It's a Rage thread.

I know, we've discussed these guys before but I was listening to Trapped and thinking how little these guys are known in the states. This is such a great metal album. Fast by not so hyper it becomes a wankfest like D'force and with good melody without being too sappy.
Say something nice about Rage.

I have their last two. They are very good!!

I only own one disc by them (Secrets in a Weird World) and by co-inky-dink, I just happened to bring it into work with me this week. I do believe I'll give it a listen.

I love most everything they have released. Peavey is a genius, IMO.

I've never heard much of Rage, but I have the Avenger stuff and it rules!

Love me some Rage, they're a band I got into late in the game so I have a lot of catching up to do but I love the XIII, UNITY and SOUNDCHASER albums.

I love just about all their albums except for maybe 2. I forget the name of it but theres one that they did with the Lingua Mortis Orchestra and they did some older songs that just sounds horrible and also I wasnt happy with the album Speak Of The Dead. I think that was the name of the album. It was the one before their newest one, either way I hated how half the album had the orchestra then the other half didnt and the half that didnt the songs suffered from it. Either do the whole album with the orchestra or not at all ooooooor maybe even on a couple of songs but dont do half a album with it and then never do it again.

I really wish they would have gotten some recognition sooner in the states.

Wow, a quick peek at BNR metal.com shows me that these gents have been quite prolific over the years. It'd cost me an arm and 1 testicle to track down that entire discography.

Rage is the best. Not one bad album in my opinion.

That stuff is so rare I rarely see them except for The Anthology which goes for a pretty penny.

Metalguy, you can usually find some pretty cheap on Amazon. I'd say must haves would be:
Unity
Black In Mind
End Of All Days
Soundchaser
Trapped

They really haven't done a bad album in my book though the ones with the orchestra are kind of meh.

Hmmm, thanks, but I'd better not. When I said it would cost me an arm & testicle, I wasn't speaking in dollar figures. What I meant was "These are the parts of my body that my wife will tear from my torso and feed to hungry wolves if I start investing in yet another band's discography".

MG, you exposed your wife to the miracle of childbirth, the least she can do is allow you to be exposed to the miracle of Rage.

At the moment, the only "miracle" she is being "exposed to" is 2 toddlers with pink eye and nasty dispositions. I'm not in any position to do anything that would set her off. :swear:

Someday you should steal the pants back from her.

Only have like one disc, thought it was good but I haven't bothered getting anything else.

GREAT BAND!!!!!! [until Peavy's head exploded all over his ego.]

You deaf?

Rage had three good albums, then they thought they were the second coming of Helloween with Jon Oliva at the board.

IE: lame

I guess you can't be 100% cool.

You're in the high 90's

You just fell to the high 90's, as well. But stick with me. We'll get ya back up there. Just repeat after me:
E-V-E-R-Y T-H-I-N-G A-F-T-E-R "P-E-R-F-E-C-T M-A-N" S-U-C-K-E-D!!!!!

It's real easy....if ya listen to "Reflections of a shadow"...

I thought I knew you.

You thought you knew perfect, almighty and all-knowing metal knowledge? You are still a student young Kane. Your next assignment - play Execution Guaranteed and then anything they released on Gun records. Then do it again.

I may let you walk the paper of rice if you have attained partial enlightenness at that time.

I don't care for Reflections or Secrets, to be honest, but Missing Link and Trapped are masterpieces, IMO. Manny Schmidt really came into his own on those albums.
