I worked for Sanctuary Music at this time in the Production Dept. This was the 1st big tour I helped put together. My boss Teresa and I were office based, and liased with Dickie Bell the Production Manager for Maiden and Bill Barclay, I think, was the Tour Manager. They were a great bunch to work for. I worked there for another ten yrs and travelled all over the world on Maiden related work, and stuff for the other bands that were managed there. Good times.
You worked through the Blaze Bayley era? was it weird?
@@moreblack It was very weird! We knew Bruce had left the band weeks before it was announced. Then someone had the bright idea to run a competition to replace Bruce. Basically people sent in a demo of then singing and the production dept, Teresa, myself, and Dickie Bell had to sit and listen to each and every tape and narrow it down to about 20 of the best. We had to do this whilst still putting tours together for the other bands. So when we had the big meeting to let us know whom Rod and Andy (Maidens Mangers), and Steve Harris had chosen, we were stunned to hear Blaze was the replacement, not one of the entrants, and there was a couple of really good guys that would have been great. I feel that Blaze never really felt comfortable in Maiden. It was a bad choice and he knew it! He couldnt sing many of the regular hit songs live, he was not used to performing in front of that size of crowd, and the list went on. He was a super nice guy though, just was not a natural rock star. I remember he freaked out in Japan (alot of musicians have a real shock in Japan. Nothing is in English, no one talks English, Etiquette and manners are very different) he kept pissing of the Japanese with his behaviour. It would have been fine in the west, and he couldnt understand what he was doing. Then he got lost. There is no frame of reference over there, and it just got to much for him!! Apart from that he was easy to work for, no big demands etc.
was Bob Lefsetz running Sanctuary during that period?
@@leonmohan1708 mate, Blaze was awesome, that's why The X Factor is one of their best albums. But of course, Bruce was the right choice for the band and I'm happy he decided to return.
Man, hearing this video Bruce sounds like he is going to leave...
The album No Prayer for the Dying is an underrated gem!
I would say it's their worst
Undeniably, No Prayer has far more to offer than Fear of the Dark, which to some extent seems overrated.
Fear of the Dark has much better songs on it that No Prayer which tbh is very ropey. "Hooks in you, hooks in me, hooks in the ceiling for that well hung feeling"
Public Enema number 1 is such an awesome Maiden tune, its so underrated its not even funny.
Yes I agree.
Right up there with Infinite Dreams!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
afoolisharrangement agree
Whole album is underrated. But Run SIlent Run Deep is on a whole other level of underrated.
18:39 - Janick's first ever live performance with Iron Maiden. June 27, 1990 at the Astoria Theatre in London during the Tattooed Millionaire Tour, Iron Maiden joined Janick and Bruce for a version of the Trooper.
Dave Murray - probably the happiest man alive, with his perma-smile XD
Perma-smile LOL! xD
I'd bet money he was "the cute one" back in the day lol
There are few things in this world as life-affirming as watching Nicko McBrain play drums. The guy is like an 8-year old in a toy store.
he usually seems just as chipper when he's being interviewed
I never understood the uproar and dislike of this album. It's a solid collection of great Maiden tunes. It's certainly better than anything they procured in the whole of the 21st century.
Wrong
Best BAND ON THE UNIVERSE, MAIDEN FOR EVER!!!!
davey is that you?
It's great having footage of this tour it was the first time I saw Iron Maiden in Dublin in 1990 when I was 12 it was.a.great show and No Prayer for the Dying is highly underated and have always liked the album
I'm really looking forward to The History of Iron Maiden Part 4 when they discuss the concept of this album, and this particular era of Maiden.
Up the Irons!
I've got part 1. Where are the rest? Can't find them.
@@f.g.e.2976 Parts 2 and 3 are on the official Iron Maiden CZcams channel. :)
I have a sneaky feeling they will skip that era and go straight to the reunion era
@@colbillington unfortunately I agree with you. I'm very happy with the reunion era. But the 90s maiden stuff is really where the new proggy songs and heavier sound came from.
No prayer, FOTD, and x factor are some of my favorite records and they should not be slept on.
@@robmoon3061 I love FOTD, Be Quick or Be Dead is awesome.

