Those were great days!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Never heard of that project from Vivian Campbell. I haven’t listened to any Black ‘N’ Blue for years, I remember loving the song Hold On To 18. Great commentary as usual 👊

[@metalmickey]

@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 No I'm not really familiar with BnB even but I'll live 😂

[@ClarkOVision]

What a giggle I just had when you mentioned Skid Marks…. Oh dear. That’s just bad… 😅😅

[@metalmickey]

@@ClarkOVision It's sort of strange looking back on these issues at times 😂

[@malcolmsmith5271]

Noticed an advert for ST Records in Dudley, that shop is still going to this very day!!

[@metalmickey]

@@malcolmsmith5271 Nice. Do you live in Dudley? I seen Testament in JBs in 2004

[@malcolmsmith5271]

@ No, not far away though, I’m in Stafford. I went to JB’s as well quite a few times back in the day, great little club but sadly no more.

[@cloudymildermetalmogul]

Typical 80s metal head chat... "Nice guitar, what made you buy that?", "Well the advert 'ad a bird w'er baps out"...

[@metalmickey]

@@cloudymildermetalmogul Yeah it's funny but you don't see much lad culture nowadays. It was ramped up a notch in the 90s and started to fade out in the mid 2000s I think

[@cloudymildermetalmogul]

@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine oh yeah totally ridiculous looking back at it.

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Mike!!! yeah, that was an ok issue, thought it was going to have more metal bands and not John Pharr or a Meatloaf..... yeah things have change the last 39 yrs. cheers

[@mendicantmedia]

haha that Beastie Boys ad was unexpected but I guess maybe their rockier singles were already out by then

[@wsmall7117]

That's the month and year I was born. 38 years and 2months go 🤘🏾

[@metalmickey]

@@wsmall7117 You're just a boy 😂

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Don’t let the name put you off, that English Dogs album is very decent 🤘pretty cool gatefold and it’s in their metal thrash era🤘

[@metalmickey]

I have heard lots of people say they like them. I'll give them a try. I met Gizz Butt years ago when he was in Janus Stark. He's a great guitarist. Cheers mate

[@williambayley6903]

Super interesting that a band is being advertised as death metal in 86🤔 with only really possessed out at the time and a year before death’s first album. Unsung pioneers?? Oh yeah and encore were complete shite 😂

[@metalmickey]

@@williambayley6903 Yeah that is early isn't it

[@albertampel4175]

I wouldn´t mind more advertisement like that guitar one, hehehe... My second guitar was an Aria in metallic green, totally aweful. What do you mean with that Gene Simmons comment? You played in a band yourself, you never had you bed full on women all the time? You must have done something wrong then, hahaha... oh, I forgot, you were the drummer...

[@metalmickey]

@@albertampel4175 😂 I have been asked for my autograph a couple of times though.
