Metal School (Band documentaries)

I recently posted this guy's "Sound Barrier" video in another thread. I love these types of retrospective videos when done well and he does a good job.

Unfortunately he hasn't done too many. I've posted all the remaining ones (13).

They're not too long, only about 20 minutes or so each, but they're very enjoyable.

Thanks for the heads up - love this stuff too. Most of these are in my playlist for today. Just watched Kix and Skid Row - really good stuff. 

Check out this guy too. He has some good stuff as well, but looking at what's left, it looks like he's having copyright issues and stuff must be getting removed. He had 4 videos on the rise and fall of Skid Row but Skid Row themselves actually went after him for copyright infringements, as he used some clips from their videos. I wonder if this Metal School guy will be next? Either way, his Tigertailz and Shotgun Messiah / Zinny J Zan stuff is real interesting. Well worth a watch.

I'll check him out. I don't know if you've seen my "Razorfist - Metal Mythos" thread, but he's got some killer ones. Probably the best I've seen.

I recently found the Metal School videos and they are well done, detailed, quality videos and he seems to do bands he likes and that we like. A win win.

 

The razorfist mythos are good, usually waaay long but he to does bands that twist his knickers so he is very passionate about the content and I'd bet they take a hot minute to make so his videos are pretty infrequent.

 

I'll go check out the G'off link. Fingers crossed it has something to do with his nipples...

This could be his best one so far. It's a long one. A forty minute video featuring "Warlock" and "Doro", but do yourself a favour. 

My God, was there anything hotter than Doro back in the day?

Actually, forget "back in the day", I'd quite happily give her one now!

Actually, when it comes to Doro, forget now, I'm not ruling out necrophilia.

I've also posted the "All We Are" video.

THE BEST VIDEO EVER FUCKING MADE!!!!!!

Agreed, Doro is, was and always will be chubby inducing.

When Doro came down here in Australia for tour. She done interview with my mates on radio, before she got interview, I spent half hour talking about those 1980s years with her.

Was not they left I remember Johnny D of Britney Fox was in her band, maybe he shorten his hair and I didn't recognize him.

Wonder why Icon got removed. I'm subscribed to this channel so watch the new ones as they come out. Really enjoy this channel. A lot of the bands I don't have many cds from, but always interested in their stories anyway. Armored Saint and Riot ones, even Loudness and now Savatage have given me the incentive to check out albums from their discography I haven't checked out before.

I agree 100%.

 Particularly with Savatage. 

I was always aware of them of course, but never gave them much of a go.

Yeah, I only ever owned the 'Gutter Ballet' album which sounds like it was a bit out there at the time. Keen to try a couiple of those mid to late 80s one. Not expecting too much, but curious. 

Same with Riot. Only ever owned one of their later albums... Maybe late 1990s or early 2000s. But curious to try their 86-93 era albums, out of curiosity. 

With Armored Saint, I only ever owned the awesome 'Symbol of salvation' and it's looking like that was a smart move. Entirely adequate band, but holy shit they just wrote the blandest songs outside of that record.

One of my fav Savatage albums "Power Of The Night" and this tasty rocker:

    • Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.
    • Doesn't sound like Sweet at all but I kinda like it actually.
    • From your list and what hasn't been mentioned ,Sleeze Beez -Screwed,Blued & Tattooed and their Powertool album  ,Bezerk by Tigertailz , first two Lillian Axe , Baton Rouge - Shale Your Soul...all particular favs of mine,I have  a soft spot for Loudness - Thunder In The East also,dunno if you have Master Of Disguise from Lizzy Borden but it would be my fav by them....to be honest most of the artists on that  list I like though 
    • New song 'Burning Like A Falling Star' from the forthcoming album 'Full Circle'.    
    • Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".  
    • So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger  
    • New song 'Chase The Sun'.    
    • Super Sabre - Sugar and Spice *This is actually a full album, “Chasing the Rabbit”, with a complete band backstory included in the YT description. “Sugar and Spice” is the opening track…
