I've got a little profect I've been wanting to do for the last year or so and thought I'd see if you guys here on the old school brd would like in on it. Are any of you guys familiar with the 60's comps called Nuggets or Pebbles? They are very cool, they track down some of the most obscure 60's garage/poppy songs you can imagine. The Nuggets have even been released as 2 seperate boxsets, and Pebbles did like 28 volumes on vinyl. Anyway, I'd like to do something like this for 80's underground metal and with the knowledge that's floating around on this brd it could be killer.
We could take our time and make suggestions for songs/bands and vote on the track lists. I'd like to somehow do it with liner notes that has info on each band, nothing big, just a small bio. Have some one design covers and the whole 9 yards. Get it all together and post it for download and then move onto the next vol. Everyone have an input and all of use vote on stuff.
This would be a good way for all of us to hear some stuff we've never heard, plus it keeps the music alive. And who knows, maybe they will take off and other people will get into checking them out. That's how the nuggets thing started, just some fans who wanted to keep the music alive.
The ground rules would be that it's 80's metal only and the more obscure (but good) bands. Indie, self released, demos.... anything. Any styles are cool, we could even try to do the volumes by style or scene.
The title I've been kicking around is Metal Bolts Vol. what ever.... kinda in the style of nuggets and pebbles.
So would anyone be interested in helping on this.... or am I a big geek with way too much time on his hands?
Track no 1 on the first vol will be..... Jag Panzer - Warfare (Ample Destruction)
