BLASTING
Another one of the GOATs.
>>129803632nah. it's a great album (and one of the best of 1985 for sure), but it ain't one of the best of all time. their debut EP's a lot more consistently excellent imo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKGd_vP6cqc
>>129803326I'd go for Orchid from Opeth and Slaughter of the Soul.
>>129803667i'm not sure about at the gates, but i've heard that opeth's 00s releases lose a lot of the death metal sound so those might be more acceptable.
>>129803321
>>129803667>>129803702>at the gatesnot a chance lol wtf
oh great, boomerslop thread
>>129803572Can't believe I'm the only one to nominate this for 1995.
>>129803572
Oh shit, I can hear the hi-hat on Breaking the Law become higher in pitch indeed, but not on 0:06, only post-2:43Liner notes on the 2001 reissue also said they used pool cues and milk bottles for the sound effects of Metal Gods.
>>129804005the band's great when they play fast and melodic, but most of the more rock-y tunes didn't really do much for me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrNfK-pJMYkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoTrRW0FxJohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJxZg2Jk4PI
>>129800226>I listened to Judas Priest - British Steel and was reminded of the sound from the bridge until the end of Breaking the Law. I've always unconsciously thought that they added a sound on every beat there and it sounds like a muted cowbell. But apparently it's a teapot and that makes sense.Where did read it was a teapot?
>>129803572instrumentation's consistently very good, vocals are so-so but pretty unique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNdlJMwGUZU
>>129803572does modern trad metal count? my firs time in this generalwww.youtube.com/watch?v=ErFlBsaH7Rs&list=RDErFlBsaH7Rs

>>129806414fuck, ALS took him out? damn.
Hey fellas. Are you guys also bald like me and wear diapers? Just wanted to know if I'm the only one. Btw I love Iron maiden and Judas Priest \m/Keep on rocking in a free world \m/
>>129806414Playing Battle Hymns in memoriam.
>>129806414RIP
>>129804490>but not on 0:06, only post-2:43Exactly. Those times were for you to compare.>>129806414Knew he was going to die before the end of the year, but I thought he had more time left seeing he only recently got his ALS diagnosis.RIP
>>129806414Fucking hell, we just lost Phil Campbell a few days ago. Another legendary guitarist gone.
>>129806414You were my perfect friend, right there until the end, I'm forever missing you until we meet again.
>>129806414Get the fuck. Indeed the Bridge of Death, his legacy.
>>129803572deep purple worship from japan. great songwriting, but pretty lame vocals, and the bonus track wrath of the gods really should've been included; it's better than much of what's on here.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nYsbdYvvhtscglT3W9yWGQ1snMOFuKNVghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqS9RH3nQP0

>>129809156thanks
>>129803572into the sun is fantastic, rest is just good. i like the heavier sound (and the singer is much, much better than the original guy) so i'll probably check out the other recent murasaki releases.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPK8xQEU8oY
>>129808897lmao that pic
What's /trad/s policy on bands wearing their own merch for photos and on stage?
>>129810576I've always thought it's lame.
>>129810576I dig it

>>129810576nothing wrong with italso nothing wrong with wearing the merch of the band you're seeing, just stupid rules invented by complete autists
>>129804005Is that the Village People?
>>129810576Makes me think they are arrogant and/or poorAlso when I saw Angel Witch, they vocalist raged at the drummer mid-set and it was embarrassing as fuck
Hey bros. Who else will be wearing these at the next Helloween show? They're pretty comfy.
>>129815125I wore these a few years ago at a Twisted Sister concert. Would recommend.
>>129815125Based I need these too
>>129806414I didn't even know he had ALS.
>>129806079yeah that fits here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGh40WenTEY
>>129818155Sounds like a bootleg soundboard recording. Surprising that they had money to have a backup singer in 1998. And Mark Reale looking like he was getting his wig from the same place as Michael Angelo Batio.
>>129815125Yeah I got these, can comfirm they're comfy
>>129803326Vote for Savatage and Saint Vitus
>>129803326Voting for dead winter dead too. Pretty underrated album desu
https://youtu.be/xtiFjIVCu_k?t=666They really wrote this song and still insist they had nothing to do with metal

>>129825615Their whole first album is a gem and if you like it check out Wolf's Edge of the World.I really should delve a bit more into NWOBHM.

