I have to give a shout-out to Alfenar on this
time to get down and nerdy with Sandy Kruger from SACRED FEW and she brought a
bunch of records in so we're gonna take a look first up we have FACES "A Nod Is
As Good As A Wink (to a blind horse)" quick history I had an apartment fire in 1981
lost my entire record collection and this is one of the only survivors this
is one of the very first albums I ever bought old record club of America
you know you get ten albums I think for a buck or something like that's how my
brother hi Steve and myself we built up our album collection was that a mail
order type thing or what do you mean yeah it was mail order yeah yeah and you
had to commit like once a month once a month you you had to like send them your
money and pick picking albums so we do it every other month you know I had one
month and then my brother would have the next month and so on oh so that was one
of the best ways for kids who don't have a lot of money to build up a record
collection at least four back then JUDAS PRIEST "Sad Wings of Destiny" that looks
brand freaking new so one of the first metal albums that I ever bought back in
the day yeah when I when I lost that album collection you know metal was out
and it was out front and it was what I was into at the time so I didn't I
replaced a few things of that original collection but I was buying pretty much
all metal for a long time and that was one of the very first metal albums that
I bought and it's still a favorite to this day yeah classic IRON MAIDEN "Killers"
this is also one of the very first metal albums I bought the song 'Killers' itself
was like the dictionary definition of metal to me I mean when I first heard it
it just blew my head off literally the entire album just basically blew my head
off how do you top that that and "Sad Wings..." how do you top that you know you
don't hey guys SCORPIONS "Love Drive" I have to give a
shout out to Alfenar on this I'm gonna add this one into the naked
bodies you know little chest shot right there anyway Alfenar this is for you
SCORPIONS "Virgin Killer" and Alfenar showed this as well I gotta tell you this was
this the alternate cover too - this is the alternate cover and I was hoping it was
in color because I wanted to get into guys wearing red pants you know you
you wanted to get into their red pants? or you wanted to get into guys that were wearing red pants?
that's the red pants yeah no Uli Jon Roth rocks the red pants very good look
I'm going through my album collection I'm like oh crap they shot it in black and white
yeah darn it so anyway so much for the guys in the red pants do you have any
favorite musicians that wear red pants I'd have to think about I
can't think of anyone in particular because I never really.. red pants I
don't know so what did the SCORPIONS mean to you as a band
everything really I I am such a huge fan and they are such an influence you know
Uli Jon Roth he's my number one favorite guitarist Klaus Meine is one of
my most favorite vocalists I mean they were just a pioneering band especially
for the time that they came out you know music incredible vocals incredible
guitars incredible just incredible yeah you know it's it's just one of those
bands that hits you you know I could listen to them a thousand times you know
what it's not enough I'd have to I have to listen to him a thousand times
more yeah it's never enough you know yeah I love them they're probably my
most favorite band you know honestly yeah
70's SCORPIONS 70's yeah so needless to say you are entranced with
the SCORPIONS so this one's autographed too so yeah how did you get that you
were just right time right place or well that was a Jager influenced moment oh
okay we used to have a club called the Jigsaw and this is going back to 2008 so
would have been Uli's third time here now mind you folks he never came to the
states until 2004 and he could not believe the fan base that he had here he
I don't think he had any idea till he came here so we hung
around after the show because he wanted to meet the fans and he was signing
stuff so a couple of friends of mine and I we were we were the last in line and
we were all loaded at that point yeah and I remember I spilled his wine glass
I think I'm the one who nudged it
was talking to him a little like by the way would you sign my album
but I still have that flyer
sitting on the table too and he signed the flyer now the cool thing is
the flyer has a wine stain yeah so anyway I'm sure he remembered that and then you
know they're doing their SCORPION set on the stage and I'm in the front and I'm
yelling he he's like tell me what you want to hear I'm like "Sails of Charon" and
I'm yelling at all these songs and you know and and and another thing he said
to me at the end of the night there yo you're the one I saw you
yeah I said yeah that was me how have you embarrassed yourself in
front of your heavy-metal heroes let us know in the comments below and make sure
