On December 7, 2025 Iron Maiden shared the news of Nicko McBrains’s retirement from touring.
While perusing Iron Maiden’s catalogue, I started listening to these records one after another for a reason.
These three records have two things in common and they are:

These three records have two things in common, and you know what they are.
Coming up n the next post.
Late last night I received an email containing the link to download Kerry King’s debut solo record “From Hell I rise”.
Just earlier today, Amazon delivered its exclusive Silver/Red Marbled Vinyl of the record.
I’ve listened to most of the songs prior to last night and the whole record obviously sounds familiar. I like SLAYER and I like this record too.
I also ordered a copy of the record direct from Kerry King’s official website. According to USPS, it is still en route.
…paragraph deleted because it sounds pretentious and pedantic. 😬
Anyway, I am looking forward to the next record from this lineup.
I preordered Slayer’s “Show No Mercy” 40th Anniversary Edition, Liquid “blood” filled vinyl directly from Metal Blade Records shop. It was priced at $199.99 + sales tax; and friend thought that I was crazy. I’m a huge fan of Slayer and it’s worth the price.
Shortly after the preorder was sold out, numerous posting on eBay priced this limited edition vinyl at $999.99 and supposedly sold out too. I do despise eBay scalpers. They shouldn’t be allowed to resell preorders.
Now that the actual product is delivered, the price has gone down to $800.00 and $699.00 on eBay.
Scalpers are profiting from true fans.
This time, add TWO letters to “ruin” an album title.
One seminal record from Slayer that defined the sounds and attitude of many Metal bands for decades to come.
Getting ready for Slayer at FivePoint Amphitheater in Irvine, California.
We’re going to miss Testament and Behemoth, since we’re still on the way to the venue.
Parking is an issue.
We’re in the venue now. Missed Anthrax’s set.
Lamb of God is playing a few minutes after 8:00 pm.
It looks like Slayer will start their set around 9:30 pm.
