Has anybody said Exodus -Bonded by Blood? A benchmark album that was recorded at the same time as Kill em All but not released until 85 and missed the bus. They should've been part of the Big 5.

Iron Monkey - good choice. I saw them in Bradford and you could see looks of confusion on people's faces.

Okay - this has just become a boring ****athon naming the most obscure albums hasn't it?

Okay - this has just become a boring ****athon naming the most obscure albums hasn't it?

most of what's listed is pretty mainstream stuff to be honest...you live in cave or something?

EDIT: No but you listen to queensryche, it's close enough to mulleted hermitage to count 😆

The last few haven't.

46, been going to rock/ metal gigs since I was 14 .

There are so many, anyone got a USB turntable i can borrow to rip all my old vinyl please? 😆

Can someone explain where heavy metal becomes rock? 😀

fwiw , Led Zep , RATM ,Van Halen,Pantera , Clutch , Kyuss,Faith No More are all on my list.I've forgotten loads.

Pleased to see will haven mentioned, most intense band I've ever seen live. Played non stop for 45 mins at Camden barfly and walked off. Brutal.

Can't believe I forgot;

Lordi - Monsterican Dream, The Arockalypse, Get Heavy
Cathedral - The Carnival Bizarre

Perhaps we need a thread to recommend some new 'metal'... I love getting good new music and am working from home today so can play it loud.

My starter, although not really new is Sixx AM - This is Gonna Hurt - dont be put off by the nikki Sixx inclusion, its better than recent Motley Crue outings, in fact the best thing since Too Fast or Shout at the Devil.

C'mon give me some spotify ideas for the day?

Twisted Sister, You Can't Stop Rock n' Roll

i'm enjoying trying to guess how old everyone is by their choices on this thread 😀

i dont really have any specific favourites but have loads that remind me of times in my life, all good memories.

some new bands emerging out of the UK at the moment for people to check out:

'sylosis' seem like they'd fit the general tastes of most on here (been around for years but finally doing big shows all over the world)

and in no particular order for people to check out:

tesseract
textures
skyharbour
uneven structure
no consequence
visions
red enemy
monuments
periphery

Can someone explain where heavy metal becomes rock?

No but who cares? It's all good.

[i] It's all good.[/i]

*has doubts* (I mean [i]Twisted Sister[/i]?? 😆 )

Nearest I'd come is Jane's Addiction - Strays.

But then I have got some of the stuff mentioned previously but it ain't metal.

*has doubts* (I mean Twisted Sister?? )

They 'supported' Saxon at a festival at Leeds Queens Hall (with Girlschool and Anvil on the bill too I recall). They blew everyone away with their sound because it was so fresh.

(And I am am just bringing more suggestions to the table - it's pointless just repeating ones others have said)

Fair enough. I just remember them as a novelty act.

I just remember them as a novelty act.

Then Nirvana released 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and all that glam went out of the window and everyone started to be moody and black.

Twisted Sister, You Can't Stop Rock n' Roll

Jeeeeeeebus. I used to have that album 🙁 Sounded great when you were 13, mind.

I've just realised I forgot to put Nevermore on my list with This Godless Endeavor. Ooh, and Amon Amarth, In Pursuit of Vikings.

And I won’t hear a bad word said about Twisted Sister – they brought us “I Wanna Rock”, “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “Burn in Hell” (covered in style by Dimmu Borgir).

I’m also quite partial to this song at the moment:

DON’T JUDGE ME!

Jeeeeeeebus. I used to have that album Sounded great when you were 13, mind.

I loved Anvil - 'Lips' doing his 'trick' of running a vibrator up and down his bass. 😀 Most amusing as a kid.

At the time I used to DJ at my local youth club - aways opened with 'Hey Mickey' (Toni Basil) ((because my name is Mike)) then run into 'I Am, I'm Me'. Jeebus - I wish I could be a 15 yr old again sometimes.

Oh yes, Eat em and smile, that brings back memories. Good call, DLR was a proper frontman.

Alice cooper - Bilkion Dollar Babies

I liked 1984 - some proper energy in there. Buut the best track they ever did was 'Runnin' With The Devil'

Lots of good old stuff and less good new stuff mentioned.

This ain't bad (video would be frowned upon in less liberal minded places of work):

The neighbours congratulate you on this thread and (probably) particularly enjoyed

and

EDIT OOPs that didn't work, back to the drawing board!

I will try again!!!

Da Motleys, Same Ol Situation off Dr Feelgood..

*wades in late to thread*

Lots of good stuff there, I would like to add, for your considered opinions (and yes some of this isn't really 'metal' exactly)...

Pretty much anything by D-A-D
Yngwie J Malmsteen - Live in Lenningrad
W.A.S.P - The Headless Children
Love/Hate - Blackout In The Red Room
Tigertailz - Bezerk

As for new stuff, very much enjoying listening to Skarlett Riot and The Howling at the moment

Yngwie J Malmsteen

Awesome.
[i]
"There's a hole in the sky
Don't ask me why
Cos I don't know"[/i]

Scorpions - Lonesome Crow

Excellent début Album, "valking zoo zee desert, zee sun ist drying oot my brain, I zink I'mst goink mad"

cancer bats - only just got into them great stuff.

loved carcass, sepultura (pre-chaos AD), obituary, dismember

then got into pitchshifter, fudge tunnel, godlfesh, ggfh

then into punk nofx, good riddance, alice donut et al.

the wife walked into me listening to mastodon at an acceptable volume the other day while working - 'you know thats not music...'

