Good Time to be a metal fan with a turntable


What a great time it is to be a metal fan. In the past two months I have picked up Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets remastered at 45 rpm, Led Zeppelin The Song Remains the Same re-done by Jimmy Page,Iron Maiden Somewhere Back in Time: 1980-1989, Ac/DC Let There Be Rock, Rush Permanent Waves re-mastered(with Moving Pictures coming out in the fall), amd The Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bullocks(yeah I know they we're technically punk but this album should be in any metal heads collection).

So my question is what would you guys like to see re-issued?

I know for myself I would like to see re-issues of the first two Ozzy albums, and Judas Priest-Screaming for Vengeance.

Not really metal but - alice cooper billion dollar babies and kiss destroyer on 45 RPM!
I agree - If you have to explain the joke, then you're telling it to the wrong crowd.

Any genre impose limitations - it is when you cross genres that music becomes 'not so sound alike'.

People who don't understand a certain genre always have that same comment - 'it all sound alike...'...

I listen to all kind of genres (because I am an audiophile and hence like to listen to the sound as much as the music sometimes, to see what my system can do etc...)...not so much blues and country, but jazz and classical and folk...granted, progressive and hard rock most of the time!

By the way - when I check out the new country music, much of it sounds exactly like a watered down southern hard rock a la molly hatchet etc to me...

Everyone that enjoys metal should check out Judas Priest Nostradamus deluxe set (Best Buy only) with three GOOD SOUNDING (IMHO) LPs as well as the 2 CD's (expensive but...)...

Oh, well - I am heading back to the 'POWER CABLE SWAMP' where I belong (I am trying to figure out which PC will make the least damage in my wallet while optimizing performance in my system...)...

Have a marvelous day!
