I just remember the Smirnoff from last time, I guess now it was Skol or something haha

Well, I missed this entirely. I assume it resulted in a lot of empty Smirnoff bottles on the floor.

The real question here is: collectively, how many times have the members of this board recreated the Slayer and Iron Maiden logos on jackets, paper, walls, etc. in their lives? I think the total would have to be in the millions (maybe for some individual posters alone!). Just like Dan this subject b...

My vinyl copy is arriving in town tonight

Black Axe - "Highway Rider"

Anyone have a copy of this for a reasonable price? I can go for about $12 on it, which is reasonable according to a friend who does a lot of vinyl sales and trading. I stared at the cover to this bastard at the record store for ages as a kid and never picked it up for some reason... of course I have...

Sortilege - Metamorphose

What happened to Hellroadie? Funny, I just got ahold of Gates of Fire and loved it and thought he was holding things together quite well on the vocal front.

Crystal Logic = best album ever, take it to the bank

Even better -- they didn't announce it, Mike just said "we play some NWOBHM songs" to me before the set. And then out of nowhere that intro comes down like a UFO landing on earth... so good.

One riff is also a dead ringer for mighty old Iron Angel (but they said they were gonna do that in Slayer already, so...).

Just got this (man I'm out of the loop aren't I?). They just get better and better with each record, and seem to also sound older and older with each release. The least flashy drummer in metal history to boot, wow... I do not know how any real metalhead could not listen to this album and deny bowing...

Man I really couldn't believe it when I saw them live, me and Mike have been friends for years and I never thought in a thousand lifetimes he would form a FUCKING NWOBHM!!!!! band and they would PLAY LIVE IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!! I mean I got to see "High Treason" played live... I must be one ...

Dark Quarterer - S/T (just got this, what an amazing album)

Haha whats up Anthares... those shows were so great, back when the punk scene in town was still existent, things have never been the same since...

I second the knock against the Boss Metal Zone. I think if anyone is looking for perfect tone in a box they've lost it or never had it to begin with. Get a good amp (with tubes!), fit the right guitar with it, and you've got it made. No need to go out and buy a shit Boss pedal or a 3000 dollar Big M...
