What a great time it is to be a metal fan. In the past two months I have picked up Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets remastered at 45 rpm, Led Zeppelin The Song Remains the Same re-done by Jimmy Page,Iron Maiden Somewhere Back in Time: 1980-1989, Ac/DC Let There Be Rock, Rush Permanent Waves re-mastered(with Moving Pictures coming out in the fall), amd The Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bullocks(yeah I know they we're technically punk but this album should be in any metal heads collection).
So my question is what would you guys like to see re-issued?
I know for myself I would like to see re-issues of the first two Ozzy albums, and Judas Priest-Screaming for Vengeance.
As a side note- I caught Motorhead live, opening for Dio. The worst live performance ever (Motorhead), by far. Outrageously loud, impossible to make-out any lyrics, or music for that matter. I had to leave after about 10 minutes. Came back for Dio- light years ahead. I cannot possibly understand, how anyone could be a fan!!! Just my opinion.
"Metal" as it were, came a bit after my time. However as a teen I was a fan of Black Sabbath (don't ask me why but it had something to do with Tony Iommi's guitar sound which I used to call "the wall of electricity"). From the 70's I'd like to see: Deep Purple - Machine Head, and Who Do We Think We Are Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs, For Earth Below Black Sabbath - Volume 4 Journey - Look into the Future (1st Journey, before pop sound) Bad Co - ? Van Halen 1st UFO -? maybe something by Hawkwind?
