Always love watching these Mike. So that's really cool you bought a load more with revenue from your own video! That's an interesting Donnington line-up, I'll have to see if my dad went to that one. The Dynamo line-up looked cool. If this video was even quieter it could count as ASMR! 😂😂🤘🏻
@metalmickey Haha, that's cool you know ASMR! I like it as it helps me relax before I go to bed. Haha, maybe for the next one you can go full ASMR style! 🤣🤣🤘🏻
@@JoshKeech I watch someone called Jeanie B or something she's in her 60s. I like the older birds they are soothing. Sh1t I can't believe I admitted to it 😂
@metalmickey Ahh ok, I don't know her channel. Ohh ok, fair enough. Haha, yeah you just said that out loud!! 🤣🤣 I can't lie, I like watching female ASMR channels as I find it much more relaxing and soothing 😊😁
I´ve seen Freaky F**kin´ Weirdoz live a lot, they were from my area. "Bitch, make sandwich" was a huge hit over here. I was at that AC/DC, Metallica show. ´tallica played "Enter Sandman" and "Sad but True", that was shortly befor the album came out. Even Crüe were good, their best show I´ve seen. Well, to be honest, the only good show I´ve seen by them, hahaha... I´d love to see FM live, I always liked the guys voice. So smooth, hehehe... He´s done four Maiden cover songs and he sounds amazing at those!
@@albertampel4175 I never seen AC/DC but I've only ever been a casual fan and these days it's £150 a ticket. You surprised we with FM. Those bands like FFW were pushed by the industry for 5 minutes and none of them caught on over here.
Wasn't really in to MH, i used to buy it every now and then. i have boxes and boxes of kerrangs in the attic though, along with my favourite magazine ever, which was METAL FORCES. The only time i have ever won anything in a magazine was a comp in Metal Forces, it was to win a signed copy of the (then) new Kreator album, Extreme Aggression, i never received it. the mag went tits up, oh well. This 'thrash' magazine, were they a monthly special by kerrang!? I can just about remember it, if it's the same one i am thinking of, i'm sure i have all of them somewhere. i shall look forward to those flick throughs, great vid me ode.
@@metalmickey I'm going to have to make a list, so many mags i've forgotten i bought, RAW Power, Terroriser, I've not found those 'thrash' mags yet... thinking about it, i'm sure it was a quarterly or something like that. Forgot i had so many Classic Rock mags. I'll let you know me ode
I had to skip through your other videos to this year. I was 19 and loved Metal, no-one else I knew did . Love all those albums, and this year was an all-time favourite. " And Justice .. " was mind blowing. It would take me years to know some of the others you mention. Great Fun.
Enjoyed this series Mike. Yeah the Real Thing is a great album, agree with you that it really gets going part way into it, but the other tracks are not ones you want to skip either. One thing I've noticed with this series is how low down some of the Maiden albums were. i thought perhaps they'd all be pushing top 3 minimum. Would be cool if you can do some other decades if you have enough albums you like from them.
@@GRockVC I think a few people are surprised by the position of the Maidens. I love all their albums enough to be my favourite band. Take Testament for instance. They've rates very highly and I love Souls of Black too. But after 1990 my Interest plummets. That's the same with a lot of bands after 1990. I don't mind some stuff but miles away from how I think of them in the 80s.
Hi Mike!!! loved the series, it was a fun ride.....of course never of G.B.O.A. not even by name, i will try to check them out. Cool Testament/FNM artwork story, btw hope that Annihilator landed safe and sound, lol.... cheers
Well that was an interesting way to end your series 😂 I'd swap out Wasp, Faith no More and your no.1 for Agent Orange, Shattered existence and an Aussie plug.....Face of Despair.......Alice in Hell just outside those picks......sometimes we just don't connect with a band.....anyway thanks again and look forward to what you've got coming up 🍻🍻🍻
@@glennandreasen3152 I wish someone would offer some defense for Alice in Hell 😂. People forever say they like it but never say what it's strengths are. Cheers for watching mate
1 - Joe Satriani_Flying in a Blue Dream 2 - Ozzy Osbourne_No Rest for the Wicked 3 - Savatage_Gutter Ballet 4 - Whitesnake_Slip of the Tongue 5 - Alice Cooper_Trash 6 - Black Sabbath_Headless Cross 1989 wasn't my favorite year. The Real Thing was really good and I really could replace one of the other albums on my list with it. I've heard of Gaye Bykers on Acid, but have never actually heard them. I'll eventually check it out, you've mentioned how much you like that album a few times, but I remember hearing about them back in the 80s/early 90s. I've heard Alison Hell and the song they did about mac & cheese and liked them both, but I've never heard anything else from Annihilator. If it's that bad, I probably won't bother.
@@wm-nu1yf No Overkill eh? I could have gone with a few from 89 tbh. Mordred, Toxik, Nuclear Assault, Obituary. I've always thought 89 was a strong year. Not as good as 90 though
@@metalmickey I've never heard Overkill. Out of the bands you mentioned, I've heard one song from Nuclear Assault back in the late 80s. Didn't like it at the time and haven't heard any of their stuff since. After I posted, I listened to a couple of GBOA songs. Didn't hate it, but not something I'm really into. 90 was a good year, you should at least do a ranking video for it.
