On this day 25 years ago Judas Priest released "Demoliton" 💿
It's hard to believe how long ago it has been! Recently on the channel we covered how Tim "Ripper" Owens has made it clear that it bothers him his era of the band has gone virtually ignored by the band. What did you think of this one? 🤔
On this day in 1992, Megadeth released their most commercially succesful album "Countdown to Extinction" peaking at #2 on Billboard and eventually going 2x platinum 💿
What did you think of it? 🤔 I consider it a classic, although a departure from Megadeth's classic thrash sound to compete with what Metallica was doing at the time. I'm a bigger fan of Youthanasia.
On this day 40 years ago, David Lee Roth released "Eat 'Em and Smile" 💿
What did you think of it? 🤔 It's got some classics and a killer lineup of musicians. Fun fact is that up until very recently, Vixen would come out to the stage for live shows with "Yankee Rose" playing.
On this day TWENTY years ago, Andrew W.K. released one of his most experimental albums, "Close Calls with Brick Walls" 💿
Wow! Time seriously flies, because I remember when this was very new prior to interviewing Andrew. It has a lot of great stuff, some really weird stuff, but "You Will Remember Tonight" especially is a beautiful song and an all-time classic. What did you think of it? 🤔
Rest In Peace to guitarist Shaun Glass. He is most known as an original member of Chicago band Soil, but I actually know his work best from Dirge Within. Their first album was produced by the great Edsel Dope and featured the late great Wayne Static (RIP to Wayne as well.) I'm sure some of you will also appreciate the Michael Schenker Group shirt in the pic.
Shaun passed away at only 57 after suffering complications following a stroke.
On this day in 1999, Slipknot released their self-titled debut (not counting their first independent release which sounded nothing at all like this) 💿
I remember being so intrigued by all of it, and at the time feeling like I'd never heard something so heavy in my life. This band took off very quickly, and if you were there for it, you remember. Years later I got to interview Corey Taylor on ‪@BattlelinePodcast‬ with Kris Paronto and it was incredibly cool to be able to tell him that. What did you think of it? 🤔
On this day in 1995, Bon Jovi released "These Days" 💿
What did you think of it? 🤔 Not my favorite personally, and a further slide into Bon Jovi abandoning the earlier hard rock sound, but "Hey G-d" is a killer opening track.

On this day way back in 1982, Judas Priest released "Screaming for Vengeance" in the U.S. 💿
Is it a classic? 🤔 "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" was their biggest single ever and has remained a staple on classic rock radio.
