I was reminded somewhat recently that Ace Frehley's "New York Groove" is a cover. Not sure if it just slipped my mind or I never knew? Krokus' "Stayed Awake All Night" is another one I remember within the last couple years... Non-metal-wise however, I just learned a few minutes ago that...

I wrote down about 15 of my absolute favorites off the top of my head, and tried to keep it 1 per group/artist (but mentioned a couple that can swap in/out on any given day): (not in any order) Dio - Holy Diver Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind (or Powerslave) Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith...

1) Symphony X - Underworld (barely beat out QR) 2) Queensryche - Condition Human 3) Ghost Ship Octavius - s/t (was on track for #1 earlier in the year!) 4) Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls 5) Level 10 - Chapter One 6) W.A.S.P. - Golgotha 7) Ghost - Meliora 8) Europe - War of Kings 9) Slayer -...

RIP. Legend. Great pic, saw that one this morning while looking around....

I definitely don't hate it. I didn't enjoy the last one really much at all, but this one has stuff I like. Most tracks are pretty solid. I don't notice Holt all that much on it, but I was surprised how much I do like it!! Also enjoying the new Maiden and Symphony X albums a lot... and...

Check out 'Level 10 - Chapter One.' Really good power metal. I was surprised how good this is. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/level-10-featuring-russell-allen-mat-sinner-debut-album-chapter-one-due-in-january/

Just like a month ago when I discovered that Loudness was released back in June, last week I came across another album I forgot was coming out back in September. That album was a side project by Mike LePond of Symphony X called "Mike LePond's Silent Assassins." For my tastes, this album has it...

Although I don't think I've ever consciously played my Re-Load cd, I bought both that and Load on the first day of release. Load is a pretty good album. Doesn't deserve all the criticism it gets...

I always feel my list gets smaller each year. I definitely do not listen to as much stuff as I used to. My #1 album of the year: Sanctuary - The Year The Sun Died. This just grew on me and I fell in love with it. I have seen people say it's just a Nevermore album. Yeah, it kinda is, but I'm...

I have all their albums. I'd love for them to pass through the NYC area.

Enjoy. I would imagine that Pagan's Mind and that guitar player (don't recall his name) alone would be worth the price of admission. :OMG:

This is one of my favorites from the album. I picked up on the lyrics last week....pretty clever. :)

Very good album. Great song. This one is good too. Killer guitar solo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlOxJ7KW4dA Though I do like Train of Thought and have checked out everything they've ever done, I do not like much other than Images and Words. Labrie has always been my main issue...

Ditto. For some reason I was looking for a Kix album. Whether it's the one or not, I haven't seen that TKO cover in a LONG time.