Gracias SALUDOS DESDE ECUADOR
29:45 Hollowed by thy name (sic)
album is the most underrated in their catalog and the performances on this video are absolutely killer. I'd buy a live album with these shows on them
TheMadMattster yea they played alll the wee venues at the time with this album,seen them in 1991 at ayr pavilion,shit hot man,it's a pitty I was pissed at the time and dont remember some of it but some of it was branded into the memory,Wolfsbane were the back up band,i think the lead singer replaced Bruce for a bit when he left for a bit,fucking glad he came back though,couldn't imaging them with anybody else
It is a very weak album. Bottom of the Maiden Pile with virtual XII and X Factor
@@ecptz2002 virtual 12? Vitual 11 no? X factor is good
@@krisskriss1223 xi of course. I don't rate x factor. Sign of the cross to me is the only good song. Man on the Edge is a typical maiden hard rocker. Little to salvage on that album. And as a singer and front man Blaze was not exactly setting anything on fire. My opinion of course
look around for the "war machine" bootleg. the wembly shows were professionally recorded and mixed.
Dave Murray is a very very shy person - unfortunately you hardly see him in motion in today's concerts, he usually just grins at one spot and plays his thing down. I really liked his "fairy" movements at the previous concerts. The others jumped wildly around the stage and he almost flew, rocking, swaying, waving his hair gently. I always thought that was something very amusing.
No Prayer on the Road was the first tour I saw Maiden live! :D How I miss those times...
SaMe
Me to. It was also the first big Maiden tour with basically no set except the amps LoL. Kinda disappointing for my 12 year old self after watching all their previous Live VHS releases but I was still psyched.
I saw them at Cascais, Portugal, and Anthrax opened for them... Epic night, I'll never forget it! 😶😊
Dantres DRAMATICO
@@amilcarvalenca3381 claro! 😎
Nicko rocks with the King Diamond tshirt!!!
1st time seeing this little doc. Great footage. It was the first tour I saw them on in Dublin, the night before Belfast. Right up the front getting Steve Harris sweat on me and hearing his strings clanking. Awesome.
The first big concert I ever went to was this tour, I was 13 years old, Wembley Arena and Anthrax supported. Up the Irons!
Not their best album, but the best show I ever saw them at was on this tour. It was on an Indian reservation right outside of Phoenix. The full moon was out and the weather was great. Their sound was perfect! Dickinson announced that he just got word Saddam had surrendered and was withdrawing from Kuwait. The crowd went nuts. What a night!!
+WICD1969 Saddam!? So what? What did you give about it!?
+Fab Fablik ?
WICD1969 I mean, you yankees what the hell did you care about Saddam!?
I think getting rid of Saddam was a huge mistake. I have not supported U.S. foreign policy for a very long time. None the less, Dickinson's announcement that night in 1991 electrified the audience. If I had my way, the west would stay out of the east and the east would stay out of the west (unless Iron Maiden wanted to accept an invitation to tour over there).
WICD1969
Ah ok, that's great! Thanks dude, I totally agree, congrats! ;)
1st December 1990, Birmingham NEC with Anthrax as support (On their "Persistence of time" tour). My first Gig. Got to meet the whole of Maiden, and even got to sit in the front passenger seat of Nicko's car (a Jaguar) while he signed the back of my denim jacket from the drivers seat. Got to meet Scott Ian also :) Good times...
I was at that show. It was my 2nd show
And then you woke up
The first time I ever saw Maiden was on this very UK tour, in December of 1990 at Birmingham NEC, with Anthrax supporting. I was an extremely excited 14 year old :-D My older brother escorted me with one of his mates, I even remember leaving school early that day after having permission to go, but I can't remember exactly what I said to get out early now, it probably wasn't that I was going to see the mighty Iron Maiden for the first time :-D I still have my programme from that gig, and a tee somewhere too still I think. Since then, I have collected many more tour programmes and merch, and built up a superb collection of Maiden memorabilia...it's all treasured along with this amazing band.
Long may they reign!!!
UP THE IRONS!! \m/
I was at one of those NEC shows too! Can't remember if it was the Friday or the Saturday, but it was a damn good gig.
seen this tour in winnepeg Manitoba Canada. ....one if not the best show I have ever been too and I have seen ALOT!
Thanks for uploading this ;)
Finally found out how the Blaze Bayley idea emerged! Check 12:50
Love nickos 90s glasses!
Whilst this era of maiden isn’t looked upon greatly, I think it is better than generally agreed. The 90s was maidens raw phase
There are some fans that consider No Prayer For The Dying album the worst Maiden album but I have always loved this album. It came out when I was in middle school and I remember watching videos for Holy Smoke , Tailgunner, and Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. No Prayer For The Dying album is a better album than Fear Of The Dark. I only love half of that album while I love all of No Prayer For The Dying album.
