Loved this album from day one, I got an advance tape at least two months before it came out. The image was stupid and obviously trend chasing but the music was solid and what Priest should have done at the time. Their second album was decent too but I remember they sold next to nothing and could only play clubs at the time. Bad career move apparently but not as bad as Two.

Accept - Midnight Mover Manowar - Gloves of Metal Dokken - Breaking the Chains (Limahl from Kajagoogoo on lead guitar!) Rock the Night by Europe is pretty bad too, but also fun because it's filmed at the old Hard Rock Cafe here in Stockholm. You'd walk in and be on the set of the video, it barely changed until it closed last year.

Judas Archives vol 1 has almost everything that there is in terms of non-album tracks. The only obvious omissions are to me 1. Heart of A Lion off the Metalogy compilation, 2.

Reanimating the thread as there is a remastered box of the WB albums out now (last year actually) and it is an improvement - Skyscraper almost overcorrects and becomes too bass heavy :) CFTH: I like it for what it is. Not an album I listen to a lot but the songs are good and the videos are stone cold 80s MTV classics. EEAS: DLR making a classic VH album and succeeding. Somehow the sum is gr

No. Check the timelines. Crimson Glory as a band formed in 1983, a year after Queensryche's debut EP first came out. The drummer and one guitarist played together in Pierced Arrow before but it's hardly the same band.Just like Crossfire and The Mob weren't Queensryche, they were a cover band with 3 of the members. CG are great but not quite as good as the first three Queensryche albums. T

Indeed. Some RC releases are even impressive. Dokken's Tooth & Nail for example always sounded like garbage, the Rock Candy version is the first time it sounded reasonably good. The recent Andy Pearce remaster also sounds ok but I prefer the Rock Candy version. Europe's Out of this World is also a clear improvement on the original - which sounded good to start with. I was a bit disappoint
