I really like Painkiller, too (Sad Wings of Destiny is my fav album of theirs).

"80's hair-metal bands"

Fuck yeah!

No shame in that!!!

I'm prolly one of the few who liked Diano better than Dickinson (Maiden) & Bon Scott over...whoever took his place in AC/DC  8)

AC/DC with Bon Scott is definitely more to my liking than Brian Johnson AC/DC. Of course, I still like a lot of the stuff from the post-Scott era.

Yeah - I don't *dislike* BJ('s)  ;)

...I just prefer Bon Scott - same w/ Maiden...Dickinson's got a hell of a voice & an impressive range (comparable w/ Sebastian Bach-one of my favorite 'raw' voices); I just liked Diano/earlier albums better...maybe because it's what I was exposed to 1st?

On that note -while I wouldn't call Van Hagar "horrible"...IMHO; they just lost that VH chemistry w/o DLR.

Ha, I picked up the AC/DC Bonfire box set years ago and it's really cool. Lots of early takes and alternate takes. The book inside talks about Bon Scott and his life and on one of the CDs at the end of Ride On is a bunch of sound clips of Bon giving interviews. Really neat stuff. I still don't have all of AC/DC's Bon Scott albums, but eventually I'll finish that off.

Paul Di'Anno was pretty good. I like Dickinson better, of course (the guy is a badass), but Di'Anno was pretty awesome and I would have loved to see more Di'Anno maiden albums.

I'm like the opposite on all of those, lol. I like Brian Johnson better in AC/DC, I like Dickinson better in Maiden, and I prefer Van Hagar over Crackhead-Roth.

I'm opposite anyone whos posted yet haha. I just don't like either vocalist of ACDC, or the guitarist in the little schoolboy outfit (I can never remember his name), nor do I like Van Halen in any form (other than that one song Hot For Teacher).
And I guess if I had to pick a favorite for Maiden, it would be Dickinson. Just because I also like his solo albums. But I almost never listen to either lol  :P

I always like asking which vocalist people liked more in Cannibal Corpse, Chris Barnes or George Corpsegrinder Fisher.
I love both of them, theres not a CC song I dont love. But overall, I like Barnes more as a vocalist. They are both brutal, but Chris Barnes gutturals were way deeper, AND he wrote his own lyrics. Fisher has never written a single song for CC. I'm not sure if he wrote lyrics while he was in Monstrosity or not.

I notice people always bring up Paul and Bruce when it comes to Maiden.  I have got to be one out of like the five people on the planet that actually likes Blaze Bayley.  No one singer is my favorite, but they all have one hell of a dynamic that definitely sets them apart from one another.  Different eras I guess.   :P

As far as Cannibal Corpse goes I'm really not a fan.  So I have no idea who your talking about, sorry.  :-\

This band is practically unheard of. And it's a crime since this song is so incredibly awesome:


It's a nice mix of Black Metal and Melo-Death.

So uh.

Who the heck is Voivod? I picked up a deluxe version of their "War and Pain" album today and haven't listened to it yet.
