Electric Wizard, performing “Funeralopolis”

Dio. Live in 1986.

Phenomenal performance. But then… it’s Dio.

In last Sunday’s Sunday Metal, Dave Mustaine was wearing a Motorpsycho t-shirt.

I remember this band’s album, “Wrenched”, came out about 1992. I was working in college radio at the time at WXJM. It was an OK album, with some fun aggro tracks such as:

“Scared for Life”

“Fuck it Up”

“Hatebox”

“Hatebox” always stuck in my head… rather, the ending of it, the spoken word: “It’s hatred… it’s the only thing that lasts…”

Megadeth with “Go to Hell”.

I also liked the initial footage from the Concrete Foundations forum. Reminds me of my days back working in metal radio.

Lita Ford, with my wife’s favorite song (not really…), “Kiss Me Deadly”.

What I dug about this is… it’s live. Listen to her sing… she isn’t perfect. Hooray for live and real performances! Tho somehow that guitar appeared out of nowhere…

Man… I had forgotten about Betty Blowtorch. Punk rock with an LA flair.

This is a cool video of an in-store promotional concert and signing from August 2001.

Riot Brides I think only made 1 EP, but it was pretty kickin’.

This is “Bring You Down”

It’s a shame Slunt didn’t become a bigger band. They had the look, the raw attitude, and  songs.

This is apparently the original video for “The Best Thing”

If this ain’t rock-n-roll, I don’t know what is.

From 1993, a rockumentary on Death Metal:

The bouncer/security dude at the opening? He gets it.

From 1991, an MTV-produced rockumentary on the history of heavy metal (to that point).
