Quoted from rotordave:The best band (Thin Lizzy) nobody has really heard of. Except for Boys are back in Town
RD - Have you ever listened to LIVE LIFE by Lizzy? If not give it a try! I feel it's one of the best live albums they put out but it went to the cutout section quickly when it was released due to the label over producing the album.
Any love for Trouble (1987)?
and Eric Wagner (singer for Trouble) just released this late last year (2017).....
Quoted from meSz:Any love for Trouble (1987)?
Yes I had the albums Psalm 9 and The Skull. They sounded like Black Sabbath.
Quoted from meSz:RD - Have you ever listened to LIVE LIFE by Lizzy? If not give it a try! I feel it's one of the best live albums
Yes sir! I think it’s the best of all the Lizzy albums. Tied with Live and Dangerous.
John Sykes cranks the band to a much heavier sound on Live Life ... Lizzy had to compete with the NWOBHM.
That was always Lizzys issue ... the production on the studio albums was dull and shithouse, it’s really only on the live albums where the songs come to life ...

Quoted from rotordave:I’ve got the first 8 albums, but sort of fell off the train after that. I had to look up Unleash the Beast to see what it was.
Back in the 80s Saxon were one of the biggest bands of the NWOBHM. They never really caught on outside of Europe though.
They played at Wacken last year. And they’re down to support Priest on their upcoming US tour.

Tribute song by them for Motörhead. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/saxon-releases-lyric-video-for-they-played-rock-and-roll-song-written-about-motorhead/
Quoted from woz:For your Friday evening listening pleasure I present Badlands with Jake E Lee...
» YouTube video
Love Badlands. Jake E Lee is such a good guitar player, and Ray Gillan belts out the vocals. Eric Singer on drums too.
Great heavy blues/rock.

Sana'a
One band I really like, Underoath.
They’re a Christian metalcore band out of Florida .. they had some success in the late 2000s, then split in 2013 .. evidently they got back together again in 2015 but I haven’t seen a new album yet.
They go pretty hard, but there’s a good sense of melody behind it all.
I have the CDs in high rotation in the pinball room. As cycochris will attest to when he rang me the other day and couldn’t hear me over the Underoath racket lolll

Quoted from Hazoff:I'm not a big fan of this band but when they get it right its great, heavy stuff.

This band is worthless and will never be remembered, in my top three I can’t stand new trendy stuff.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:This band is worthless and will never be remembered, in my top three I can’t stand new trendy stuff.
Korn is hardly new and trendy .. they’ve been around since 1993. That’s 25 years ...
I like their stuff, the 7 string guitars really give you a punch in the nuts! Some killer riffs in there.
I haven’t got the newer albums, so don’t know much about that. But I have seen the live show, and they’re still out there performing to huge crowds around the world.
If you like a good read, Brian “Head” Welch’s book about finding god is a really good read. He (and the rest of the band) were completely off the rails doing drugs and partying 24/7, and one day he begged god to save him from his imminent death. He reckons god came to him (maybe it was the drugs ..) and told him to quit the band. So he did. Just walked out in 2005. In 2013 he reunited with the cleaned up band and stays there to this day.
Love them or hate them, Korn redefined the heavy sound with the 7 string guitars and downtuning.

I can’t argue that but I can’t stand them, to me when they started is when metal died.

Quoted from Jackontherocks:I can’t argue that but I can’t stand them, to me when they started is when metal died.
Metal died a few years earlier when Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit hit the scene.
Suddenly, all those power ballads by the **metal** bands sounded like gay anthems.
Slaughter - Fly to the angels
Kix - Loco Emotion
White Lion - When The Children Cry
Trixter - Easy Come Easy Go
Ratt - Way Cool Jr
Areosmith - Angel
That was probably the saddest time in music history, men dressed as women, singing ballads with a gated snare drum.

True ... but they were laughing all the way to the bank. 
It’s easy to look back at certain eras and have a laugh ... what about 70s disco? Huge collars, huge hairdos, bell bottoms, light up dance floors ...

Disco was great music to dance, do some blow, and get blown.
If I tried to get blown to Winger, I'd loose my erection and my balls would retract.

Dunno ... I wasn’t around LA in the late 80s but I understand Winger BJs were pretty popular ...

Ballads is what got their music on the radio. Ratt was one of the best, KIX was/is still a great live band, and Slaughter's first album (Vinnie Vincent Invasion) will blow your ear drums out. Was their shitty music being made? Absolutely, but when hair metal was good, it was really good. Extreme, Dokken, Queensryche, Whitesnake (with Sykes), Alice had "Constrictor" and "Raise your First"....the list goes on and on. Was a great time to grow up.
Quoted from Methos:(Vinnie Vincent Invasion) will blow your ear drums out.
Blow your eardrums out with high frequencies.
I saw them open for Alice Cooper and that singer's five note range falsetto literally made me chew up a napkin and plug my poor ears.
I'm glad I did, because I can still hear today.
I've just recently gotten back into 80's hairbband metal. One band that I overlooked for quite a while is Damn Yankees. Both of their albums are fantastic and their live performances on YouTube are great too. Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw together were awesome. Ted Nugent as your lead guitar isn't too bad either.
