This was a really fun watch, please do more videos like this. I remember getting Roots Bloody Roots and thinking that it was pretty good, especially the title track (like yourself). But haven't listenede to the album for many years - I'll give it a go now.
It has taken me such a long time to appreciate Roots, decent album. It's no Arise but I'm definitely enjoying it more now. Cheers for watching and commenting on the video
Unique idea James, I've enjoyed this video. I never had issues with 'Ram It Down', never saw it as a masterpiece either. Just a solid JP record! Sepultura's 'Roots' I don't have in my music collection, not even on cd. Average is what comes to mind, couple of good tracks for me. Same vision for their 2003 album: Roorback. Cheers James! 🤘🙂
Ram It Down has definitely grown on me, but there's still room for improvement. Can't believe myself how much I'm enjoying Roots now. Cheers as always Kenan
Bit late i know, but i often watch videos way after they've been first put on here. But anyway, gotta have to put a comment here on finding a gem of a song. Which is what i love about watching reviews and the like. I never heard the album all the way through, but Flesh and Blood, after watching this, i decided to give it a listen. Oh my, Valley of lost Souls!!! I like catchy riffs, and this had to be one of the best i ever heard. Ok, it's new to me, and i might tire of it in time, lol....but hell, it's a scorcher! So thanks Mr Boulder : ) And no doubt i'll be trawling through your vids to find more : ) Great stuff!!
January 31st, 1991 was my 8th birthday. I got Flesh and Blood on cd. 33+ years later I'm looking at it right now with the rest of my 3,000+ cds. This was my first heavy metal album. I STILL love it. He's right. There's 14 tracks. You can skip about 4 of them and the 10 you're left with makes for a pretty great rocker of an album.
That was a fun list. That said (and I’ve seen lots of your other videos) I can’t believe you even owned ‘These days’ in the first place, never mind re-visited it!
Good to hear your thoughts on the albums again James. it's interesting how opinions change over time. Yeah it's hard to say negative things against Waters, but even the best sometimes put out some below par albums. Always liked Ram it down and Roots, yeah they can be improved but they're not terrible.
Hey buddy. Great redo of sorts with the terrible albums. It’s always a funny thing how you (general statement) can come around on a record you hated. I went back and rewatchEd my version, and my mind hasn’t changed one bit 😂😂😂😂. Cheers ole boy
I noticed that as well. Lol. Funny. There is a fella I work with who will admit to other people that he owns and likes St. ANGER. I get a kick out of him. He has my respect for being a real Indevidual, stands behind his perceptions and affections. But that is one irredeemable shit album. I'm glad they made it for Levity's sake, at that point int he Metallica legacy I could have not given a good hot one anyway what they did.
You had me cracking up over your review of Remains 😆 I actually really like Tricks And Traps, I Want and Reaction, and I think No Love, Never and Sexecution are pretty good as well. Definitely my least favorite Annihilator album but I don’t think it’s awful lol
Nice idea for a video mate I recently re listened to the judas priest back catalogue and I really enjoy a lot of ram it down as well point of entry is another I came around on
Definitely a good idea, my video has vanished i must've deleted it and i cant remember what was on my list. Some of these i don't know but the ones i do im only lukewarm on them too.
Shame your original video is gone mate, i would have liked to have seen you take a look back at yours. Some surprises when doing this, but some suck just as much now as they did when I did the original video. Cheers mate
'Incarnated Solvent Abuse' is my favourite Carcass song and with the heaviest riff ever made!. Remember the seeing the video in Headbangers Ball and was my first introduction into Death Metal.
I agree, Incarnated Solvent Abuse' is a classic! it also introduced me to Death Metal! I watched the video thousands of times, my mother was really worried that i was listening and watching this lol
@@Therionsylar then a friend introduced me to 'Legion ' by Deicide. Well, it kinda made 'Incarnated Solvent Abuse ' and Carcass sound like a pop band!!