*Fear of the Dark is a better overall album in all aspects, the only really bad song on it was From here to eternity... correction: add The Apparition to the list of forgettable songs... ain't too fond of Wasting Love either, but it ain't worse then before mentioned songs.. half of the songs on No Prayer sounded like it should have been on a Dickinson solo album (Tattooed Millionaire- hard rock style..)
the only track on fear of the dark I really like is Weekend Warrior - which is a track that seems to be a lot of people's least favourite on that album!
same here. It's the first Maiden album I bought when it was new. I like it better than Fear as well, more concise.
@@joddeurter2448 that is how I feel about the Fear Of The Dark album. That half of the songs from it sound like they could have been on Tattoo Millionaire. Fear Of The Dark is the only Iron Maiden album that I can't get into all the way. I like only about five songs from it and I have listened to the album many times since it came out and it just won't grow on me. I really love Be Quick Or Be Dead, Afraid To Shoot Strangers, and the title track Fear Of The Dark alot though.
@@themadmattster9647 I got into Iron Maiden around 1988, so No Prayer For The Dying is the first album I got when it was new also.
This is great, never seen before.
The latest remasters Iron Maiden have done are amazing. I just recently got No Prayer For The Dying and it is the best I have ever heard it. I have bought this album and the other seven before it at least four times. I had all of them on cassette tape originally, first pressing on CD and at least three times on different remastered periods. The first time they remastered their older albums was awesome just because of the bonus CD that came with it.
i think no prayer is a solid album all the way through and it’s a shame the us fans are too picky to appreciate it
Yeah they should play stuff off it, I mean surely one or two classics can make room for songs like No Prayer For The Dying or Public Enema Number One for one tour, can't they.
@Flat Earth Florida Nice one! Wish I was born earlier, my first time was during the Dance of Death tour in 2003. I have seen them nine times in total.
Btw, Bring Your Daughter was actually played in 2003, you can search if you want.
I see why Adrian left..
They had a great thing going with Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son, to drop that momentum was extremely disappointing. It's why Adrian left.
And it's not even as good as Killers, the album they seemingly were trying to emulate here.
@@okagron they were trying to emulate somewhere in time and seventh son because they weren’t happy with them. and i agree it isn’t as good as anything they did in the 80s, however i don’t think it’s disappointing.
These viddies are Awesome and now timeless. The've impressed me and probably have been the most entertaining bunch of guys on-stage and in their own pursuits. Up the Irons!
Thank you :) Up The Irons! :)
Niko wearing a King Diamond "Abigail" shirt, badass.
Life change even every human been has its golden years. But at the end good and bad moments are part of a great life.
Public enema 1, One of my favorite Dave Murray solos for sure
I was there (Newcastle), a 14 year old lad somewhere near the front... Went to see them the next evening as well in Edinburgh at the Playhouse.
Wolfsbane were support, I seem to remember Newcastle got the Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter chant whereas Edinburgh didn't - Bruce commented something like "ahh well at least Newcastle got it last night" lol. Also seen them at Whitley Bay for Seventh Son tour...
They definitely went back to basics on this tour but it was good, very, very good.
Seem to remember Newcastle went nuts for Wolfsbane, Edinburgh didn't. They just didn't seem to get the band at all. My mate and I were going nuts to Wolfsbane in Edinburgh, something noted by Blaze I think with a big thumbs up!
Forgot about this thanx for bringing back good memories o the auld play house.
The Playhouse gig was my first ever gig.
The title-track is among my favorite Maiden songs ever! Shame it's so underrated 🙄
The whole album is underrated - Not sure why, I really like it.
@108242868350192216202 Well, I think it's due to the lack of high points. Except for teh title track, we don't get any of those true Maiden-epics. We get many songs that are pretty good, and I would say No Prayer is more consistant in quality compared to Fear Of The Dark. That album had more masterpieces, but also consisted of many songs which were absolutely terrible 😅
That's maybe it, but Tailgunner, the title track and Bring Your Daughter are classics imo. Holy Smoke has really grown on me since it first came out and enjoy the deeper cuts on the album too. I think it's the last great Maiden album, Fear... has it's moments but there is too much filler on there. I also have a soft spot for No Prayer... as they played Hull City Hall on this tour, something that will never happen again!
