Metal's original troon died the other day.Jokes-aside, Free had one hell of a voice. RIPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YAbLE73KOg
>>128250229Damn, RIP. I've heard of these guys in passing but I've never sat down and listened to a record from them.
It's okay. My main problem with this record is the amount of padding per song, there are a lot of songs here that re-use the same passages over and over for no real reason other than to just extend songs. The sound here dances between Scorpions-ish heavy rock and blazing speed metal like what Accept were doing at this time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F7D-HSinF0
lmao on the Piecemaker tv show in the nazi dimension Helloween is the most popular band
>>128252436kek, do they actually play some helloween music in it?
>>128252436>>128252456James Gunn loves 80s hard rock, metal and AOR. He's gone on record several times saying Hanoi Rocks are his favourite band
>>128253178>He's gone on record several times saying Hanoi Rocks are his favourite bandThey're an okay rock band but it's surprising to hear someone call them they're favorite. This is the only song from them I really like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRBrsDU7pas
>>128253325They influenced quite a lot of people though.
>>128253395Oh yeah... fuck I always forget those guys influenced a lot of the glam metal & hard rock later on in the '80s. Weren't they an influence on GnR?
>>128253403Yes
>>128253410It's particularly apparent with early photos of the band pre-Appetite.
>>128253438https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanoi_Rocks#LegacyQuite a decent legacy considering that they weren't around for that long.
>>128253552>Skid RowHoly shit they were Hanoi fans?
>>128253395Fenriz has a Hanoi Rocks tattoo.
Black Sabbath - Live in Asbury Park NJ (05-08-1975)https://www.mediafire.com/file/uzxon4mz187aafh/bs1975asburyparknj.zip/filelet's kick things off with a classic. 100 minutes of Sabbath at their best. soundboard recording.
>>128253676Oh hell yeah. It's too late for me to listen to this (going to sleep after this post desu) but I'll make it the first thing I listen to tomorrow. BTW did you get to listen to any of the Jap stuff I recommended you?
>>128253676>100 minutes of Sabbath at their best>Sabbath with Ozzy is their best
>>128253694I was waiting for the new thread actually, it's more fun this way. anyway, good night
opinions?it's my favorite beside black sabbath and kyuss
>>128253804I couldn't get into Sleep but I remember liking the song Dragonaut from this one. I probably didn't give them a fair chance cause Dopesmoker fans used to be really annoying
>>128250136Satan's Host - Metal From Hell
>>128253697>Sabbath with Ozzythat's just called Black Sabbath
>>128254867It's called worst Black Sabbath.

>>128250136i voted for some albums like 3 weeks ago, are those still being counted? if so i won't double vote
>>128253804Great album but it's not one I listen to often, there's some filler towards the end. >>1282545072 votes for this one now. Is it really that good? I might check it out after the Sabbath live show posted here last night.>>128257125Yeah they are. You can take a look and see if what you suggested is in here, if not I'll add it.
>>128257737is Seventh Star being deemed non-metal? don't see it on the list
>>128257817>is Seventh Star being deemed non-metal?Yes and for the same reason Pyromania didn't make 1983's chart. Both records are far more on the hard rock/AOR side than actually metal.
>>128257874fair enough
>>128257887Finally put on the live show, I forgot how good Killing Yourself to Live is. So catchy.
>>128258063yeah that show is one of the greatest ever. insane setlist. Megalomania is my favorite Sabbath song and they knock it out of the park. '73-75 is their peak imo
>>128258248DUDE THE VERSION OF SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE WAS SO FUCKING GOOD
>>128258063it's an amazing recording, professionally done by a radio crew. at some point in 1975 or 1976 it was lined up for official release. then in a truly strange turn of events, everybody involved forgot about the tapes until some hero leaked the soundboard years down the line. (I mean literally they just forgot. it was rediscovered on a shelf and they had to bring someone in to identify the recording.)
>>128258343I can tell. This sounds like an official release, the inconsistencies with fidelity a typical live recording has just aren't here.>(I mean literally they just forgot. it was rediscovered on a shelf and they had to bring someone in to identify the recording.)Lmao. This would've become a legendary live album if it came out as planned.
>>128257737>2 votes for this one now. Is it really that good?it's very unique for how relentless it is but it's more interesting than good imo. it reaches death/thrash levels of barrage despite the riffs being cleanly rooted in USPM
>>128258519>it reaches death/thrash levels of barrage despite the riffs being cleanly rooted in USPMNow that sounds pretty cool desu (Have to listen to it eventually anyways, next week I'm going to start tearing through the 1-2 votes in the list to figure out what should fill the rest of the chart and what shouldn't.)
I'm downloading the Anthem album recommended in the last thread but the rate is so fucking slow :(
>>128258814It's one of the best albums from the Japanese scene, the wait's worth it
Not metal
Very solid album, though I'd say the only essential song here is the first. Also goddamn, this guy can fucking scream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5cU3WWJgG8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i_PNEuGVY4
Solid NWOBHM record, there's some pretty fast material for 1981 here like Burning Alive and the title cut. The sound here is a mesh between Diamond Head & Def Leppard's first album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dytHx_XNkfshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4m6FtZO1IY
This song's fuckin' groovy, man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4YN31oe7zY

