Ratt-Out of the Cellar (much better than I thought it would be, current fave-'Lack of Communication', squueeakk)
Faster Pussycat-1st album ( I knew I still liked this-eternal fave-'Don't change that song')
Exodus-Bonded by Blood (why more serial killers don't listen to this escapes me. Brutal fave.."This aint about no Goldfish..., an it aint about no Tuna fish.... and it AINT ABOUT NO TROUT..rout..out" -'Piranha'
and of course, as you say, the perennially underrated Diamond Head, fave from the album that killed them the first time-'Knight of the Swords'

As to the matter at hand, No I stand by Rage for Order as their best album, mainly for 'Surgical Strike', which prefigures the whole Mindcrime sound, 'London' and the none more creeptastic, synthy 'Gonna get Close to You'. Mindcrime to my ears now groans beneath the weight of its own conceit, mind you, 'The Needle Lies' still rocks.

Now where did I put that Crimson Glory album?

Hey there my old friend from about nearly 20 years ago, lol, god is it that long!!!! or are we that old.

Well Ratt was always a band i loved, Warren Dermartini guitar playing was so awsome, i played those cd's to death, still playing ratt when i pick up the guitar, Lack of Communication was one of my faves to play and your in love, those riffs gave me the inspiration to keep playing, although im not really playing guitar as much now, should really start jamming again with someone, playing older stuff, guess we both got different music tastes from all our friends, remember going back about at least 16 or 17 years we were both listening to Celtic Frost and Hell Hammer, when you were living with your granparents, think we tried to write a few songs, i remember a few of yours , especialy the drums, lol.

You couldnet get into Slayer though, but we were both Big Venom fans, do you remember going back to the Venue 21 years ago before the Place, banging our heads to Chemical Warefare, drinking snakebite and black, those were the days.

Yeah I still listen to Rage for Order, but i think it was definetly mindcrime that made the big differnce in quality and sound of recording, i guess the image change was better as well, but musically they were the masters of there time, it was really the origanl seattle sound before Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains.


MMMMMM, Crimson Glory, they were poor mans Queesryche, pretty sure i still have those two albums.


Whate are you listening to now?

Have you heard of Evidence One and Furyon yet?


Will have to meet up sometime.


Later

I have to say I am a big fan of some of Queensrych's song but not other's. Great band anyhow, look forward to seeing them with Thin Lizzy.

[EchelonDivision]

Queensryche have cancelled all European and UK gigs.

Thin Lizzy will be playing alone unless a new support gets announced soon.

Diamond Head are supporting now, cant stand this band, but Pierre Von Mondragon will love them for sure, who would have thought one of his favorite band's from 20 years ago playing in Aberdeen.

Fuckin Hell, but Sean Harris isn't in them now, and I'm in Glasgow anyway, bad timing.
Thats bad news for you Daz though, even if you've seen them a few of times. So thats 2 bands playing without their original singers, hmm.

Yep bad news about Diamond Head playing, I'm only going to see John Sykes playing guitar anyway, im not worried who sings, only who plays guitar, and i loved him in Blue Murder and his solo Cd's, he is a good singer anyway.

[Pierre Von Mondragon]

I had the Blue Murder lp and thought it was three quarters really good, I saw Sykes play with Whitesnake in 83, sure you were at that one too Daz, crazy Cozy Powell drum solo if I remember correctly.
