Wanna feel old?

I just realized that 2013 will mark the 30th anniversary of the folloiwng albums:
Kill Em All
Shout at the Devil
Pyromania
Metal Health
Show No Mercy
Sirens

I wonder if the bands will put out any special editions of the albums to celebrate

It is also the 30th anniversary for the following albums:

Flick Of The Switch
Balls To The Wall
Born Again
Holy Diver
Breaking The Chains
Fastway
Piece Of Mind
Lick It Up
Headhunter
Melissa
Another Perfect Day
Bark At The Moon
Queensryche (EP)
Ratt (EP)
Power & The Glory
Thunder And Lightning
Friends Of Hell
Mean Streak

...many others.

P.S. - I already felt old anyway.

wow. we are getting old.

Imagine what the guys in those bands think! Great music, though. 1983 is one of my favorite music years.

All of those always felt old albums to me anyway. What will be more striking to me is when 90's albums start being 25+ years old in just two years time.

Just to pi,ss u off in my old age - I SAW DIO in 1984

Metal rules - Ronnie rules

I'll be 45 in 5 days so you're too late. Some nice albums from 83 though.

Remember your only as old as you feel! And I hurt today, lol.

83' was a good year..

PS I saw Rainbow - Rainbow Rising tour in 76'

I realized we were old the other day when I read an article on Page Hamilton and it said that he was 49 years old. =(

I have to come clean to the Ozzman. Obviously made that up for comedic effect. But you pieced it together!!! Very Metal. If you ever get a chance, go to the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, IA and [if you can't get permission beforehand], seriously, just jump on that stage and you will feel some strange shiz.

I bet!

So the Surf Ballroom is still there? I guess as a tribute.

Just a bit more south in Santa Monica but it was in late 75' before Rising came out. I went with my sister and her boyfriend. Then in Aug of 76, I saw them in Burbank with my brother.

For half my life I believed Mr. Green Jeans was Ted Nugent's father. It actually turned out to be an urban legend based on a Zappa song. Thank you Snopes.com for ruining my fun!

I also watched Picture Pages

Every music fan should make the trek out to the Surf Ballroom. And the corn field where the plane went down. It's a pretty haunting experience. I had relatives who lived in Iowa and when making the trip I always made a point of taking a few hours to visit the ballroom and site.


It's funny how events in my life from 25 years ago seem like lifetimes ago. But the music that was the soundtrack to those events doesn't.