How to keep the list down to just a few, here are some and no doubt I will realise I have missed something

Dio - Last in Line
Motleys - Too Fast For love / Dr Feelgood
KISS - Creatures Of the Night
RATT - Detonator or Reach FOr the Sky
Metallica - Ride the Lightening
Hardcore Superstar - Spit It Out
Rainbow - rising
Wednesday13 - Transylvania 90210
LA Guns - LA Guns
Iron Maiden - Live after death
Montrose - Montrose
Van Halen - Women and Children..
AC/DC - anything up to and inc Back in Black
Saxon - The Eagle has landed
Judas Priest - British Steel
Queensryche - operation Mindcrime

good shout on SIXX AM - much better than anything Vince or Tommy has brought out. Other newer stuff could include Crashdiet, Hardcore Superstar, JettBlack, Danko Jones and Reckless Love. Quite a few others that I have bought Cds of that are excellent but just cant remember their names.

Y&T Earthshaker
Tesla Mechanical Resonance
Montrose Montrose
Iron Maiden + Killers
Hughes Thrall (ok not metal)

Hughes Thrall is a defo rock/metal album in my books and early Y&T is ace.

Snortin Whiskey , Drinkin Cocaine - Pat Travers, only one song but up there!

the wife walked into me listening to mastodon at an acceptable volume the other day while working - 'you know thats not music

My mother once threatened to get out of the car I was driving if I didn't turn Carcass' Buried Dreams off.

My husband also doesn't really share my taste in music, and likes to make up his own lyrics. For example, he insists that the choral bit in Gateways by Dimmu Borgir says, "Peeenis! Peeenis! Hah hah hahahaah! Peeenis! Peeenis!" (About 1 minute in)

Incidentally, that video has everything - fabulous hats, tassles, gurning and a woman who sounds like that Welsh woman from Catatonia.

By the way: Anthing softer than Gun 'n' Roses (Appetite for Destruction, to be specific) is officially "rock" so please amend your selections accordingly

Well, if were going to be pedantic the only proper metal comes from the Midlands.
😀

Quite understandable really.

Well, if were going to be pedantic the only proper metal comes from the Midlands.

Understandable really.

No pedantry, just facts 😀

You would be right in the '70s, but after that the rest of the World saw the light and came over to the darkside \m/ \m/

I haven't seen Manowar mentioned above (apologies if they are in there) my mate adores them, apart from All men play on 10 I think they are awful, more Spinal Tap than Spinal Tap but it takes all sorts, I think they coined the phrase "Death to false metal"

Heavy Metal is [i]supposed [/i]to be funny. 🙂
It's the most inherently ridiculous type of music.

Which is why bands that take it seriously get very boring, very quickly.
See Metallica for the prime example of the latter.

Don't you mean "death to all butt metal"? or should that be "death to all BUT metal"? 😉

Heavy Metal is supposed to be funny.

No, no it's not. Metal, like most forms of music has it's comedic acts, but as a genre, not it's not.

There are certain forms of all music, which have me rolling around laughing, wether it's meant to be funny or not. ELPs Brain Salad Surgery has always had me in stitches - and Judas Priest's "Breakin' the law" - oh man ~ a masterpiece of comedy. 😆 I love it!

I'm struggling to see the comedy in something like of 'Hand of Doom' by Sabbath.

I think there's been one glaring omission from this thread so far...

Someone's just mentioned Judas Priest.

You have killed this thread.

How will you live with yourself now? Eh? Uh?

*tuts*

Oh and the only decent album twiddly dee Malmsteen did was the first one.

He WAS quite an exceptional guitarist back then.

Watch out Grandma, here comes a lawn mower. It's going to rip your face off.

Seeing as this is a thread for favourite metal album, my immediate thoughts are;

Paysage D'Hiver - Self titled and Das Tor
Limbonic Art - Ad Noctum
Darkness - As The last Star Falls From Heaven
Darkspace - I or II
Cultes de Ghoules - Haxan
Nekrasov - Cognition of Splendid Oblivion
Witchrist - Beheaded Ouroboros

How about Blizzard of Oz or Diary of a Madman?

Up there with some of the best Sabbath ever did IMO.

I think because Manowar take themselves so seriously that's the comedy. Eric Adams has a great voice, really powerful.
Another +1 for Will Haven. Saw a very scary performance by them in sunny Dudley.
Shoot em Down by Twisted Sister should be up there with the best. They said "look like women, sound like men, play like mother****ers". Did their firs ever uk gig at Wrexham FCs ground (pointless fact)

I saw Will Haven at the LA2 and they were great. Supported by Crowbar too, who we mainly went to see.

NP:

[img] [/img]

i had the will haven - el diablo inlay cover (see above) signed by Grady at the deftones tour they did in '98. i hid it so well for safe keeping that I've never found it!

i've been lucky enough to experience them live a few times. favourite was with speedhorn and earthtone9. or when they supported fear factory. good times.

It has always annoyed me that they primarily seemed to tour with nu-metal bands, and generally got lumped in with that lot, which I hate by the way.

It truly is a great album.

JUDAS PREIST - Sad Wings of Destiny

all killer, no filler. Just rip roaring riffs and sonical eargasms

Suicidal Tendencies - How will I laugh tommorrow, Still cyco and Art of rebellion
Pantera - vulgar display of power
Iron Maiden - live after death
Therapy infernal love
stone temple pilots - core
Temple of the dog
Metallica - Puppets
Paradise lost draconian times
Megadeth hidden treasures
Anything by blink182 <whistles nonchalantly>

I knew I had forgotten one....
White zombie - astro creep 2000

Judas Priest live though... Absolutely dreadful.

I've reconsidered, and now chose Entombed Uprising, Metallica Death Magnetic, and probably some Converge album again.

There is only one name in metal - KING DIAMOND
