It's lonely being a Raven Lunatic, especially in the U.S. :(

If it was 1981-1984 and you lived in the UK you wouldn't be so lonely.

 

Very true. Or if I were in Japan during the 90s (when Japan was the only place that gave them a record deal...)

I don't think they were the only NWOBHM band that had that problem.

I think I read somewhere that Dennis Stratton from Maiden toured with Praying Mantis quite often over in Japan during the 90's.

For me, it is between....

Ozzy Osbourne "Blizard Of Ozz"

AC/DC "For Those About To Rock"

Def Leppard "High And Dry"

Y&T "Earthshaker"

but...

I went with Def Leppard "High And Dry" in the end!

Well damn I am the ONLY one that voted for "Denim and Leather""

 

It was a hard choice, Raven ALMOST got My pick, but, well, that Saxon album is just SO good...

 

Sorry Keith..... :P

 

Ehh, it's my own fault...I'm the one who turned you on to Saxon in the first place. Curses! :P

Hmmmm, another poll I was M.I.A. on when it was originally posted. Though not truly a "metal" album, I voted for AC/DC: "For Those About to Rock," my fave from this bunch.

Def Leppard- High & Dry then Riot & Y&T no exactly Heavy Metal albums they are Heavy/Hard Rock

 

By 1981 standards, Def Leppard's HIGH N DRY was pretty damn metal, if you ask me :banger:

Backed. And that was the point on some of these threads that at the time those bands were considered Metal.

Now on the later yearly Metal threads I unfortunately lost the plot. :anon:

I was trying to hard to include enought bands so everyone could have someone to vote for.

    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
