Just something to think about here. I was sitting here listening to the new Testament (What a great album) Does it seem to anybody else that the circle has come full circle. Now just take a look at some of the albums we have had the pleasure of hearing towards the end of last year & this year so far..

Overkill, White Lion, Def Leppard, Dokken, Death Angel, Gamma Ray, House Of Lords, WASP, King Diamond, Whitesnake, Helloween, Megadeth, Great White, Rob Rock (Fires Of Babylon). Which all of these albums are great metal/rock albums. Back to what it use to be.
Maiden selling out all over the world AGAIN 🤘 Van Halen grossing $98 million.And I have heard a few songs from the Crue and I am really excited about this coming out. Plus we still have to come the new Priest, Malmsteen, Tesla DVD, AC/DC, Heaven & Hell (DIO, Sabbath) & I might even give the new Metallica a chance sick lol! . Plus also all the awesome shite coming out of Europe. I haven't felt like this about the scene for years. Fells like I am 16 again cool

Does anybody else fell the same way?

Yep,history repeats itself every twenty years.Haha.But yeah,I know how you feel.With all the new thrash coming out it feels like 88 or 89 to me.I just wish I was 16 again.

Its good to have quality releases from alot of the old bands, but it sure doesn't feel like 1988. Being 33 feels alot worse than being 14 did.

Not to mention new bands coming out with a classic sound. Black Tide and The Answer are two examples.

I love being into Metal now more than ever. I know there was an excitement and newness then, but I'm thrilled at the quality of the new stuff. SO, I can still have the old, but revel in the new.

It could be 1988. I am going to pick up Fates Warning's "Perfect Symmetry" cd same as I did when I was 14 in 1988. Woooohahh!

I'm grateful that in 2008, technology has allowed me the opportunity to go back and enjoy bands that I overlooked, ignored or otherwise missed back in 1988. You kids today don't know how lucky you've got it when it comes to discovering new bands. Also, now I have the funds to make those purchases possible. Back in '88, I had to resort to the old 5-finger discount, wait for birthday loot or get a crappy cassette copy made from someone's boom-box.

Yea, sorry about that. I don't know what came over me. I really should stick to sarcasm and wise-ass remarks.

That pic was taken 20 years, and probably 40 pounds, ago. I was a skinny kid back then. So what happened? Too much Coors I reckon.

Considering my favorite album of the year so far is from a band that would have been real big in '88, yeah in some ways it does seem like it. However seeing as I was too much into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and G.I. Joe at that time (didn't become a metal fan til I heard Enter Sandman in '91), I can't really say much as far as metal is concerned.
