Do you have the debut single, Take No Prisoners with Vivian Campbell on it?



It had the songs "Take No Prisoners" and the original version of "Killing Time" before they redid it several years later without Viv. If you do, any chance of me getting a cd transfer or a cassette copy of it from you?

WRATHCHILD UK is an other fave of mine.

I didn't list any of what I think are the "worst" NWOBHM bands, but I forgot about these guys - I've always hated them. No offense intended, and to each his own, but that was one band that never did it for me - plus it doesn't help their cause that I'm not much of a "glam" fan.

IMO, =

I respect your opinion of course but i love them. I have at least 25 live bootlegs by this band. They were underated in my opinion. If i remember right, METAL FORCES showed respect to them, but KERRANG not.
Anyway, MAINEEAXE were great too.

That's cool man, and I really didn't want to diss you personally, so I'm glad you didn't take it that way.

More power to ya - and you can have all of the WRATHCHILD albums I'll never buy!

Or...maybe I should just go ahead and check them out one more time just to give them a final chance. I gave MANOWAR at least three chances and I still hate them, so I guess I can give these guys at least that many tries since they were part of the NWOBHM, and that fact alone puts them ahead of MANY bands.

Maiden, Saxon, Motorhead, Raven.... definatley some of the best......

first Saxon lp I heard was 'the eagle has landed'.... my friend was on restriction, no music for one week and he had just bought it. I borrowed it and played the grooves off it..... MACHINE GUNNNNNN!!!! GONNA SHOOT YOU DOWN !!!!

First Maiden was 'Number' showed my Dad the cover and he bout had a heart attack.... bought 'Killers and 'Maiden Japan 5 song version' right after that....


There were so many records I just couldn't keep up... everytime I went to Record Factory there was something new. Between Metal Rendevous, Kerrang, Metal Forces, new bands coming out of ground .... not NWBHM but that first Yngwie Lp was $25 on Import in 84? It always a treat to see what was new....


Fastway.... I loved that first lp... I had it with the 7" single... cool stuff...

Played "All For One" so many times....


good times

My favourite band out of the NWOBHM movement was GIRL, they featured pre Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen and pre L.A. Guns singer Phil Lewis. They were a glammy hard rock band that mixed influences of the New York Dolls, Thin Lizzy, Japan and Aerosmith.
The first 2 albums are essential particuarly the 1st:

Girl - Sheer Greed (1980) (Featured a cover of Kiss classic 'Do You Love Me' and the original 'Hollywood Tease' before L.A. Guns covered it.
Girl - Wasted Youth (1982)

That's pretty cool. I had no idea that the LA Guns version was a cover. The Heart of Metal Message Boards, learn something new everyday.

- I actually didn't like 90% of the underground NWOBHM bands I listened to - too much rock in it for me.

Isn't metal just another form of rock and roll?

You didn't like Raven? These guys were some of the fastest around during that time.

I like Raven stuff but never found of their stuff in stores. I'm searching on net too but cant buy on web because I don't have any credit card.
