One of my biggest regrets is that I never got to see him perform live (other than on DVD) ... :(

I'm sure we could all fill a complete set of encyclopedias with bands we miss but I totally agree with Bratta and White Lion and Saigon Kick.

 

SK have a reunion in the works and I'm hoping it includes new material with Kramer. In the meantime Bieler has an ep out under the moniker Owl Stretching which features a 2011 version of the track The Lizard.

 

I really couldn't. The only bands I genuinely miss are:

 

Death (RIP Chuck; such an unbelievable talent)

Metal Church (a la David Wayne or Mike Howe)

White Lion (with Bratta)

Tytan or Lion (Kal Swan at his best imo)

Thin Lizzy (with Phil, best front man ever)

Rough Cutt (Shortino's best by far)

 

Yeah, some great bands have been mentioned, but I found most of them went bad before they stopped performing. For example, Dangerous Toys - great debut, but pretty average after that; Cinderella - a few good songs on every album, but nothing got anywhere near 'Long Cold Winter' for me; Warrior Soul - I hate the way their music went after the second album; Queensryche - O:M was easily their peak; Trouble - pretty good before the s/t album, which was amazing, but after that it went downhill; Crimson Glory - 2 incredible albums, 1 average one and then one pretty poor album; Carcass - 'Swansong' was awful, etc etc...

One band I miss that actually is still around is Firehouse. They still rock live, CJ can still kill the high notes, yet they have been unable to come anywhere close to releasing anything like their first two albums. Man, if they could catch lighting in a bottle and put out something along the lines of those early albums that would be awesome.

You didn't like Trouble - Manic Frustration?? By far my fav Trouble release and as for Carcass...Swansong was the only release I liked....Trouble are supposedly working on a new release called The Dark Riff.....

Manic Frustration was okay, but nowhere near as good as the self-titled for me. 'Heartwork' is one of the best albums ever imo, but I thought Swansong was terrible! :D

'Swansong' polarises opinion among Carcass' fans ... although I've recently read a couple of things where it's been 're-evaluated' by the critics ... apparently, it's not the dog's dinner we all thought it was :) I'm guessing that these are the same critics who are now describing Celtic Frost's 'Cold Lake' as a 'brave departure', instead of 'utter bollocks' ...Aren't Trouble now fronted by Kory Clarke?

I know Angel and Starz still tour but some new releases would be great...

 

Wow, a Starz and Angel fan!

 

I agree, new releases from these bands COULD be tremendous, if done right. Combine their old '70s sound with modern recording techniques -- I'd love to hear that.

I really miss SAVATAGE, especially the Savatage with Zak Stevens on vocals.

 

Once a year I'll pull out all my Savatage discs and just go nuts for a few days. To this day the greatest and most listened to CD-R I ever made was a compilation of Savatage tunes. I've had to reburn it a few times over the years. Most of them with Zak Stevens on vox and all being the over the top orchestrated tracks or power ballad types.

 

Here are the tracks and the order in which they are listed.

 

Welcome (TWOM)

This Is The Time (Dead Winter Dead)

Chance (Handful Of Rain)

Gutter Ballet (Gutter Ballet)

This Isn't What We Meant (Dead Winter Dead)

Hourglass (TWOM)

All That I Bleed (Edge Of Thorns)

One Child (Dead Winter Dead)

Alone You Breath (Handful Of Rain)

Follow Me (Edge Of Thorns)

Not What You See (Dead Winter Dead)

Anymore (TWOM)

Somewhere In Time/Believe (Streets)

 

I can honestly say all these songs are perfect 10/10 tracks to me, for me it's the perfect mix.

 

If a CD-R could only be 90 minutes and not 80. I add the title tracks Edge Of Thorns and The Wake Of Megallan.

 

So any bands that you miss that haven't done anything in years or simply don't exist anymore?

 

I prefer the Zak Stevens stuff too, but I couldn't burn a Savatage CD without "Handful of Rain", their best tune IMO.

If nothing else, you gotta give Ratt a pass for not having Robbin in the lineup any longer cuz he's rather busy being dead.

 

The Misfits[With Glenn Danzig]

 

After hearing the stuff they've been crapping out with Jerry Only on vox, I'd settle for the Misfits with Michale Graves.

      Babymetal

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