"Fates Warning" is a great song off the album as well, the whole album is fantastic.
@@MichaelHolmgaard that is exactly how I feel. I have always thought that No Prayer For The Dying was a better and more consistent album than Fear Of The Dark, but Fear Of The Dark has a few songs on it that I think are better than anything on No Prayer For The Dying album. Especially the title track Fear Of The Dark and Afraid To Shoot Strangers.
Bruce chante merveilleusement dans ce live, comme toujours d'ailleurs :)
Nicko wearing King Diamond T-shirt :D
He's also wearing a Vinnie Vincent Invasion shirt at one point - fucking awful band!
Great... by the way, perhaps King Diamond was in tour with Maiden, supporting the album "The Eye" released in 1990 as well.
Eu gosto desse álbum mesmo ele sendo mais simplista que os outros.
27 years of Janick...I'm glad they kept him
Janick is the worst thing to happen to Maiden. Why they keep him I'll never know
dt jesus excuse me bitch, explain to me how
I agree with you. Janick has helped write many great Iron Maiden songs throughout his years in Iron Maiden such as Ghost Of The Navigator, Dance Of Death, The Legacy, and Book Of Souls. He is a big part of the writing process. He was not just given a free ride to the greatest band ever. He has proved himself worthy of being in the band with every album he has played on.
Wouldn't most people say that Blaze was the worst thing to happen?... Why is he less bad than Janick all of a sudden?... Not that I hated his presence as much as most, because he was good on the two albums he did (and terrible live). But Janick contributed a LOT more to Maiden's existence. - Sure, he might not be as neat and tasteful as a player, but he kept the energy up while Adrian was gone, and contributed to songs as well. - Had he not been there, what boring sod could we have gotten instead?... Perhaps there were some good suitable players out there, but maybe the energy or personality wouldn't have been right. - You can't in all fairness say "the worst thing that happened" when he helped the band last as long as they did. - If he was actually bad for the band, then it might not have existed anymore.
@@dtjesus101 so petty. Just enjoy the music.
Public enema no1 is one of my fav songs... a very underrated masterpiece.
When you're the frontman of a Rockband and don't wanna get recognized... > 9:01
I was there in Belfast and got my ears blasted off.
I was going to see them in Toronto on this tour,it would have been my first time but I couldn't make it. I've seen them 5 times since. Up the irons!
I was there as well. Great memories.
🤘best band 🤘
I think I saw them twice on this tour...one of the times was in Bakersfield Ca, and Anthrax was on the Persistence of Time tour opening for Maiden...Maiden got started wayyy late because Bruce was stuck in a snowstorm coming from LA...yes a snowstorm!! Joey Beladonna almost had to come on stage and play with Maiden for that show...crazy!!
Say what you will about this era, but the band looks so much better performing with jeans, t shirts, and leather jackets than everything else they’ve worn on stage. So much more metal, wish they would’ve dressed like that back in the 80s to be honest. That’s my comment on fashion for the month
You can thank Janick Gers for that :) !
Top three songs for me are Hooka in you, Assassin, and Fates Warning.
Excelente registro,esta gira merecía un DVD oficial!!
Great tour - I went to 3 shows in Canada. This theatre in Dublin looked great, I’ve never seen the side PA on stage facing that way, must have been Loud stage volume when they had to do that.
God damn love this album !!
Bruce's voice sounds great on these live performances (as well as the rest of the band!)
People are going to hate on this period, on the album, on Janick, on whatever. That's what freedom of speech is for. I'm sure many people said similar things when Den Stratton was replaced by H and when Bruce took over from Paul... But for my money, 90-98 is still my favourite period of the band - visually and sound-wise. Maybe I just hate all that 80s ****ing Spandex, but whatever. Choose your favourite Maiden era and crank the volume ;-)
Are you kidding me? Musically this is their worst period
Bruce checking his notes, 6.48. ha
ha. love it.
Great record
23:30 "and I'd like to see you put that on Japanese television"
They did Dickie. The madlads did it.
So, Walter White once had a long hair! 😂
Thanks very much !! This part of Iron maiden is very rare on vidéo .....................Nicko is absoloutly crazy guy :) ..............And at 9' Bruce seems to trueman show ..................Fucking band foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr up the Iron
Great Davey solo in Hallowed. Never heard him pull off a version like that before.
