Hi Jason, sorry to hear it's a tough weekend for you, hope doing the unboxing helped, it certainly seems to have and as always you're helping others as well, knowingly or unknowingly, thank you for that. I love an eBay dopamine binge hit, surrounding myself with things that have meaning to me helps during those dark nights of the soul. Thank you for all you do

Thank you very much. That's a really lovely comment. It did indeed help to make this video today. KZread can be a lovely rabbit hole to dive down! 😊🤘

Yes please to more Kerrang videos, it's great to get your perspective on arguably the best rock/metal mag, and nice one for the Dio stuff you do. As time goes by I seem to love that man's legacy more than ever! Cheers

You mentioned that Murray could be a video in itself. Actually, I think a video that's a summary and ranking of metal mascot characters would be cool! Dio, Sabbath, Maiden, Megadeth, there's Rob Zombie's robot. Probably many more.

Ronnie grew up 40-ish minutes from me. Though, he moved away before I was born. Last time I was in Cortland, I made sure to drive by his childhood home. Looked a lot like the house I grew up in. I found comforting for some reason. Me and Ronnie D weren’t so different, I guess.

​@williampagan4529 I can totally understand that. For me, it's between Dream Evil and Sacred Heart!

I'd also say Warlock's Hellbound album is their other absolute banger. Burning the Witches is a great debut but a bit rough and hungry while True as Steel is attempting commercial appeal but the production is a bit too thin for my taste and the songwriting could have had a bit more snarl. Doro's solo albums are very mixed and different. I think Calling the Wild is her most even effort, probably because of Lemmy's influence.

@@PossessedByMetal666 Yeah, I love the Warlock albums. In order they are: Burning the Witches, You Hurt My Soul (3-song ep), Hellbound, True as Steel, Triumph and Agony. Very worth listening to them in order to see how the band progresses and changes. There is a video from their Hellbound tour- Live from the Camden Palace, London that is pretty good.