Hi James!!! this was a cool one to watch and heard your thoughts about all of them who have changed and the ones that remains the same...... A couple i have not heard yet like that awkward (artwork) Exodus album, i don't think that Twisted is all that bad, Ram it Down is and ok one, Bon Jovi thanks, but no thanks.... cheers and be well
The worst album in my collection is Queensrÿche - Dedicated to Chaos. I only own it because I tend to be a completist, and I’m a fan of much of their work, but I’ve listened to that album in its entirety only once. Yeah, it’s that bad.
Hahaha! I was like you (a "completist") and had that piece of crap (I believe even in a extended version... 🤢🤮) but a couple years back I thought to myself: Why keep this BS and sold it for like 3 or 4 Euro I believe on ebay. Also sold that useless " The Art of live" album: What a shit set list!) Same goes for crap like that terrible LA Guns and Lynch Mob albums...
Cool you went back to this video and done a follow up James! It's interesting to hear your opinion has changed on a few albums too. Reek of putrefaction I haven't listened to, but Symphonies of sickness I did enjoy. Kinda starting to wanna try more Grindcore now. I might enjoy that Anaal Nathrakh album if it has a little bit of Metalcore on it, didn't realise you were such a hater of Metalcore! Considering Trivium have some Metalcore albums and you like them. Need to check out those Exodus and Sepultura albums, interesting to hear you like the Sepultura album more now. I didn't like Against so I'm not sure if I would enjoy it. Mad to think Municipal Waste can do wrong! Breathe grease and title track are fantastic, but it's true I don't remember the rest. I'll have to check it out again. Great follow up mate 😊🤘🏻
Trivium is the only band I have left in my collection that has anything to do with Metalcore and for me they do it better than most. Amazed myself how much I'm digging Roots at the moment. Agreed that Against is peice of shit though. That Carcass debut is toilet, shit songs and shit production. Cheers Josh
@mrboulder9714 That's fair enough man, they're the band that really got me into it. And the 2000's stuff I can really get a lot out of. They are fantastic at what they do! Yeah man, especially after how long you've been known to hate that album it's a crazy turnaround! Yeah, Against is pretty terrible, and Nation as well. Haha, I'm not looking forward to hearing the Carcass debut, but if I wanna do a ranking I'll have to! You're welcome mate 😊🤘🏻
@@mrboulder9714 Yeah, I'm sure they went on to do bigger and better things than the debut. Their discography is almost flawless. Still need Swansong and the debut in my collection 😊🤘🏻
Queensryche - Dedicated to chaos OMG! Dokken - Shadowlife (Why Why Why 1) Metallica - St. Wanker LA Guns - American Shitcore (Why Why Why 2) Lynch Mob - Suck this! Lita Ford - Wicked Wonderland Scorpions - Eye to eye (Why Why Why 3 ?!?) and 2 you were mentioning I almost forgot: Dee Snider - We are the ones... Annihilator - Remains So I have only 9; 7 in my head and 2 you remeind me I had and I think they are all gone out of my collection... luckily... 😀
Quite a few of these I've nit heard and it doesn't sound like I'm missing much. I have Shadowlife, buy nit listened to it in year's. Thanks for watching and commenting fella 👍
Flesh & Blood was my very first hard rock album I owned. I hated it and gave it away. Many years later I decided to give it a go and dug it. Same with Force of Habit. Both are still in my possession and I enjoy them more for sentimental reasons.
I like that Volume 8 album too. Anaal Nathrakh are pretty consistent. Singer is called Dave Cunt.. great band. Reek Of Putrefaction is way better than I remember. Absolute filth. Symphonies is better though. Force of Habit is a strange one. Bizarre covers on it too. Shit artwork too. I got bored of Municipal Waste about four albums in. I never liked Annihilator I really like Roots, skme bangers on it. "Spit" rules. I could never hear Nu Metal in it either. Grest video James!