34:37 Janick killing solos since the 90’s
He is not obliged to be an Adrian's copycat.
haha Janick reminded me of Dennis Sratton in those days.
such a shame there is no live album from this and somewhere in time tour
no prayer is such an underrated album
Tyreek Murillo I agree 200 %. It’s not their worst album, I prefer it way more than Virtual XI and even more than Piece of Mind 😂
Wow, over Piece of Mind? Thats 1 of my favorites. Number of the Beast i'm burned out over that album so its 1 of my least favorites now. Virtual XI i actually love. Basically i'm tired of hearing the classics they always play live like Run to the Hills, Number of the Beast, Hallowed Be thy Name, Iron Maiden, Fear of the Dark, the Trooper. Mainly those songs. I still love all Maiden stuff just need a major break from those songs. They need to change up their setlist badly.
underrated? don't you mean the worst album? Yes, it is for sure. Followed by Virtual X.
A. Japanese translation of "Number of the Beast" is "Number of the Best" at 10:00.
B. Nicko McBrain interestingly gives a shoutout to Wolfsbane & Blaze Bayley at 12:52 who later becomes Maiden's next lead singer.
C. Bruce Dickinson describes how he wrote "Tattooed Millionaire" at 15:10.
Cire Stamey woo
Yeah, Wolsbane were the support act on this tour.
Saw them twice on this tour almost got the sack from work when I went to Stoke Hanley hall thinking about it now I wished they had of done it was a shit night shift job lol up the Irons
First I saw the band on stage, in Germany. Bruce was sick and some dates were cancelled.
Vocally Bruce is on 🔥, this is some of the best I've heard from him in Maiden. That said, the body language from all of them is terrible. I think Adrian leaving must have torn them apart and you almost feel like Dave and Steve hadn't fully embraced Gers at this point as you'd have Murray and Harris on one side and Bruce and Jannick on the other. Dark days for Maiden. Makes their resurgence today all the more amazing.
I don't want to hurts anybodys feelings but here is my opinion, this is not the best time period for his voice, critics in the 90s complained about his voice changed for this record if you compare it with how he sounded in the 80s. Being that said, 90s Bruce sounds way better than lots of singers nowadays.
@@Javier-qk7ms to be fair Bruce suffered badly on the Somewhere in Time tour 86-87 and his voice was gradually getting better over the next 2 album/tours. Nowadays he is singing his socks off! The biggest comparison I can think of in terms of control and high notes is Geoff Tate. In the 80s he was seriously giving Bruce a run for his money but now he cant sing for shit!
I concur. I noticed that too, about their body language.
'Hollowed by thy name' hahahaha
The guys are so smart being able to interpret Japanese! Thats why they are my heros
bayknight20 lol they had a translator man
13.00 Nicko talking about Wolfbane. Brilliant!
Pra mim, sensacional época.
Great album
Respect.......
Meu sonho seria ir em um show de iron maiden e king diamond
These subtitles are making it more aesthetic
Congrads n Happy Maiden Birthday "1990"
No Prayer For The Dieing
Up The Irons\m/❤
I love the title track, one of my favourite Maiden songs, but the album was a step backwards. It was the first Maiden album that I had the pleasure and excitement of rushing out on release day and buying (I got into them after 7th Son had been released, but it was actually through a friend at high school giving me a copy of Powerslave) and I was disappointed. The sound they got from Barnyard Studios was lack lustre, particularly the drums, Adrian had left (and Janick is a very messy soloist) and after what they did with 7th Son.. still, for myself, it's better than the X Factor and Virtual XI.
I can remember that moment back in time too ...... great expectations and such a big disappointment , especially in the subject of solos .... unfortunately when Martin Birch stopped producing their albums it got even worse . Up to Fear of the Dark fortunately songs were stil good but after it Maiden started to compose in many cases like quite amateur band .
Fortunately we can still listen to their golden era masterpieces
The Number , Piece , Powerslave , Somewhere and above all Seventh Son .....metal benchmarks .
MrDraven37 I like X Factor, but virtual X1, yeah Naa
Never like Janick. He never has fit the band.
weirdly enough No Prayer For Dying was one of the first IM songs I ever heard decades ago on some random mixtape with no track list
Saw them live in Torquay
8:00 ahaha dave smoking XD
Janick is fantastic. I am glad he is into maiden.
too bad he dances like a poser, not needed
I believe anyone that likes Janick is younger where they got into them with this album first. If you were a fan from 80-88 I believe we grew up hearing and watching Dave and Adrian. This is why Janick was difficult to swallow. Sloppy play especially following a precise perfectionist such as Adrian.
