Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba - Skyline

[Glasser]

Awesome. Yeah definitely thrash in there. I really dig this album. The flag is massive too. 3 feet tall 6 wide.

That is one cool piece 

Very cool old school sounding stuff. Reminds of Possessed and Whiplash. Dig the vocalists delivery.

Finished my week of I&W live era shows. Amazing to relive these shows. What a magical time of music discovery.

I taped the Boston show, and if anyone has a copy, I'm slobbering all the way through it.

The 3-4-93 Official Boot is a must have and to me, it's the Holy Grail of DT live albums.

Khirki - Κτηνωδία

Trio from Greece. This is from 2021, discovered at the very end of the year. Very cool album, imo. It's a strange mix of heavy rock and some folk influences (not a ton, mostly in vocal and guitar melodies here and there). It's actually pretty immediate, and yet I wouldn't exactly know who to compare them to. Some songs, especially at the beginning, are shorter and more urgent (e.g. the opener Deadpan, with a super-cool instrumental section, or Raging Bull). Others have more of a slow build (e.g. Medea, with great percussion work and a little more "folky", or Wolf's Lament). Overall, I'm loving the album and I keep coming back to it!

I think I can agree with this statement. A dream setlist from that era (which happens to be my favorite DT era  )

[TAC]

This album has some cool artwork too!



2022. Listed as Post Black Metal, whatever the hell that is. Musically, it's pretty nice. Not sure if I love it, but enjoyed it for the most part.

Yup, that is the best live album for sure.

I have not.  If it is death metal though, I will take a hard pass.

Glasser, last year I did a UFO Discography And Listening Party Thread, but I also included the Michael Schenker Discography along with it (and Waysted too!).

https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=55669.msg2696232#msg2696232

I covered all of the Schenker albums, so you might want to go through that thread. Feel free to update the thread as you go through the Schenker albums. We'll all join in on the discussion!



I will say that Michael Schenker is, along with Gary Moore, my all time favorite guitarist. He has never presented himself as a guitar hero, and because of that, his discography is filled with landmines. Other than his early classic stuff, his collaboration with Doogie White was outstanding. But he's surrounded himself with some subpar partners throughout his career. Still, his playing is undeniable.

Nice find! Checked out a few tunes and this seems well done. Nice riffs and acoustic breakdowns. 4 bucks on Bandcamp! Its a one man project so I'll give this guy $15 bucks. I love supporting the artists, especially indies.

Sorry, I was just outside but heard the words 'UFO' and 'party' in the same sentence and came running in.

  As it should be

Bastet - s/t. Some classic old school 80s riffing metal. I like this.

70's Live Albums today!





And yes, I know that the Ozzy isn't a 70's album, but in lieu of no Sabbath live alum, I went with Speak Of the Devil instead.

[Stadler]

I have - and love - every one of those except for Aerosmith (though I have "Live! Bootleg").

That Aerosmith album is a must if you like them. It's a BCN radio broadcast and rowdy as hell. It doesn't have the finish of a well produced (quotation fingers)live album.

That's a pretty fantastic selection! Haven't heard that Aerosmith live either - is it an official release?

[TAC]

It's not an official release. It's a radio broadcast. It's definitely not live album quality, but that's what I like about it. It's like a real good sounding bootleg. I bought it on Amazon years ago.

My copy is out for delivery. Waiting on it to show up. I have to go out after work and I plan on blasting this thing. I totally forgot it was release day.
