"The Number of the Beast" episode is awesome. Very well done. Love the interviews with the producers at the mixing board. Many more documentaries of other classic rock albums as well.

I have the Judas Priest one, definitely an interesting doc to watch.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

I have not found the JP one yet, but the Maiden one IS awesome. I'd also like to throw in a plug for the one on Zappa's Overnight Sensation & Apostrophe. That stuff is the bee's knees! (imo, of course!)

 

[The Fiddler]

The Number of the Beast one is the only one I've seen, and I think it's terrible.

Fair enough. But what specifically did you find so terrible about it?

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

I have the PRIEST and MAIDEN DVD's. Love them both.

 

[Jasonic]

All of it, to be honest. Maybe I should give it another watch, but I remember really disliking it.


I am curious about the other Classic Album DVDs.

I still don't think you answered the question.

Was it too concise?
Were the interviews bad?
Were you looking for more footage?

I think I saw some of Metallica's on VH1, and I thought it seemed a bit boring, which might be Pate's issue with the Maiden.

Isn't there an ACE OF SPADES one?

I wish Painkiller was more acceptable in the mainstream as Judas Priest's "classic" album.

The same, too, goes for Seventh Son or Powerslave for Iron Maiden.

I don't really remember, I just remember hating it.

Seems odd. Just to have the opportunity to see some of that footage and to hear Martin Birch talk about the sessions and play bits from it is completely fascinating.

One of the classics indeed! My favorite JP album by a large margin.

British Steel was the album that broke Priest into the US market.

Same with #OTB for Maiden.

Painkiller came out during a recession.
Anyone remember OPERATION ROCK R ROLL tour???

If you want to know why a poker hand of Aces and Eights is called the, "Dead Man's Hand," then watch this video...

I seen that tour at the World Theater or whatever it was called back then. Who was on that? Priest, Alice Cooper, Motorhead, Metal Church and somebody else. I wanna say Aldo Nova but I am not sure. Damn, that was almost 20 years ago!

 

[SavaRon]

I also remember getting this. Why I still have it is anybody's guess?

Back to the topic... I love the behind the scenes stuff. I've seen the JP,IM, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Zappa, and more. Always interesting to see how these classics were made.

 

[Orfanos]

I have the British Steel DVD. And another one with the "making of" of "Machine Head" by Deep Purple. Very interesting stuff.

 

[Logan5]

I still have that Operation RnR promo tape too - haven't listened to in ages though
