Not mine, friend sent me a pic of his Mayhem collection. Worthy of posting.

That's awesome. Has he taken sides and cursed Varg for eternity though?

Hope he has the arms to pull of the sleeveless shirt look

SW/Archgoat split. Been a SW fan since S&H. Odd band - don't bring anything new to the table but when that short fat Finn is on he nails it. For those who don't have the aforementioned split, SW's sound is about as big as it gets for that style of BM and it works really well for me.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Looking forward to it. Thought the last one save for the CT cover was no good though. These guys actually like the music they are taking the piss out of and are talented. Could give two hoots if the irony crowd and the I liked **** rock crowd in the 80s latch on. Hope they make as much coin as possible off those types.

Yes he has.

Zero chance of that. Spindle arms.

SW disc is great on this. The evil intro is perfect, and I love the closing 2 minutes or so on ‘Wolves of Blood and Iron’. Also the 30 second piano outro on the final track. Fat Finn indeed.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Geez I hope that's the worst track on it.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Kriegsmaschine - A.

 

[Dylan8]

Listening to the new Pelican. It's good.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Listening to the new Pelican. It's good.

I've heard only positive reviews. I'll give it a listen today

 

[Pacman82]

A true parody of an 80's Glam Metal band, in that they start to suck after about 10 years.

On a better note, I recently heard MOTLEY CRUE's New Tattoo [2000], it's pretty good, esp compared to what they made in the decades prior & after.

Yeah agree but on New Tattoo, solid album. Underrated for sure.

I knew you'd be all over it, any other good Glam Metal releases from around that era..?

Yeah I've only seen that new SP single too, I'll surely check out the album!

Maybe not so many circa 2000 (LA Guns' "Wake the Dead" 2002 is fantastic); off the top of my head I'd certainly recommend the following:

Crashdiet (new album due September)
Generation Wild (2010) - pure Crue worship, a lot like New Tattoo in sound.
Rest in Sleaze (2005) - classic debut with the classic song "Miracle". RIP Dave Lepard.

Crazy Lixx
Riot Avenue (2012)
Forever Wild (2019)

Hardcore Superstar
Dreamin’ in a Casket (2007) - hands down one of the best sleaze/hair metal albums of all time.
Hardcore Superstar (2005)- "We Don't Celebrate Sundays"..great party anthem

Ratt
Detonator (1990) - overlooked gem of an album.
Infestation (2010) - one of the better 'reformation' comeback-type albums put-out)

Reckless Love
Animal Attraction (2010). Quality.

Saigon Kick
The Lizard (1992)

Spread Eagle
Self-Titled 1990 (these guys were actually from New York so they had a harder edge than some..)

Cheers, plenty there to look into
Of course I know Detonator haha.. Might knock the dust off Infestation though!

Never Neverland is classic.

Package through from Utopia. Idle Hands ep, new Hate and the Hail to England remix/remaster (keep an ear out for me on the eastern tonight - you'll be hearing this).

 

[Dee Snider]

New Obituary single goes ok.

 

[jooce8891]

I don't mind the "Lost in Vegas" guys. They do reaction videos to songs and about half of the songs they choose are metal. Its kinda cool to see their progression as they knew nothing about metal when they started and from listening to it for their channel they have grown to appreciate it. Most of their reactions are to more popular stuff as that is what people recommend but they have reacted to Mayhem, Candlemass, Death, Mercyful Fate, NeO etc. When i have nothing better to do i go to their videos.

EDIT: They went to a Mastodon/Primus gig and gave their thoughts on that which was kind of interesting.

hahaha lost in vegas, been watching them since they had about 10k subs first video i watched was their reaction to enter sandman a long, long time ago...

they seriously better bring manowar out sometime, wasnt old enough to see ross the boss last year?? it will probably sell out within a day i reckon...

 

[dwwaino]

Not sure how Manowar would go in Australia. I always imagined them as nothing but a stadium band and I struggle to see that working here.

 

[jooce8891]

yeah i agree, for Melbourne at least you'd expect it to be at festival hall but not sure they'd enjoy playing in front of 1.5k odd people, probably want more than that :/ hard to see it happening honestly...
