Old School Thrash/Death Revival
Can't comment on Deathevocation, but I'm totally glad to see the resurgence of a genre I thought was dead & gone forever. There are a lot of first-rate thrash bands springing up across the globe. Sure, there are far more subpar imitators but I've discovered some bands that are sure to be... -
Mott the Hoople: The Unsung Champions of the 1970's
Nice to hear some kind words about post-Ian Mott. I love the classic stuff, especially the last three albums but I also freakin' adore the Mott albums. Especially Shouting & Pointing. It's a shame the band imploded so quickly. The energy & hooks on the final album are off the rails. I...- muzik_guy

The La's (Official Thread)
Re: The La's Mavens is a mess & it's a damn shame because this album showed tremendous potential & had he kicked his bad habits & stayed the course, the band may well have been prolific & legendary. Nothing more frustrating than seeing a prodigal talent just being pissed away.- muzik_guy

SNFU (Official Thread)
I love SNFU. Their 2nd & 3rd albums are classics. My old band used to play "The Ceiling" at every gig on our first tour & people flipped over it. I also really dig "The One Voted Most Likely To Succeed", prob their finest late period album. I actually just started watching the Chi Pig...- muzik_guy

Mud (Official Thread)
Mud had a ton of potential, but they spent way too much time on the 50's revivalist spiel. The glam tracks were far superior & even some of the more aggressive songs like "Nite on the Tiles". Perhaps a better singles act than anything else.- muzik_guy

Exciter (Official Thread)
When I think of Exciter, the term "also ran" comes to mind. Their debut is pretty solid, albeit a bit crude & basic, but they seemed short on creativity more often than not. Beehler's vocal histrionics always bordered on monotonous & at times even grating. Oddly enough, I think the band... -
What Did You Listen To In The 80's?
I was mostly just following my favorite 70's acts who had managed to survive in the 80's. Even throughout the 80's, I mostly despised the typical 80's radio fare. I was a huge metal head & did a metal show on the radio through the entire decade, so I was a big supporter of all the thrash &...- muzik_guy

KISS (Official Thread)
Seriously, start with Kiss Alive! If that masterpiece doesn't knock you on your ass, nothing will. A bonafide classic.- muzik_guy

Great song, but Jesus, Someone actually bothered to upload that video to YouTube? It's unwatchable.- muzik_guy

UFO - Obsession (1978)
Re: UFO Obsession (1978) A brilliant album & easily my favorite UFO album. Pure class is what this album is. It's an intelligent, dynamic & perfectly paced record that I'd be hard pressed to find a flaw in. Maybe the only slightly weak tracks would be Hot 'n Ready or Born To Lose but even...- muzik_guy

Videos We've Never Seen
May not be rare to our UK friends, but I've only seen this video on US television once & that was in 1987! 3nMAjtWYjyg And I don't think I've ever seen this video...wow. JhQ6dMqJJ24 -
Danelectro Guitars
Love Danos. The most comfortable necks I've ever laid my hands on. Love the tone too.- muzik_guy

Skyclad (Official Thread)
Re: Skyclad: Folk/Thrash Love this band! Never was a big Sabbat fan, but Walkyier's lyrics are profoundly intelligent & poetic. The band, IMO, is dead without him. "Jonah's Ark" & "The Answer Machine?" are standouts. -
Saigon Kick (Official Thread)
Nothing but respect for this band. Once upon a time my old band & Saigon Kick were being courted by 3rd Stone Records (headed by actor Michael Douglas believe it or not) & only one band got the contract. Guess who? Lol. They were incredibly diverse & talented. They've done some reunion gigs...
