Nice work.

I would have never imagined that such a tiny island would have a scene such as this.

Any sound clips to be heard?

Metallica already had 3 records released at that point. The NWOBHM scene was long dead by then. The number of Metallica records released by a given year has nothing to do with when the NWOBHM movement ended. Sure, thrash was huge by '86, but that doesn't mean other styles were not also active in '8...

Let me put it this way, I'm a some what frequent member of 3 other message boards regarding other topics of interest not at all related to Metal and have been for many years. One of them even longer than here. The age demographics are just as broad, if not even more so then this one. Out of all 4 me...

On Topic: In this thread I’d rather hear great stories about finding cool records in unexpected places etc, than boring arguments on whether or not the internet made everything unfairly easy for new collectors. Agreed. I actually find this to be one of the more entertaining threads on the forum and...

Can't be any worse then seeking opportunities to tell others they are wrong about something as subjective as their taste in music. Right?

Knew bigfootkit's advice would be completely wasted on an autistic narcissist like you. :lol: :roll: Any advice is good in the proper context. That doesn't mean it applies to every situation. Regarding the other comments, tell me more about where you obtained your medical credentials to be making s...

Random replies to various comments, in no real order: 'Power Games' is a good call; I forgot about that one. I'm sure somewhere on this bloody site is a recounting of how I got a copy on purple vinyl from John Haupt (glockose; I'm guessing he's not posting here much anymore?) at a record show 17 ye...

Interesting collection. I'm sure this would have more Inherit value to you for sentimental reasons having actually attended the gigs. Sort of like documentation of where you have been. As was already mentioned, the quality would be a major contributor if others would be interested and the scene for ...

Avenger, we all know you are a whiner, we do need a subforum for it. You single handledly pretty much ruined this forum, main reason many former contributors vanished. Suck it up and know it is true. If having an opinion "ruins" a forum then you are clearly a sign of the times where freed...

The millennial snip was a last-second addition, meant mainly for some humor and to highlight just how different- and difficult- it was trying to hear obscure 80s metal music in 1996 vs doing so today. There is a bit of a misunderstanding among some younger fans re: why some older fans are against h...

Talking about Harvest Moon, last summer I did an interview with Glynn Porrino about the band: http://www.sacredmetal.de/board/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13021&start=45#p542607 (scroll down) That was a great read, nice one Pavlos! I particularly enjoyed Glynn's remembrances about the Wrexham festiv...

Not at all obscure but Priest 6 times from 2002 up until a few years ago throughout Alberta. I guess Maiden, Anthrax and Metallica would come in next at 4 each. Only really see the bigger bands during major tours in this neck of the woods.

The last three stories were pretty great. Been a while since this thread was updated with good content. Not sure the "millennial" snip is warranted though as this demographic knows nothing of this music let alone buying physical copies of the material. Let's be honest, late 90's collecting...

Never heard this one before.

Cheers and thanks for the upload.
