but obviously people like them, slayer sound sooo much better than them lol

Obviously

I'm still not keen on Slayer's recorded stuff but when I watch videos of their live performances, it suddenly all makes sense

I liked "Death To All But Metal", but after that, meh.

Electra, here is some Squid Lickers for you as you kindly requested, hope you enjoy cause that would mean that I'm not too much of a freak...

I don't remember asking for Squid Lickers & why would that make you a freak?

I know what I want for Christmas. Hell's new album Curse & Chapter. I've really fallen in love with this band

Hell - Darkhangel

Love Black Star Riders /Thin Lizzy Tell Me the Legends of Long Ago.

Thanks for the Music .

Today is a very important anniversary.

Yes, it was 30 years ago today that I attended my first gig.

It was the 29th November 1983, and it was Slade.
A bunch of us from school went. A ticket cost £3.80 and a t-shirt was £5.

I've been to hundreds of gigs since then, but this still ranks as one of the best gigs I've ever been to.
They were on a real comeback in the early 80s and produced some of their heaviest, raucous material during this period.
Suffice to say, hearing it live was an epiphany. They kicked serious arse.

Ideally, you should all own this album.
The live version of Lock Up Your Daughters should be blasted out every single day.

Oh and Noddy Holder should be knighted.

I was on a youtube Slade evening last night...Listened to one song..at least that was the plan), ended listening to loads of them. I agree, amazing performer and such a fine band as well, "Slade Alive" is one of my fav live albums of all time.

Interesting

I wish they'd just let it lie....but each to their own I guess

how many good albums have ever been made from 'unused' stuff?

Almost time to start thinking about my top 5 albums of the year

Mine always has Metallica's Black Album in it

Iron Maiden have never been exactly fashionable: too mainstream for punk, too scruffy for New Wave, too hairy and loud for pop. But it seems the classic British metal act is very good at turning metal into gold.

In a report published on Friday by the London Stock Exchange, the group – formed in Leyton, east London in the 1970s – has been cited as one of the UK's fastest growing music firms, helping to pull the UK from economic heart failure into recovery.

I was thinking more of albums released this year

2013 has been a great year for music for me, it could be a challenge to narrow it to a top 5.

Just wanted you to tut and shake your head at home

My top five - no particular order

Iggy & The Stooges - Ready To Die
Wintersun - Time1
Mael Mordha - Damned When Dead
Hell - Curse & Chapter
Amon Amarth - Deceiver Of The Gods

My preliminary top 5

Trucker Diablo - Songs of Iron
Tom Kiefer - The Way Life Goes
Black Spiders - This Savage Land
Baleful Creed - Baleful Creed
BlackWolf - The Hunt

There have also been quality offerings from Snakecharmer, Scorpion Child, Leogun and others.

And that's only considering hard/heavy rock. Blues and Jazz have both seen good releases this year.

Clutch - Earth Rocker (obviously)
Placebo - Loud Like Love
Queens of The Stone Age - ....Like Clockwork
Royal Thunder - CVI
Black Sabbath - 13

two other mentions for Evile and Chase and Status

What was all that about with Squid Lickers, Electra? Must admit I clicked on one I thought you wouldn't like it.

I have no idea. Maybe someone posted a while back saying they liked them & I then asked for a link. I really can't remember. You're right, not my thing.

I wouldn't even think they belong on this thread tbh.

VersaEmerge have changed their name to just Versa after leaving the 'fueled by ramen' label. They also have an EP coming out soon titled 'Neon EP.' No idea where the band stands on the upcoming album which was already due to be released.

How to be a Thrash Metal vocalist!
