Briks sees what he finds on the family radio

Alright, so I was sitting in the living room, sloppily wrapping my last few Christmas gifts, when I thought "hey, why not put the radio on a metal station and turn it up loud, since I'm home alone?" Our radio has the ability to connect to internet stations, so I found a Russian one named Radio Caprice - Speed Metal, and decided to listen to whatever was playing.

First up was the song "Starrider", by a band named Alpha Tiger, which was a pleasant surprise. At first I thought it was Bruce Dickinson singing, which is one of the best compliments a metal vocalist can be given. Hardly speed metal though, more '80s heavy/power metal. Pretty good song, might check out these guys.

Next up was Cobra - "On My Knees". Sounded like pretty standard early '80s stuff to me. NWOBHM, I guess.

The station then played "Operation Ground and Pound" by Dragonforce. At this point I changed to another station because **** Dragonforce.

Now I was listening to a Norwegian station named Metal Express Radio instead. I saw they were playing Samson, a song named "Six Foot Under", and I was delighted because I'd never really listened to Samson, but knew that Bruce Dickinson was in it before he joined Iron Maiden. I don't think it was Dickinson singing, though. Disappointing.

The station was having a '70s hard rock throwback thing, so next up was Cheap Trick - "Surrender", which I really like. Gotta listen to old pop rock tunes once in a while, man.

The next one had me confused. At first I thought the vocalist was female, but then I realized that the song, named "The Twilight Zone", was by Rush. Then it all made sense.
