Quote :: it appears that Midnite Dynamite is on its way to becoming a pricey collectible... happy hunting!

I checked Amazon again today and nabbed a copy for $5.88. Whoot!!

Guess I won't be grabbing that box set afterall now that I've got 3 of the 5 discs.

Cool, man, nice pickup! You shall enjoy it!!

Anyways, if you don't mind me getting this back on topic (haha), I haven't had time to write any new Hubs this past week or so but I have updated a couple of my recent ones.

Added some new poop to the KIX article regarding the forthcoming new live album and studio CD:
http://fatfreddyscat.hubpages.com/hub/Forgotten-Hard-Rock-Albums-Kix-MIDNITE-DYNAMITE-1985

...and updated the KISS "Monster" Hub with a pic of the new album cover, and some info about the Destroyer Resurrected cash grab
http://fatfreddyscat.hubpages.com/hub/KISS-New-Single-New-Album-Monster-New-Tour-Coming-Soon

New stuff is in the works, I just need time to finish'em!!

Dang, it's been over two weeks since my last Hub!! Well, here's a new one. A co-worker and I were looking at one of those "Bad Album Covers" web sites today and that inspired my newest rant, "Hilariously Bad Hard Rock/Metal Album Covers"

http://fatfreddyscat.hubpages.com/t/32d9ba

(By the way, I'm open to doing more installments of this one so if you have any suggestions, feel free to say so in the comment area!)

Basically any cover by Riot would be acceptable for the second installment.

Case in point:

Both good ones! I'm honestly not all that familiar with Riot (Thundersteel is the only disc of theirs that I own) but that Narita cover is just... just... WTF??

It's a silly cover. "Narita" is an international airport (thus the plane), Riot's career got started in Japan so I think that explains the concept. I have no reasoning behind the Sumo Wrestler Seal however.

I can't believe you never got "Fire Down Under", that is a quintessential early 80s US hard rock/metal album. One of my favorites still...and I have very few albums left from that era in my collection.

Fire Down Under is one of my all time favorite albums. It's a classic and is essential to any well rounded Metal collection. I just ordered the new Metal Blade vinyl reissue of it that was just released this week. I still need to get the Audio Fidelity vinyl that was released last year.

Riot's just one of "those bands" that I always heard/read much about but never had a chance to check out. Y'know how it is, so many bands, so little time/money....

That could be the best metal song intro in history...well, maybe tied with Fast As A Shark.

Very Happy

That Manowar Anthology is the worst. Good lord. I actually have always like the Exodus cover.

Yeah, Manowar's "Anthology" cover is in just about every "Bad Album Covers" gallery on the Internet. I almost left it off of my list just for that reason, but in the end I simply couldn't resist.

That Exodus cover always bugged me for some reason. It makes them look like they're some kind of goofy humorous thrash band. But hey, diff'rent strokes.

...and speaking of Exodus, they'll probably appear again in my next installment with the Force of Habit cover. Man, what a mess that thing is. Very Happy

I think I only like that cover because I like pinball. I thought the album was pretty average though. Force of Habit - ha! I have no idea what is going on with that cover. Why did they choose something that looks like a bird drawn by a four year old?

Also, Riot's mascot's name is Johnny the Seal. He even has his own Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Johnny-The-Seal-Mascot-from-RIOT/100326546711325

"Johnny The Seal?" Really? I've always seen him referred to as "Tior."

Whatever his name is, that thing always creeped me out. There's just something so WRONG about a baby seal head on a human body! (Shudder)

It's better on other albums like Army of One, Nightbreaker or Sons of Society.

a better version of Dance With Death (though I still have issues with it)

My blog on HubPages.com - Reviews of Music, Movies, etc. - Page 13 Dancewithdeath

The cut & paste Monks in the background look too uniform.

Why are Eddie's hands and feel not skeletal?

Bukkake Tsunami Number of posts : 25557 Age : 53

Golly gee. *kicks the dirt* I dunno, I kinda like Megadeth's The World Needs A Hero cover.

I thought Maiden's Dance of Death had potential. It just needed a little more attention to detail. It looked unfinished.

Another nice job, Freddy.

Got a new one today... the news of Deliverance's upcoming new album inspired one of my "A Brief History of So-And-So" hubs...
