Ah bugger it - I'm not reusing my erroneous post above for THIS memory.

Whitesnake's absolute BEST appearance at Donington.

I cried (as did many others) when Coverdale cried during "Ain't no love . . . " as we all sang our hearts out to honour him, the band we loved, and the fandom that rejected all trends & fashion.

One of those memories that will be with me 'til the day I die (pun intended).

I still have the (very thin) T-shirt, programme, and ticket . . . and TONS of photos of the bands on stage (including Dio and ESPECIALLY Sister), along with me mates in various states of rapture!

Happy, emotional, "grateful for being alive" days.

Re-living it now by watching the (somewhat edited - regrettably) video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glAS1efUbGY

Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons - Kings of the Asylum

OK - 'tis a pleasant day, as I find myself inspired to post another entry in the "no-one else gives a **** what Spike posts here but he does it for his own record keeping" thread.

Just 12hours ago, the wee boyos (+1) made the entire effin' album available on ye olde YouTube - and DAMN does it smack you in the face sideways with a 10lb hammer!

I loved the last album, but THIS - OMFG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My vinyl was mailed from the UK on Tuesday - and this was a VERY pleasant surprise while I wait for it to arrive.

Serious chills - effin' AMAZING !

Hey, I almost always give it a listen. And I tried every track on this one.
It's good, it just doesn't grab me. Only one that got my attention was Schizophrenia.
I think the problem for me, is they just don't come across well in studio. I like watching/listening to their live performances.
They just sound better live.

Would have thought "Maniac " would appeal - major punk vibes

I love the whole album - hairs standing on end on very 1st listen of every single track (at various points).

Tracks 8 & 9 are ONLY "weaker" tracks for me (so you should like those too )

Here's the 3rd official vid - also released today . . . another banger (Motörhead spliced with AC/DC) PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS - Strike The Match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAiL9xxDcQs

Again, perfectly good song, just not one I would seek out to listen to.

Probably a lot to do with my current head-space.
I've spent the summer feasting on concert videos from Iron Maiden and The Warning
So I'm eating up bass-heavy tunes, and just loving the groove The Warning has.

I love it when Elizabeth "discovers" a song that I admire so much, especially when it's one that has important/emotional memories associated with it.

She titles the analysis as "Heart's greatest masterpiece!" - and while I wouldn't say that myself, this album (1987's "Bad Animals"), along with it's predecessor (1985's "Heart") . . . are easily my faves by them.

This song has 2 pleasant "musical equivalents" of those "jump scares" you get in horror movies . . . wonderful to see Elizabeth's reaction to those as always. I'll admit the 2nd one (Anne's "scream") isn't made any worse by Nancy's (ahem) attributes & flexibility - but OMG has that woman got a voice-and-a-half!

I haven't watched her reaction because I got burnt out on that song in the 80's and just can't stand it anymore. Same with 'These Dreams'.
Both were so overplayed I just became repulsed by them.
Which is a shame, because I really do enjoy Heart. Though I must say I prefer their classic stuff over the 80's stuff.

Not sure if you saw the notification, but I did catch this awesome video Friday.

Other than that I've just been farther down The Warning rabbit hole.

Oh, and impatiently waiting to hear the new stuff from Bruce and hoping he tours somewhere near me.