>>129840079>I'm going to listen to this album tomorrow thanks to this.I should give it another go, it's my least listened to Sabbs album.
>>129803572I keep coming back to this album a lot, I think this and Baron Rojo's "Volumen Brutal" are the peak of Spanish trad metal
>>129803572no idea why this isn't on MA, just sounds like early sabbath and has metal riffs up the ass. aside from that, it's pretty damn good but the first riff in merchant of death sounds just like the wizard's.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLw_0eWNQLY
found a copy of sabbath vol 4 in the charity shop today, never listened to a full sabbath album just a few songs here and there but it was really good
>>129845505>never listened to a full sabbath albumlisten to master of reality. the doomy songs off vol. 4 and snowblind fit right at home stylistically with MOR.
Why does the /metal/ general call Heavy Metal "diapershit"? And why is Ozzy a "whoreson"?
>>129846580congratulations you've experienced incels that don't care about metal at large and just want to repeat the same memes over and over. the faster you abandon that general the better.
>>129846623Some of the things they were saying seemed valid desu.
Can I get the vote count? Gonna see if I can get anything on the chart tonight
>>129846683here
>>129846683man, who gives a shit about those charts
>>129846702I've discovered all kinds of great music because of them>>129846693Thanks

>>129846693Adding a vote for Yngwie. I wasn't into his stuff I had heard before but this one was quite nice
>>129847852added
>>129803326Parish - Envisionit's a cool Crimson Glory side projecthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1NTo7F-WmA
>>129847861likely the last time a Running Wild album will appear on these chartsMasquerade was the last good one
>>129803572>>129848117counted it
>>129846693torn between voting between Blood Farmers or Shadow GallerySG had more fantastic albums to come, but Blood Farmers didn't release another until 20 years later
>>129848179i haven't listened to any shadow gallery yet, but blood farmers is one of the best doom albums i've heard from the 90s. amazing riff after amazing riff.
>>129848206That seals it then, I wanna vote for Blood Farmers Shadow Gallery still had good albums to come
>>129848230counted, and i really hope it gets that third vote it's such a killer record
>>129848179why not vote for both?>>129848249i'll listen to it tonight
>>129846580Because all heavy metal fan lack a hairline and wear diapers. If you don't have your diaper on, you're not welcome in /trad/
>>129848254>why not vote for both?I dunno, what's stopping some goober from casting a vote for everything on the list

Everyone says that Symphony X is prog but to me they sound closer to Kamelot than Dream Theater.Am I retarded?
>>129850814It's Power Prog or whatever.

>>129853674Based.
>>129853674I listened to this at work last night. UFO is growing on me.
>>129853729Check out their live album, it's amazing.https://youtube.com/watch?v=jgog_Qk1mXA
>>129853729my only complaint with their albums is that there's a bit too many generic, sort of throwaway rockers on each of the ones i've checked out. but their hits are fucking stellar.
>>129853750That's the only Schenker UFO album I haven't listened to. >>129853812Yeah, that's basically every 70s blues rock albums.
>>129854056>Yeah, that's basically every 70s blues rock albums.it's telling that the only 70s rock bands i can name that didn't really have those kinds of throwaway tracks are also heavy metal, too.
>>129803572either this or blackout is probably the album i listen to the most
>>129855655what's your favorite track on there
>>129856064either altar of the king or swords and tequila
>>129806414>Ross the Boss has finally crossed the Bridge of Death:I heard that he answered fan questions more than the rest of manowar did. In the past I wanted to ask him about some of the songs he wrote with them. But I never ended up asking him (since I couldn't find if he had a fanmail inbox).He had writing credits on a few of my favorite manowar songs, like Each Dawn I Die and Secret of Steel (among others).
>>129685957>W.A.S.P. - Still Not Black EnoughI'm listening to this album and (in my personal opinion) it doesn't seem as good as the ones before or after it. Both of those 2 albums, the 'Crimson Idol' and 'KFD', also seem to have better audio quality. There's no official upload for 'Still not black enough' on youtube, so idk if that plays a role.
>>129856113>>129856113
What's twisted sisters best songs? You get no points for mentioning I wanna rock, or we're not gonna take it. They're good, but i imagine anyone who has heard the band has heard those songs.Here's two pretty good ones from the same album as those 2:https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=mmFHy6WY0IAhttps://music.youtube.com/watch?v=egoO65ZbFrc
