Helloween

[spawn]

Was it just because he got fired? Or did he have a lot of other problems too? How come they fired him anyway?

Questions, questions..

 

[Joe Salami]

Apparently he suffered from schizophrenia, but refused to take his medicine. Took drugs and alcohol instead.

Soon enough, he got fired from the band. Then he went his own way as well.

Sad.

 

[spawn]

That is sad

I need to get more Helloween. The only album I won (or have heard) is The Dark Ride, which I love.

 

[Joe Salami]

Keeper 1 and 2 should be your first stop.

Or perhaps High Live. It is a good overview of the early Deris years.

Ahh, stuff it. Just get them all.

Not too keen on "Walls of Jericho", probably because my copy doesn't work properly.

I like "Keeper Part 1" lots.

"Keeper Part 2" RULES. "I Want Out" ROCKS.

"Live in the UK" was the first I'd heard of them. LOVED IT.

"Pink Bubbles" is OK. Certainly nothing special.

"Master of the Rings" is OK. Haven't listened to it much though.

"High Live" is OK. Haven't listened to it much though.

"Time of the Oath" RULES.

"Better Than Raw" RULES.

"Metal Jukebox" is good.

"The Dark Ride"... can't say I've listened to it much, but didn't impress me from what I can recall.

Haven't got "Chameleon".

Yes it is, but more importantly it has a cover of Cream's "White Room". Great song. Can't remember what other songs they have, apart from ABBA, the Beatles and the Scorpions.

 

[Bucko]

Spiff are you serious Abba & the Scorpians .

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

What Scorpions song???

Scorpions are metal gods!!!!!

Better Than Raw is great. Metal Jukebox ain't too bad. Get another album before you get that one though. Hehe i like the German accent on From Out of Nowhere. Damn good cover of it though.

 

[Bucko]

Spiff thanks for the full track listing .

 

[phlogiston]

Now I'm a big fan of White Room, and I put it up there with the best songs ever written.

That said, it's an easy song to absolutely destroy. I just hope Clapton, Bruce and Baker never hear this version.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

White Room rocks!!

Demons & Wizards' cover is pretty good but nothing will beat the original, its a classic

RIP ingo...

*glug* resurrected from 2002. Seven years - nice!

 

[Goreripper]

*Ultimate glug* A newb and a resurrected thread! I'm pretty sure Bucko's original question has been answered by now.

 

[Spiff]

The most surprising thing for me is just how many people had heard virtually no Helloween at that time.
