Great live sound on this one.

You ain't kidding

Same here.

Gotta go with Birmingham. Everything really comes from that.

Though I love Gothenburg as well.

London - Hendrix, Maiden, Deep Purple, T-Rex, Cream/Clapton, Bananarama, Bowie, Foghat, Queen, Motorhead.

that mapofmetal has me feeling stunted. I either admit I like Glam Metal or I get stuck in the 70s. Visual Kei? yeah... I can ****s with that

I hadn't seen that before. thanks for the reminder

One of my favorite Priest songs. The early stuff is really heavy for it's time.

One of my favorite older Priest tunes with some SERIOUS drumming from a young Simon Phillips. Hard to believe this was recorded in early '77.

Also one of my favorite Priest tracks. Sin After Sin is top 5 for me as far as their catalog.

This is one is a bit more updated.

Forgot to mention that Sin After Sin ends with Dissident Aggressor (later covered by Slayer) which is one of their heaviest tunes in the early years.

Hell yeah...one of my favorites again with a 19 year old Simon Phillips working the drums.

I'm a drummer and Simon Phillips happens to be one of my favorites. Here is on The Michael Schenker Group record in 1980. This is a good song.

Funny.

I usually mostly talk about my collection in terms of how much of their catalog I have. With Priest, Sabbath, Dio - I have their entire collections through all the lineup changes and everything. One of those I've never mentioned is the Scorpions. I have almost everything they've done with the exception of some of the later stuff.

But I also have a ton of albums in a 2nd tier where I just prefer certain lineups. For example, I really like Motorhead best with Eddie. I have a boxed set of the UFO Chrysalis years. Everything they did with Michael Schenker. He's one of my favorite guitarists.

I was SO into the first two Michael Shenker solo records. He's definitely a great guitarist and one of my favorites as well.

To wrap up the day I've spent listening to old records with Simon Phillips on them, here's one more with my favorite guitar player ever (RIP) on a song he co-wrote, again in 1980. It's not metal but it definitely rocks.
