What's you favorite 80s band that no longer plays?

Yeah Us Brits think the same.

We have a poxy festrival download thats WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY too commercial and its like a list of who the record companies are sucking up to.

The European Festivals for metal are......extreme and show us all up.
I dont regard myself as European. I live on an Island :D

Hear hear!!! I like Lostprophets and The Offspring but them headlining over Judas Priest??? WTF?????? That is just wrong! :zombie:
 
Dude Lizzy Borden is alive & kicking!They just played the Sweden Rock festival and their newest video was just released their second video off their latest CD "Appointment with Death" which came out last year and almost got a Grammy nonination.

You are absolutely right. What a great Lizzy's album. I am blasting it right now just to numb the pain of Aja and Heather leaving the Maidens.
 
Helloween is still around today.

Their most recent CD came out last November around Thanksgiving Time, called "Gambling with the Devil". Very good CD. I highly recommend it. A lot of good songs on there.


They have a new singer with Andi Deris from Pink Cream 69.

They have a new drummer, and they have a new guitarist Sascha.

Marcus (the original bassist) and Michael Wiekialth (the original rhythm guitarist) are still there in the band.

Kai Hansen left years ago to make Gamma Ray.

Michael Kiske left years ago to do some solo CDs and to help out on a few EdGuy CDs.

2 of the guys in Masterplan played in Helloween during the mid to late 90's.

1 guy in the German Speed Metal band called MetalliuM played in Helloween at one time as well.
