WyattSheepMask Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Had a skim through that list from the link you posted. It’s a very predictable, safe list, partly because it’s reader voted and readers vote for the same things over & over, but there’s a few on there that I’m looking forward to reading your review for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 My current way of finding classics I may have missed is using the charts feature on rateyourmusic, select a decade/year and a genre and just go through stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 23, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2020 Metal Hammer had a very generic top 50 Metal Bands of all time list in this months issue. It was very much the usual suspects filling the list, but they inexplicably had Burgerkill at #14 though! eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divorced Dad Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Next ten from that list: 40. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds I'm familiar with most Beach Boys singles and thought this was just okay. It was an enjoyable listen but there was nothing that jumped out and grabbed me. Probably won't listen to it ever again. 39. Metallica - ... And Justice For All As much as I enjoyed' Ride The Lightning' I didn't really like this. Something about it just didn't click for me. Musically there was nothing wrong with it, the songs were decent but it just didn't click for me. 38. Megadeth - Rust in Peace. The only Megadeth song I'd heard before this was 'Symphony of Destruction' which is a song I quite like. I really liked this though, I know Megadeth are part of the Thrash Metal big 4 but this sounds completely different to Metallica to me. Not the biggest fan of Dave Mustaines voice. Really liked the guitars on this. 37. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours This is another album that I'm familiar with as Fleetwood Mac are one of my favourite bands. Could honestly listen to this over and over again and not get bored of it. It's just that good. 36. Kiss - Alive! The opening to the album announces Kiss as 'the hottest band in the land' and its hard to argue with that when listening to this. You can hear the attitude and swagger coming through the speakers. Loved this. 35. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars Bowies finest album in my opinion. Absolutely perfect from beginning to end. 34. Slayer - Reign in Blood I liked this. At times it almost felt like a hardcore punk album to me and not a metal album. Listened to this while breaking up some pallets for a project and it was a good soundtrack for that. 33. Rush - 2112 This was an interesting one in that there were parts I loved and parts I hated, often within the same song. I don't know if it would grow on me with a second listen but for now I'm not sure about it. 32. Queensryche - Operation:Mindcrime A band I've heard of but never listened to before. This was enjoyable but there was nothing about it for me that made it stand out from any other Heavy Metal band or album out there. 31. Iron Maiden - Powerslave. I'm a big Maiden fan so have heard most of their albums before. This was released right in the middle of that 80s run where they released banger after banger. The length and intricacy of some of the songs is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 That “final tour” lasted less than even I thought it would. Could be worth a giggle if they actually bring it over here, but after the last tour did so poorly I’m not holding my breath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 30, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 30, 2020 If anyones into old bootleg footage of the late 90's/early 00's, you can do a lot worse than by subscribing to the Liberated Tape Archive on youtube. They are uploading tons of old VHS ripped concerts, there's some shoddy quality there but dig through and there's some proper gold. Great stuff.

Merzbow Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Saw Mithras post this on Facebook and it's excellent, top tier death metal with lots a great progressive elements and sounds very Katatonia like later on during the album.https://rannoch-uk.bandcamp.com/album/reflections-upon-darkness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they link to shows from similar bands in the description which is a god send https://www.youtube.com/user/hate5six/videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofSports Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) If anyone has an interest in audio bootlegs, I have an online list. Old school heavy rock/metal, original punk, indie & pop. Made up of; soundboard recordings, audience tapings, rehearsals, studio demo's etc. Message me if you'd like a look. I've no objection to sharing some, as long as it doesn't get out of hand.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 31, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 31, 2020 Its a brilliant channel, all set at the time just before mobile phones came in and ruined gigs forever. Don't get me wrong, I still love a gig as much as anyone but no one can tell me that there was not a different energy to rock concerts before they came about. Proper time capsule stuff, nostalgia kick for me. Alot of those bands are still going but live footage from the period highlighted is scarce. I saw a lot of the bands at the same time and seeing the videos brings tons of memories flooding back, i love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
