Coma Of Souls is my all time favourite, the perfect balance between aggression and melody. The first stuff is absolutely essential and It was a huge influence for the first black metal bands. Last stuff, for me, is not as good, abusing of sing-a-long choruses, lack of the classic evil in Kreator's music.

Coma is up there for me too, it’s my #3 favourite Kreator album. I know exactly what you’re saying about the lack of evil. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Take care Darcy

Big Van Halen fan here, grew up with my dad really loving them so I've gotten big into 'em over the years. Whether it be the DLR or Sammy solo stuff, Sammy Hagar & The Circle, all of them, I love them all nowadays. For my ranking this'll be a weird one as my tastes have changed with Van Halen, as I used to dismiss the Sammy albums due to the mixing and production, always saying there was some amazing material in there... but then the remasters came out (I think they're more like remixes), and what I always thought was there shined through, now I love them a ton. I also was lucky enough to have seen Sammy on the Best Of All Worlds Tour last week which was AMAZING and made some special songs even more special for me now. Truly in my #10 favorite bands of all time man. #12 - VH III: Never need to hear it again, like ever... the songs are too long, seem to have little direction, and Gary didn't fit with the group in my opinion. #11 - OU812: Never been a fan of this one, I enioy some songs such as Sucker in a 3 Piece, Source of Infection, and A.F.U., Finish What Ya Started as well. But the mix in general isn't my thing and it just seems flat. #10 - A Different Kind of Truth: Once again a great album, despite Eddie's guitar and the Alex going crazy on the drums, Dave's vocals were already going out, and it just feels as incomplete without Mikey's vocals / screams. #9 - Balance: I really enjoy this album, it's heavy and Grungy for Van Halen. Seventh Seal is heavy, Big Fat Money sounds like an oldschool DLR Van Halen track, Can't Stop Lovin' You, while cheesy is fun and something for the ladies lol. #8 - 1984: Contrary to your views, this is a hits album for me, the deep cuts just don't do it for some reason in my opinion. Yes they're all classic Van Halen, and great when I'm on a Van Halen kick, but I've found when I go for this album, I just want Panama, Hot For Teacher, and Jump and the rest is just "enjoyable"... Maybe that's because I haven't worn them out yet though haha. #7 - Women and Children First: This album is definitely where the heavier side of Van Halen came in. Romeo Delight, Everybody Wants Some!, And The Cradle Will Rock are amazing; however, Toro Toro! and Loss of Control just don't do it for me. - Going forward these are all interchangeable depending on the month haha! #6 - Van Halen II: What used to be my favorite, I've since soured on just a little, maybe I just overplayed it... D.O.A., Women In Love, Light Up The Sky, Somebody Get Me a Doctor, holy crap the whole album is outstanding, I just overplayed it most likely. #5 - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge: Coming back to real drums on this one, thank god, there's a real kick on this again, it's heavy, it's rockin', it's Van Halen baby. Judgement Day, The Dream is Over, Top of the World, Pleasure Dome... this has been spinning the most lately in my household. #4 - Diver Down: Strange one here, but I love this album so much, the vibe, the mix and production, the tracklist. It's just a very fun album, it's like a summer album if that makes sense. Where Have All The Good Times Gone, Pretty Woman, Full Bug, man it's fun. Love Happy Trails as a closer as well. #3 - Fair Warning: Unchained and Sinner's Swing, need we say more? Well yes, the bass and guitar tone on this thing are absolutely brutal. Mean Street, Dirty Movies, Hear About it Later... man cannot go wrong. #2 - 5150: Since the remix came out last year, I've been in love with this one. Love the intro to Good Enough, yeah it's cheesy but Dave was always cheesy so it fits for me. The Bass sound is killer, Eddie was being so innovative with the Synthwork and Guitars as always, Mikey and Sammy's voices worked very well together. Only thing that could make this better would be if Alex dropped the drum pads for REAL drums. But 5150, Dreams, and Best of Both Worlds are favorite of mine, not just from the album but all time. #1 - Van Halen I: It just has to be for me, Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, You Really Got Me, Atomic Punk, could go on with all the songs... it's perfect! Wanted to add this as I love the band so much, top #10 songs in no real order: Unchained 5150 The Dream is Over Best of Both Worlds Runaround Top of the World Runnin' with the Devil Humans Being Sinner's Swing Panama If ya read this essay, thanks brother haha, very much appreciated :)

@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 thank you mate, highly appreciated!

