RobB Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Pick of the Month: 1984 French reissue. 3 LPs in slipcase for $15.00! Currently playing this and really enjoying it. Wish I would have opened my ears to these guys sooner... Quote
RobB Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Executive produced by Ted Templeman. EVH pulled a lot of strings to get AH signed to Warner Bros. Neither AH or WB were happy with the results and most of it got wiped and re-recorded. This, "Metal Fatigue" and, "I.O. U.", is my favorite AH-era. Quote
Submariner85 Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Interesting band. Lots of mixed styles. Vocals ranging from Peter Steele to Geoff Tate to Nergal Edited October 11, 2020 by Submariner85 Quote
ARM OF HAMER Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Here is one in my collection I would say few people know about and fewer still have heard. Quote
ARM OF HAMER Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 ................................................ and yet another. Quote

RobB Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Not a bad bit of revisionism. Mix doesn't sound much different, tho the bass/drums seem to be beefed-up a bit. Quote
RobB Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Nice compilation. Stranded threw this in for free 'cuz I bought an armload of LPs. Nice guys! 1 Quote
RobB Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Expensive for a cutout, but excellent condition and OOP. One of my fave L.A. bands BITD. Quote
RobB Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Even after 40 years it's still: "How the hell does he do it?!!" Quote
RobB Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Expensive, but a nice original copy with all the printed material. 3 Quote
RobB Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Nice original mono copy I found in Boise recently. 1 Quote
RobB Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Second and last Fight release. Missed this one on last month's RSD Drop, very bummed. It was going for $175.00(!) on eBay. Stumbled over it, sealed, for $20 at my local shop. 2 Quote
RobB Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Max Middleton, Tony Hymas and the mighty Simon Phillips. I saw this tour in 1980, Universal Amphitheater. At the end of the encore, Beck hit a huge, "E" chord, stood the guitar up on the stage and grabbed the headstock with both hands. With his feet in each of the cutaways, he pogoed the guitar all over the stage with the resultant, huge crashes of glorious noise. Crowd went apeshit. 4 Quote
RobB Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Did I mention I've been on kind of a Beck jag lately? 1 Quote
RobB Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 RSD 2020 reissue. If I'd have known this was 2x45 LPs, I would have passed. Turns out, it sounds phenomenal. Certainly helps the spartan production of the original release. 2 Quote
RobB Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I took a chance on this because Brooks speaks so highly of these guys. Glad I did. 1 Quote
RobB Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Classic of the genre. Great, GREAT metal. The guitar team are simpatico, songs are heavy and diverse. King Dingdong's vocals are, admittedly, an acquired taste, and I never really enjoyed his solo stuff, but it works here. Quote
RobB Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Bob Welch; the OTHER FMac guitarist. The post-Peter Green era kind of gets the short shrift from blues fans, but I dig it. All of the BWelch era...I dig it. ETA: I’ll make an exception for, “Penguin.” The best songs are McVie’s, she owns that LP. Rest of it seems a bit unfocused. Edited November 7, 2020 by RobB 2 1 Quote
