Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VIII

[Dee Snider]

Super groups rarely fire but crikey here's one which does - Sign of the Wolf. Melodic metal inspired by the work of Ronnie James Dio. This 2025 release is fantastic.

Luminaries include Andrew Freeman, Chuck Wright, Vinny Appice, Doug Aldrich, Fredrik Folkare.

Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion. One of the great album covers imo.

One of the great albums period.

Krokus - Long Stick Goes Boom.

Eh? Should be a number of flights every hour between Mel and Syd. What carrier did you check?

Ah yeah was looking through Skyscanner. Looked direct through carriers websites and much better options there

This is quite possibly the most aesthetically beautiful production I have made to date, both visually and aurally. IMO this is a classic live metal video.

I thought of nothing better than to release Left to Die on Christmas Day. This is a spectacular show and a gift to all my fellow metalheads. Merry Christmas!

Nah. Just gotta make sure they are standing upright and aren't weight bearing imo - got records I've had since 1990 and no problem with ring wear.

Eveything seems closed.

Stay safe on the roads. So many people were tailgating me today and a dude on a motorcycle almost killed himself overtaking me in the Dandenong Ranges. A very lucky boy.

Maroondah Highway was shut at Mitcham Road eastbound late afternoon. Virtually impossible to crash there unless driving like a clown. Wonder what happened.

Nah it was up in the hills. He was overtaking on the opposite/wrong side of the road, didn't see a car coming straight at him (and the car didn't even try to slow down). He whacked into a sign on next to the mountain narrowly avoiding the car. Very lucky to have escaped a head-on collision and if he had pulled the move on the other side of the road would have come to a stop about 100 metres down. So yes, driving like a clown.

Yeah can't do that up there. Mitcham one was a separate incident I ran into.