Only been to three shows technically so far... Metallica (did both nights), Garth Brooks and now Sammy haha, don't think I have a favorite honestly, they all blew it out the water with how good they were!

Definitely agree with you about Technical Ecstasy, it's actually a very pleasant listen... the remix on the deluxe box set makes it even better in my opinion. My two favorites are: Paranoid - Despite many of the songs being so overplayed in my youth, I still love the title track, Iron Man, War Pigs, etcetera (I always forget how good the latter half of Iron Man is, the solo is great) Electric Funeral is also a favorite of mine Love the mix as well, and it's a perfect length album, I like my albums shorter, 30-40 minutes. Sabotage - this is what got me into Sabbath, I'd heard Hole in the Sky from Pantera, and Symptom of the Universe from Metallica's little mid concert jams in the 90's. Those tracks are heavy as all hell... Megalomania is my all-time favorite Sabbath song, definitely their magnum opus song in my opinion. Thrill of it All and The Writ too? Phenomenal, something about the mixing and production, Ozzy's vocals on this, all of it makes a perfect album in my eyes. Glad to see we were on the same page about Sabotage, seems I'm always seeing people put it lower for some reason... but hey memusic is subjective, that's what makes it fun haha.

I used to love the live albums in my collection but i'm not so fussed at all now. Much prefer watching dvds/blurays. Totally gutted when i found out that two of the tracks on the UFO - strangers in the night 'live' album were recorded 'live' in the studio and not at a concert and what's more, they released the two mixes (without the crowd) as a 10" RSD release. LOL. The world needs a re-release of the W.A.S.P. - Live At The Lyceum, London video on dvd/bluray, WITHOUT the garbage 'americanised' crowd overdubbing they did to it. The crowd noises don't even match up with what's happening on screen. Hopefully they have all the footage somewhere with the original crowd noise but i doubt it very much after all this time

I first heard the SCORPIONS in '82 like you but then I got to see them live in Indianapolis in 1984 on the Love at First Sting tour with Bon Jovi opening...lol. SCORPIONS were my first concert. I go back a ways. The live albums I was raised on: 1. KISS ALIVE 2 (btw - the studio songs on side 4 are GREAT! I thought "Rockin' in the USA" and "All American Man" were good enough to play live) 2. QUEEN LIVE KILLERS - I was raised listening to this favorite band of mine. 3. JUDAS PRIEST - Unleashed in the East - the first live album I owned. 4. IRON MAIDEN - Live After Death - the DVD concert still I think remains their best. 5. UFO - Strangers in the Night 6. Honorable Mention goes to... SAXON - Rock & Roll Gypsies

Coma Of Souls is my all time favourite, the perfect balance between aggression and melody. The first stuff is absolutely essential and It was a huge influence for the first black metal bands.