Volume 8 has really grown on me a lot, an underrated album. Annal Nakrath are absolutely savage aren't they mate. Completely changed my mind about Roots, used to hate it but I really enjoy it now. Cheers as always Dave my friend
@mrboulder9714 Aye, Anaal Nathrakh are pounding, seen them llive a few times. They've never beaten their debut for me though- an absolute benchmark of rage.
Flesh and Blood is a classic. Few too many songs on there but its a solid 8/10 for me. CCs solos on this album are superb especially Life Goes On solo. Bon Jovi's These Days, well I hated it when it came out in 95 (I was 20) but over time its my 2nd favourite after New Jersey. Its dark and I dont think people expect this kind of album from them. I think the song you are referring to is All I want is everything that sounds like Sign of the Times - its a killer live as well
Remove the filler from Flesh and Blood and its a better album. Yes that's the correct song from These Days, definitely similar to Prince's Sign of The Times. Thanks for watching and commenting
Roots is one of the only few albums I have ever traded in. I thought the opening track was shading though ! On a separate note, what are your thoughts on st anger? (Can see it in the background) IIRC , you like it ?
Good to hear your thoughts on those albums. I'm not really into Poison overall, but I've always liked "Valley of Lost Souls". 8'm okay with the songs themselves on 'Reek of Putrefaction', but the production is awful IMO. Knowing that Exodus put out good stuff now, I can enjoy 'Force of Habit' for what it is. I haven't heard that Dee Snider album, but I don't really like the first one. I used to have it, but decided to get rid of it so someone who actually likes it can enjoy it. I've always liked 'Come Out And Play'. I never really had a problem with their cover song, although it does seem out of place. Ooh... 'Remains' - not good. Welcome to Club Roots :D
I have " Flesh and Blood " in my collection. I do not remember hating it , I will find it to re-listen to as I cannot remember the songs. I can remember this you-tube thread from a while ago, and probably have plenty of albums that could apply. I need a big record purge in 2024!.
I thought flesh & blood was poisons second best album , Native Tongue is my favorite of theirs. But I thought flesh & blood took what poison did and fine tuned it. The guitar solo in Life Goes On is one of my favorite guitar solos to come out the hair band era. Overall I thought it was solid.
I read a review of Reek Of Putrefaction in an old mag. The reviewer summed it up by saying you might as well empty an ashtray onto your turntable and play that. I like the album but I can't disagree with that statement.
so my High school won a state championship I was with the team and familys tonight. I love the picture of come out and play!!! can you say classic!!!! Aknowagroth Poison Bon Jovi Carcass Exodus Municipal Waste Dee Snider Twisted Sister Anhilator , Judas Priest.
That Annihilator album is pretty bad save a couple of songs. Force of Habit by Exodus us my gateway into Exodus so that's why I like it so much. Great video!!
so when you did the original video 2 years you didn't show Turbo you mentioned at the end of the video that you like Turbo!!! what made you not show Kiss Un Masked is that a terrible album or ok? what about Ac/dc - Fly on the wall? Van Halen Balannce terrible or an ok album? Iron Maiden - Dance with death? Queen - Hot space? are these albums terrible?
Anaal Nathrakh are a good band and I think that Desideratum gets a bit over hated. Carcass Reek of Putrefaction does it's job in giving you disgusting, gross-out, goregrind despite it's shitty production. I think if you go into it with no high expectations; it can be enjoyable. Excellent video James.
8:18 I recall a black afro carribean girl from South East London buying that album off me on Ebay. I pondered why until I guessed she probably thought it was the Bob Marley Exodus project. The album artwork does suggest that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Ram It Down" is such a decent album, but the best thing about It is that showed the band what not to do before "Painkiller". "Roots" is Sepultura's Black Album. If you're so interested in percussive amazonian music, make another project with another name, but don't spoil your legendary career with that.