>>128263504>1. Judas Priest - PainkillerFully agreed, and one of the few times where having the best track first really paid off for a band. >2. Iron Maiden - The Number of the BeastPrefer Hallowed be Thy Name but a solid enough choice.>3. Dio - GypsyGood choice.>4. Mercyful Fate - EvilSatan's Fall wins me over for how dynamic and well-written it is but I wouldn't argue with this desu>7. Witchfinder General - Witchfinder GeneralI've never been the biggest fan of this album but the title track is probably my favorite off it. >9. Saxon - Princess of the NightA contender for their best song, that riffing is proto-USPM.>11. Trouble - AssassinI think every song off of that album is amazing but I'd say The Fall of Lucifer is the best among them. Genuinely one of the greatest metal songs of the '80s.>16. D.R.I. - Worker BeeOnly one I flat out disagree with. IMO Beneath the Wheel and Abduction are the real hits off of Thrash Zone, Worker Bee (and the shorter songs in general) just kind of felt like filler.
Was surprised at how bouncy the riffing is (I'm used to the stoner metal that's a lot more drawn out and crunchy) but I enjoyed this a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4YN31oe7zYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTWjaMNbyTMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaBD6LQuNQ4

>>128258829ok, I fell asleep waiting for the album to finish downloading lol. three songs in and really liking it so far. I got the remaster by mistake and it seems like it might have been remixed for more vocal exposure, but the guy can sing so it's all good.
>>128265551this was a highly consistent and enjoyable listen. the singing and the driving feel of the arrangements reminded me of Sortilege, but not as over the top on this album. I think I'll be checking out more of this stuff.

>>128265893underrated album
>>128265893Exactly as I imagined it would sound. Pretty cool W.A.S.P.-tization, but lacks the swing and feel of the original.
Bump‘Mu’s a bit slow, tonight
>>128265551>>128265830Hell yeah. You gotta listen to Gypsy Ways now, it's the record before Hunting Time and is more or less the same in style and is comparable quality-wise, too. Speaking of Anthem, I have some spare time before I go out for a bit so I'll probs listen to No Smoke Without Fire now. >>128266842Thanks m8
Power & Blood sucks. Annoying glam tune with an even more annoying "WHOAH OOH OH" chorus at the end that goes on for like over a minute. Aside from that total whiff, this is still consistent; quality material but you can feel the band resting on their laurels with the non-standouts. Said standouts are fantastic, though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gxr-LhT7gUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLZXAGQXlwMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BrGDqf8Vjw

>>128269955Just got back, downloaded it and am about to blast. It can't be that bad.

Awe-inspiring. Not just because of that artsy, magnificent album art; but because everything that could've went wrong DID go wrong, and sometimes it went even beyond that.>>128272336Now on the list
>>128272385So it's worth listening to?
>>128269955>This album was done by a whole new team of studio musicians and has nothing to do with the real Killer Foxx. Still they used the band photo from "Going Under" on the back cover for this album.oh my
>>128272415

>>128279301i haven't checked in on those guys today, lemme go see
wew that's a bad thread
>>128250136Accept - Russian Roulette
Solid EP, highlight for me was the lead guitar. There's some really cool playing here.>>128279684It's on the chart now. That album's a new favorite of mine, it's right up there with Restless and Wild in terms of quality.

>>128280442I've been meaning to listen to this for a bit. I'll check it out tomorrow when I wake up
>>128280442Thanks for sharing.
Why is Megadeth opening for Disturbed? Does that mean Megadeth is smaller than Disturbed?
>>128282712>30.10.2025 / 12:34:56>123456nice
>>128280442Pretty good and cool cover art.
>>128282712yeah, they're always trying to co-headline for this reason, it lets them play stadiums. they have a hard time filling venues on their own.
>In an exclusive Rolling Stone interview, Dave Mustaine tells us why he re-recorded the Metallica classic "Ride the Lightning" for Megadeth's final album.>"I wanted to do something to close the circle on my career right now,“ he says of the re-recording. “I wanted to pay tribute to [Metallica] ... I wanted to make sure that nothing is left unsaid.”>Mustaine on James Hetfield:>"One day he’s a singer, the next day he’s this fucking powerhouse and I’ve always respected him as a guitar player ... I don’t believe he thinks I respect him and I wanted to make that clear.”https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dave-mustaine-megadeth-metallica-ride-the-lightning-album-1235456511/
https://youtu.be/3vSH9pMzHm0?t=440Metal should be just moments like this.
>>128268719That's damn good.
Was listening to the title track this morning, if any of you haven't checked out this classic record yet you're doing yourself a disservice.https://www.mediafire.com/file/cryrgif9pxyixk6/%255B1970%255D_Sir_Lord_Baltimore_-_Kingdom_Come.rar/file
>>128286305thanks anon, been meaning to check this one out for a while
>>128286504no problem m8, i just downloaded their second record and am about to listen to it right now.
A step down from their blazing debut, it's not until the final three songs that the record really bares its fangs. Personal favorite was Woman Tamer, it's like one of Zeppelin's heavy songs on steroids, amazing groove and riffing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64wO7UlRCCI
