@music_ripple Oops, I meant the 2025 repress of Fool for the City of course

[Norbert de Jong @Norbert_de_Jong]

@music_ripple I need to go for Foghat, the most American band that is British. That 8 minutes of Slow Ride, it's just fantastic.

Speaking of which: the 2025 repress has a fantastic 1975 Chicago show as a separate LP. And it sounds amazing!

@music_ripple For me that's easy:
Montrose, Ronnie was a real Guitar Hero.
This blueprint for all things Van Halen comes from the hand of Ted Templeman, Hagar on vocals, Carmassi on drums, Bill Church on bass (father of Haunt's Trevor Church).
One of the albums of my youth.
Space Station #5!

@TheRecidivists @music_ripple I absolutely loved that one when it was released. Still a great album, probably their best.

@turbokya @music_ripple Lovely, I'll wear some body armor.

[Norbert de Jong @Norbert_de_Jong]

@music_ripple There quite a wave of thrashbands that did not get any softer at all.
Exodus, Testament, Flotsam and Jetsam and Death Angel keep on churning out albums.
Out of those I like Testament the most so I'll choose them.

@turbokya @music_ripple Seeing them in 11 days!
Loonig forward to the GSO (Great Shirtless One).

@BrianTichy Looks great, what's that at the snare position? Almost looks like a marching, that deep. And the lugs look very 80s running almost all the way through.

@music_ripple Although I like the sort of mysticism of Captain Beyond, it's Secret Treaties for me.
Career of Evil, Dominance and Submission, Flaming Telepaths, Astronomy. Stone Cold classics.

Love the Heep as well though.
Argus, well, not bad either.

Dammit.

@bigeuzi @music_ripple Which is why they named the debut The Legacy. Fantastic album.

[Norbert de Jong @Norbert_de_Jong]

@music_ripple Coming from the Southern Death Cult, to the Death Cult and then breaking as The Cult and then go back and release an album as Death Cult! Nearly full circle then.
And when they wanted to be big, they did BIG:

@DinicRastislav @music_ripple Paradise Lost is really sort of a natural successor. Taking elements from the past with Rooster and Sabbath and forging their future. Fantastic how music works like that, isn't it?

[Norbert de Jong @Norbert_de_Jong]

@music_ripple Not a movie (I don’t watch a lot of movies), but the series Treme, the New Orleans folk trying ti find a life after Katrina and how big a part music is in that.
And of course the gorgeous music itself…

@music_ripple I'll keep it European:
Artillery!

[Norbert de Jong @Norbert_de_Jong]

@music_ripple Bay Area Metal!
Promising series then this, great.

[Norbert de Jong @Norbert_de_Jong]

@TheGunblazer @music_ripple @EmmaRuthRundle She’s great. She made an album with Red Sparowes as well, severely underrated band.

[Norbert de Jong @Norbert_de_Jong]

@music_ripple Ethan Miller - Howlin Rain. Fantastic. The 3LP set of 'leftovers', man. I play it regularly, it is that good. Truth be told, there are 4 cover versions on there, but hey it's 11 originals as well.

@TheGunblazer @music_ripple Guadalcanal Diary, it has been ages since I heard that name, let alone the music. I recall bands like the Church and even the Fall that fell into the same crowd.
Talk about throwback..

[Norbert de Jong @Norbert_de_Jong]

@music_ripple @RandyHelmsUGA One of my favourite The Cure songs. That feeling of having had something, and lost it. You just have to move on, right?