Yes Painkiller is much more superior to Ram It Down. I get what your saying but there's no way the record company would have put that album out under a different band name as they would have been terrified of losing out financially. Thanks for watching and commenting 👌
Great vid Mr.B, the ones that stand out for me from your list, Poison, when I was 18 I loved Open up & say ahh, didn't take to Flesh & blood at all, to be fair I can't listen to Open up anymore, I play guitar which gives you an appreciation of who is good, bad & average, CC Deville (to keep it respectful) isn't a guy I enjoy listening to. Bon Jovi, These days, agreed pal, was the start of the house wife rock era for the band, you could see it coming with a couple of tracks on Keep the faith, Hey god & Damned, then forget the rest for me, anything from the first album to Faith is great, Carcass yep a messy album, Heartwork is much better, really well produced that album with crushing riffs, heavy as sh*t for 1993! Exodus, I love this band but I'm with you on Force, there are a handful of tracks here but I never go to this CD, I'm also not a fan of the production on this, too dull & muddy for my ears, I usually go for Fabulous Disaster if I fancy early Exodus, later Exodus is also awesome, Annihilator, yes Waters is brilliant, love the Alice, Never Never & Set the world albums, after that the song lyrics started to get silly, the riffs were still wicked but I thought the band suffered from daft lyrics & really needed a good long term frontman/singer, someone who had/has real stage presence & a killer voice, Of course this is just my opinion. Nobody is right or wrong, just preference. Super video pal, keep them coming bruv. Cheers
Kotzen's playing on Native Tongue puts everything CC ever played in the shade for me. Easily the weakest Annihilator album for me, they've put out much better stuff. Yeah Heartwork is far superior to Reek, Reek's non existent songs and awful mix.and production make it pretty much unlistenable for me. Cheers fella 👍
@@mrboulder9714 yep good call, Native Tongue is decent, I remember reading an interview with Michael's back in the day stating Kotzen was way over qualified for the spot in Poison, Lol...Kotzen's vocals are as good as his guitar playing, wicked talent!!! Cheers
Not a glam fan at all, own a few classics I grew up with - Cinderella, Skid Row, Extreme, David Lee Roth - that's it. Reek of Putrefaction is still better than Swansong lol - I like the grindy under produced sound - Necroticism is still my favourite though. I actually have always liked that Exodus album, very under rated in my opinion. Annihilator is not that bad really, considering it's a one man project. Roots is just fucking shit - Sepultura was dead to me when this came out.
My online streaming service keeps putting MUNICIPAL WASTE in my automatic mixes when the albums I have selected finish and it automatically go's to a an AI mix. Why? I dont like them. I have never selected a song by them or even looked them up online for any information. Are they a favored band for some reason? I dont hate em or anything, I just liked D.R.I just fine the first time around. I guess that is what the " skip" feature is for.
Their similar style to D.R.I is more than likely why Municipal Waste shows up in your feed. I didn't listen to D.R.I until,after I discovered Municipal Waste. D.R.I is a great band
Whaaat?! Reek is a murky classic. A 1000 bands in Mexico alone formed because of the album, all with better production, all useless. That's one of the Anaal Nathrakh albums I don't know very well. Love 'em, but they got a bit samey. Roots definitely has its moments. I remember thinking it dragged on for way too long. Do this again in 6 month's time & you'll be singing along to Reek. Well, gurgling along at least.
Come out and play as to be thy best album that twisted sister ever did. Love is for suckers is an album that I hate. Ok ram it down might of been much better, but is a good album from priest.
I've definitely grown to love Come Out and Play more recently but I stoll prefer Love Is For Suckers. Ram It Down has also grown on me but there's still room for improvement on that one. Cheers fella 👍
@tiborosz1825 When your a kid discovering Metal in the mid to late 80's, you're going to be exposed to Hair Metal which was of course very popular at the time
winger is better than poison on making rock ballads??? life goes on has a very good guitar solo.......but I agree with you bon jovi is the worst rock band...poser pop rock band
Yeah I never really loved Poison's ballads, apart from 'Until You Suffer Some Fire and Ice' that's excellent. Love Bon Jovi's early stuff but they've also put out a load of rubbish as well. Cheers
I see St. Anger clear as day in the back there…. lol Bob Rock on bass. Didn’t Rob ONLY play on the bonus live DVD that came with the original CD. Ahahaha
This was a really fun watch, please do more videos like this. I remember getting Roots Bloody Roots and thinking that it was pretty good, especially the title track (like yourself). But haven't listenede to the album for many years - I'll give it a go now.

