Yes, it does. Hopefully I remember to make note of it when I get home.

It sure fucking does.

And you pansy's that don't like melodeath, Per Nilsson is simply an incredible guitarist.  First day buyer of this for sure.

Black Sabbath's Final Tour

So excited for this. The last time they came here to Oz a few years ago was when everyone decided to tour at the same time, and I couldn't afford them all. I'm glad I'll get the chance to see Sabbath.

I missed them too.  I'm there.

Another Stryper song.  The weakest so far, but solid groove.

Some memorabilia that fell out of a box around 'ere today..........

Van Halen Tour Books ( 1981, 1986,1988) .........awesome photos in the 1981 especially
Van Halen Looney Tunes radio promo red vinyl (still sealed) for Van Halen 1 (1977-1978)
Ozzy Osbourne Souvenir Single w/patch from Donninton 1986

[Lowdz]

They've spelled Donington wrong on that  Ozzy patch. Only one n. I was at that festival Though it wasn't one of the best Monsters of Rock lineups.

Yeah, not bad, but I like the first two a lot more.  Seems like it's gonna be a good album though.

New wASP track is really good. Last Runaway. Listened to it last night on Apple music.

[jingle.boy]

How is Apple Music compared to Spotify?

How is Apple Music compared to Spotify?

I'm still using both as the apple music is free. I think spot iffy has more of the obscure stuff. Delve too deep in Apple music and it doesn't do it. Don't think I'll subscribe when the trial is up.

I was wondering if/when I should start my trial.

It's worth a free trial. There are chunks missing from discographies though, even of fairly well known bands.

Yeah, it is.  Unfortunately the second track they released was the usual WASP formula reworked yet again.  It sounded good though.

[TAC]

Did you guys see this?

https://bravewords.com/news/ritchie-blackmore-to-regroup-with-rainbow-deep-purple-members-for-shows-in-2016-which-will-be-all-rock

 

[wolfking]

I didn't think he would ever do this.

[bl5150]

JLT has been talking about this for ages and Blackmore has been quoted as saying JLT won't be involved  ..........JLT does tend to be full of shit.  Coverdale tried to get Blackmore involved in his Purple thing and it didn't work out.   It'll be interesting to see who is involved from the old lineups - I'm guessing not too many.

And just 4 dates? 

And he takes his current lineup much more seriously?



Okey dokey. 

[wolfking]

Even JLT would be laughing at the way these bozos look.

I'm thinking Coverdale and Hughes might be involved, they have been talking shit too.

[BlobVanDam]

Blackmore mentioned this a little while ago, but I don't think there was a set date yet. Even though I enjoy Blackmore's Night, I've wanted this for ages. Blackmore still has the chops, and it would be a shame to not see him rock out one last time.

[jjrock88]

Didn't think that reunion would happen

Next time I win the Caption Contest, this is the pic I'm going to post!


I can't see any of the current Purple guys doing it. Glover? Airey? Paice? I guess never say never.

I totally agree with bolded part.

Even though nothing beats first BN album, Shadow of the Moon, I thought Secret Voyage was great and their latest, Dancer and the Moon, was enjoyable.

Secret Voyager is easily my favourite, although I enjoy a lot of the earlier stuff too. I only enjoy one or two songs since though.

[Lowdz]

I would think glover and pace would be reluctant without gillan, and I can't see him doing it with Ritchie even for a huge retirement pot.

Jlt would be the singer who could still hit the notes. DC and Gillan couldn't.
Candace will have the casting vote. She seems to wear the trousers (tights?) in that relationship.

[BlobVanDam]

Coverdale has already spoken about reaching out to him to organize something similar recently, and it didn't happen. The current members of Deep Purple are probably all just doing their thing. Not sure on JLT.
I'm not expecting anyone major to return; I think it will be a bunch of nobodies who are happy to do whatever Blackmore says.

[Lowdz]

Doogie white again?

[wolfking]

Doogie white again?

Exactly who I thought of too.

[TAC]

Well he's in Schenker's band at the moment.

These four shows basically amount to a one off and with the fact that they are so far off, I think anyone is fair game as far as participation. I doubt Doogie would be part of this very much. He really has nothing to do with Deep Purple, or even Rainbow for that matter. If he's there, he's only doing a song or two. I mean Ritchie could trot anyone out for this.

I am expecting Coverdale, Hughes, and JLT.

I have been given the heads up to get my roulette underway......we won't be in full swing for 7-10 days though.  It took a lot of persistence from Chad to convince me to do one and I know there's probably as much if not more trepidation about finding stuff for mine as there is for Chad's.

I've tried to drop some hints in the upcoming OP but if you're worried about not having anything to submit .............don't be .  It took me 15 mins to line up dozens of possibilities for Chad and Tim and also bear in mind that  there are gaps in my collection for most bands ,  even the big ones.

For example:

- I don't have Rocka Rolla by Priest
- I don't have Master of the Moon by Dio
-  most of the big power metal bands I just have a few albums.  Even for my faves like Strato there's a big gap between Infinite and Polaris.  I only have one or two Hammerfall albums, zero Dragonforce, a few Gamma Ray.   I have only two Primal Fear albums.
- up until the recent thread feature here on WASP (another all time fave) I was missing most albums after The Crimson Idol.
- the only Maiden songs I have from the reunion era are on From Fear To Eternity (best of)
- Ozzy is an all time fave and I don't have anything post Ozzmosis other than Black Rain.
- I don't have any Tate era Queensryche after Promised Land aside from OM2 and Dedicated to Crap.
- I have very little Malmsteen post Facing The Animal
- I don't have Subhuman Race by Skid Row
- I don't have any of the Gary Moore blues albums other than the first one.
- there are a number of Deris era Helloween albums I don't have
- I don't have Endgame and a number of other recent Megadeth albums



I could go on and on and most of the bands mentioned above made my Top 50..............you guys have heaps of stuff I don't have.    I have given a number of pretty good hints above I think and there's plenty more where that came from if you just ask.   if you're desperate float some bands that you know I like and assume I have everything from .......I may not.  Just float some ideas via email/PM and I will help. 


Obviously the main purpose of the exercise is to discover some new bands - that's what will get me most     - but any album I don't have by any artist will be allowed. 

It would be awesome to see as many thread regulars here as possible having a go 





And Kade.........I have all my submissions ready for your roulette , unless you throw some curveballs I am not expecting  

[wolfking]

And Kade.........I have all my submissions ready for your roulette , unless you throw some curveballs I am not expecting  

Good lord, I only announced it 2 day or so ago and it's not running for another 6 months.    Guess I can't back out now.

How the fuck am I gonna be in two roulettes at once?  I'm going crazy enough with Chad.  And yes Brent, there is probably gonna be stuff that can be sent, but it's gonna be a mission.

I agree it's not ideal with Chad and I at the same time . I am in two at the moment myself and it's quite possible that with Evermind's up next I will be running one and participating in two or three at the same time , so you have it easy
