METAL Ping List!

[Captain Beyond]

Some of them I totally agree with. It is good to see Frank Marino made the list. I think he is very under rated. It is also great to see Def Leppard’s “High & Dry” made the cut. It is an awesome album that gets lost in the shuffle.

But not to have Judas Priest's twin guitar work included is just so wrong on so many levels. Glenn Tipton and KK Dowing set new heights for guitar attacks. The albums “Hell Bent For Leather”, Unleashed In The East”, “British Steel”, Screaming For Vengeance”, & “Defenders Of The Faith” are bench marks for guitar rock.

Then also not to have ZZ-Top in the top 50 just does not make any sense what so ever. The Reverend Billy G has got to be one the most inspirational guitarists around.

I think Blue Oyster Cult's “On Your Feet Or On Your Knees” and “Some Enchanted Evening” should have been there. The guitar work on those two live albums is phenomenal. I still get chills every-time I put them on. I spent hours working out their live solos. I mean there is much energy packed into those runs.

And the obvious how can they not include Captain Beyond!

Some of those on the list I have not listened to in while. I will need to go back an revisit a few of them to see if I am missing anything. Thanks for the ping.

Here are three more that should be on the list.

The Four Horsemen

I know these guys had some the worst band luck ever but those two albums are packed with Heavy Guage, Solid, Guitar work.

Then there is AC/DC's Powerage which should be listed.

And how could I forget Uncle Ted.

Ted has guitars WFO all the way on these two albums.
