No, I was just posting them as they came into my head. The arena list would probably go:

Ozzy
Judas Priest
AC/DC
Dio
Scorpions
TS

And after looking at the second one, that's probably a good running order. Putting myself back in the time frame anyways. If it were now, Slayer would be top bill, and Metallica would never have been invited lol

Metallica
Exodus
Death Angel
Hexx
Legacy
Possessed

I saw Priest & Ozzy in 83 at the Us Festival
Saw Maiden with Saxon and Fastway in 83
Saw Metallica in the Bay Area and with Raven in 83
Saw Motorhead with Ozzy, but it was 82

Imagine seeing all the bands on "Metal Massacre 3"

So out of all these bands, I've seen 18 of them so far, 19 if you count Venom Inc. as Venom like I do. Hopefully next year I can add Mercyful Fate to that list.
