Ok... got almost 3 hrs of the podcast in, and here are my thoughts.
Anthrax - Never listened to Anthrax in the day. I very much appreciated this tune ... I appreciated the reminder of why I didn't listen to these guys back in the day. Well, at least there's nowhere to go but up from here!
Testament .... never listened to Testament in the day. This was a little more enjoyable.
Priest .... man I need to go back and discover these guys. Though, it seems a lot of what I do end up playing is either hit, or miss. This was a 'hit' (as was The Sentinel)
Nightcrawler ... couple of very nice tunes!
Primal Fear ....
Accept ... another act just outside of my comfort zone back in the day, and I just don't have it in me to go and re-discover them. Good stuff though.
Battle Beast ... pretty cool, though nothing I haven't heard
The Ferrymen... Top 20 album of the year for me so far. Which *is* saying something since I've bought/Spotify saved about 50, and sampled another 50 or so.
Leather Heart - Paul just put me on to this album, which was Tony-the-Tiger GREAT!
Nautiluz ... totally digging this tune. Very big Edguy vibe I'm getting here.
Pretty Maids... awesome (as should be expected)
Annihilator... this rocked hard.
Instrumental was VERY nice. Lots of different things going on here.
Powermad ... certainly passes the "Jason test".
