BubbaVO Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 You guys are hitting all my faves! Now I like Saxon and Krokus, they definitely rocked hard, but they are definitely coming close to the Spinal Tap line IMHO.Buckethead is flippin' off the hook.

Steve Haynie Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Riot (not Quiet Riot) was a great band from the end of the 70's right before the explosion of hair bands in the early 80's. It was probably Mark Reale's thinning hair that kept that band from getting the promotion they deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably Mark Reale's thinning hair that kept that band from getting the promotion they deserved.Good point. He should have worn a baseball style cap all the time like Mathias Jabs does! Or, go bald like everyone else does now! For the record I love Jabs, and Riot was one of my favorites from that era...Swords and Tequila! We use to play about 2 or 3 covers of theirs. I also liked the basic, non over produced sound of their albums. Maybe a little Spinal Tappish but I really liked Krokus. The first few albums were just like AC/DC then they developed a more metal style. Great chord and solo work on Midnight Maniac. Loved old Motley Crue, Accept but Udo's voice may take some getting use to! Saxon. Something a little different would be Tygers of Pan Tang - John Sykes played with them awhile, more proggy would be Dream Theater. My favorite Scorpions albums = Animal Magnetism, Lovedrive, and Blackout - before that was more organic and after that was more poppish, but I liked it all. Getting MSG's first few albums (esp. the 1st two) is always a good thing. Although more of a hard rock band to me, Y&T's albums are great such as Earthshaker and Black Tiger (they get kinda poppy on parts of that one but still rock). And, some great guitar work on Loudness albums - some may not like the ESL/ Japanese voice. The guitarist, Akira, is very derivative of VH1 style but really comes into his own as the albums progress.

Z Love his playing but he does look kind of like a Spanish-style, old-school Tampa Bay Buccaneer (not that there's anything wrong with that)!! Check out his newer stuff like Metamophisis...or something like that. Very awesome playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Plus 1,000,000 on King's X and Dogman. One of my desert island faves. Their best-of is a good overview, and their newest studio album, XV, has the highest concentration of good tunes of the last several. They're re-issuing a TON of old live stuff from different periods too. Dogman FTW. Ogre Tones and XV their recent releases are really good too. I have every KingsX album though and I like something on all of them, but I think Dogman is their best album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qv4p4mLKR4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just amazing leads in War of Words. Brian Tilce, I think was one of the guitarists in Fight.How about Helloween? Very good Euro-metal from some shredders in Germany. Better than Scorps and Accept IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
