    Default re:

    HARDLINE = DOUBLE ECLIPSE. Neil Schon from Journey. Its early 1990's. But it "ROCKS" The guitar playing and catchy tunes are rocking big time..

    Gives you a tiny little glimpse. The guitar playing is awesome.


    VINCE NEIL = EXPOSED. Steve Stevens is top of his game on that Disc. Again early 1990's 93 i think.

    Promise you wont be disappointed.

    Flotsam and Jetsam - No Place for Disgrace (2nd album)
    Flotsam and Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver (1st album)
    Tesla
    Slaughter
    Savatage
    Trouble

    all not that much hair, but definately 80's metal....Flotsam caused quite some excitement back then with this album, but they couldn't keep their promise with following albums....it is my favourite 80's album!!!

    Old



    New (well old guys playing old stuff

    Andy, I LOVE that album! Great choice, man. I also see you've rediscovered the funnel icon.

    Hey George, If its on in the Car, next thing you know I'm doing 100 mph in my little Citroen C1

    I'm glad the man with the Funnel is back. Wonder where he went?

    hmm, well i'm more into the mainstream hair metal, but i'd recomend you get these albums:

    Bon Jovi's Self-Titled & 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit (both grossly underrated)

    Whitesnake's Greatest Hits

    Guns N' Roses Appetite For Destruction

    Skid Row's Self Titled

    Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure Soundtrack

    Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood

    All pretty obvious choices (Appetite For Destruction!) but those are my favourites.

    And Rchie Sambora's solo albums are great too, although theyre more blues than metal.

    Man I don't even know where to begin. There are just so many worth checking out.
    An absolute must have is Lynch Mob 'Wicked Sensation'.

    How about these:

    Tesla (any)
    Great White (anything from 'hooked' or older)
    Loudness
    Accept
    Iron Maiden
    Jake E. Lee era Ozzy
    RR era Ozzy

    Some of those are kinda obvious. Here are a few that may not be:

    Kik Tracee
    Enuffs Z Nuff
    Babylon A.D.
    Dirty Looks
    Heavens Edge
    Savatage

    The list goes on and on....

    Vince Neil's Exposed has Steve Stevens totally let loose without question you have to get that plus 'Atomic Playboys' Stevens solo album is well worth hunting down. BTW less of the OLD, it just seems like yesterday to most of us here

    No way man! I like Turbo.
    I know what you mean though. It's probably not my favorite. I'd probably have to say 'Defenders of the Faith' rates right up there though.

    as a huge Priest fan, I can honestly say that I regret buying it just to help complete my collection

    I gotta by their debut (Rocka Rolla) to make up for it.

    another couple good bands?

    Living Colour
    Badlands
    Killer Dwarfs
    Warrant
    Ratt
    Faster Pussycat
    Pretty Boy Floyd
    Ugly Kid Joe
    Dangerous Toys
    Danger Danger
    Twisted Sister

    Most of these bands are either from the UK or USA. Does anyone know some great metal bands in other countries ? I came across years ago at a CD store called FYE that had a CD from the band Stratovarius. They are from Helsinki, Finland and they sure do rock.

    Queensryche, another favorite of mine.

    Skid Row...yes, but with Sebastian Bach on vocals. One of the best metal lead singers ever.

    Couple of off the wall bands I dug in the 80's.

    Icon - really good CD that for some reason never took hold, very Whitesnake'ish' in its sound
    XYZ - Very good stuff and has the 80's vibe
    Kings X - Well, I'm going to suggest them no matter what, but they don't sound 80's, but are a product of the 80's.