I never had issues with 'Ram It Down', never saw it as a masterpiece either. Just a solid JP record!
Sepultura's 'Roots' I don't have in my music collection, not even on cd. Average is what comes to mind, couple of good tracks for me. Same vision for their 2003 album: Roorback.
Cheers James! 🤘🙂

Oh my, Valley of lost Souls!!! I like catchy riffs, and this had to be one of the best i ever heard. Ok, it's new to me, and i might tire of it in time, lol....but hell, it's a scorcher!
So thanks Mr Boulder : ) And no doubt i'll be trawling through your vids to find more : )
Great stuff!!
I find Flesh and Blood to be decent once you get through the dull ballads. Cheers for watching fella. Much appreciated
@@mrboulder9714 Appreciate the reply!
Still excited to this tune, hasn't waned as yet, lol
January 31st, 1991 was my 8th birthday. I got Flesh and Blood on cd. 33+ years later I'm looking at it right now with the rest of my 3,000+ cds. This was my first heavy metal album. I STILL love it.

It was glam rock, not metal, not even glam metal. I like the album too even though I could never stand their posery.
That was a fun list. That said (and I’ve seen lots of your other videos) I can’t believe you even owned ‘These days’ in the first place, never mind re-visited it!
Definitely better than I remember it being, but it was definitely the start of their decline

Sepultura roots has always been my favourite sepultura album since 1996.
It's definitely grown on me recently

I thought flesh & blood was poisons second best album , Native Tongue is my favorite of theirs. But I thought flesh & blood took what poison did and fine tuned it. The guitar solo in Life Goes On is one of my favorite guitar solos to come out the hair band era. Overall I thought it was solid.
Flesh and Blood is decent but for me Native Tongue is a far superior record. Thanks for watching and commenting 👌
Luckily I don't have any terrible albums in my collection 😂😂😂😂
A couple of these I really should just get rid of. Cheers for watching fella 👍
I read a review of Reek Of Putrefaction in an old mag. The reviewer summed it up by saying you might as well empty an ashtray onto your turntable and play that. I like the album but I can't disagree with that statement.
Terrible album, and it sounds like shit. Cheers for watching
@@mrboulder9714 I'd choose Reek Of Putrefaction over any lame post New Jersey Bon Jovi. In fact I'd rather listen to the ashtray.
so my High school won a state championship I was with the team and familys tonight.
I love the picture of come out and play!!! can you say classic!!!!
Aknowagroth
Poison
Bon Jovi
Carcass
Exodus
Municipal Waste
Dee Snider
Twisted Sister
Anhilator ,
Judas Priest.
Yeah the Come Out and Play picture is excellent. Cheers
That Annihilator album is pretty bad save a couple of songs. Force of Habit by Exodus us my gateway into Exodus so that's why I like it so much. Great video!!
Cheers George. Yeah i hate to criticise anything Annihilator, but Remains is such a bad album.
I believe Reek of putrefaction was the album Jeff Walker described as “a musical abortion “
It certainly sounds like it 😄 Cheers for watching fella 👍
I think you forgot to put the album in your background in your list : Metallica - St.Anger
That's an 'In' joke. The original thread was called '10 Terrible Albums In My Collection That Aren't St Anger'. Cheers
so when you did the original video 2 years you didn't show Turbo you mentioned at the end of the video that you like Turbo!!!
what made you not show Kiss Un Masked is that a terrible album or ok?
what about Ac/dc - Fly on the wall?
Van Halen Balannce terrible or an ok album?
Iron Maiden - Dance with death?
Queen - Hot space?
are these albums terrible?
