Child-safe hard rock/prog rock/metal songs?

[aaronX]

I'm sure the Mayhem DLC is perfectly kid friendly!

[------]

So, after racking my brain and scouring my playlist, I've come up with:

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
Knights of Cydonia - Muse
YYZ - Rush
Paid in Full - Sonata Arctica
Fury of the Storm - DragonForce
Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas
Warriors of Time - Black Tide
Magic Man - Heart
Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Amaranth - Nightwish
Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden

So, how's this?

Hammer Smashed Face.

Oh yeah, I went there.

[Zebracakes]

Then of course there's

Face to Face - Sevendust
Bad Habit - Offspring
Americana - Offspring
**** a dog - Blink

lol seriously though why not just start out with old school stuff that he might like that still rocks, bands like...

Boston
Journey
The Eagles
Queen
Aerosmith
The Beatles
Kansas

Not all of the songs would be appropriate but I definitely think it's a start, maybe a way to cross over into harder material..gl!

Edit: Also a band he might really like is Shinedown...really great stuff and alot of the material is kid friendly

I didn't really pay attention to lyrics as a kid, honestly. I just liked the music. You probably don't have to police it so much.

When you say Schiz, it sounds like some slang term for poo.