Big Van Halen fan here, grew up with my dad really loving them so I've gotten big into 'em over the years. Whether it be the DLR or Sammy solo stuff, Sammy Hagar & The Circle, all of them, I love them all nowadays. For my ranking this'll be a weird one as my tastes have changed with Van Halen, as I used to dismiss the Sammy albums due to the mixing and production, always saying there was some amazing material in there... but then the remasters came out (I think they're more like remixes), and what I always thought was there shined through, now I love them a ton. I also was lucky enough to have seen Sammy on the Best Of All Worlds Tour last week which was AMAZING and made some special songs even more special for me now. Truly in my #10 favorite bands of all time man. #12 - VH III: Never need to hear it again, like ever... the songs are too long, seem to have little direction, and Gary didn't fit with the group in my opinion. #11 - OU812: Never been a fan of this one, I enioy some songs such as Sucker in a 3 Piece, Source of Infection, and A.F.U., Finish What Ya Started as well. But the mix in general isn't my thing and it just seems flat. #10 - A Different Kind of Truth: Once again a great album, despite Eddie's guitar and the Alex going crazy on the drums, Dave's vocals were already going out, and it just feels as incomplete without Mikey's vocals / screams. #9 - Balance: I really enjoy this album, it's heavy and Grungy for Van Halen. Seventh Seal is heavy, Big Fat Money sounds like an oldschool DLR Van Halen track, Can't Stop Lovin' You, while cheesy is fun and something for the ladies lol. #8 - 1984: Contrary to your views, this is a hits album for me, the deep cuts just don't do it for some reason in my opinion. Yes they're all classic Van Halen, and great when I'm on a Van Halen kick, but I've found when I go for this album, I just want Panama, Hot For Teacher, and Jump and the rest is just "enjoyable"... Maybe that's because I haven't worn them out yet though haha. #7 - Women and Children First: This album is definitely where the heavier side of Van Halen came in. Romeo Delight, Everybody Wants Some!, And The Cradle Will Rock are amazing; however, Toro Toro! and Loss of Control just don't do it for me. - Going forward these are all interchangeable depending on the month haha! #6 - Van Halen II: What used to be my favorite, I've since soured on just a little, maybe I just overplayed it... D.O.A., Women In Love, Light Up The Sky, Somebody Get Me a Doctor, holy crap the whole album is outstanding, I just overplayed it most likely. #5 - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge: Coming back to real drums on this one, thank god, there's a real kick on this again, it's heavy, it's rockin', it's Van Halen baby. Judgement Day, The Dream is Over, Top of the World, Pleasure Dome... this has been spinning the most lately in my household. #4 - Diver Down: Strange one here, but I love this album so much, the vibe, the mix and production, the tracklist. It's just a very fun album, it's like a summer album if that makes sense. Where Have All The Good Times Gone, Pretty Woman, Full Bug, man it's fun. Love Happy Trails as a closer as well. #3 - Fair Warning: Unchained and Sinner's Swing, need we say more? Well yes, the bass and guitar tone on this thing are absolutely brutal. Mean Street, Dirty Movies, Hear About it Later... man cannot go wrong. #2 - 5150: Since the remix came out last year, I've been in love with this one. Love the intro to Good Enough, yeah it's cheesy but Dave was always cheesy so it fits for me. The Bass sound is killer, Eddie was being so innovative with the Synthwork and Guitars as always, Mikey and Sammy's voices worked very well together. Only thing that could make this better would be if Alex dropped the drum pads for REAL drums. But 5150, Dreams, and Best of Both Worlds are favorite of mine, not just from the album but all time. #1 - Van Halen I: It just has to be for me, Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, You Really Got Me, Atomic Punk, could go on with all the songs... it's perfect! Wanted to add this as I love the band so much, top #10 songs in no real order: Unchained 5150 The Dream is Over Best of Both Worlds Runaround Top of the World Runnin' with the Devil Humans Being Sinner's Swing Panama If ya read this essay, thanks brother haha, very much appreciated :)
Such a great comment, I read it over 3 times lol, thanks for taking the time to type all that out! So cool you got to see the show, Sammy is ageless! R.I.P. EVH 🤘
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 thank you mate, highly appreciated! Always happy to share my opinions in relation to music, especially when they're so drastically different from others' haha As for Sammy, yeah he truly is ageless, he sounds as good as ever in my opinion, Mikey too, he still has that high note, and then Satch and Jason were phenomenal on the guitar and kit respectively. Only been to three shows technically so far... Metallica (did both nights), Garth Brooks and now Sammy haha, don't think I have a favorite honestly, they all blew it out the water with how good they were!
The Legacy is flawless!
@@rjg2112 It’s truly my favourite thrash metal album of all time! I NEVER get tired of listening to it 🤘 Cheers Raymond
Love the saint!!
