The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued

Much of Maiden’s more wonderfully melodic stuff always struck me in a similar way to Wishbone Ash, with the guitars intertwining in and out....

Can you recommend a particular album that exemplifies the above?

@stuartk

If you’re looking for melodic riffs, etc, here’s some stuff

 

James Murphy (from "Testament") - Touching the Earth

Whitesnake - Sailing Ships

Whitesnake - Is this love

Many a times, i’ve wished i had Coverdale’s voice.

 

 

Or , if looking at Maiden specifically...a few of these come to mind

Iron Maiden - Strange World

Surprised to not see any Devin Townsend enthusiasts...his recent releases are very high quality. Not all of it is heavy....most of it is very interesting....

@johnnotkathi - Hi - I've lived in San Francisco since 1973 and was a regular denizen of the Mab (I started going in late '76 when Jerry Paulsen was still the promoter of punk gigs there a couple nights a week), and have known Jello since he first moved to SF. I also used to shoot concert photos at venues from the Mab to Oakland Stadium. Which band were you in? I may have seen you.... 

@larsman Hey!  I lived as a kid in Sunnyvale and went to college at Sonoma State.  Got into the scene in high school, about '77.  Out of 2,000 kids, there were 3 of us into punk.  LOL.  My band is Tower of Swine.  Played a ton up in Sonoma County (with the likes of Victims Family, etc) and gigs in SF and the south bay.
