Hmm.. the vibe of the thread has shifted from metal, that's for sure.



Yes, your right and I may be partially responsible. Let me fix that. I'd love to know if there are any forgotten gem CDs out there from these guys that are worth the upgrade to CD or even DVD from a sound sound quality perspective. I find sometimes I buy new CDs of older metal and the sound is aweful. (Something to be said of the memory of sound from an 8 track and cheap 8" speakers in a Chevette that could barely move without losing a part or two.)

Let's see, back to my darker side.....
Amthrax Dio Holloween Motorhead Slayer Y&T
W.A.S.P. Pantera
and of course Black Sabbath & Iron Maiden
others?

Ya admittedly still kind of mainstream for some, but you couldn't get the heavier or obscure stuff in my little province of PEI when I was a kid.

Also, anyone remember a song "Sign of the Hammer" from a lesser know, very heavy metal band. A childhood memory lost to cassettes and comics going into the trash before thinking...

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
