yeah, the album version of the Abacab song is the best!!

I hope you’ll feel better soon, Scott. Thank you for the video. God first.

KILLER VIDEO!!!!💕🙏👊 CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT!😊 CHEERS!🍻

Hi Scott!!! i remember you talking about Ben's channel a long time ago..... pretty VCLT and great Genesis addition to the collection that's a very flimpsy russian jacket and more cool Status Quo too. cheers and be well

Ben is such a great guy. I was always amazed with his Quo collection and miss watching videos from him. Killer vclt😀🤘

Great video as usual. Status quo - Down Down. It says SGAE on the record. That means Spain. Like Gema is Germany, Stemra is Holland, NCB is Scandinavia, Biem is UK, Sacem is France. And so on. A fast way to se the pressing. Greetings from Sweden

GENESIS is Bulgarian press. Balkaton ( Bulgarian label ). ;)

Nice seeing that Gillian single which i have that.

I have that Iron Fist single, bought it when it came out here in the UK and Hot Rockin, but not the picture sleeve. Nice Quo singles, have most of their classic singles. Railroad was only released as a single in Germany I believe. Never seen a copy til you just showed it.

THHHHHHHHHHE MAILLLLL!!!!!!!!! [No one around, I was able to YELL it.]. Have never heard Gillan's band do Smoke on the Water. Will have to check for it on You Tube. Great photo on the Saxon. Wish Hot Rockin' had been played on radio at the time. The front photo of the Triumph would make a great shirt/poster. So glad I saw Quo a few years ago, outdoors on a nice day. They were excellent.

🤘😝🤘

I love both, but there is a reason Maiden is still selling out stadiums all over the world till this day. Name a time Priest was doing that on their own headlining tour. Last time priest came through, it was in a 8,000 capacity venue.

Within the fire says 2016?

Where is Rob? I think that was his name, the bald guy

I’ve had that Tactics boxset for years. Great choice, Scott! I would love to see The Master Plan on vinyl.

awesome collection Scott I just ordered the Cds i need to close out my Grave Digger collection and be caught up and a big thanks to professor Six Strings for sending me a couple CDs I needed thanks Brotha Darcy

Looking forward to this! A fine crew!! ❤

I just got Sacrificium from Randy...cool lp. That Scanner looks awesome,same with Ravage. I have Savage Wizdoms first cd..awesome,didn't know they had any more out..I gotta get me some more Riot and Riot V...Evil Dead,another band I need to check out.....Ruthless,Skullovich,Atrophy and awesome picks for the Top 5....great video as always dude.

Thank you for the Motivik recommendation, been jamming it nonstop.

Great show. Clayton Bigsby😂

Enjoyed your content & posted a message without a reply mate, should I say fuck it you’re not worth subscribing to ?

I have that Forced Entry on cassette.

In the UK we used the term Heavy Rock in the late 70s early 80s, it was magazines like Sounds and Kerrang that popularised the term Heavy Metal in the UK. We never had any is it hard rock is it metal arguments.

Hello from Australia. I was wearing my old Break the curse t-shirt 2 days ago. Old fan. Their self-titled album is still one of my favorite death metal albums

Stone is fucking badass. Roope Latvala from Children of Bodom was the guitarist.

Dude, I thought you was a Christian musician? Your channel covers more secular music by far than Christian music. Christian music needs more coverage. Secular music gets enough coverage from everywhere that we don’t need the Christians contributing to it also. Stick to Christian music only because there’s so much out there that needs exposure. I’m sure the Christian bands will appreciate it. You have a platform to use to shine a light on The fruits of their labor, be the church. God bless and Metal on…in Jesus’ name!

Great show, guys! Golden Earring's Live LP from '77 displays their metal overtures. I'm not sure if you guys mentioned G.F.R., but Grand Funk was definitely proto-metal.

Did you hear the new Accu§er and Morbid Saint? Swallowed by Hell was an amazing comeback, seriously good thrash.

Attilla is a great Mandator jam

Great list Scott

A lot of great picks! A few I need to look into.

Hi Scott, Happy New Year. ''Finished with the dogs'' is among my GT topten, and I would even add Holy Moses to the Big GT group. with the inclusion of Deathrow (but that's an old discussion). Again, thanks for reminding about that 2nd Hades album and also School of Violence's, another two albums I played on the airwaves around Aveiro (Nth PT) in the 2nd half of the 80s. Hades's record before Alan Tecchio left temporarily for Watchtower, is a masterpiece of the East Coast Thrash Sound, and a similar praise goes for SoV, who always made think of my favourite ECTS/HC luminaries, as in Carnivore and Whiplash. We all know that if 86 and 87 have been absolute record collecting rollercoasters, it's not the case that that 88 was a lesser one. So, this is not nostalgia - it's giving the art object its due recognition and just not let it mould in the cellar, or forget it under the spell of non-stop band-consuming, festival-going and gig-attending life. Most of those albums, when you listen to them now, have grown in distinct quality, and they are, by all means, historical Metal artifacts.

🤘🤠🤘

Lester Bangs of CREEM magazine used it first because of STEPPENWOLF using the line " Heavy Metal thunder. Earlier this music was called Acid Rock.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANCE!!!🎼🎶👊🤘💀🥁🎸🙏💕

Loved this topic. Was a very fun listen. Thanks for doing it.

Fantastic Reviews Scott! like always gonna be checking out new bands and titles!

Killer list Scott! So many great albums here and a bunch for me to get, really cool seeing Ace and Hall Aflame , i forgot they put that out, I’m going to pick it up this week! Great job brother 👍🤘🤘

Just purchased the Cold Steel "Freakboy"......I was not disappointed!

For me the first Metal album was Judas Priest "Sad Wings Of Destiny" in 1976. Before that it was blues based heavy rock. This is my opinion folks.

Talking about Exodus , Pleasures of the Flesh is infinetely superior to Bonded by Blood , that's a fact for me .

Please Scott, can you help me solve the mystery of LJ aka Biocyte1 ? What happened to him?

Hey Scott , what about a short list of "definite Power / Thrash" albums ? For me , the best examples on this sound are Spreading the Disease , Taking Over and Ride the Lightning ...

Some 70s bands not mentioned: April Wine, Cactus, Captain Beyond, Tygers of Pan Tang, and Bow Wow \m/

Great Video.... lots of stuff to discover for me.... Here are some of the Albums that I played a lot in 2024: Hiraes - Dormant Saxon . Hell, Fire and Damnation Opeth . The Last Will and Testament Borknagar - Fall The Crown - Crown of Thorns Dark Tranquility - Endtime Signals and of course Judas Priest.... Invincible Shield may be my Album of the Year (with Borknagar following very close behind).

Within The Fire is excellent. I think it was a 2016 release though.

Awesome stuff brother scott

Hi! if you liked the new Purple album, check out Magnum's "here Comes the Rain", fantastic Hard Rock/Classic Rock. Thanks and great 2025! 🍺🤘

Hi Scott!!! Yeah, what an awesome year in metal/rock/music...... a cool mix of classic bands and newer and lesser known bands too. Some are kind of new to me or at least i have not heard yet, taking notes to listen to a couple. cheers and be well

G’day from DownUnder mate, I’ve been a lifelong traditional Metal fan & I’m happy your channel came across my feed. I used to host a metal show in Melbourne Australia & loved it. Keep up the great work & Keep it True 🍻👍🤘
