It's crazy how many great metal bands in the 80's never made it big, what a shame

[@carvinieri5217]

true!

[@LuisEnriqueBetancourtRod-vy3kh]

La causa fueron los Malos Manager.

[@scsi_joe]

@@LuisEnriqueBetancourtRod-vy3kh Could be bad managers, or I was thinking these bands didn't have good promoters.

[@LuisEnriqueBetancourtRod-vy3kh]

​@@scsi_joe Exactamente, cualquiera de las dos cosas, malos promotores o Manager. El mejor ejemplo, las bandas RIOT de Canadá, solo la conocen los fanáticos verdaderos del Heavy Metal, una banda tan buena como Maiden, Judas Priest, etc y no tuvo la fama de estas, otro caso es Tyger of Pantang, una banda espectacular y no la conocen muchos, solo los fanáticos viejos, esa banda tampoco tuvo un Manager como Kiss, SAXON, Scorpions, etc y no tiene nada que envidiarles a estas.

[@Mitch93]

@@heavymetal6285 Kinda their own fault for not reading the contracts properly or getting a lawyer to go through it to spot any bullshit.

[@viljamtheninja]

@@Mitch93 That was stupid, for sure. Doesn't mean it's not a complete dick move to knowingly and intentionally exploit the ignorance of the talent that created everything that actually gave record labels their income. Also, a lot of these guys were poor, working class-guys, who probably couldn't afford a lawyer, especially not after buying the gear necessary to actually play their music.

Вот это сюрприз! Не думал что когда нибудь ещё услышу эту полу легенду NWOBHM.! По моему из этого состава объявился клавишника Geoff Nichols, который позднее долго сотрудничал с Black Sabbath, периода Tony Martin'a. Чудесная гр. и великолепный альбом, вызывающий ностальгию! Канонический хард!

This is their most heavy metal sounding and poppiest album at the same time. Black Sabbath influence is less prominent than on the previous albums. "Buried Alive", "Silver Wheels" and "Love 'em And Run" border on thrash metal. This is super catchy, headbangable and kick ass music!

This is the third album of this band that I´ve listened until now,and I liked a lot! Quartz have great songs! Very good vocals and guitars! It´s sad that they didn`t do a successfull career! 80´s had excellent groups and maybe,that was one of the reasons of failure of them,because was hard to have more audience and albums`s selling than names liek Saxon,Maiden,Scorpions,AC/ DC,etc

[@user-ci3xy9fe5u]

Yeah it's crazy how many bands like these there are, almost forgotten. I sort of made it my hobby to discover as many as possible, because this is a phenomenal genre. Quartz kicks ass, and were actually very influential, but never given credit for it. Glad there are more people with great taste :3 Cheers!

[@rstsport9874]

Saxon used to be called son of a bitch, a four piece from barnsley with jonny walker on drums saw them in the adam and eve disco chesterfield one monday night in 75. Awesome, they blew our heads off, (cun't ear fo'ra wikk) and i though we were in for a shit disco night with two crack'in girls from school and a mate, also 73 at lea green near critch and king of diamonds shirebrook 74.
