what are you listening to this week?

[PrimalScream91]

I've not listened to many of their B-Sides, I should probably do that!

[MarshallJMP]

There's a CD with all the B sides on it.

Purple - Come Taste The Band, some nice bass lines I can practice to/with, and great record..

I'm so excited to see them in Wacken this year! This will be totally awesome :metal:

Besides the "usual old stuff", like Maiden, Whitesnake, Yngwie and so on I also love the modern music.

Atm I'm hearing a lot of "Avatar". I like the pretty freaky use of the guitars  :))

This past week, I've been breaking out my old Liquid Tension Experiment CD's, and I've been alternating between that and Lynch Mob REvolution, and Red Dragon Cartel, and KXM.

   I know, it's been a weird week.

The first two albums are always my Fav's but I guess I've played them to death over the last 20 years so I'm not listened to them as much.

I love

Somewhere in Time
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

those albums go into a new dimension for me.

and I'm only warming to Piece of mind now.  The lyrics put me off that album for a long, long time.  I also like No Prayer for the Dying, and even the X Factor album but that's it really.

Also Primal, if you like Di Anno be sure to check  out these three albums as they are the best work he ever did

Paul Di' Annos Battlezone:
Fighting Back
Children of Madness

Killers:
Murder One


Anything else he did after those albums are crimes against music!  Utterly awful shit lol  However those three albums and the first two Iron Maiden albums are enough to make me a Di Anno fan.

Met him once, he was a nice guy to me although he has a bad rep BIG TIME.

Listening to this album a lot this week before the mini tour begins for me over the weekend!

the album is not up in it's entirety but here is a  song from it anyways.

@rabidgerry

Not sure why but I've never given Somewhere in Time a fair shake. Maybe I should go back and listen to it again. I'll definitely check out Battlezone and Killers though!

[rabidgerry]

do it man, hopefully you enjoy it as much as I enjoy it!  I dig the production and the songs and all that!  Amazing artwork also!

Yes Battlezone, those albums only and Killers, that one album.  Anything else will make you wish you were deaf.

[rabidgerry]

More metal as usual.  Getting boring now aren't i?  :lol:

I'd listen to modern music if I thought it was any good  :facepalm:

I'd listen to modern music if I thought it was any good  :facepalm:

   Isn't that one of the reasons we write and record our own music?

[rabidgerry]

yes it is  :)

You know I formed my band back in the day because i felt disillusioned at my local music scene and I wanted to play the style of music I liked so you are dead right :thumb-up:

[Harley Hexxe]

   Exactly the way I felt in the early 90's. I was never a fan of Nirvana, or any of the 'Grunge' bands that followed with the exception of Alice In Chains. I had written songs on and off since the 70's, but by that time, since I didn't care for what I was hearing on the airwaves, I decided to form Band of Heathens, which snubbed everyone else and played what ever we wanted to. Our style was a mixture of 70's and 80's style with an experimental flair, and a bit more grit.
   We had a lot of fun and had some great songs together which went over pretty damned good in the local scene at the time, (much to my surprise).
   It's the moments of disgust we feel at our peers that prompts us to be ourselves more outwardly :thumb-up:
