Never heard of Gravestone either. I checked it out and I liked it too!

Me too. Didn't mind the singer either. He fit the music. Enjoyed it.

Holy crap Leprador, I'm checking this out now. Really cool!

If I may, are you old enough to have been listening to this in 1985, and what part of the world are you located?

I'm an old fart like, I guess, the most participants of this thread (I was 15 in 1985).
Born and living in the land of teutonic terror. Started out with Bon Jovi, Europe and Def Leppard before Dio pulled me in the world of Heavy Metal.

Back To Attack was the 2nd album from Gravestone. The first (Victim Of Chains)...nah...just too basic. The 3rd and final one (Creating A Monster) is alright, but not as cool as Back To Attack.
After the 3rd one they disbanded and Dieth joined UDO. From the rest of the band I've never heard again.

Just checked my song ratings on that Gravestone and it seems I thought the first half was killer , the second half mostly filler. Very solid album overall .

Someday...I'll be coming up with an album you've never heard of.

Will definitely have to check out that Gravestone then.

Seems like a fun DVD from Schenker - if the vocals are up to scratch , should be a good one.

Yeah, should be good. Enjoyed MSG when I saw them 3 years or so ago.

At first I was thinking, Another Schenker Live album?? The last one was terrible.

But this looks awesome. I am so totally getting this.

Who's the chick in white at 1:31?

Isn't that Bonnet's bass player?

Oh, and Robin McCauley

Holy hair dye, Batman. A little dark on the eyebrows dontchathink?

Lowdz · « **Reply #6202 on:** January 11, 2017, 08:40:13 AM »

Anyone tried the Bonnet album from last year? I liked it.
He's doing well for a guy in his 70s.

Yeah - one of the surprises of 2016 and will make my Top 40 quite comfortably.

Haven't even heard a note.

Lowdz · « **Reply #6205 on:** January 11, 2017, 09:02:55 AM »

McAulay is in great voice in that clip, dodgy eyebrows or not. At least he hadn't got the purple rinse that I'm Peterik is sporting

I noticed that. That actually got me very excited for this.

That MSG dvd is a Tim dream come true.

TAC · « **Reply #6208 on:** January 11, 2017, 02:40:19 PM »

It's great to see Michael so active. But honestly, he's repackaged a lot of these songs on a number of live albums. Still this looks really cool.
I'd be skeptical, but his last two studio albums (with Doogie White) have been his strongest in many many years.

TAC · « **Reply #6209 on:** January 11, 2017, 08:43:53 PM »

In advance of the new Accept live album this Friday, my Dirkschneider-Live Back To The Roots arrived today.

This is a MUST for anyone that likes Accept. I have no idea what my hesitation was. His band is fantastic and great deep tracks, especially a fantastic version of Midnight Highway.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #6210 on:** January 11, 2017, 08:48:30 PM »

Interesting. I was on the fence for that one.

It would be cool to buy it along with the new live Accept. Double Accept!!

~~Tim~~Jason.............you must go to amazon and get that ~~EP remaster~~ live album. The live songs on that ~~remaster~~ are awesome!

Listen to yourself!

I think you know what you must do.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #6212 on:** January 11, 2017, 09:08:24 PM »

The only thing that made me on the fence is when you mentioned the sound was Accept-lite

TAC · « **Reply #6213 on:** January 11, 2017, 09:12:13 PM »

I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm a huge Wolf Hoffman fan, but Udo's band has done a great job. One listen on Spotify was not enough. I highly recommend this.

TAC · « **Reply #6214 on:** January 11, 2017, 09:14:14 PM »

Great OLD footage of Accept. Breaker era.

I can't figure out what Paul would consider to be the weak point lol

New KXM song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvTnzne69Ts

I thought their debut was way overrated but this sounds a bit more accessible /catchy to me. Still a bit "out there" but has me a bit more interested than before.

wolfking · « **Reply #6222 on:** January 13, 2017, 02:48:42 PM »

I didn't really like the first album at all, but that song was better. Pretty unimaginative chorus but great vibe and killer solo from George.

Lowdz · « **Reply #6223 on:** January 13, 2017, 04:12:25 PM »

Never liked Pinnick's voice so wasn't a fan of the first one. Wasn't there two different versions of it?
Lynch used to be a hero of mine until he did the grungy thing in the 90s.
I wanted his BFTA tone.

Lowdz · « **Reply #6224 on:** January 13, 2017, 05:14:52 PM »

Just listened to the KXM. Good god that was fucking awful.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #6225 on:** January 13, 2017, 08:17:56 PM »
