There are news about the 4th SAMSON box-set of remastered albums, check it out.
It contains: Look to the future (1988); Refugee (1990) and P.S.... (2006). Plus many bonus tracks.
I'm working on an interview with John McCoy (Samson 1979/1986; Gillan; Mammoth). I think you will love it.
Added new interview:
BILLY FLEMING

The interviews so far:
Nicky Moore (Samson 1982-1986; Samson 2000-2002)
Mick White (Paul Samson's Empire 1986-1987; Samson 1987-1989)
Peter Scallan (Samson 1989-1990)
Billy Fleming (Paul Samson's Metallic...
I can easily see him saying those things.
If so, then he's totally blind like Daredevil. Not only SAMSON made great records, they also discovered him, nurtured him and put him on the map.
"drunken shenanigans" - great name for a new NWOBNM band. LOL. Not for an old NWOBHM legend which died...
My honest guess:
1- Iron Maiden
2- Metallica
3- Slipknot
I don't know if Metallica outsold Maiden in terms of record sales (I doubt), but Maiden will be ever regarded as "more important" than Metallica anyway, no matter what.
Thank you so much, Zare, I'm very happy to being here!
And I'm an Iron Maiden fan too. Of course, there are Iron Maiden albums that I love a lot, and others than I love less. I guess it works that way for almost anyone here.
There are various degree to the term "masterpiece", sure as hell. "The Number of the Beast" will never be regarded as an universal masterpiece the same way "Dark Side of Moon" is by almost anyone in the world. There are different degrees and levels. Different leagues, if you want.
Paul Samson...
Yes, and I'm fine with it.
There's no need to engage ourselves in puerile and childish debates. Hulk vs The Thing. :D We were talking about Bruce's book and his claims on his book, after all.
Your personal opinion, just an opinion. From "Survivors" to "Joint Forces", all albums were masterpieces. And even beyond that, they did great albums anyway. Paul Samson just mixed hard rock with blues. He was doing his thing, like it or not.
There is no "Samson vs Maiden" debate. They are two...
Barry confirmed this and then... if you think about it for a moment... do you really think Harris wanted the Thunderstick character in Iron Maiden? Thundersrtick and Eddie together? Too much gimmick for a single band.
Thunderstick described the rehearsal they did when Steve wanted him back in 1980. It's the truth. I just can't find the interview. Steve did not want the Thunderstick persona, pure and simple. They already had Eddie.
Fantastic interview. Thank you so much for posting this. Paul was a genius and SAMSON made 10 masterpieces (the official albums). One day, people will realize that, I'm sure and confident.
