I found this today when I was clearing out a cupboard. I kept a stolen school jotter full of 'charts' when I was 13-14. Unfortunately I didn't have the foresight to date my charts so I just picked a random one out of the 60 or so I studious recorded in HB pencil.

20. All For You - Motorhead *
19. Caught In Time - Iron Maiden
18. In My Darkest Hour - Megadeth
17. Earthshaken Rock - Warlock
16. How Much Longer Must I Wait - Led Zeppelin *
15. Afterlife - Dream Theatre *
14. The Real Me - W.A.S.P @
13. Headless Children - W.A.S.P @
12. Queen Of The Reich - Queensryche
11. Why Can't Be This Be Love - Van Halen ~
10. Helter Skelter - Vow Wow #
09. Mean Man - W.A.S.P @
08. Ultimate Sin - Ozzy Osbourne >
07. Phantom Of The Opera - Iron Maiden
06. Firewoman - The Cult
05. Locomotive Breath - W.A.S.P @
04. When The Children Cry - White Lion $
03. Paradise City - Guns N' Roses
02. She's A Little Angel - The Little Angels +
01. God Save Me - Metallica*

NOTES (or perhaps a better titled EXPLANATIONS)
* No recollection of this song whatsoever.
@ Clearly I'd just bought W.A.S.P's 'Headless Children' album
~ I'm a bit embaressed about having a Sammy Hagar era Van Halen song in this chart but if it's any excuse I liked the synthy-Moog type thing that was on it.
# Wow indeed! Any one remember them? Crazy Japanese metal act. Very amusing in retrospect.
> I still have the video of this and it', quite frankly, the most baffling 4 minutes you will ever see.
$ I can't remember this song either but I'd imagine it was very very very very very very very very very very shite.
+ Even as a 14 year old I have no excuse for this.

I think that God Save Me is actually part of the lyrics for Metallica's One

...and I'd be disappointed if you didn't have this mix on cassette tape.

edit: Oh, and that Headless Children album is among the best that W.A.S.P. ever did. I think they even got that keyboard player from Uriah Heep to play on it. Yes, I'm full of useless metal trivia.

No Slayer? weak. "Why Can't This Be Love" - really weak.

No. Weak would be White Lion.

As suspected, it is VERY shite.

There's nothing wrong with White Lion. "WAIT! WAIT!"

Hey I've been looking through this book and it gets alot worse than that.

'Heaven Tonight' by Yngwie Malmsteen or perhaps 'When Passion Rules The Game' by The Scorpains (as I seem to have mispelt it through the entire jotter although in a way it's quite a fitting epithet) or better yet 'Beast From The East' by, of all people, Dokken.

Actually 'South of Heaven' gets a mention on the last ever chart I jotted down, much to my saving (inverted) grace.

This was my only experience with WASP - bought specifically for their cover of "The Real Me," which I didn't know was a cover at the time.

Yep...if I remember right, they were called Bow Wow in the States. Which is pretty stupid, really.

Out of all the Japanese hard rock/metal that tried to crack the US in the 80's I liked EZO best.

Speaking of Slayer...

I just found a mp3 of Player (Amon Tobin) "Angel Of Theft". Good stuff.

I kind of grew out of W.A.S.P. after they went all glammy with the Electric Circus album. I missed the blood and shock rock stuff. Thankfully, Lizzy Borden was still doing that...

I wish I could find that EZO album. I remember really liking it.

Vow Wow sounds familiar.

Dalen · **Posted:** Tue Jun 14, 2005 9:59 pm

a quick list off the top, focused mostly on traditional heavy metal sounds....

iron maiden - where eagles dare
judas priest - hell bent for leather
black sabbath - lord of this world
ozzy osbourne - over the mountain
motorhead - no class
dio - the last in line
queensryche - queen of the reich
slayer - the antichrist
yngwie malmsteen - black star
black sabbath - neon nights

Thanks, now I've got "Hell Bent, Hell Bent for Leather" stuck in my head.

Interspersed with "Neon Knights". It's a veritable Dio/Halford scream-off.

Mine would be mostly Sabbath and Priest tunes, I think. But I'm fickle, so I might just pick 10 Shape of Despair tunes just to piss people off.
