Captain Howdy

Well considering the age of most of these guys who do these lists, most of them pick 60s and 70s bands because they are probably the bands that influenced them most, so for him to pick a band that came out long after he started his career that really is recent. Most surprising to me is that he did not pick Pantera as his more "recent" band seeing as how much they influenced his sound after he left JP.

According to this, they are https://christian-metal.fandom.com/wiki/Possession Also a channel on YouTube called Christianmetalfan777 posted their stuff

Too fucking right.

Good god that was painful to listen to. Fucking awful. Does not sound anything like Sven Gali

While I love these kind of documentaries, I hate the fact that the facts are not always right and they jump all over the place with how things happened. For instance in the third episode they are talking about 1989 and how things were changing due to the rise of Metallica and metal was moving into a more pop orientated musical style with ballads, like ballads had not been a staple of the hair metal genre for most of the decade. And then examples they give are Cinderella heartbreak station, which came out in 1991 and Bon Jovi bed or roses (1992) almost as if songs like Every rose, Home sweet home, Wanted, Is this love, Honestly, The price and Sweet child did not exist.

Seems to be a new trend seeing as we had the three part I Wanna Rock: The 80s Metal Dream a month or two ago.

To be honest most of the stuff I have bought this year is either in the HH database or in the BM database, so not really sure if I have purchased anything outside of that. If we are just talking HH, then only bands I can think of that I have bought are Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica. Metallica was a decent album and A7X was a bit of a let down as it was a bit too experimental for me, especially considering how long we waited for a new album. I do like a lot of styles of music, but generally only buy singles or individual songs rather than whole albums. A couple of singles I bought that I really liked and dont belong here are Electric Callboy - Everytime we touch and Fallout Boys cover of We didnt start the fire (not normally a fan of theirs but really liked their take on this with updated lyrics)

They are in the HH database though.

Looking at some of these I would say its a stretch to say they were named after songs purely because they are already existing terms in the English language (Sweet FA & Snake charmer for instance). And Wig Wam could have just as easily named themselves after the native American structure. Is Firehouse named after the Kiss song or an actual Firehouse where Firemen work? I think there are some that are obvious such as Last in line seeing as it was a bunch of ex-Dio guys paying tribute. A band like Lovebites you might think was named after the Def Leppard song just based on that, but they have said that they are actually named after the Halestorm song. Motorhead were named after a song that Lemmy wrote when he was in Hawkwind. Deep Purple were named after a piano composition by a guy whos name I cant remember. Hanoi Rocks named themselves after the song Chinese Rocks by Johnny Thunders but changed the location name I have heard stories that Poison were named after the Kix song, but have never heard it actually confirmed by the band Sisters of Mercy took their name from a Leonard Cohen song And then there was Right Said Fred named after a Bernard Cribbins song (oh you wanted rock bands? Sorry) Not really a band that would get much love on here, and not a song, but Masters of reality named themselves after the Sabbath album. Oh and on the subject of Black Sabbath. Yes they had a song called Black Sabbath and yes they had an album called Black Sabbath, but they were named after a horror film from the early 60s.

Or are they songs named after bands that are named after albums?

Don't be offended by boobies Also the censored version seeing as embedding is blocked

Not really doing anything unexpected, but still sounds great. Just happy to hear him recording the songs that influenced him. I wonder how Dave feels about him recording Bon Jovi songs after their falling out

My personal favourite Winger song ever

I bought the first three albums when they reissued them about a decade ago as the bonus discs were awesome. These new reissues are just cash grabs. Only good thing is if you collect vinyl as not sure most of their catalogue has been released in that format. Just look at the difference between the 2009 and 2023 reissues of Backstreet symphony

The "rare" bonus tracks on all three are just live tracks. There is already so much live stuff available by these guys that this seems somewhat pointless. Still at least they are reasonably priced.

Thunder · We are happy to announce 3 more of Thunder's studio albums will be reissued by BMG on October 20th on both vinyl & CD. For some it will be the first time they've been available on vinyl since their original release, and for others, it will be the first time ever. As with the first 3 reissues, they will be expanded editions, with the original albums plus bonus tracks (rare, previously unreleased and/or deleted). In addition, the band have signed a limited number of artcards for each album/format, which will be available only on the Townsend Music Store, while stocks last. The Thrill Of It All, Giving The Game Away and Shooting At The Sun reissues can be pre-ordered right now in bundles or separately at the link below: https://thunderband.lnk.to/ttoiagtgasatsFA Thanks, The Thin Further Expanding One

CDs arent listed on the site anymore.

I wonder if they will get the rights to her earlier stuff like they did with GATC seeing as when I tried to order from her website they would not deliver outside Australia.