Cheers for watching fella 👍
Bon Jovi and Poison , never in my wheelhouse . I've diluted the shit in my collection over the years . Keep on rockin' James , cheers 😉
Cheers fella, much appreciated 👍
Looks like your new meds are really working for you 😀
The guy prefers Maiden' Virtual xi to Killers. So no.. its not working for him😅😅
😂😂
@@tiborosz1825Oh dear...i already had my doubts when he openly admitted to owning various Poison album 😀
Anaal Nathrakh are a good band and I think that Desideratum gets a bit over hated. Carcass Reek of Putrefaction does it's job in giving you disgusting, gross-out, goregrind despite it's shitty production. I think if you go into it with no high expectations; it can be enjoyable. Excellent video James.
Annal Nakrath are amazing mate. I think you might be right with regard to the Carcass debut. Cheers Tony
8:18 I recall a black afro carribean girl from South East London buying that album off me on Ebay. I pondered why until I guessed she probably thought it was the Bob Marley Exodus project. The album artwork does suggest that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha. An easy mistake to make I guess if she wasn't paying attention properly. Thanks for watching fella 👍
"Ram It Down" is such a decent album, but the best thing about It is that showed the band what not to do before "Painkiller". "Roots" is Sepultura's Black Album. If you're so interested in percussive amazonian music, make another project with another name, but don't spoil your legendary career with that.
Yes Painkiller is much more superior to Ram It Down. I get what your saying but there's no way the record company would have put that album out under a different band name as they would have been terrified of losing out financially. Thanks for watching and commenting 👌
Great vid Mr.B, the ones that stand out for me from your list, Poison, when I was 18 I loved Open up & say ahh, didn't take to Flesh & blood at all, to be fair I can't listen to Open up anymore, I play guitar which gives you an appreciation of who is good, bad & average, CC Deville (to keep it respectful) isn't a guy I enjoy listening to. Bon Jovi, These days, agreed pal, was the start of the house wife rock era for the band, you could see it coming with a couple of tracks on Keep the faith, Hey god & Damned, then forget the rest for me, anything from the first album to Faith is great, Carcass yep a messy album, Heartwork is much better, really well produced that album with crushing riffs, heavy as sh*t for 1993! Exodus, I love this band but I'm with you on Force, there are a handful of tracks here but I never go to this CD, I'm also not a fan of the production on this, too dull & muddy for my ears, I usually go for Fabulous Disaster if I fancy early Exodus, later Exodus is also awesome, Annihilator, yes Waters is brilliant, love the Alice, Never Never & Set the world albums, after that the song lyrics started to get silly, the riffs were still wicked but I thought the band suffered from daft lyrics & really needed a good long term frontman/singer, someone who had/has real stage presence & a killer voice, Of course this is just my opinion. Nobody is right or wrong, just preference. Super video pal, keep them coming bruv. Cheers
Kotzen's playing on Native Tongue puts everything CC ever played in the shade for me. Easily the weakest Annihilator album for me, they've put out much better stuff. Yeah Heartwork is far superior to Reek, Reek's non existent songs and awful mix.and production make it pretty much unlistenable for me. Cheers fella 👍
@@mrboulder9714 yep good call, Native Tongue is decent, I remember reading an interview with Michael's back in the day stating Kotzen was way over qualified for the spot in Poison, Lol...Kotzen's vocals are as good as his guitar playing, wicked talent!!! Cheers
Not a glam fan at all, own a few classics I grew up with - Cinderella, Skid Row, Extreme, David Lee Roth - that's it. Reek of Putrefaction is still better than Swansong lol - I like the grindy under produced sound - Necroticism is still my favourite though. I actually have always liked that Exodus album, very under rated in my opinion. Annihilator is not that bad really, considering it's a one man project. Roots is just fucking shit - Sepultura was dead to me when this came out.
Necrotocism is definitely my go to Carcass album, it's perfect as far as I'm concerned. Cheers fella 👍
My online streaming service keeps putting MUNICIPAL WASTE in my automatic mixes when the albums I have selected finish and it automatically go's to a an AI mix.