It's been a great series mate I've really enjoyed it have actually heard of your no 1 choice a bloke I worked with was big into bands like that along with ned's atomic dustbin and zodiac mindwarp cheers looking forward to the 90s when you do them!
Excellent picks mate. Again the only one I don't Know is Helloween. Megadeth covered Problems on their excellent Hidden Treasures CD. Will be watching 89 later on mate
I’ve never heard that ‘Demon’ album… I must change that eh. ‘Rush’ are a band that have grown on me more & more over the years… love that album. I’m catching up on watching loads of videos… including yours Mike. Good to see you mate🤘🏻
Beneath the remains, Agent Orange, Streetcleaner , Fabulous Disaster, Practice what you preach, Handle with care, Conspiracy, Symphonies of sickness, Piece of time, Altars of madness, Consuming Impulse, Alice in Hell and World Downfall.
Great picks here Mike. But there is to many killer albums this year. One of the best Wasp albums. Sabbat rules, impressive to see him do it live. Can't stand Faith No More, had some friends that played them all the time..... Overkill rules. Great Testament as well. Never heard of that other one. Annihilator, good album, but without the opening tracks, it would not be as popular. B-side do have a couple great songs. What a disrespectful throw..... Cheers. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Lol, that's what i like about you Mike. Making no bones whatsoever in something you can't stand : ) Wouldn't say anything like as strong, but it seems i must be the only metal fan who dosen't particularly like Testament. And again, what puts me off more than anything is Chuck Billy's vocals. Same goes for Joey Belladonna in Anthrax. Horses for courses, eh : ))
When the Sabbat album came out I tried to read along with the lyrics but not being a native speaker, I was thrown off after a couple of lines every time, hahahaha... No. 1 Overkill! Nice rant about the (great) Annihilator album, what a way to end this series, hahahaha.... I think we need the three days you´ll spend here to get through their whole catalogue 😂
I used to have a 'Vanity/Nemesis' t-shirt too. :) Excellent picks again. "Surprise.... you're dead.... ahahahah!" :) I actually recognize the name of the band that's in your number ine spot, but I'm not sure I've heard their music.
I saw gaye bikers open for motorhead at Hammersmith in 87, then went along to a couple of other club gigs ,they were always good fun. I had forgotten about them.
Never in a million years did I expect Stewed to the Gills to be number One. Kudos. I love that record and it's one of a trio of LPs that shifted my listening from Metal.. which by 1990 had almost disappeared thanks to Metallica and the radio friendly blandness/safeness of the Black Album- which I hate and have never listened to in it's entirety or owned. I loved that Gaye Bykers record but was not keen on other stuff apart from their last record, Pernicious Nonsense. I was a huge fan (and still am) of Pop Will Eat itself though, so my pick from number one would be the untouchable "This is the hour.. This is the day.. This is THIS LP from them in 89.. if you are a fan of Stewed to the Gills, then I highly recommend PWEI on that record as it is just one of the best British rock/alternative albums ever.
The Zombie Eaters and The Morning After Two of their most Greatest songs love those two songs so much. FNM so talented and so unique of a group. Love FNM. pretty much love most of their albums. Introduce Yourself is also a great album very underrated in my opinion. The song Chinese Arithmetic is so fuckin Awesome in my opinion. If you don't have that album in your collection Mike? And truly love FNM like myself. I highly recommend Introduce Yourself. Such a unique album. Very good video Mike take care brother.🍻🤘
´..And Justice For All´ : my first proper metal album as a youngster back then. Have never understood the criticism of the production, the opinion that it sounds 'bad' because the bass isn't prominent is just old and stale. It sounds great on OG vinyl, there is an audible low end to the guitars. You're right, it would have sounded awful with bass prominent.
I love Alice In Hell. I love when you shit on my fav albums lol. I do agree with you on many points too. That Testament album is a banger. I'd love this to go to this day. Great vids!
1989 is like the height of Metal musics popularity. Apart from the ones you've talked about in this video, I can name Sodom - Agent Orange, Cloven Hoof- A Sultan's Ransom, Metal Church - Blessing in Disguise, Helstar - Nosferatu, Savatage - Gutter Ballet, Sepultura - Beneath the Remains as some of my faves from that year. I always cringe when I watch Dad-Rock channels talking about how late 80s was a "horrible time for metal music" lol Those guys don't know shit. Anyway thnx for the video.
WASP upped their game with Headless and it’s still my favourite from them 🤘I won’t promise to check out your number one 😝 you’d be over the moon that Jeff Waters lives in the UK with your love for Annihilator 😂😂
Believe it or not I kind of guessed what number 1 would be. I did give it a cursery listen ages ago when you mentioned it in another video but just wasn't feeling it at the time. I'll give it another spin and report back. Really enjoyed this series, Mike
@@seanbeast939 Cheers mate. I think most people are now at a stage where we've heard any of the easy to get into albums from the old days. If we don't know an album it's likely to be a bit more attention needed and if you've got a hundred other things to get yo it's not going to happen.