They just announced today that La Raza & Revelation are getting reissued on vinyl August 9 via Metal Blade! You can never have too much Saint in your collection ha ha! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 yeah brother , good stuff .... good ranking 👏
Man I really dig Exodus, glad to see a truly great live album from Exodus finally. Really want to see them on the current tour, coming 45 minutes my place for 41.50 USD only. Trying to get my father to go but man we're going to a ton already and at this point, getting more time off is a bit of a deal breaker for us, maybe... If you've ever seen Exodus live, do you think it's worth it?
Like I say you have to pick your battles lol. For me shows ALWAYS involve travel, at least 2-5 hours by car or the bigger shows I’d have to fly to Edmonton or Calgary. I don’t go to many these days, mostly I just don’t have the time. I’ve seen Exodus 2 times, 2004 & 2010, both times the crushed! Let me know if you end up going & if it was awesome 🤘
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 fair enough, totally feel you with the travel. Got a few shows already lined up that are roughly 2-4 hours depending on traffic, so I was very surprised to see Exodus play a small venue "close" by lol. That's really cool that you've seen them both with Zetro and Rob, both are great singers and somehow fit the band so well. Definitely will let ya know how it goes if I end up getting some tickets!
Definitely agree with you about Technical Ecstasy, it's actually a very pleasant listen... the remix on the deluxe box set makes it even better in my opinion. My two favorites are: Paranoid - Despite many of the songs being so overplayed in my youth, I still love the title track, Iron Man, War Pigs, etcetera (I always forget how good the latter half of Iron Man is, the solo is great) Electric Funeral is also a favorite of mine Love the mix as well, and it's a perfect length album, I like my albums shorter, 30-40 minutes. Sabotage - this is what got me into Sabbath, I'd heard Hole in the Sky from Pantera, and Symptom of the Universe from Metallica's little mid concert jams in the 90's. Those tracks are heavy as all hell... Megalomania is my all-time favorite Sabbath song, definitely their magnum opus song in my opinion. Thrill of it All and The Writ too? Phenomenal, something about the mixing and production, Ozzy's vocals on this, all of it makes a perfect album in my eyes. Glad to see we were on the same page about Sabotage, seems I'm always seeing people put it lower for some reason... but hey memusic is subjective, that's what makes it fun haha.
Strangers in the night, Tokyo takes, double live gonzo, kiss alive, if you want blood, you get what you play for, song remains the same, all the worlds a stage, live sentence, made in Japan
Very cool that you put "Tyr" up pretty high. I m a little younger than you and discovered Sabbath thru this album, and love it til this day. Don t really understand why it kinda gets dismissed sometimes. I think it s a killer!
Everybody’s younger than me 😂 Well that’s a good album to get into Black Sabbath on, it’s fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, always appreciated 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Well I was born in 1975. So, yes. Just a little younger. Enjoyed the Video. Keep em coming! Have you heard the Anno Domini Box Set yet? I got it a couple of weeks ago, and I think they did a great job with the remasters and the remix of Forbidden. Cheers from Munich, Germany!

@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Ah! I see...Gonna check it out
I used to love the live albums in my collection but i'm not so fussed at all now. Much prefer watching dvds/blurays. Totally gutted when i found out that two of the tracks on the UFO - strangers in the night 'live' album were recorded 'live' in the studio and not at a concert and what's more, they released the two mixes (without the crowd) as a 10" RSD release. LOL. The world needs a re-release of the W.A.S.P. - Live At The Lyceum, London video on dvd/bluray, WITHOUT the garbage 'americanised' crowd overdubbing they did to it. The crowd noises don't even match up with what's happening on screen. Hopefully they have all the footage somewhere with the original crowd noise but i doubt it very much after all this time
Great video Darcy,,have them all except for the Overkill, another one for the ever growing list of albums to check out..
@@Docker666 9/10 is pretty damn good lol. Yeah that Overkill is great, celebrating 25 & 30 years of those albums, wow time flies! Thanks for taking time to hang out with me 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Can’t find sound anywhere. I have the 2021 version, but would love the newer one. Bordello of Blood was on the 2021 version. Derp.
