Yeah, and Michael Bolton’s old band once opened for Ozzy. Doesn’t mean I’d listen to the cunt.
This was a song that was very popular in my secondary school for a while for no apparent reason, brings back memories.
Saxon-Wheels of steel

One for the guilty pleasures thread rather than here really. Some set of lungs, you wouldn’t kick her out of the leaba for ating a packet of chayse and unyon Taytos either.
Watched a Corrosion of Conformity gig from earlier this year on YouTube last night. It was class…Pepper Keenan back in the fold. I was so overcome with emotion, I posted one of their classics in the Smashing tunes thread too.

Saxon play Dublin in November
She’s playing the double neck guitar.
Metal chicks can be great. When I was a young lad they’d be the only ones poured into the jeans.

@Fran, you’re very quiet on this thread for a man that has a sepultura t-shirt in his Friday fashion collection.
Still one of the greatest opening tracks to an album…
Pantera - Mouth for War
Good stuff as always @ironmoth
Deftones were top notch last night, Chino in great form lepping around like a teenager ( possibly related to the frequent visits behind the drum kit in darkness between extended song sets).

Saw Deftones at Download a few years back, for some reason I thought they’d sound dodgy live but they were fantastic, highlight of the weekend.

You’d get a fair few complete munters at metal gigs, faces like they’d been bobbing for apples in a vat of acid, but there’d be a few roses among the thorns. Poured into the jeans as you say and absolutely filthy as well. 
They had a shabby enough live phase about a decade ago. Drugs, divorces, creative differences, that sort of thing. Then the Chi Cheng accident in 2008 left them in limbo. They seem to have found a new lease of life since his death, maybe it was a relief.
Nice one. Like @PhattPike, I saw them in Download too. Iron Maiden and Marilyn Manson were headlining. I was tripping balls for Deftones, but thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Killer thrash track from 1989 - Testament - Practice What You Preach
Alex Skolnick’s solo from 2:20 is outstanding.
