faves?
heard Iron Maiden The Trooper other day on 6music, a blast from the past quality 😀
Much D-A-D stuff, Cinderella, Van Halen, Metallica, GnR, Tigertailz, AC/DC, Damn Yankees, Skid Row, Motley Crüe. Most of it really!
Faith no more tunes maybe more early 90s though I reckon,
Early Metallica - superb stuff.
Testament - The Legacy
Exodus - Fabulous disaster
Everything good and bad about 80's metal in 4 glorious minutes
..and Diamond Head of course.
no mention of Spinal Tap 😆
loved early metallica
Ratt - Round and Round, 80s spandex-tastic. The video has Milton Berle in it, in drag. Go figure.
Everything good and bad about 80's metal in 4 glorious minutes
That is truly truly awful, and not in a good way.
I'd throw in 80's era Ozzy, Exodus, Guns n Roses, most Bay Area thrash.
Got to love a bit of slayer...
Pantera - for some sweet dimebag riffs/solos
Get your bermuda shorts and sneakers on. Anthrax FTW!!!
Ratt, Lay it Down
That is truly truly awful, and not in a good way.
But you can't deny that it distills the sheer ridiculousness of the 80's metal scene rather well.
Musicwise I'm more of a DRI/Dark Angel man but I do love a bit of pure metal silliness every now and again, saw Manowar few years back, bloody brilliant, one of the best atmospheres I've ever experienced at a gig.

Part of it, maybe, but not the part I listened to.
That Nitro vid is utter carp, glad it passed me by, totally ridiculous guitar histrionics!
As a Jilly's regular, these, amongs many others bring back a lot of memories:
Faith no More The Real Thing was 89 so it counts 🙂
I like Suicidal Tendencies. Started listening to them just as I was getting into mountain biking. Me and mate used to blow our dole money on trips to the Lake district, Suicidal tendencies were always in the cassette player of the car. Happy days.
Standby stomach, here come banana.
ST....ST....ST....ST
Dino Jr metal? Hmmmmmmm.
And 'Introduce Yourself' was 87 🙂
Managed to pick up a vinyl copy of 'We Care A Lot' from Piccadilly Records, brand new in 88.
Had been released in 85, so god knows how it got to Manchester.
Dino Jr metal? Hmmmmmmm.
Well, it was a regular in The Banshee/Jilly's/Rock World, along with loads of other Punk/Crossover stuff like Mudhoney, Dead Kennedy's, Killing Joke etc.
Rock wasn't all spandex and make up in the 80's 😀
I have much thrash from the 80s in my collection. \m/
This was 89, but reminds me so much of that period:
Bit before ny time but Diamondhead white album- quality!
ST were great, I did a 'retrospective' on spotify the other day and their stuff stands up relativity well.
Any how what about MOTORHEAD they practically invented metal.
Saw them at hamersmith odeon a couple of times in the 80s and it was the awsumz
Georgia Satellites - remember seeing them in the old International club in Manchester. We built a pyramid New Model Army stylee in the middle of the crowd and Dan Baird (vocalist?) stopped what he was doing to watch us!
Georgia Satellites ! Blimey, saw them at JB's - I think it was their only UK date!
Edit - clearly not if muddy dwarf saw in manc !
Any how what about MOTORHEAD they practically invented metal.
Erm.... no, they didn't.
Accept
Georgia Sattelites metal ???????
Saw the Satellites a few times, first was on their debut UK tour in some hall in Stoke on Trent. Great gig 🙂

Faith no More The Real Thing was 89 so it counts
Argh right, cheers, 😀
And that was the first album with singer mike pattern, whora guy! 8)
Would have to agree with pigface - satellites not metal. Diamond Head however..
Voivod
S.O.D
Nuclear Assault
Slayer
The Accused
My music interests started with King Crimson's ITCOTCK, then Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Uriah Heep. The 'New Wave of Heavy Metal' left me cold, apart from a bit of Anthrax, most of it I thought was overblown and daft, then Mudhoney, Faith No More and Soundgarden came along and restored my faith in heavy rock.
😀
'The labels you pin on yourself fall off and start to rust.....'
And those labels are in your head, messing with your mind.
I can't believe that no one's mentioned Saxon (although they're arguably better now then they were back then); we'll worth a listen I'd say.
Zodiac mind warp and the love reaction, the High Priest of Love E.P. Is brilliant
Not sure I would call them metal 😉
"and the more they take the p*(* the less people you can trust" eh Pete? 😉
AC/DC
Twisted Sister had a moment
Crüe
Maiden
and justice for all
Not sure FnM and AC/DC are metal really but still - great bands though.
Anthrax, Megadeth and Metallica were my 80s metal faves I but had a soft spot for some of the NWOBHM bands back then.
Diamond Head are awesome
No mention of Priest yet?..
Despite my ultra favourite Priest album coming in 76' (Sad Wings of Destiny) - their 80's albums hit the spot.
do Steel Panther count?!
Did someone mention Nuclear Assault?
I may have been a fan many decades ago...

Death Angel
Celtic Frost
Scorpions made some fine albums in the 80's, Animal Magnetism and Love at First Sting to name two of them
Late 80s was the golden age of thrash, slayer, megadeth, anthrax, metallica, exodus, testament, kreator, nuclear assault, sabbat all released their best stuff between 86-89
^^ latest Scorps isn't bad either 😉
I used to love heavy pettin
Diamondhead Canterbury is as metal as ill ever get
So I guess that means no
do Steel Panther count?!
It's fun spotting which band they are parodying in each song on their first album.
Maiden,pity the new sound on the last two albums is gash
Diamond Head
Scorpions
Saxon
UFO (I know,not really metal)
Doro Pesch / warlock
The Cult
\m/
If you have UFO and Scorpions,you can have MSG tooooo!
Doro Pesch / warlock
My first gig was Dio supported by Warlock at the Newport Centre! I must have been 15. Doro was certainly popular with most of the audience!
Bonfire
Brighton Rock
Femme Fatale
FM
Dare
Vinnie Vincent Invasion.
Dodgy I know!!
Destruction
Tankard
Exodus
Testament
Voivod
Coroner
Kreator
Not metal, but.....
The Stupids
Zodiac Mind Warp are the worst band I have ever seen. And that's up against Pronghorn and a few others...
Did see Maiden, MSG, Blackfoot, Ronnie James Dio, Robert Plant, UFO, Rick Wakeman, Deborah Harry, Wishbone Ash, 10CC and a few others at the Mayflower in Southampton - well aware that these aren't all metal bands, just reminiscing...
I'll just leave this album here...
Oh and why not
Never really a Slayer fan but when they're good, they are amazing.
Queensryche anyone?
You can't talk about 80's metal without mentioning Shades Records in St Anne's Court. Used to get dragged there on Saturdays by my mates. Brilliant place.
Tobruk... Wild on the Run 😆

Queensryche anyone?
Operation Mindcrime 🙂
Operation Mindcrime is a classic
80s Hardcore > 80s Metal
