I know that this is off topic and all, but does anyone else find Daemoness' avatar as delectable and inviting as I do? Amazing pic.

I wonder how many times you and I were both in L'Amours at the same time! Too bad we didn't know each other back then, or else we could've had some drinks and commented on hot metal chicks' feet, or at least their steel-toed studded boots. That was always the one thing that sucked most about the metal scene, no sexy feet on display!

Jack, I was either in the PIT or running away from skinheads back then. I don't remember seeing too many open-toe shoes from the girls back then either. I did love LaMours though, even if the train ride through Brooklyn was a bit creepy at times.
Regarding the top 5 artists list, I would have to replace Seurat with El Greco, but that's just my personal taste.

I saw him preform with Sol.Illaquists of Sound earlier this year. Best concert I've ever been to (suck on that Rolling Stones and The Who!). The thing about the Sol.Illaquists of Sound is that they can preform the fucking roof off, but some of their songs' lyrics are a bit lame.
And yeah, the Notwist stuff is quite pleasureable.

I grew up listening to KISS, then cut my teeth on groups like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. After that I made the natural segue into Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, and Overkill.
My roots are deep in metal, but I also like Return to Forever, Frank Zappa, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Liquid Tension, and anything else that takes a great amount of talent to pull off.
Top five? Impossible, it'd change by the hour.
Hey, any metalheads remember Wrathchild America? "Climbin' the Walls" and "3D" have to be two of my top favorite metal albums of all time. The drummer Shannon Larkin now plays for Godsmack. If you're into metal and have never heard Wrathchild America, go now, go and get you some.

You just took me on a trip down memory lane in a major way, Bondo. I feel like I just had my memory jogged with a toilet plunger! hehe I don't think the name Wrathchild America would have crossed my mind again in what's left of my lifetime if you hadn't just mentioned it right here and now. The fact is though that Wrathchild America was my drummer's favorite band at the time that he and I started our first band together back in high school in 1990. The Climbin' the Walls album was definitely always in heavy rotation in his Walkman and they were one of his key influences at the time. I never really got into them much myself as I was already knee-deep into the likes of Maiden and Helloween by then, but damn did that name ring a bell.

Wrathchild America - I worked for Atlantic for several years and they were on the label, so I saw them a few times. Not my cup of tea, though. I preferred heavier metal - death and thrash.
CJ - Helloween? Another trip down memory lane. How about that Walls of Jericho album!

Absolutely love it! In fact, I love all of the pre-Keeper recordings that they released prior to 1987 back when Kai Hansen was still lead vocalist. I used to frequently start off my nand's rehearsal sessions with a quick run thru of "Ride The Sky" as a matter of fact. My all-time favorite recording of theirs would have to be the Judas EP as that one had absolutely killer tracks on it like "Judas" and "Victim of Fate". I don't mean to knock Michael Kiske though, because I love much of the material on the Keeper of the 7 Keys albums, but it's just a different and perhaps more mainstream sound for them. Vintage Helloween (1984-1986) on the other hand was as metal as metal gets.

Yup, I have to agree with everything that you said.

Here's something out of stupidity for us Old Skewl metal heads. My buddy and I fabricated a fake fan club called:
The King-Wrath-Iron-Priest-Mega-Over-Scatter-Bourne-Van-Slay-Anthra-Nuclea-Talli-Testa-Ryche fan club
Which covered our favorite bands at the time (circa 1990) King Diamond, Wrathchild America, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Overkill, Scatterbrain, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, Metallica, Testament, Queensryche.
