Old Skool metal mother******* thread!!!

[DarkSkies]

I seen Manowar 2 times at Lamour's in Brooklyn in 1983 or 1984. I love that song "Gloves of metal".

I also seen:
Celtic Frost
Mercyful Fate
King Dimond
Overkill
Accept
Metallica (my favorite band)
Anvil
exciter (I think, I don't remember. I was brain dead)
SOD
I will add more when I start remebering.

Bands I listen to that I didn't see live.:
Dark Angel
Slayer
Motor Head
venom
Anthrax
AC/DC (when I was in JHS this band was my favorite)
Many more I'll list them later.

Can't remember if I saw Manowar in Brooklyn or Jersey, only saw them live once, they were great!

Manowar...the distinction of being the loudest band at the time. I might have been at that L'Amours show, Vpass, what times back then! Ya put up some of the greatest bands of the era, V. Good taste in music!


The only criticism I have of Manowar is I thought Joey Demaio was a little too full of himself.

[DarkSkies]

Before there was Manowar...

Before there was metal....

When Sabbath and Zeppelin were the heaviest of the day...


"Very interesting. There was a NYC Punk band from the 70's called the Dictators, various members of this band subsequently ended up forming and joining 4 entirely different bands- Twisted Sister, Manowar, The Fleshtones and The Del Lords- You can see the dictators and the other offshoots on youtube. "

Man how I miss those CBGBs shows.





Dictators w/Joey Ramone, RIP Joey

Those were the days, great music, wild times. Thanks for the memories.

Dictators w/Joey Ramone, RIP Joey

Learn 3 chords and you could play every single Ramones song. I miss Joey too. Testament threw down down some good chit.

[Frankiesurf]

Holy crap did Chuck Billy get fat.

[dogfish]

^^ So did Metallica.That's why it's not a great thing to see these bands on the reunion trail. They should have a law that all heavy metal and rock stars self-destruct by the time they hit 35, like in Logan's Run.

I finally got a chance to listen to a CD Rip-plugger sent me over a month ago.

At the last song, Scott and R-P did a dedication on their Halloween show, "this goes out to Monty and Striperholic".

Very cool man, sorry it took so long for me to notice it. Thanks!

The video from when Iron Age played in NYC last June...

My normal fishing trip is leave the house at 11:30 at night, fish from 1:00 AM to 8:00 or 9:00 AM. About 30 minutes before I get to the area I fish I crank up a CD Rip-Plugger sent me. Gets the adrenalin going for the all nighter.
Thanks Rip-Plugger, the dedication is awesome!!!

First Snowfall

Tracks:9

1-Eastern winds mount the virgin winter[instrumental] 2-The first snowfall
3-what was and never shall be again
4-Banished from my eyes
5-Snowmelting Reqiuem
6-The storm before the calm
7-Provoker be hnted
8-Nightfalls promise
9-Footprints in the snow where the wanderer has been

[DarkSkies]
