Hey speaking of Australian bands (Rose Tattoo) you should do a segment on the band Heaven and the album Bent the video for “In the beginning “ and its tribute to all those bands blew me away as young 13 year old metal head
I saw Havoc in my hometown way back in the early 80's. They played The Music Hall with local favorites Excalibur and I believe Laaz Rocket. About 2 years after that I bought my very first Marshall amp at guitar center from guitarist Mike Elwood. I recall him tripping out I saw them since at the time I was still pretty young. I later found a copy of the album and have had it since. Sadly mine does not have the lyric sheet. Also just noticed the other guitar player Frank is playing the same model SG I use. What an ironic twist of fate!
Oh mei, there you have the deepest of the underground. You can find a great Vampyr live tv concert here on youtube. Vampyr- Live at heavy metal battle. And you can find Restless footage under the title Metal hammer festival loreley 1985. This was my scene in the mid 80s. Great rare finds.
That would be fun, I’d love to hear the backstory on this guy‘s collection. I’m going to guess that maybe he was in the military or some job that allowed him to travel abroad because 90% of this collection was European pressings and bands.
Great show, I've only just discovered this channel. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Great score. Havoc and Vampyr rule.

Hey John. I got the Castle Blak album vinyl as well. Got it in the late 90s at record show, Love the hell out of it, TC friend.
Thanks!
Great score
It was...so hard to come across albums like this in the wild so I was psyched to get all these.

Good idea

Thanks and yeah, that video of Vampyr live is great. I love stuff like that.
There's so many bands called Reckless
Yeah...it's a really generic name and album cover...which is a shame because this is great Accept style German metal.
I'm surprised that you haven't tapped into the genius that is Horisont (Sweden) amazing old school Euro metal/ Thin Lizzy style hard rock.
I'll check them out.
Have to wonder whats the origin of such a collection? Estate sale or perhaps someone' had fallen on hard times? Does the store owner know?
I did ask and he told me it was just someone who kept their stuff in great condition.
@@LairoftheAlchemist It would be wild to track down the former owner and interview him on your show! :D

@@LairoftheAlchemist Definitely try and put some feelers out to see he he wants to talk!
