Death Angel
Celtic Frost
Scorpions made some fine albums in the 80's, Animal Magnetism and Love at First Sting to name two of them
Late 80s was the golden age of thrash, slayer, megadeth, anthrax, metallica, exodus, testament, kreator, nuclear assault, sabbat all released their best stuff between 86-89
^^ latest Scorps isn't bad either 😉
I used to love heavy pettin
Diamondhead Canterbury is as metal as ill ever get
So I guess that means no

It's fun spotting which band they are parodying in each song on their first album.
Maiden,pity the new sound on the last two albums is gash
Diamond Head
Scorpions
Saxon
UFO (I know,not really metal)
Doro Pesch / warlock

My first gig was Dio supported by Warlock at the Newport Centre! I must have been 15. Doro was certainly popular with most of the audience!

Not metal, but.....
The Stupids
Zodiac Mind Warp are the worst band I have ever seen. And that's up against Pronghorn and a few others...
Did see Maiden, MSG, Blackfoot, Ronnie James Dio, Robert Plant, UFO, Rick Wakeman, Deborah Harry, Wishbone Ash, 10CC and a few others at the Mayflower in Southampton - well aware that these aren't all metal bands, just reminiscing...
I'll just leave this album here...
Oh and why not
Never really a Slayer fan but when they're good, they are amazing.
Queensryche anyone?
You can't talk about 80's metal without mentioning Shades Records in St Anne's Court. Used to get dragged there on Saturdays by my mates. Brilliant place.
Tobruk... Wild on the Run 😆

Operation Mindcrime 🙂
Operation Mindcrime is a classic
80s Hardcore > 80s Metal
