Steve at S&T Young did this challenge, and I came over here from his channel. Cool challenge. It seems difficult but fun. I’m going to watch your 80s Japanese video next and your 10 Thrash albums, too.
Great idea for a thread Tom! You really would expect the title track to be the best song for an album, but sometimes it really isn't the case. I'll definitely make a video for you, and I'm sure many others will too! 😊🤘🏻
@mercyfulmetal7324 Yeah, you would! Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense. Maybe the band when writing, thought the title track was the best song and was worthy of being the album name. Very interesting to think about 😊🤘🏻
Leuke challenge en groet vanuit zuid limburg. My list: 1. Messiah - extreme cold weather 2. Toxik - World circus 3. Jewel - La morta 4. Defender - City ad mortis 5. Exodus - pleasure of the flesh 6. Suicidal tend. - how will i laigh.. 7. Forbidden - twisted into form 8. Savatage - hall of the... 9. Atheist - Piece of time 10. Pretty maids - Future world Thought it would be hard to come to ten, but it turned out easy! Cheers, Roger (sonicheaven74)
Great idea Thomas, really looking forward to see the replies you get. on top of my head: Bathory - Twilight of the Gods Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Blind Guardian - Somewhere far Beyond Camel - Rajaz Children of Bodom - Hatecrew Deathroll Concerto Moon - Rain Forest Heavens Gate - Livin' in Hysteria Iron Maiden - 7th son of a 7th son Savatage - Gutter Ballet Gamma Ray - Somewhere out in space Havukruunu - Uinuos syömein sota Helloween - the dark ride Mago de oz - Gaia .... and the list can go on and on and on..... Is X Japan - Art of Life cheating?
Een paar goeie keuzes, maar sommige waar ik wat anders voor had gekozen. 7th Son? Echt niet! Ach, gelukkig hebben we niet allemaal dezelfde mening, zou ook zo saai zijn.
Nice idea for a thread Thomas… & some great picks in there mate! It wouldn’t have been a ‘Mercyful Metal’ video without some really obscure album featured… glad you didn’t let us down mate, lol!🤘🏻
Great idea Thomas. Some killer picks here. Hall of the Mountain King and Piece of Time are both fantastic. Will try to do a response for this. Cheers. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Rare to see an original thread these days, great idea. I look forward to the responses. While Chastain is a shredder at least he does it in the context of an actual band with vocals, great album that one. Tubla Tanka?! only you could show that one Thomas, only you lol (will be checking it out though!). On behalf of all aliens serving the human race, I thank you.
Honey. HONEY! Wake up the kids! Andy is alive again! Good point, the overal band of Chastain is well balanced, not like some other shredders. Yes, definitely check out Tublatanka! Hope you're all good man.
Great thread, Thomas. I'll definitely be filming a response 👍 My only disagreement, bearing in mind that Number Of The Beast is my favourite album ever, is I think Hallowed Be Thy Name just beats NOTB 😉
Great idea, Thomas! I'll definitely try and get on this thread. Some brilliant albums on show here, and a few I don't know. Also a couple I don't necessarily agree that the title track is the best song, but it'd be boring if we were all the same! 😂 As for Twisted Sister, I've never really dug into them properly, as I love 'I Wanna Rock', but have never really been keen on 'We're Not Gonna Take It'. Maybe I should give them a real go! Cheers! 🤘
Lol yeah, it would be a boring thread if everyone agreed on everything. Just a little inside on someones opinion and what they think is the best track.
Hi Thomas!!! that's a pretty cool idea for a challenge and so cool to see usual lesser known bands.....Tubla Tanka?? not a clue, but added to the listening list. I have heard online that Realm album and for what i remember it was an excellent one. Here are a couple: Accept "Restless & Wild"; Sabbath "Heaven & Hell", Fastway "All Fired Up";Metallica "Master of Puppets"; Anthrax "Among the Living"; Dokken "Tooth and Nail"; Motorhead "Overkill"; Scorpions "Blackout"; Acid "Acid".... cheers and be well
Excellent Thread, Thomas. Some great picks here. I may have a go at this myself, once I move back home to the rest of my collection. Under the Blade is my favourite TS album, and oddly, Stay Hungary was the last one I picked up from them. 🍻🤘
Agree on Savatage, Chastain, Athiest, Agent Steel Disagree on Iron Maiden i'd go with the ones in brackets (Hallowed), Twisted Sister (Burn in Hell) . Never heard that Artillery, Realm or that other obscure one. I thought you were doing an update video but nomatter, i'll get thinking about a response to this topic. Good one, ive not seen this done before. Sometimes we think too hard about the topic and miss good obvious ones
Very interesting topic and can't argue with some of your choices which I'd be familiar with. If I was to choose a top ten in no particular order I'd plumb for: Entombed-Left Hand Path, Obituary-Cause of Death, Unleashed-Shadows in the Deep, Cradle of Filth-The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, Dark Angel-Darkness Descends, Metallica-Master of Puppets, Finntroll-Midnattens Widunder, Gates of Ishtar-A Bloodred Path, Dimmu Borgir-Stormblåst, Immortal-Damned in Black.
Im with you on OG pressings! They sound way better and original artwork etc. Some killer picks man - Atheist, Savatage, Artillary.. Im uploading my thread response tonight!🤘
Oh wow, I really have to think about that one! Do EPs count? If I do a response video I will try to show OGs exclusively because it´s your challenge, hahaha... "Terror Squad" stands out on the Artillery album but I´m not sure about if it´s the best one on there. I will put on my OG Neat pressing now, hahaha...
No man, Terror Squad is the biggest banger on there! Show me the OGs baby! If there would be one response I'd look forward to, it would be yours. And of course, EPs are welcome. As long as they are OGs, hahaha
Ok found a few… in no particular order, OG listed 1. Running Wild - Blackhand Inn (OG Japan CD) 2. Stratovarius - Visions (OG Japan CD) 3. Heathen - Breaking The Silence (OG US Vinyl) 4. Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark (EU Vinyl reissue, US OG CD 5. Judas Priest - Painkiller EU Vinyl reissue/ US OG CD 6. Motörhead - Overkill (OG UK green Vinyl) 7. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell (OG US vinyl) 8. Saxon - Crusader (OG both UK & US vinyl) 9. Overkill - !!!F..k You!!! (OG US vinyl) 😂 10. Grave Digger - Heavy Metal Breakdown (OG German vinyl
Pretty good picks man! I see Heaven and Hell mentioned a lot, and I totally agree. I could agree with most of these. For Heathen, I would've picked Goblins Blade, but that is one of my all time favorite thrash songs!