I’ve had both in my hand & I reassure you the newest Nuclear Blast reissue is much better! Hope you’re able to snag a copy. Thanks as always 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Hi, Darcy! You showed some real gems. I have that KD album in back - that DVD concert is great! I first heard the SCORPIONS in '82 like you but then I got to see them live in Indianapolis in 1984 on the Love at First Sting tour with Bon Jovi opening...lol. SCORPIONS were my first concert. I go back a ways. The live albums I was raised on: 1. KISS ALIVE 2 (btw - the studio songs on side 4 are GREAT! I thought "Rockin' in the USA" and "All American Man" were good enough to play live) 2. QUEEN LIVE KILLERS - I was raised listening to this favorite band of mine. 3. JUDAS PRIEST - Unleashed in the East - the first live album I owned. 4. IRON MAIDEN - Live After Death - the DVD concert still I think remains their best. 5. UFO - Strangers in the Night 6. Honorable Mention goes to... SAXON - Rock & Roll Gypsies
I would have put HEAVEN AND HELL and MOB RULES as my top 2 Sabbath albums, as well. Getting that Tony Martin box set has been the highlight of my year, so far. And being able to play HEADLESS CROSS whenever I want is making me love it more and more.
@@BrainPollution I’m with you, I just love the new Black Sabbath box set! Thanks for watching 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
For me, Balls to the Wall, Metal Heart and Russian Roulette (no particular order) are the trifecta Accept albums. Their live album Staying a Life is amazing too.
Staying A Life is my favourite live album of all time! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
the savatage album called final bell in japan, different cover 😎👍✌️
black out my favourite scorps album.
Blackout is definitely my favourite from the 80s, no bad tracks on that one! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
In no particular order, b.sabbath -live from Hammersmith oden, rainbow-live in Munich, megadeth-live in Buenos Aries. Metallica live shit/Seattle, motörhead-stage fright, nightwish-showtime/storytime, overkill-wrecking everything, whitesnake- live In the heart/city, iron maiden- rock in Rio, judas priest- unleashed in the east
That Overkill album is fantastic. Always been a fan of live albums but haven't spun any in a long time - I must rectify that. Priest Live is my favourite JP live album. it captures them perfectly!
I remember you saying how much you love Priest Live! Thats why we need you back making videos, not only do we miss you, it helps us be reminded of all great music you got us on! Hope you’re having relax time with you’re family 🤘 Cheers brother
Wasp for the win 🙌
You just can’t beat ‘84 to ‘89 W.A.S.P. can you! Finally cooling off here a bit 🍻 Cheers from the lake version of Planet6Strings :))
Never got into them as I hate the tone of the singer, what a cracking album sounds better than most studio versions, the drums sound class. Listened to it all the way through on a car journey 💪🏼
My old band ( KING LOUIS ) Opened for SAXON on the last part of the UK tour of 1921 or 92. Ended up at the Marquee cLUB London. nice guys. Si.
1. Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous 2. UFO - Stranger's in the Night 3. Saxon - The Eagle has Landed 4. Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes 5. Iron Maiden - Live After Death 🤘 from 🇦🇺
All great choices, 4/5 of those feature in my Part 1. Thanks as always 🤘 Have a great weekend Jeff :))
@darcysixstringsninelives3493 my top 2 choices will always be my favourite live albums. I think they are outstanding because they were recorded at the peak of the bands careers when they were super tight & firing on all 8 cylinders. They are essential albums that surpass their studio outputs. I totally agree with most of your choices Mate. 👍
Hi Darcy, another great video, I’ll have to go back and listen to the Scorpions live album again, forgot how much I like it. Your Metallica shirt reminds me how much I loved their shirts back in the day. My favorite that I owned were the Shortest Straw with “In vertigo you will be” on back and white one that Lars wore in the One video with the album covers on the back. And hey, the Rough Riders are off to a great start! Cheers.
