Metal Discussion / Re: Good Bass Lines

Stuck on Budgie "Never Turn Your Back on a Friend" for the first time in years, so many good basslines throughout the album but this thread just popped into my head during "You're the Biggest Thing Since Powered Milk".

Worm - Forceverglade

Warning - Watching From A Distance

Tiamat - Wildhoney (never got into this as much as the previous albums and never listened to anything they did after... Am I missing anything essential?)

Aggressive Perfector- Havoc At The Midnight Hour

Harrowed - The Eternal Hunger 

Witching Hour - Descending...  Where Time Has Ceased To Exist (don't think I would give it a score quite as low as Thorn's, but it isn't going to end up in my end of year list either - I don't mind the vocals at all and the riffs are great!).

Deceptor - Reign of Terror (this might make my end of year list - old school Death/Thrash on Dying Victims a couple of months ago.  Nothing new but it has been hitting the spot for me).

Quote from: Anvil on September 28, 2026, 01:53:16 PMPeople who think it is okay to park over your driveway.   Asked them politely not to do on Saturday, and they are at it again just now.   Tried to claim there is nowhere else to park, when the estate is empty  :laugh:

I'm pretty sure thats illegal. Cant you get the peelers or someone to tow it away? They wont do that again.

I'm in the north, so from what I can gather and have been told... if you are parked in the drive and someone blocks you in, definitely illegal, if you are trying to get in, a more grey area in the law.  I don't think they will be doing it again after the conversation I had with them on Monday.

I'll have nothing bad said about the first three Anvil albums.  Feel free to go to town on the rest!

Not guilty.   I didn't buy my first Anvil album until the 2000s  :laugh:

As I am bored in work... There is a UK & French version of Metal on Metal listed on Discogs with a 1982 release date, so it would have been available to purchase over here.  According to Google AI... Kerrang gave it a glowing review and championed it (but I can't find were the AI program actually pulled this info from so no idea if it has just made up or not...).  Maybe not a bluffer but I was 4 in 1982 and more interested in Basil Brush and Metal Micky according to my parents.

Quote from: Don Gately on October 01, 2026, 12:38:28 PMAh lads Aming the living is classic thrash. Was in hospital with a broken leg when this was out and listened for it non stop.

At least you didn't suffer a brain injury unlike some of the others posting in this thread! Among The Living is such a good album.
