Accept and Destruction are another great bands to see
Decent tune, be great live. Hoping they announce an Irish date but I will certainly travel if I have to. Pretty sure they will be at Bloodstock in England but a sweaty club gig would suit me better.
Good?It is good to hear the band sound exactly the same as they did 30 years ago!
Minus the good production, minus the power and minus the fury, but yeah.Nice song. It is good to hear the band sound exactly the same as they did 30 years ago!
Pile of Skulls for me, but Black Hand Inn is close. The Brotherhood has a series of bangers too (I actually rank it above the post-BHI trilogy).Black Hand Inn was their absolute peak, with every song being an instant classic smash hit.
Masqarade has many good songs. And maybe a bit different. Just a bitPile of Skulls for me, but Black Hand Inn is close. The Brotherhood has a series of bangers too (I actually rank it above the post-BHI trilogy).
I put together a best-of playlist of their discography recently. For Masquerade - Rivalry - Victory - The Brotherhood - Rogues en Vogue I picked:
- Lions of the Sea
- The Rivalry
- Adventure Galley
- The Ballad of William Kidd
- The Final Waltz
- Tsar (aka the Mother Russia tribute, but might be the best song in the trilogy)
- The Brotherhood
- Siberian Winter
- Pirate Song
- The Ghost
- Rogues en Vogue
- The War (underrated gem)
Yes the post-reunion material is nowhere any good as it used to be, but it's physiological when one and the same guy has been writing the majority of songs since the 1980s. If a reunion had to happen, I would have preferred them to just become a 'play the classics' band, like Twisted Sisters.
One thing Rolf should get at least minimum credit for, is that he still has some voice and has re-learned the songs with the solos. And even if he mostly picks easy-to-play shorters, he made an effort and closed with Treasure Island in this year's tour.
What? Are they touring again?Pile of Skulls for me, but Black Hand Inn is close. The Brotherhood has a series of bangers too (I actually rank it above the post-BHI trilogy).

Yes they did a mini-tour this summer. The Barcelona gig is on YT:What? Are they touring again?