I got that shirt at the 2019 show in Saskatoon, that’s the last time I saw them live! My oldest son is going to see them this Sunday in Madrid, Spain. He asked me if I wanted him to pick me up a T-shirt, I said no Metallica’s got enough of my money already lol. Tough test for the Riders tomorrow! Thanks as always 🤘 Have a great weekend :))
The Murderess Metal Road Show by Lizzy Borden
I’m hoping Metal Blade reissues it again, I NEED it in the collection lol. Thanks as always 🤘 Have a great weekend Matt
My ten all-time favorite Live albums from my formative years: Live After Death~Iron Maiden Unleashed in the East~Judas Priest Alive II~Kiss World Wide Live~Scorpions Speak of the Devil~Ozzy Strangers in the Night~UFO Live and Dangerous~Thin Lizzy Exit Stage Left~Rush One More From the Road~Lynryd Skynyrd Double Live Gonzo~Ted Nugent Honorable Mention: Live Bootleg~Aerosmith I could easily come up with another 15 or 20 that have been released in the years since but, I'll save that for another day ;^)
Cris recorded two more albums after Gutter Ballet. Streets and Edge of Thorns. He was killed in a car accident six months after Edge of Thorns was released. Great live album from one of the most original metal guitarists to grace the stage! Alive II is still one of my favorite live albums ever.
Yeah I don’t know what the hell I was talking about because I know that story inside and out! Criss is one of my favourite guitar players of all time, his guitar tone and the way he played was truly amazing!
Kreator all the way for me.....been into them since they started.....Sodom were a bit of a joke when they first started, but did improve a lot....but for me, Kreator have the better songs and are more competent musicians
I have to check out some of the live albums you mentioned (especially the Rush ones you mentioned). Some others that I like Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous Guns N Roses - Live era 87-93 AC/DC - live, if you want blood you’ve got it Metallica - S and M Motorhead - no sleep till hammersmith Pantera - live 101 proof Slayer - decade of decadence Those are some I can think of off the top of my head.
Wow those are some killer albums! That Rush album is underrated! You know I love that KISS Alive 2! WASP is awesome! Still need that Dokken, Savatage and Overkill live albums! Great Great stuff Darcy!🤘
You know I’m here to help you spend money right 😂 Get them on your pick up list G :))
Just saw Scorpions in Vegas in April and they're still amazing!!!!
They're playing Wacken this year, hopefully we will get a live feed from their set
agreed with ur selection… \m/… although i hvn’t had Rush’s a show of hands & Savatage’s ghost in the ruins (a tribute to Criss Oliva) yet… love both of these bands.. it was on my list especially Savatage… just curious abt Dokken’s beast from the east… how come they never shoot any video during the tour.. i mean it’s Dokken… they were at the top of their game at that time.. look at the Scorpions… world wide live was recorded n filmed… although Scorpions was bigger than Dokken IMO.. bt it’s Don & George… they ruled during that time… my fave live albums are.. 1)Metallica - live shit: binge & purge… 2)Slayer - decade of aggression 3)Judas Priest - priest live 4)Iron Maiden - live after death 5)Iron Maiden - beast over hammersmith 6)Def Leppard - live LA forum 1983 7)Therion - live gothic 8)Soilwork - live in the heart of helsinki 9)Grave Digger - 25 to live 10)Incantation - blasphemy in brazil
Darcy, If you have never listened to Halford - Live Insurrection from the year 2000… go grab it immediately! Perhaps my favorite live record ever, including the Judas Priest classics.
The only live Halford I have is a dvd/cd Resurrection World Tour Live At Rock In Rio III, awesome show! I’ll be on the lookout for the one you mentioned. Thanks for watching and thanks for the recommendation 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Alive II is near the top of my Kiss ranking, Ace’s solo in Shock me is just fantastic. I’ve always preferred Slayer’s Decade of Aggression over Live Undead. Great stuff as always buddy!🤘
Hi Darcy!!! cool live stuff.... unfortunately in this days you don't get a lot of good live recordings maybe the "new" Exodus?? and hard to believe the other big three thrash bands don't have a "great" live album. I do agree with you on "Beast Over Hammersmith" it's an awesome prerfomance, the setlist and listening Bruce live for the first time is a killer experience.... to me one great live recording is Helloween's live Ep "Live in the UK" with a very young Kiske on vocals and singing Keeper's songs and previous stuff. cheers and be well
When i saw Judas Priest during the Firepower tour they opened for Deep Purple. Now, i get it, but it really should have been the other way around.
