Metal Discussion / Blind Loyalty

Been on my mind a while. There are so many bands I was into when I was younger and could not get enough of them. I hoovered up everything they released. I was always so excited when a new release was announced and bought it immediately. So many times I was disappointed. The obvious culprits are Metallica, Iron Maiden and Slayer. However, after Draconian Times, I was constantly disappointed. Still I bought the albums. After Imasges and Words, disappointed again. Still I bought the albums, hoping a return to the style which attracted me to the band in the first place. Entombed and Queensryche too. Anyone else go through this? And, at what point to you just give up on these bands that once you thought were so fantastic?

Lots of great gigs there indeed!
Slayer, Sepultura (opening for In Flames), Monster Magnet, WASP, Anthrax (a few times) Korn, Annihilator (opened for Trivium), Fear Factory and Machine Head played there loads of times. There was a slight gradient towards the stage from where the old cinema seating used to be. Will check ticket stubs for other gigs.

I think it was 1990 when I got a copy of this. Acid Reign, Dream Theater alongside House Of Lords and Magnum was so diverse. And with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, it covered a lot.

This is where it all began for me

I really suffer from insect bites and find that a dab of Bonjella mouth ulcer gel on the bite works really well to relieve itching.

Any reason why they are billed as "Crown of Love" on MCD website??
