Re: The Official Heavy Metal Thread
Not on an ego trip (although I play guitar lol)... but thought I'd share another old band vid with ya. Three songs in this vid: Electric Eye (Priest), Flight of Icarus (Maiden) and Heaven and Hell (Sabbath). Back in those days (recorded Dec. 1992) bands had demo tapes to give to bar owners for possible gigs. We did a Demo Video and gave that to bar owners with the adage of "hear and see us". Not sure why b/c we were ugly lol. We also had a buddy who worked for a video companythat did local commercials and stuff. He filmed and added some "special effects" that were cool for the time. This video shows both guitar players using Kramer guitars (when it was cool to have, Eddie VH endorsed). I am the one with the white Kramer Focus 5000 that is shaped kind of like a 4-pointed star and play rhythm guitar. The shape of that guitar was used for the "K" in the band's name, Absolut Rukus, for our logo. Boy, we thought we were cool. All in the pursuit of females of course... :)

I was not aware of that gilpdawg. I do have the Eddie Archives box set. And those singles albums I mentioned always had a cover song on the B side (and one of the main reasons I bought the singles).
Re: The Official Heavy Metal Thread

With today being MARCH 15... who is going to post the "Ides of March / Wrathchild" video? I cannot do it from work (youtube blockage!). Wrathchild is one of my fav IM songs (along with numerous others lol). That bass line that opens the song makes my head hurt in a good way.

Happy to oblige.
Brings back memories of Rock 95, a former station in my hometown.

Both very solid newer bands.
Re: The Official Heavy Metal Thread
Has anybody gone to the Anthrax, Exodus, Metal Alliance tour? I assume that Anthrax is the headliner, but just want to confirm it. Seeing them Saturday night at the Fillmore in Detroit.

Re: The Official Heavy Metal Thread
New Black Sabbath! It's better than I expected, but I guess I should have expected it to be good, because Iommi is God.

Re: The Official Heavy Metal Thread
I'm going to Nashville for Maiden too. The wife has requested copious amounts of booze before hand in order to 'tolerate' Bruce Dickinson.
Setlist for the tour is great though so I'm really excited.
