The Metal Thread

[OzzyKP]

I'm starting to seek out and get into some of the old NWOBHM stuff like Saxon, Iron Maiden, King Diamond and such. I need more though, some of it is really good (some of it is crap too of course)

I'm gonna try to find some of those Judas Priest tracks from their new album. I can't get a clean copy of Revolution on limewire though, they are all corrupted... I haven't had this problem with limewire yet, damn it better not end up f.cked up like kazaa.

Have you tried bearshare to get music?

[OzzyKP]

Someone just mentioned that to me the other day. I might give it a shot. Limewire has been working spectacularly though until this one song.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

It has worked well for me. there is one thats free or you can upgrade to the pro and pay like 5 bucks a month. I use the free one and it has worked great so far.

I use DC++. The easiest way to get whole albums, and it always works

Namaste, judging from the text he does seem a bit on the twitchy side... The link you posted was awesome I use BNR Metal (www.bnrmetal.com) but that one is not nearly as comprehensive.

[Namaste]

Aye, my friend. Twitchy to say the least.

Plus, I'll never forgive him for giving such a poor review of Katatonia's Dance of December Souls album! One of my favorite albums from one of my favorite bands! gah!

I use bnr metal. That's not comprehensive!! They seem to have more bands that I never could believe to have existed.

BNR Metal - 1 400 bands

The Metal Archives - 22 119 bands!

I rest my case

Yeah but how can you not love a band that has lyrics like "may your sword stay wet like the young girl in her prime"?

For a second there, I read "big hairy boobs" and was about to call you a freak



In any case - the metal archives is HUGE.

It even contains several Israeli bands that were set up by my classmates and peers, which had an active life of some... 9 months...

Aside from what Metallica covered, Diamond Head have quite a few good songs. I used to have a tape of a couple of their albums that this guy gave me when I was in England. Unfortunately I lost it a couple of years ago. I can recommend "Lightning to the Nations" if you can find it though.

[OzzyKP]

Cool, I'll check it out

Predicatably I just so far have Am I Evil, Blitzkrieg, and Helpless, but keep the suggestions coming, I want to check out more of their stuff. And other NWOBHM bands too.

[Sirotnikov]

I second that one.

Ishmael is another excellent song.

If you want a single disc- buy the BBC best of collection for Diamond Head - though I'm disappointed that they missed out on a couple of good ones, and that they pretty cleanly put all the heavier songs on CD1 and all the rest on CD2, which is a bad mix.
