Song of the day

[exxos]

Not my normal style.. but used to listen to the screaming albums, British steal, can't remember the 3rd. Used to listen to them on my way to work on a pc from drive plugged into my car radio. My garage at the time knew me as "that kid with the CDROM drive" The cdrom was the only thing which would play without skipping on every bump in the road!!

Thing is, those 3 albums, if listened in the correct order, actually tell a very long story. I think screaming for vengeance was when he tried to find love and got betrayed... Then turned to crime etc pretty impressive that such a long story is told over 3 albums .





EDIT: Point of Entry I think was the 3rd...

Guess I'm going to be starting that tomorrow now

I really like:

Take These Chains
You've Got Another Thing Coming
Devils Child

I've been a fan of these guys for just under 40 years ....



Have managed to see them 5 times in concert in London and also a wonderful gig in Berlin back in 2002

Cheers,

Rich.

Love that song as well! They really knew how to make music back then!

[felicemaggie]

The guys are currently no longer touring, but yes - they've written some wonderful music since then too, largely up to the present day.

This one's from 2021 -



This one's a bit newer -



The most recent album is called Resist and is worth a listen. It's available at the usual places including streaming.

Cheers,

Rich.

Still a huge fan of Priest, grew up with their music and as a lad from the home of metal (the Black Country), it was kind of inevitable - loved Screaming and the Defenders of the Faith album back in the 80s. They reinvented themselves in the 90s with the Painkiller album, the title track of which is the true definition of a metal track ...

I know they did a lot of songs. I've not checked any out for a long time. I know I really loved the albums I got , but I went to their next albums and just never got into them. I also went backwards as they did a couple earlier ones than I had. I mostly tend to skip into oldskool in the 90s

I noticed that the Glastonbury list has been released today ...

... whilst it is agreed that some of the headliners are a bit poor (apart from The Prodigy), looking further down the list there's some decent names, including:-

Gary Numan
The Selecter
Kneecap
Wet Leg
Amyl & the Sniffers
Fatboy Slim

Hopefully these acts will be shown as part of the BBC broadcast lineup.

Cheers,

Rich.

Fatboy slim? I wonder if he uses an Atari on stage these days

[Darklord]

I love "Cars" by Gary Numan. Iconic.
