Heavy Metal Tones

Back in the late 1970's and early 1980"s the musical landscape was a fluid and unpredictable place. In this was born Punk , New Wave, Heavy Metal and much much more, one band straddled the genres and helped create one completely on its own. The Skids are that band this weeks chat is about the classic album that not many remember but should be up there with anything XTC, The Stranglers, PIL could and did put out at that time.

So lets see if I get it right it was a tough one and on occasion the lyric analysis was live.

In 1981 the world was a different place, a place where anything went and punk had charged the worlds youth with the anyone can do it attitude. So three talented young men from the north of England smashed the burgeoning NWOBHM scene apart by creating a whole new genre. This is their call to arms and it’s raw, angry, fast and addictive.

A slightly different show this week no music involved, for the spooky season Id thought I would recant some my personal Ghost stories not all of them as I will save the rest for a part two one day.

They are not edge of your seat stuff apart from one. But you will have to wait to the second part of the show to hear that one. Keep safe this Season and if you are going chasing spooks take a leaf out of my book and be careful.

This weeks dive into a cult classic is a surprising album that is hidden away from the eyes of the mainstream but should be celebrated for its ambition and its vision.

Sabbat have crafted one of those albums that gets under your skin that has more in common with Genesis The lamb Lies Down On Broadway then it does with Slayers Reign In Blood.

A uniquely British sound that you wont here anywhere else.

A slight change of plan this week i was going to just talk Helloween but changed my mind as i was having so much fun trawling my way through Power Metal.

I do plan to return the band in the future.

And i do skim over them but for the die hard fans you may have to wait a little longer.

This weeks episode took a few attempts to record, it may have been the universe telling me ranking the Metal God's solo albums is folly. But what fantastic folly it was.

So what are your favourite albums or songs from his solo albums. Im excluding anything with Fight or his other collaborations just his own purely solo stuff.
