What a great debut album from Badlands.Ray Gillen(RIP)was one hell of a vocalist.It also doesn’t hurt having Jake.E Lee along for the ride.Great song-Has an unmistakable Zeppelin vibe to it. youtu.be/IepGiupfguM?... #Metalsky #Hardrock #Badlands #Raygillen

I saw The Firm live,in 1986,at the Spectrum,Philadelphia,Pa.The combination of Paul Rodgers and Jimmy Page was electrifying-Along with Tony Franklin on bass,and Chris Slade on drums.This is a great live performance featuring Paul on Piano,along with his outstanding vocals. youtu.be/LJf9vUmm7ic?...

For me,Slayer’s best work was during the “Metal Blade” years-Albums,E.P’s-Everything up to “Hell Awaits”-Which is my favorite Slayer album.I always felt “Reign In Blood” was overrated-Not a popular opinion among Slayer fans. youtu.be/z_af9e5kxR0?... #Metalsky

Another Jeff Beck appreciation post. This track pretty much defines Jeff’s playing; his later years mirror Beethoven’s in that he strove to be uniquely demonstrative. His playing will never die 🤘 youtu.be/ZZ_8YHFKRpM?... #Jeffbeck #Jazzfusion #Jazz

Fantastic opening track from this album.I always interpreted it being from a “Outside observance” of all the overtly “Satanic bands”-like Watain,Dissection,Marduk,etc.Nonetheless it is epic in scope as only Tom could convey. youtu.be/61iOrlOkpns?... #Metalsky #Triptykon