Gaye Bykers On Acid. local Lesta band, love 'em, saw them at the Rebellion Festival last year in Blackpool. look up, ‘Lesbian Dopeheads On Mopeds’, capitalism at it's finest. Great to see you deviating from the 'norm' with your eclectic tastes. great set of vids me ode.
Interesting mix- that Sabbat LP is incredible. For me Beneath The Remains, Agent Orange Extreme Aggression, Altars of Madness- and of course Sabbath’s Headless Cross
Sabbat- Masterpiece! Practice- Amazing album and leaps over the previous album. Underrated gor sure. Never liked FNM.... Only Overkill album I own. Never much of a fan. GBOA- was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Annihilator never peaked my interest .. Great series that was Mike.
Seventh son is still my favourite maiden album there's an atmosphere on that record that they never repeated don't know if I should give megadeth another chance as there's some used copies of so far at my local shop for £3 on cd and see if my opinion of dave's vocals have changed
Another cool watch Mickey.....All great picks from you...I tried to guess your glaring omission as 'South of Heaven'....lucked out there haha....I would have album that in my picks instead of Helloween just because i haven't listened to them that much and I would include Eternal Nightmare. I met Sean Killian last year when Vio-lence toured here with Sacred Reich and they played 90% of that album 🙂 I also saw Dave Ellefson's Megadeth tribute band play the whole So Far So Good album with Jeff Young....absolutely fantastic.....last time I saw Metallica in 2010 they played the song AJFA and Lars fucked it up🤪 A History of time to come is fantastic.....a very honourable mention/essential listening album.......Anyway see you in 1989 🍻🍻🍻
@@metalmickey The singer is Chaz Leon.....i don't know much of him apart from this band with Ellefson and Young.....here's a couple of live clips from the gig last year....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sa8U3BAD87A.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yy_3lwCcYO8.html
Hi Mike!!! you're right 88's will always be a huge year in hardrock/metal with those huge and cool albums you showed..... To me that's the last "perfect" Maiden album fro the classic 80's era. For some reason that Mgeadeth album "sounds" to short to me, like it needs another song or maybe a better cover, like Metallica did later. The UK thrash scene was not a thing here, never heard or knew about Sabbat, Acid Reign, Xentrix...... really need to catch up with a lot of those releases. cheers and be well
Megadeth albums are a bit short until Rust in Peace. I didn't think the UK thrash bands would be known in your area they didn't get enough attention. So have you never checked any of them out? They've certainly been mentioned a ton in the last 5 years or so in the VC.
@@metalmickey Yes, thanks to you (UK) guys i have discover some cool bands like the big ones (Xentrix, Acid Reign, Sabbat) and some lesser know ones (Holosale, D.A.M, Toranaga, Slammer) and a couple i can't remember now and you know what? all sounded really good and i need to get a lot of studio albums!!!
1 - Metallica_And Justice for All 2 - Queensryche_Operation Mindcrime 3 - Megadeth_So Far, So Good, ... So What 4 - Iron Maiden_Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 5 - Judas Priest_Ram It Down 6 - Van Halen_OU812 Maiden's newer albums are good, but aren't the same as the Bruce/Adrian albums from the 80s. The Maiden and Priest albums from this year weren't their best, but I still like them well enough. And Justice for All is my favorite album. Bought it the day it came out and didn't like it at first, but it definitely grew on me. I never had a problem with the production. I like the way it sounds. So Far, So Good, So What is my favorite Megadeth album. I don't understand why people have a problem with it either. I've heard Keeper a few times, but I'm not that familiar with it other than a few songs. I definitely liked Part 1 better. Eagle Fly Free is probably the best thing they've ever done, though.
Great picks for 88' Mike! Seventh Son is probably my least favourite Maiden album of the 80's, just never gravitated to it. Love And Justice For All, The New Order and So Far So Good, all amazing albums for me. So Far is the forgotten gem in Megadeth's discography for me. Need to check out some Sabbat, especially that album! For some reason I thought the glaring omission would have been South of Heaven, but thats fair enough. Never been a huge fan of State of Euphoria, too long and ploddy for me. Look forward to the next one🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@JoshKeech There is just so many in 88 I could have gone with and South of Heaven definitely could've been one. I can see why you might look at State of Euphoria the way you do really. It's certainly not South of Heaven. Funny how some thing age better than others but at the time they both seem great. Cheers mate 🤘
@@metalmickey Oh yeah, 88' is one of the best years in Metal. South of Heaven could easily have made this list. Ahh yeah, I'm glad you understand. Yeah, it's just an album I've never quite got it. For me, South of Heaven is miles better. Yeah that's true, I can totally get back in the day there wasn't much difference between them. I just think Sout of Heaven has aged much better than State of Euphoria. You're welcome mate 🤘🏻
