Edit: I had never heard of them before stopping at the, gas station? It had to be a gas station, when I saw the tape, they were obviously metal. Had to have it. Then riding in the car Walkman blowing my mind. I remember eventually feeling confused because they were mostly very heavy but they had songs about girls too. I know their history of gaps after key albums but I believe that confusion is why they didn't succeed more. But I love them for it.

Me and Sean are seeing Anvil at Turf Club in April, yes 2019. Metal on Metal and Forged in Fire 1982 and 1983 are incredible sounding albums to this day. Seen the movie?
It was a good show. Sean said there was way too much smiling for a heavy metal concert - on and off stage. The bass player totally gets it. They opened with March of the Crabs followed by Mothra, and after that they were warmed up, speachless. In the end four songs from Metal two from Forged. Unfortunate Born to be Wild encore
They sure look tired don't they? Kirk Hammett always looks so fresh and frosted
No, that reason is wrong, every 70s band did that, but parts of Metal on Metal are pretty heavy, and Kill 'Em All came out the NEXT year. I was looking for dedicated Heavy at that point. It's a great album. Later I discovered so is the next album Forged in Fire. So second and third albums kill, not first. The rest really don't. Like Raven, only the early stuff