Why?
I dont like them.
I have never selected a song by them or even looked them up online for any information.
Are they a favored band for some reason?
I dont hate em or anything, I just liked D.R.I just fine the first time around. I guess that is what the " skip" feature is for.
Their similar style to D.R.I is more than likely why Municipal Waste shows up in your feed. I didn't listen to D.R.I until,after I discovered Municipal Waste. D.R.I is a great band
Whaaat?! Reek is a murky classic. A 1000 bands in Mexico alone formed because of the album, all with better production, all useless. That's one of the Anaal Nathrakh albums I don't know very well. Love 'em, but they got a bit samey. Roots definitely has its moments. I remember thinking it dragged on for way too long. Do this again in 6 month's time & you'll be singing along to Reek. Well, gurgling along at least.
I just can't get on with that Carcass album. Love a bit of Annal Nakrath. Roots has definitely grown on me recently. Cheers for watching
Come out and play as to be thy best album that twisted sister ever did. Love is for suckers is an album that I hate. Ok ram it down might of been much better, but is a good album from priest.
I've definitely grown to love Come Out and Play more recently but I stoll prefer Love Is For Suckers. Ram It Down has also grown on me but there's still room for improvement on that one. Cheers fella 👍
I prefer REEK over HEARTWORK.
Been listening to Carcass since 1989 or 1990 though, so...
That's understandable, my entry point was Heartwork so maybe I would feel differently if I were there from the Reek days. Cheers for watching
No one with a discriminating taste would ever buy a Poison or Bon Jovi album.
Big bands for me in my early days of discovering music. Cheers
@@mrboulder9714 you're from the isle of Albion.. home of heavy metal..listening to LA hair metal?
@tiborosz1825 When your a kid discovering Metal in the mid to late 80's, you're going to be exposed to Hair Metal which was of course very popular at the time
If you have wood paneling and shag carpet on your steps in 2024 you’re not allowed to say “dumb cliche’ 80’s metal”. 😂
Haha. Thanks for watching
😂
I hate that crap album that's starring at me this whole video. St.anger
Haha. It's a challenging listen for sure. Thanks for watching
Where is your bannister?
We don't have one
Nostalgia is painful 😂😂
Cheers
Went to Bon Jovi first tour walked out after 10 minutes luckily didn't pay for ticket 😂😂😂
😂
winger is better than poison on making rock ballads??? life goes on has a very good guitar solo.......but I agree with you bon jovi is the worst rock band...poser pop rock band
Yeah I never really loved Poison's ballads, apart from 'Until You Suffer Some Fire and Ice' that's excellent. Love Bon Jovi's early stuff but they've also put out a load of rubbish as well. Cheers
Sorry man but those von jovi and poison albums really suck
Their better than I remembered them being, but they are definitely still flawed albums
Why do you own albums you think are terrible? I only buy music I actually enjoy.
These were bought in the days before the internet/instant access to music, so you didn't know they sucked until they had been purchased. Cheers
@@mrboulder9714 The same for me. Thankfully, I only bought two albums that I didn't like.
Bon Jovi meh 😂😂😂😂😂
They were a gateway band for me when I was younger
Replace ballads with the word bllxs
😂
Metalcore sucks kids metal nu metal bla bla sh*t
I liked Metalcore when i first heard it, but it didn't last long at all
I see St. Anger clear as day in the back there…. lol
Bob Rock on bass. Didn’t Rob ONLY play on the bonus live DVD that came with the original CD. Ahahaha
Bob Rock should have been more focused on the production, he completely botched the production on that album
And Jason Newsted didn't play bass on And Justice For All either.
That St Anger record better be on the list
That's an 'In' joke as the original thread was called '10 Terrible Albums In My Collection That Aren't St Anger'
Not a poison fan, I didn’t like this album and look what the cat, open up was okay and native tongue was really good.
Yeah 5hose albums are definitely better. Thank you for watching
would you like to rank slipknot?
I only own 3 Slipknot albums
