Top 5 of : The Angles at Narara (or how to deafen the Sunny Central Coast)

Gday


You may remember the Narara blogaroo I did many moons ago, I'll wait go look for it.....

So, I was watching a Max sessions interview yesterday and they were talking to the late great Doc Neeson about his time with the Angels...this has inspired me to do a top 5 about possibly the greatest gig Id seen up that point and within reason the greatest gig Id seen ever 

Yep, Narara , the night Doc and the boys deafened the Sunny Central Coast and Neeson performed an act of amazing ne're do well when he climbed the scaffolding in the midst of Marseilles to say G'day to assembled throng , he even gave a shout to us drunken yobs on the hill....


Top night all around , well, top weekend actually (except for the f**kin rope thief, look it up)...so I thought the boys deserved a top 5 of their own about the gig, so in no particular order, here it is

So there you go

enjoy the clips and....TURN IT UP !

TOP 5 : Manowar

NOW, I think its fairly well established that I like a dash of Dragons and Swords in my metal, thus my vaste appreciation of Power Metal...BUT...way back when , like 1980 -ish, I saw a video on late night tv that almost made me puke , these jackoffs were in their bedroom playing air guitar and carrying on , THEN they turned into what can only be described as Chippendales cavemen, suffice it to say my first viewing of Manowar left me less than impressed...

WARRIORS OF THE WORLD

A mate had an album and to be fair I gave it a listen and it wasnt too bloody bad .....so time went by and I hear that Ross The Boss had got the flick from the band and since he was my personal favourite I was left slightly miffed..

My power metalism expanded over the years into bands like Helloween, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall, Blind Gaurdian, Nightwish and Avantasia, and I lost track of the Manowar guys.

DIE FOR METAL

COURAGE

Then one day recently I was dicking about on you tube and I discovered Manowar doing "Warriors of the World" live, and to say I was super impressed isnt saying enough.

I BELEIVE

I was that impressed I went to my local purveyor of metallic style cds and or dvds and grabbed a couple of Manowar items ....yep, they were back on my radar and I'm having a heaps good time getting deafened by the boys .
Im even gonna go to their store and grab a dvd and a shirt or two.....sounds like a good idea to me right , you should too

THE DAWN OF BATTLE

ANYWAY....here's to the boys and their legion of fans (The ManoWarriors) may they live long and go down in history as a f**kin great band

HEART OF STEEL

BROTHERS OF METAL, SISTERS OF STEEL

BATTLE HYMN
