Vintage metal gems- N.America

Sword-Metalized
Saw these Quebec stompers open for Deep Purple and Girlschool on the Perfect Strangers tour. They came out with "Stuck in Rock", one of the best mid-tempo heavy metal songs ever. Unforgettable experience.

James Byrd- Atlantis Rising
Pretty much a Malmsteen knock off, but dead perfect. I actually like it as much as most of Yngwie's 80's records. And I like Malsteen a lot.

Nasty Savage- s/t
From Florida. Wow.

3 great records SAHB HEALER. A band not many people talk about today but that i always loved are BURNING STARR with JACK STARR. So many increible bands came from NORTH AMERICA that its just amazing.

Breaker - Get Tough!

Superb trad metal from Cleveland. This is one of my all time favorite albums.

I totally agree on Sword's Metalized. I spin that one frequently to this day.

I love the GET TOUGH too by BREAKER and now that you are talking about it, i am going to play it

These are cool threads, bro. Unfortunately, I've only known a few of the mentioned bands. Definitely cool threads, though. Any chances of you linking MySpace pages or samples in the future? That would be even cooler.

I had that Nasty Savage album on cassette back in the early 90s! Loved it!!! I need to replace that!!!

Wow, I just looked up Sword - Metalized. Why is this album going for so much ($98 on amazon)? Any chance somebody knows where I can get a copy for a lot less than what Amazon is asking for.

Sword? Don't know about this band... A Myspace?

Sword's Sweet Dreams was awesome as well. both of their albums were great!

Got Metalized on vinyl, would like to get it on CD but it is hard to find a cheap copy.

I wish I could , but I've been waiting for a relative to help me with my computer illiteracy for stuff like that. I only have internet at work so my time for studying how to post different fun things is limited. Maybe it's not as hard as I think. It would be fun to post pictures, links, etc.
