Woah it's the tour from which they shot "Made in England" with the iced stage!

Yes! The Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour! Unfortunately, I don't remember many things because of my age then... however, I feel proud that my parents took me in there!

My dad brought me there because he thought this "alright I'll bring him to see this shitty thing, my son will see how shitty this whole metal world is and he will give up on it".

Hhahaha nice story! Hopefully you remain metal

I grew up listening to Scorpions, Kiss and Iron Maiden from my parents. My first ever concert was back in 1988 when I was 2 years old  and Iron Maiden came in Athens. However, the first metal album which I bought with my own money (after cleaning and ironing at home...) was the ''Paranoid'' of Black Sabbath at the age of 13. 

When I listened to the CD for first time, I was so surprised and happy! I guess this moment marked my whole life... Since then, I remain loyal to metal!

Teenage Ninja Turtles, Street Sharks

Loved them so much  

I am from Athens, but the last years I live in Sofia, BG. Hopefully, there are many metalheads here too...

Well, about the bootlegs I can agree haha. I have never heard of Battleroar to be honest, but I do love Rotting Christ ? I will check them

I like Ride the Lightning and my fav song from this album is the "Fade to Black".

However, Metallica was ok until the moment they performed with gaga... since then I experience love/hate feelings for them...

Your tastes are definitely "greek". Somehow your country has remained true to heavy metal's golden age, with a penchant for obscure bands.

Some of my faves from the 80's:

Witchfinder General - "Witchfinder General"

Angel Witch - "Free Man"

Witchfynde - "Moon Magic"

Thin Lizzy - "The Sun Goes Down"

Strana Officina - "Autostrada dei Sogni" (italian lyrics)

Warning - "Satan Relapse" (french lyrics)

Budgie - "I Turned to Stone"

Satan Jokers - "Offrande" (french lyrics)

Death SS - "Vampire"

Axel Rudi Pell - "Cold As Ice"

Uriah Heep - "Too Scared to Run"

Thanks for your suggestions!! I like your comment about the "greek" tastes Where are you from?

To be honest, I don't know for the other Greeks, but indeed, I personally prefer the older heavy metal, with a perchant for the cult and obscure bands...

How can someone's favorite Judas Priest track be a leftover ballad from the "Turbo" era that got resurrected for the 2000's JP Remasters?

 

It's called "personal taste" and even more... personal experiences

Hi metalheads,

I am new in this forum, but I am definitely a metal lover.

Do you have any favourite European Heavy Metal or NWOBHM songs to share? I am looking to enrich my playlists and I would be happy to listen to songs that I don't know or remember. If you have rare ones even better. 

From my side, I share these ones: 

Sortilège - Amazone - France 1983 (french lyrics)

Westfalen - Devil's race - Belgium 1985

Overdrive - On the run - UK 1981

Randy - Shadows are falling - Denmark 1986

Too many nice songs from Judas Priest. My favourite is ''Prisoner of your Eyes''. 

"The only card I need is the Ace of Spades" - Lemmy

King Diamond (and Mercyful Fate)

Purgatory, Strange world, Wasting love
