Which album from your collection do you listen to the most? Heavy rotation for everyone depending on my moods.

[sixxswine]

First album you ever bought? With my own money, Shout At the Devil. Great record to this day, has inspired numerous degenerates...
Last album you added to your collection? Deep Puple-Fireball Expanded, by Rhino Records the Kings of reissues! Got it last night along with some others goodies...
Which album from your collection do you listen to the most? Easy, actually a tie, Glorious Burden & Motley Crue's MC '94, I can't say enough about those two records...
Which album has the best cover ever? I always dug the artwork on Maiden records, you see something new everytime you look at it again. I would have to got with Somewhere in Time. I recall looking at the LP cover for months after getting it & always finding something new... It was like looking at a pack of Camel's & looking for things within the camel. This started a bad habit. Like I can tell you things a that are within the cover of Warrant's Disty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, but that's for another time.
Did you ever buy an album just because of its cover? To tell you the truth that all I used to do from like 1986-1990. I got Motorhead's Rock N Roll & Orgasmatron that way, on LP on the same day.
Worst cover ever? The orginal Megadeth Killing is My Business... Lp Cover. It looks so dated & had a short shelf life. I like what they did with the new artwork.
An album you'd recommend anytime to anyone? It's a toss up really, I would have to say either The Scream-Let it Scream & Motley Crue's MC '94. Great records that no one ever really gave a chance & both feature one hell of a singer in John Corabi.
Which album would you recommend to your worst enemy? Luckily I have none see above.
What album do yo listen to in the car? In the car? Glorious Burden. I also tend to have soemthing from the 70's classic rock era... Most recently Montrose. Hagar had it then too...
Recommend an album from the 70s? I would have to go with Montrose-S/T.
Recommend an album from the 80s? I like Van Halen's OU812, rockwise, even if they pulled a Metallica & you can't hear Michael Anthony on there. At least I thinik he's on there?!
Recommend an album from the 90s? Megadeth-Rust in Peace
A tune for your own burial? I have been thinking about this one, I would go with
Stevie Ray Vaughan's Life by the Drop. Killer acoustic track, very appropriate for that type of occasion. You didn't ask if I would be in a KISS Kasket?! Of course not! I have been thinking of getting some kind of Aztec symbols air brushed on there for the journey...
DrillSarge, hell of a list of questions. I'm sure like most of you, you'd probably change some of these answers on a day to day basis. This is what I think right now.

 

[DrillSergeant]

Is that the kid from That 70's Show?

Probably from a 70s ad for a gay dating line...

Did you ever buy an album just because of its cover?
Yes.

Come on you coward. Which one?

A tune for your own burial?
Reborn - Slayer

Now that answer is a true classic!!! Can I quote that in my signature?

Which album from your collection do you listen to the most?
"Within The Veil" by Fear Of God got by far the most spins until now

Why am I not surprised?

You didn't ask if I would be in a KISS Kasket?!

Like I said, I'm not into merchandise. And the last thing I'd do is to spend money on $immons & $tanley even in death.

Cool tread Drillsergeant!!

DrillSarge, hell of a list of questions.

Thanks, I had hoped to have found something interesting there. Maybe I'll do a second part one day with some more questions I found in another magazine. Stay tuned...

 

[Bryant]

Here's a little something which is done regularly by a German Metal magazine. I thought this might be fun to do here on the board. I'll think about it and add my list later.

First album you ever bought?

AC/DC - "Back in Black" (first I will admit to)

Last album you added to your collection?

Metal Church - "Weight of the World" (I only own it on MP3, but since it is a definite purchase, I consider it a done deal)

Which album from your collection do you listen to the most?

Tad Morose - "Modus Vivendi"
Accept - "Metal Heart" probably holds the record of most played though.

Which album has the best cover ever?

I could really care less, but I do like fantasy a little. Yngwie's "Trilogy" was cool.

Did you ever buy an album just because of its cover?

Nope......

Worst cover ever?

Manowar..... several albums. They look silly.

An album you'd recommend anytime to anyone?

The Eagles greatest Hits Vol. II. Metalheads should love it, but so should many of fans of any genre. If we are talking about albums to recommend to any metal-head, I would say Misha Calvin's - "Evolution" or Tad Morose's - "Modus Vivendi."

Which album would you recommend to your worst enemy?

I try not to make enemies. I have a hippie/progger mentality. I try not to "hate" anything. I have a hard time tolerating Axl Rose when he opens his mouth though. Unfurtunately many like GnR so it doesn't count. How about Keel ? I would rather listen to..... just about anything. He is terrible.

What album do yo listen to in the car?

"Operation Mindcrime" is pretty cool in my van, but I listen to many.

Recommend an album from the 70s?

I have to recommend two....... Boston "Boston" because though it was stadium rock, it brought a modern guitar (and production) sound to the world. Number two is Black Sabbath "The Mob Rules." H&H might have been more popular, but I thought MR was an equal.

Recommend an album from the 80s?

Balls to the walls man !!! will have to battle Mindcrime and BiB though...... Tough to pick one.

Recommend an album from the 90s?

"The God Thing" Vanden Plas. Honorable mention.... though not in my top ten, Pearl Jam "Ten." I can't stand alternative music, but that was a fucking masterpiece. Consistant quality was what it excelled in.

A tune for your own burial?

The saddest song I can think of in the world is "The Dance" by Garth Brooks." A couple of select Goo goo Dolls song might work well too. I want everyone to get sad as hell and mourn and get it out of their system and move on because everyone dies. I don't want one of those "party" atmospheres at my burial because it stops the normal human mourning processes we all have. I'll be dead so I won't give a shit what is going on. I want those that are still alive to be able to recover as quickly as possible.