No prayer wasn't stripped down. they just took the keyboards off. I like how Dave is with the program though.
9:20 Davey pretending he understands Japanese
Actually, he's listening to the question in English. Japanese was fixed in the edition.
@@ilpezkato Aw OK......he is still cute ☺
@@iadoredavey Ahhh, girls, girls...There is no doubt about that. Say no more :-))
6:08
Super scream!
Nicko is hilarious! :-D
Am I the only one who thinks NPFTD is more enjoyable/livelier than FOTD?
They’re both mostly crap
idk what these dudes ^ are smoking. depending on the day, i almost like npftd more than fotd. theyre both really good though, with maybe only one or two songs on each that i could do without.
🤘 Up The Irons 🤘
wow never seen this one
Life down here is just a strange illusion!
First Maiden tour I got to witness as a kid. Of course I had watched Live after Death a thousand times. Of course the show I finally get to see after years of begging mom Maiden decides to do the most basic stage show in ALL of maiden history period. My whole life has been this way. A day late and a dollar short. I'm destined to miss everything great and only see mediocrity. Don't get me wrong maiden is always great. But if you asked a million maiden fans if they could go back in time and see any maiden show I'm betting not 1 person would say I'd go back to 1990 and watch the No Prayer On the Road tour.
I was very very lucky and the first gig I ever went to was the World Slavery Tour in Sept 1984 at the Glasgow Apollo and it was unbelievable. That was me, a Scottish 14 year old, on a lifelong conversion to heavy metal. 🤘 They pulled the building down 9 months later, obviously knowing that no one could ever top that spectacle! 😎
KING DIAMOND !!!!!
Who?
Look at that beautiful red hat Bruce is wearing #MIMGA
Very sad day when Adrian left the band..... :-(
Pretty ironic how they wanted to "strip down" with the whole street style clothing and just the players and instruments looking stage "show" (and "less monsters" and whatever), just to go all-out with the theatrics in the 2000s. - Maybe not for the "Brave" tour as much, which was still relatively stripped down, though with a bit more theming again. But then they just went crazy with the show again since "DoD", same for "AMoLaD", going as far as reviving the 'Powerslave' (or 'Live After Death') and "Seventh Son" stage shows. Now they have a freaking airplane hanging above the stage... - But I guess you have to just take a step back for a breather once in a while. I do understand getting tired of "fluff" around the main course as a creative.
And the '90s, you know... Everyone was confused... XD
it was the times. Now Maiden exists partially for nostalgia and a lot of those fans like the theatrics because it makes them recall the times growing up, etc. During this time, they were not a "nostalgia" or "classic" band in many ways, they were still contemporary to some extent, so they were going that route because it was the time to do so. Even the glammiest bands during the time would scale back, or even take off all their makeup and adopt a similar look. Look at Kiss during Revenge, to give an example.
This album was the answer of the band to grunge, that's why they went all "stripped down". They even recorded the album in a barn in a mobile studio.... for crying out loud.
Luckily they changed that right away. Maiden is about theatrics, this lame "stripped down" belongs to Metallica where all concerts are the same shit.
"Hollowed by thy name".
They died a slow death like Metallica, Priest, Dio, Megadeth etc. between 1990 and 1993...I remember it well. :(
It was the advent of Grunge. the 90s was a dark decade for all heavy metal.
@@MrDantres Yeah i remember it well unfortunately. Good bands like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam (one album), and Stone Temple Pilots. Just hate that it killed Thrash. Hair bands, enh not so much LOL.
Yeah... I like all those too! 😶 Too bad it seemed like there was no room for both genres... There was, but record companies and RADIOS did their thing, I guess.
But look where is Grunge today?... I can't find it, but Metal keeps going, stumbling here and there but going.
Gran album
I saw every show from beast with scorpions.. thru fear of the dark with anthrax... And the best show of them was by far somewhere on.tour. my favorite show.. definetly beast.. they played the fuck.out if that show... Bruce was out to prove himself with them and did an excellent job. Throw in scorps blackout and that was one kick ass fuckin show
Nicko wearing a King Diamond shirt… nice
I miss Steve's electric blue Precision.
Janick at 32:48. 😂