WASP, Slayer and Live After Death are in my top 5 and like you I don’t actively collect and hunt down live albums but I’ll grab something from some of my favourite bands 🤘
Cool video , wasp live in the raw is my favorite live album ever , incredible album , and I was at that slayer show that was recorded in San Bernardino , the San Bernardino side of decade of aggression
1. Slayer - Decade Of Aggression (I have the version with two bonus tracks - Skeletons Of Society and At Dawn They Sleep.) 2. Overkill - Wrecking Your Neck 3. Overkill - Wrecking Everything 4. Morbid Angel - Entangled In Chaos 5. Manilla Road - Roadkill 6. Cannibal Corpse - Live Cannibalism 7. Blue Oyster Cult - On Your Feet Or On Your Knees 8. Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East 9. Dio - Inferno : The Last In Live 10. Rush - All The World's A Stage
What a great list.. I could not agree more about a show of hands and it being the best time in the band for Ged’s vocals. The last of 3 flawless live releases from them, untouchable. Love the mention of overkill, you got me that cd/blueray set and it’s incredible, the slayer and dokken both equally end the best era of both bands. And the priest , that is my fav live priest record. And of course maiden, young aggressive and Bruce sounded unreal. What a list brother.. stay heavy and go spin that KD in the background.🤟🤟
Have you seen W.A.S.P lately? They are my second favorite band but I've been disappointed both times I've seen them live. I never got to see them in their heyday though. First time was when they were touring for The Neon God. Don't remember which one
No I only saw them in 1984 & 1986, to be honest I have no desire to see them these days. There’s only a handful of older bands that I would care to see live these days. I’ll hang onto my memories lol 🤘 Thank for watching :))
I saw Slayer on the "Decade..." tour. They announced an aditional show just one week before in my area. Before the internet the news didn´t spread so I saw them in front of 400, maybe 500 people. That was probably my fave concert ever out of the hundreds I´ve seen over the decades. One of my favourite live albums is still "Tokyo Tales" by Blind Guardian. Recorded in 1992 on the "Somwhere far Beyond" tour. It´s a raw, stipped back version of the band without the bombast, I love it!
Rush all the worlds a stage. Ufo stranger's in the night. 3rd. Ac dc if you want blood. Live evil black sabbath. 😊😊
Testament- Live at the Fillmore 1995 Exodus- Another Lesson in Violence 1997 Halford- Live Resurrection 2000
Wow this list just keeps getting better! Thanks for sharing 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Great choice on Savatage! Priest Live and Maiden's Live After Death will always be special to me. First albums I bought from both bands. (Of course, then I went back and picked up their entire catalogs!). I remember getting them on cassette the same day at the local mall's record store. Actual music stores back then lol! They surprisingly had a TV commercial which drew me to Priest Live. My brother also kept stealing the Maiden tape. We wore out multiple copies. Great memories!
Sometimes a live album is a good introduction to a band I know decade of aggression was mine with slayer while I'm not the biggest live album person I do enjoy them but it has to be a 2cd one these days great video darcy also have you done an annihilator album ranking yet? I have the 1st two albums and have recently picked up a couple of the latter era ones really enjoying their music thanks as always!
You’re right, a live album is definitely a good introduction to a band. No I haven’t done an Annihilator ranking yet, key word here is yet lol, it’s on my to do list! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Robert
Ufo - Strangers in the Night Savatage - Ghost in the Ruins Scorpions- Tokyo Tapes Saxon - The Eagle has landed Rush - Exit Left Stage Blackfoot - Highway Song live Shaman - Ritual live Gary Moore- We want Moore Volbeat - Lets boogie Riot V - Live in Japan Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East
Great list 🤘 thanks for sharing! I think the first 3 live Rush albums are pure gold, such great musicians.
