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...
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.
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.
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...
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"!
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?
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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?
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.
OK, I'm not an expert on classic rock CD reissues, but I've been going on Discogs and finding that early Albert Productions CD reissues of various Bon Scott-era AC/DC albums are REALLY expensive - well above $50. Are they supposed to be that expensive?
OK, I've been a mega-huge Bachman-Turner Overdrive fan for a couple of years now, having collected the first CD reissues of their first four albums. However, I've been turned off of buying a first CD reissue of Head On because of the price: the cheapest one is like $59 on Discogs right now...
I haven't heard all of Joe Walsh's material, but I've heard stuff he did with the James Gang, the Eagles and on his own, and I really liked what I heard, so I'm thinking of getting one of his albums. I've narrowed it down to The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get and But Seriously, Folks...
I wasn't sure where this would go because there was a comment claiming that this was originally recorded in 1987, but many people seem to think it's new, so I'll put it here.
Anyways, while listening to my favorite classic rock on YouTube, I saw more than one comment about a new band going by...
Because if we are, then I've got some great rock-disco songs that I've discovered over the past ten years:
"Fire" by Mantus
"Spiderman" by Peter Griffin (no, not the Family Guy character)
"For Your Love" by Chilly
"20th Century Foxes" by Angel
"Walk the Night" by the Skatt Bros.
"Empire...
What would be some good rock songs to set the mood for a demolition derby? I'm especially interested in hard-drivin' 70s-80s stuff such as:
Deep Purple - Highway Star
Status Quo - Paper Plane
Agnes Strange - Give Yourself a Chance
Quiet Riot - Demolition Derby
Blitzkrieg - Blitzkrieg...
After listening to Grand Funk Railroad's cover of "The Locomotion", I clicked on one of the videos in the Related Videos sidebar. I don't know if I made a huge mistake or what, because what I found was some of the worst musical vomit I have ever had the misfortune to be exposed to. As it turns...
I know he did two different versions of that song, one on Standing Hampton and one on the soundtrack to the movie Heavy Metal. Is the latter version available anywhere on CD or MP3 besides the Heavy Metal soundtrack?
