The Music Thread Strikes Back

Doubt it gets much play here (I have a bunch of nominees that would probably elicit confused stares), but…

Good point.
Breaking The Law opening British Steel is pretty iconic.
 
Priest could have their own section!

Painkiller opens Painkiller
Ram it Down opens Ram it Down
Freewheel Burnin' opens Defenders of the Faith
The Hellion / Electric Eye opens Screaming for Vengeance
Heading Out on the Highway opens Point of Entry
Exciter opens Stained Class
Sinner opens Sin after Sin
Victim of Changes opens Sad Wings of Destiny

All utter, utter bangers

More recently Firepower was an absolutely blistering Priest album opener

“Metal” “Korn”

u wot 😉
 
Megadeth are quite a good seam to mine for this

Love to Deth - Killing is my business
Wake up Dead - Peace Sells
Into the Lungs of Hell / Set the World Afire - So far so good so what
Holy Wars - Rust in Peace
Skin O' My Teeth - Countdown to Extinction
Blackmail the Universe - The system has failed
 
Holy Wars is the only real option there IMO. But I am… not a Megadeth fan.

Just being an ass; I think there’s a real discussion to be had about where nü-metal actually falls in the genre spectrum. I just remember for years it was the “I’m a real metalhead” thing to just dismiss the genre entirely (outside of RATM, tho whether they’re even nü-metal or not is itself a point of contention).
 
Just listened/watched the first live performance of the 'new Rush'
Playing one of my early favourites.
Anika Nilles is solid enough, not Peart obviously but she shouldnt be compared, glad she's gone with her own style rather than be a Neil Peart tribute.
Geddy getting plenty of shade for his vocals. Its not surprising he struggles with the high notes of the early stuff, he basically avoided any high pitched stuff on the R30 tour and that was yonks ago. Maybe he'll get stronger as the tour progresses.
Alex Lifeson was sublime as ever.
Glad I saw them in 1992, won't be taking out a mortgage for the UK shows this time.
 
Possibly not quite the right thread but,
While most of you were suffering that debarcle last night me and the missus went to the Regent, Stoke to see 'Sunny Afternoon.'
Excellent show with superb performances. Just the right amount of storyline/music for me. The music of the Kinks is always a winner (while I accept music is subjective, I'll have no truck with any other opinion). Never ceases to amaze me just how talented these people are, all the cast could, act, sing and dance to high standards and the musician ship was awesome, many playing 2 or 3 instruments.
 
In a similar vein I thankfully missed out on the joy of Wolves last night as I went to see Slowhole in Nottingham.

They were awesome!!
