Why do the songs that Sammy Hagar did with Van Halen have a different style from what he did with Montrose or solo?
I love Sammy Hagar's works. One thing I've noticed about him is that the songs that he did with Van Halen seem stylistically different from the ones he did with Montrose or in his solo career. Why is this? I mean, I listen to stuff like "Bad Motor Scooter" or "There's Only One Way to Rock", and...- Diamond Reo

What other bands would I like if I like classic metal, NWOBHM and thrash?
Yes, I mentioned Krokus in my starting post for this thread. I have their 1983 album Headhunter, and I've been thinking of getting another one of their albums.- Diamond Reo

What other bands would I like if I like classic metal, NWOBHM and thrash?
Well...I wouldn't consider Rush "metal", but I am intrigued by Uriah Heep and Nazareth, mainly because of "Easy Livin'" and "Hair of the Dog". I wonder which albums I should go for, though.- Diamond Reo

What other bands would I like if I like classic metal, NWOBHM and thrash?
Ever since I discovered the music of Black Sabbath/Ozzy and Metallica many moons ago, my love for metal has grown exponentially. My favorite types of metal are just plain metal, NWOBHM and thrash metal, and my favorite bands include Black Sabbath/Ozzy, Metallica, Judas Priest, Saxon, Slayer...- Diamond Reo

What other Scorpions albums would you recommend?
OK, so yesterday, I got Lovedrive in the mail, and you folks are right: it freakin' ROCKS! I honestly don't know why tracks on this album don't get so much radio play. I mean, this stuff is on par with tracks like "Blackout", "No One Like You", "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Big City Nights"!- Diamond Reo

What other Scorpions albums would you recommend?
Last night, I dug out my copy of Scorpions' Blackout and listened to it again, and it was just as good as - if not better than - the first time I listened to it. Now, I'm thinking of getting another Scorpions album, but I'm not sure which one(s) to get. Which would you recommend?- Diamond Reo

I think I might be into Diamond Head a little too much...
Interesting. I actually learned about these guys before I learned that Metallica had covered some of their songs. From what I know, they also got signed to a major label - MCA, to be exact - and did two further albums before their first breakup. Regardless, I do sometimes wonder what things...- Diamond Reo

Actually, from what I read, their first single - "Shoot Out the Lights" b/w "Helpless" - was released in 1979 and Lightning to the Nations was released in 1980.- Diamond Reo

I think I might be into Diamond Head a little too much...
OK, for over a decade, I've known about Diamond Head's classics "Am I Evil?" and "It's Electric", but it wasn't until fairly recently that I picked up a CD copy of Lightning to the Nations as a gift for my mom. Well, I loved the album so much that I not only bought a copy of the same edition for...- Diamond Reo

Which of these three Saxon albums should I get on vinyl?
I love Saxon; they're #4 on my favorite metal bands list. Having owned and listened to at least one copy of Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm of the Law and Denim and Leather, I was talking to a guy who sold me a CD copy of the first one, and he suggested that I go for an original vinyl pressing...- Diamond Reo

I love Foghat's "Fool For the City" album, which other one(s) should I get?
OK, for all those who suggested Foghat Live: Ordinarily, I don't go for live albums because I'm the kind of guy who would rather see the band live if he wanted to hear a live version. However, I may just make an exception here. Also, I loved their version of "Sweet Home Chicago" from Stone Blue...- Diamond Reo

I love Foghat's "Fool For the City" album, which other one(s) should I get?
A year or two ago, I bought Foghat's 1975 album Fool For the City. It was a solid album (barring "Take It or Leave It"), and I'm considering buying another album by them because they rock. Which other album(s) would you recommend?- Diamond Reo

How many of you here are into Riot?
NO, I'm NOT talking about Quiet Riot. These guys were formed in New York City in 1975 by guitarist Mark Reale. I forget exactly how I discovered them, but I enjoy their music, particularly their 1977 jam "Rock City". They also seem to be popular in Japan for some reason.- Diamond Reo
