Shropshire Slasher April 28, 2009 Share Shropshire Slasher Member April 28, 2009 So I feel the forums have been a bit, well, slow lately. So, I wanted to start a music thread. This is pretty wide open to your own input... but to start it off: Here is an album I recently resurrected into my rotation: You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_After_Death It's probably the single best snapshot of what Iron Maiden was in the first half of the '80s: One of the BEST rock bands of the decade. I've always felt it was a bit of a shame that they get tossed around as sort of a poster child for brainless heavy metal. Under all the slightly silly Dungeons & Dragons imagery you have VERY talented musicians playing some VERY well written material. Their first 5 albums (where the material on this album comes from) in particular shows how good heavier rock music can be. Notice I don't call this "heavy metal". I'm with Lemmy on this one: "It's all rock & roll." Also, as an example of a live recording, this is just masterful. Sound quality is amazing (recording and mix) and the musicians are at their peak. The only other live albums I personally own that come close are from the Allman Brothers (At Fillmore East and One Way Out). Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonfly April 28, 2009 Share dragonfly Member April 28, 2009 (edited) Bought this several months ago - one of my all time favourites. Wiki's info on them is good too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antestor I find it so fascinating reading about because they're one of the first "Christian black metal" bands (which in itself is a discussion) and were met with hostility from both sides (Christian and the metal scene). This album is one of my personal favourite works of art. Edited April 28, 2009 by dragonfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
