Lots of great stuff in those posts, Chukzombi. I had quite a few of them on vinyl when they were released. If I remember right I got Gim Reaper "See you in Hell" and OZ's "Fire in the Brain" during the same shopping trip at Sam the Record Man. Also, "River Runs Red" is still one of my favorites.lets toss some oldschool lesser known metal into the mix. i have deep knowledge of 80s metal.

ya know, i found almost all those lesser known bands from reading magazines like HitParader, the local metal radio station out of Seton Hall University or on the local public access TV channel which played metal videos every night at 11pm. this was before Headbangers Ball which was just bullshit a lot of the time. also thanks to doing that "penny for 25 records" ads they had on the back of magazines i was able to amass a huge library of music. did anyone ever actually pay for that service?
some more small bands
before GnR did it.
i hung out with all these guys, they used to hang at the local biker bar.
this was before they became world famous for those christmas songs.
killer song, hehe
try these guys out.

i had heard that, but to me the loudest band was either Metallica or Danzig. i lost my hearing at both concerts. with Danzig i was right at the stage and was bombarded directly. Metallica i was in Meadowlands arena far away from the stage and same shit happened. i guess Metallica was the loudest.

thought iron maiden on the world slavery tour with their 170k watts system was the loudest for a long time. don't know if they ever said it was IM's fault, but after the day after they played a local 8k civic center, it was closed down for a while after pieces of the ceiling fell off.
wonder how much shit they would get for that now lol.

i never saw the Motor City Madman live, a friend of mine did and he said it was an insane show. best live performance i have ever seen was Blue Oyster Cult. all those guys live around here and they played here a lot back in the day. i tried to make it to every single show. they would switch up instruments midsong. i dunno, that shit blew my mind. they played better than any band i have ever seen live. a lot of bands sound like shit outside the recording studio.
BTW , BOC was contracted to write the soundtrack for the animated movie, Heavy Metal and for some reason they only used one song. so the released the rest on this album and its probably one of the best albums of all time. Heavy Metal still had a great soundtrack, but it would have been better if they had used all BoC.

That's actually better than I remember the rest of the songs being. But still pretty bad.
