The Official Hard Rock / Classic Metal Music Discussion and Memorabilia Thread!

I would never recommend an album to any of you guys if I didn't think you'd personally like it. I've sent every one of you guys recommendations, but that's because while listening, I think, jeez _______ might like this.


And I sure wouldn't post anything with growls in this thread. I'll just PM Wolfking personally.

Nothing can be too "power metal" for Tim.  His favorite albums are Keeper of the Seven Keys, which started power metal.

And that is a smart decision to keep the growls out of this thread, nobody besides Tim and Wolf want them lol.

Exactly! Plus I believe that Accept's Fast As A Shark was the blueprint.

[jjrock88]

Yes Helloween gets the credit but Accept deserves the recognition.

Valid.  Kai Hansen just took it to a new level with Jericho.

[jjrock88]

That's a solid valid answer.

Fast As A Shark has that wicked double bass romp with a very melodic chorus.

Accept was sneaky melodic. They really bridged the gap from the NWOBHM to European Power Metal. I have always loved 80's Accept and rate them as a favorite band.

Sounds like you've just cemented another listening party.

[TAC]

Hah!

I would love to! But the UFO one is going to damn near kill me.

The new Dee Snider live record is awesome.  6 songs from For The Love of Metal, 7 Twisted Sister songs, a cover and a new song.

His live band is ridiculously good - two of the guys played in Toxic Holocaust, so they're thrashers.  They inject a lot of heaviness and beef up those old Twisted songs.  And Dee is just flat out amazing.  I'm not a fan of the editing - they mixed footage from a daytime festival, a nighttime festival and an indoor club show.  The stage outfits change from shot to shot and he'll have his sunglasses on, then off, then on again.  The concert is also intercut with some interview footage in between songs. 

Other than that, I'm really happy to have a live album from that cycle.  He played some festival shows for that record, but never did a club tour here in the US.  I'd have gone to see him in a heartbeat.

That's good to hear. I'm planning on checking it out.

I literally laughed out loud!

[Lowdz]

Kade is full of metal! 🤘🤘🤘

[wolfking]

RROOOAAAAARRR!!!!!!

[jjrock88]

I will also add that Wolf is made of metal  . Plus his circuits gleam and he is also perpetual. Most importantly he keeps his country clean.

Just watched the Y&T documentary- really enjoyed it. I love this band. It was bloody expensive though.
All I can say is “fuck you Phil” 😭

[jjrock88]

That would be a cool documentary to watch. Y&T had most of the check boxes to be a huge band, but never really got there.

[wolfking]

Dave is a very underrated guitar player.

I gotta say, that Cathagods album Tim pimped is absolutely amazing.  Definitely in the list of top albums of the year.

I have an album called The Monster In Me from 2019 - is there another after that?  I am waaaay behind on everything at the moment.

No, that's the one.  I didn't know it was from last year.  Just pimped it, I just must have thought it was new.

The band commissioned it themselves and used Kickstarter to fund it. You can buy it through their site but I watched it on Amazon. It was expensive but a cheaper option than buying the disk and paying import duty. No bonus features either which is a pain.

Spotify has mis-labeled it as a 2020 release.  I'm finding it more and more enjoyable with each listen.  Their prior release was fairly meh

[TAC]

It came across my new album ticker. Maybe it got some sort of rerelease. Not sure.

How would you have it? Where did you hear of it, and why didn't you tell us about it??
