Agreed on all counts.I did like Jake Busey playing the son of Gary Busey’s character,”Peter Keyes” from Predator 2-Cool nod.

Not surprising at all.Par for the course.

Agreed.This movie had a ton of studio interference,especially regarding the plot and the ending-which they re-shot,and not for the better.Some good concepts,yes-But it became to convoluted with the whole Autism subplot,the DNA and that ridiculous Marvel like “Predator Killer” suit at the very end.

Agreed.The next film in the franchise is “The Predator” from 2018.I recently watched it last week,and unfortunately it’s still as bad as I remembered.Its hard to fathom that Shane Black directed it,being that he starred in the original Predator from 1987.

I thought “Predators” was a very good film.Really good cast-I actually liked Adrien Brody as Royce,being that they went against the typical stereotype of a muscle bound character.

Michael Denner once more.The outro solo to “Black Horsemen” is one of the best on the entire album.Like a soundtrack to a film,it conveys everything from despair,triumph and tragedy.Also,the beautiful acoustic solo during the intro is Denner as well. youtu.be/RltB-zbqT6o?... #Metalsky #Kingdiamond

Another Michael Denner appreciation post.I love Denner’s solos on this track,very much rooted in the style of Schenker,with excellent melodic phrasing and timing.Andy LaRocque’s solo is from 1:50 to 2:30-Great as well. youtu.be/hHw1olE91YM?... #Metalsky #Michaeldenner #Kingdiamond

I always wished this instrumental was longer.I spoke to Michael about this track,and it was originally 5 minutes long. Denner wrote and played all of the guitars on this track-It was decided to make it an intro of sorts to “Come To The Sabbath.” on DBTO.Beautiful. youtu.be/x2nx3IZp808?... #Metalsky

So sad.I know you lived in the US for a number of years Tom.The US is certainly not the country it used to be.What a sad commentary.

My favorite as well.As a matter of fact,”Rocks” is my favorite Aerosmith album-Their best in my opinion.Just the way the song kicks in,and Brad Whitford immediately is tearing your face off with that solo.

New Venom track(Not Venom,Inc.with Tony Dolan).I actually like it,very tongue in cheek,with the obvious references to the song “Black Metal.” It sure sounds like classic Venom to me-Cronos with his unmistakable vocals,with the “Anthemic” chorus. youtu.be/MliONHbEBno?... #Metalsky #Venom

Absolutely I love early Queensryche.I agree about the reaction videos on YouTube, with well trained vocalists(Especially Opera)-I’ve seen nothing but amazement and praise for Geoff’s vocal ability,and the band as a whole.

I’ve said it once,and I’ll say it again-No one was touching Geoff Tate in the vocal department during this era-including the three vocalists that are always mentioned-Halford,Dio and Dickinson.Early Queensryche was phenomenal. youtu.be/eHGsOj0A_Cs?... #Metalsky #Queensryche #Geofftate #Heavymetal

The best version of this song hands down.Dokken unplugged,(except for George).Taken from the One Live Night album.Jeff Pilson is such an underrated multi-instrumentalist.Jeff on Piano,Don on acoustic guitar and vocals.Mick on percussion. youtu.be/6dp0ICnAUHA?... #Dokken #Metalsky #Jeffpilson

Amazing song.Having Graham Bonnet,Gary Barden,Robin Mcauley,and Doogie White on vocals,along with Chris Glen and Ted McKenna(RIP) is nothing short of superb.And that chorus which is sung by Graham-Incredible. youtu.be/D2VtSdZHKbE?... #Michaelschenker #Metalsky #Hardrock #Heavymetal

I absolutely love Pat Travers.His live album,”Live- Go For What You Know” is legendary.The lead intro or “Theme” to “Stevie” was “Borrowed “ by Mercyful Fate for the keyboard/guitar interlude in “Come To The Sabbath” from Don’t Break The Oath. youtu.be/tAOM_PX8W-I?... #Metalsky #Hardrock #Pattravers

Bravo Rick.Great song.For some reason,I immediately could picture Paul Rodgers doing vocals on this track as well.
