I don't know, for those bands. It's been a long time. I recall seeing Metallica, Megadeth on there, lots of lesser known bands (to me) at that time like say Pestilence

Possibly Controversial opinion. Raven is the best NWOBHM band despite Stay hard and The pack is back.

there is something 'poseurish' about being a thrash band for an extended period of time. How 'angry' and 'aggressive' can you be well into adulthood? Thrash and punk seem to share a similar frustration out of being a young adult.
I don't have anything against a group of guys who listened to music that was likely more similar to Load era Metallica than Kill 'Em All and decided to go back to it.
Raven is a garbage NWOBHM band so I guess this is why you're opinions are doodoo

The authenticity of angry or aggressive music isn't limited by age. The idea of middle-aged men making music about being angry teenage rebels is weird though.

They've only got one demo, but check them out anyway. I need another Iron Maiden hater on my side.
Only part time.

I was sure I was the only one here who didn't care for Iron Maiden.

Well I think they're okay actually, if overrated. The first two albums are superior to the later ones, and people probably wouldn't like them so much if it wasn't for the fact that their production is so much clearer than is the case with most NWOBHM.

I think you just enjoy saying controversial shit tbh. I came to this conclusion yesterday when you said that Dystopia is a great album after you've been shitting on classic Iron Maiden and Slayer.

You should try responding to all his comments with "Yeah! Right on! X shitty unsuccessful band is better than Y excellent successful band" and see if he stops posting.

Yeah, I don't think that the production is the main reason why people like Iron Maiden.

Iron Maiden's production was way ahead of the rest of the NWOBHM scene. Why you like them is up to you, but it would be dumb to discount that as a factor behind their massive popularity. There are many Iron Maiden fans who haven't even heard of bands like Angel Witch that would like them just as much were their music produced in a way easily accessible for mainstream listeners.
