Metal Tag 2025

[@marc.g.with.a.c.]

Great Metal Tag John. The year has gotten off to a good start with the ‘Mutagenic Host’ album… & looking forward to seeing them live again up in Glasgow… nearly as much as I’m looking forward to catching up with you mate. Can’t wait🤘🏻

Nice one Johnny! Thanks for doing the Metal Tag. Always great to see what you’re gonna show. Happy new year! -Marty/Worm

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@@HeavyMetallurgy Cheers,Marty. Some excellent questions, once again. Hope you and Alan have a great 2025. 🤘🍻

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Great response Johnny boy! I'm still hunting the first Eternal Rot album on vinyl so i feel your pain! Great to see Pale Horse Named Death, forgot all about them! Top video chief

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi John!!! great response and entry to this year metal tag, the guys did another awesome job this time.... some question are kind of tricky thou..... "Acid is the name, heavy metal is the game". That's a lot of Cure stuff and that War Hawk artwork looks pretty cool. cheers and be well

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@@cristianosorio2517 Cheers,Cristian. Yes, I did struggle with a few questions this year. 🤘🍻

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

Great response John! Necrophobic is new to me but that album is fantastic! That Sisters of Mercy is the only one I own by them but quite enjoyable! Happy New Year!

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@georgegsroomofrock9868 Cheers,George. Agreed, I was very Impressed with the new Necrophobic album. It's probably the most rock of the Sisters albums, more like The Cult. And you 🤘🍻

Excellent response John!

[@metalmartymac]

Great response video John Lots of great answers and some very cool vinyls on show…def need to get some Type O on vinyl Awesome stuff Brother See you in Glasgow 🤘🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💀

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@metalmartymac Cheers,Marty. Yep, you definitely need some more Type O on vinyl. Indeed, Glasgow will be epic, again.🤘🍻

[@HM2dylanpowell]

Enjoyed this video and your take on the metal tag mate. Nice varied stuff on display. Really pleased that you’ve got into Necrophobic one of my all time favourite bands and the new Album is phenomenal 😉🤘🏻

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@HM2dylanpowell Cheers, Dylan. Yeah, not sure why I didn't get round to listening to Necrophobic till last year, but certainly glad I finally did. Excellent stuff. See you in a few weeks,bud 🤘🍻

[@This-Is-Music]

Excellent response! Awesome picks throughout. Acid = good stuff! 'Monotheist' reissued on vinyl would be fantastic! King Diamond is usually excellent live. You're in for a treat.

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@This-Is-Music Cheers,Kim. Acid are certainly Underrated. It's the one Celtic Frost I would love to own on vinyl. I have heard King Diamond is excellent live. 🤘🍻

[@This-Is-Music]

@@rockandmetalplus5248 He's great live. Enjoy the show :)

[@matoxdeepshadows]

Good gear here my bro, a real variety on offer here bruz unlike myself 🤣, I may actually jump on this tag this time some solid questions. Cheers heaps, looking forward to the stream! 🍻🍻🍻

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@matoxdeepshadows Cheers,Matey. Would be cool to see your answers, bro. Can't wait for the livestream, you will be able to pimp Inebriated winds as well 🤘🍻

[@matoxdeepshadows]

@rockandmetalplus5248 absolutely, keen as to jump on with you legends, should be a beauty!

[@blackleathereyes3673]

Wanna finish listening to em so I can have at least something to say. Thanks for the shout bud... Keep er lit ya legend! Cheers chum!

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@blackleathereyes3673 cheers,Jason. Yeah, Monotheist needs to be re-release on vinyl. Thanks for the awesome artwork ( and the 2 cool albums you sent me) . No worries,bud. If you don't get chance to do a video, no worries. And anything you don't dig, just pass it on, my friend. 🤘🍻

[@seanbeast939]

Cracking answers, boss. Proper old school vibe to that Acid album in the background. I might have to grab a copy 😂 I had a feeling you might show Coffin Mulch for the multiple issues thing 😅 Always good to see you buddy 🤘

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@seanbeast939 Cheers,Beast. Yeah, I really enjoyed tge Acid album. Great stuff. Yeah, I had to go for The Mulch. Interested to see what you go for, when you do your vid. See you in Glasgow. 🤘🍻

[@metalmogul]

hydravein is a great choice for bad cover great album. Great to see you matey, looking forward to DoW - well the crack rather than the bands lol.

[@thegrimmfluencer]

Some great pics here John.

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@thegrimmfluencer Cheers,Dave. Hope you are OK,pal. Will do do a video for the Metal Tag this year? 🤘🍻

[@thegrimmfluencer]

@rockandmetalplus5248 Aye, I have three videos I need to make but not been at my best to do them yet. Been lavking motivation yoo. They'll get done soon.

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@thegrimmfluencer yeah, I figured you had not been in the mood for youtube stuff. Hope you feel better soon mate. 🤘🍻

[@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine]

I haven't actually heard that Gaye Bykers album 😂 but yeah you're right I stick to the one I know. Nice old Bolt Thrower in the background mate! Have a good time at the festival 🤘

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@sixzerothreeonesevensixnine Cheers,Mike. Must admit, The Gaye Bykers album I showed is the only one I own, so I'm the same. It's my favourite Bolt Thrower album, must admit. You will be missed at Glasgow this year,mate. But understand why you won't be making the trip.

[@metaldownunder666]

You cant go wrong with any Agnostic Front. Great band. I would buy stuff from EMP but the shipping to NZ is bonkers however they have a stall at Wacken and i have picked up a few albums when i was there. Always kool to see any Type Of Negative shown as they were 1 of my favourite bands in the 90s. R.I.P Peter Steele. I have tried so many times to get my head around Voivod but i just cant get into it. You never know they may click with me one day. Killer tag mate😃🤘

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@metaldownunder666 Cheers,Nathan. Yeah, luckily I've joined the EMP, Backstage club. For a yearly fee I get free shipping, so worth it for me. Love Type O, excellent band. Who knows, Voivod may click at some point , keep trying. 🤘🍻

[@mendicantmedia]

I was the same with Voivod but for Angel Rat and finally got it a few years ago. Nothingface is my fave but Angel Rat was just too different

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@mendicantmedia Cheers. Yeah, back in the day, Voivod certainly were not scared to experiment. Love all thier stuff now. Thanks for watching 🤘🍻

[@mendicantmedia]

@@rockandmetalplus5248 I own some of the non-Snake albums but haven't listened to them in years. Plus still don't own any Jasonic era stuff so maybe I'll do some digging

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

@mendicantmedia yeah, Its taken me a few years to get into the albums without Snake and Blackey, but after enjoying The Wake when it released, I decided to dig back into the albums I had ignored/ disliked and I think I've become more tolerant over time.
