Celtic Frost. “Circle of the Tyrants.” 1985. If there’s a family tree of metal bands, CF are one of the strongest roots, or branches [Sabbath is the Earth, Iommi is god] because no matter how many times you hear this, you’re reminded each time of the impact it had on generations to come.

Honestly in 1990 in London of all places, it was actually fun — a big singalong 😆

Maaaaybe I don’t recall that cover, I think they Dave & Marty might have been on the cover… and it might have been Guitar World or Guitar School, sorry 😭

Narrator: “…it was October 1990 and Megadeth were headlining the Clash of the Titans fest. Tickets were £14…”

It was such a simple little cartoon — and it described it perfectly. I wouldn’t even know how to find it today but that illustrator got it bang on the money.

Look at how Mustaine plays with such fucking intensity and purpose. You can see just how tight his left forearm is — he’s really pressing down on those strings.

It’s up. 🔝

Megadeth. “Go To Hell.” 1991. Guitar World magazine did an article on Dave & Marty, and they had this little caricature of the two of them playing guitars — and daggers were flying out of Dave’s fretboard while hearts flew from Marty’s. This clip sums that up perfectly.

And slow bass intro which reprises for the inevitable slow bass outro.

Hard to argue — although at least there was something more interesting about the song structures behind the choruses. I’ve usually felt like they hit that ad nauseum repetitive chorus era for real with The X Factor. See: Blood on the World’s Hands. You can literally feel the boredom. 😖

Judas Priest. “The Sentinel.” 1986. There are 2 reasons why this is one of the best Priest songs of all time:

KK Downing & Glenn Tipton
