NIKKI SIXX (1981)
Whiskey 1981. I think it was their 2nd Show that I first saw them at the Troubadour. They were playing 9pm and 11pm but Tommy broke his main kick drum head so they stopped. He had MOTLEY and CRUE on the front heads. So, he used one of those for the 11pm show then started doing these different front heads. Saw the Crue SO many times and was stoked for the band to get that US Festival gig in 1983. It really introduced them to everyone outside of Hollywood. / Peter Thomas Kearney
BLACK SABBATH "AUDIMAX DER FRIER UNIVERSITÄT, BERLIN, WEST GERMANY" (JUNE 26, 1970) [CONCERT/AUDIO]
From the uploader: This is among the earliest recordings of Black Sabbath playing live. It's a rather excellent sounding audience recording, though not all the tracks sound good. This is the alternate, later version of the (mislabeled) "Live at Plumpton" bootleg, compiled in 2010. It has been combined with audio from another source to provide a more complete recording (hence the few poor quality tracks.) Like the other source, you can hear Ozzy singing some early versions of songs with alternate lyrics. The most notable of which is Walpurgis, the original version of War Pigs -- before it was adjusted to be an anti-war song. It is worth noting that this gig took place a few days after the Paranoid album was recorded -- so, by this point, the songs had indeed been updated to reflect the lyrics present on the album. However, it is possible Ozzy was having trouble remembering what those lyrics were, and he defaulted to these earlier versions in a pinch.
This is the later, complete recording of the gig, and unlike the other source, it has N.I.B. placed in the proper position. It has been distributed as the "Lost Berlin Tape" among collectors.

HEAVY METAL CHART (1979)
Found in the wild so I don’t know the date, but the persons post said 1979. So at least we got the year.
WINTERS BANE (US) "WINTERS BANE" [DEMO TAPE]
Genre: Heavy Metal
Year: 1991
Country: US
Notes: Recorded at Primetime Studios in the bands hometown Akron, Ohio. This was their first release and what a release. A sure sign that true metal hadn't changed in quality because the calendar said the 80's was over, it was the media and the mainstream crowd that changed and wanted something new.

The singer B.C. Richards is nothing short of amazing with his 'Michael Kiske-ish" voice. It's such a shame that he didn't have a better career in the scene. I really hope he had a good one outside of the metal scene.

REVIEWS THAT DIDN'T AGE WELL: BLACK SABBATH "BLACK SABBATH" (1970)
Lester Bangs, with a review of Black Sabbath’s debut album
“Over across the tracks in the industrial side of Cream country lie unskilled laborers like Black Sabbath, which was hyped as a rockin’ ritual celebration of the Satanic mass or some such claptrap, something like England’s answer to Coven.”“Well, they’re not that bad, but that’s about all the credit you can give them. The whole album is a shuck — despite the murky song titles and some inane lyrics that sound like Vanilla Fudge paying doggerel tribute to Aleister Crowley, the album has nothing to do with spiritualism, the occult, or anything much except stiff recitations of Cream clichés that sound like the musicians learned them out of a book, grinding on and on with dogged persistence.”“Vocals are sparse, most of the album being filled with plodding bass lines over which the lead guitar dribbles wooden Claptonisms from the master’s tiredest Cream days. They even have discordant jams with bass and guitar reeling like velocitized speedfreaks all over each other’s musical perimeters yet never quite finding synch — just like Cream! But worse.”
