RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Now playing Judas Priest and their Breaking The Law Single which has Metal God's on the B Side. A brilliant single with such a memorable riff. The music video for the single is wonderful too, certainly very amusing. I still have the free patch too 😎🤘🎵🎸🎸🎶 #Music

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Another single and this time it is Love Potion No.9. a cover by Tygers Of Pan Tang. B Side is The Stormlands which along with the A side features John Sykes prior to his departure to join Thin Lizzy. Artwork on the picture disc is by Rodney Matthews and from the Crazy Night's album 😎🤘🎵🎸🎶 #Music

Now spinning some Venom and their Manitou single. I have been looking for this single for some time so was delighted to pick up this shaped picture disc recently 😎🤘🎸🎵🎶😈 #Music

010

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Now spinning what for me is one of the very best live albums of all time. Thin Lizzy certainly had a huge influence on my music preferences for years to come. Every song is for me a masterpiece and Still In Love With You is wonderful 😎🤘🎸🎸🎵👌

070

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

More live #Music and listening to this 1976 release from Rush. All The World's A Stage for me has everything and encompasses songs from their first 4 albums. Highlights for me are the whole album, especially Neil Pearts drum solo. This album in a word is excellent 👌 😎🤘🎸🎵🎶

020

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

After a spot of gardening, it is time for more #Music. Deep Purple and their Made In Japan live album. For me one of the best live albums released and always enjoy immersing myself in the music. Child In Time for me is probably Deep Purples best song. Absolutely auperb stuff 😎🤘🎸🎵👌

000

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Afternoon #Music session engaged and listening to Rainbow On Stage. Recorded in 1976 on the Rising Tour this is a very good live album. Music on it is fantastic especially Man On The Silver Mountain and Mistreated (A Deep Purple song) 😎🤘🎸🎵

030

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Time for some sleep and what better way to relax than with Motörhead at full volume. This live album from the Snakebite Love tour in 98 is a great live snapshot of the band at that time. Lemmy, Phil and Mikkey put in a great performance & I rate this up there with the NSTH live album. 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵♠️ #Music

010

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Next up is an EP from the Canadian trio Rush. An album of 8 songs that the band were inspired by in the 60's era. All given the Rush treatment and excellent stuff it is too. The Seeker, Summertime Blues, Shapes Of Things and Crossroads all sound excellent 👌 An exceptional band 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵 #Music

010

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Now spinning the first Megadeth album I heard. Peace Sells... is still a superb album from beginning to end. Every song a killer and not aged at all. Certainly one to listen to if you've never heard it. Brilliant stuff 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵 #Music

030

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Now spinning the Battering Ram album by Saxon. Not heard this in a while so pleasantly surprised how good it sounds. Not my favourite from the band but still a good album with some good songs on it. Title track, Kingdom Of The Cross and The Devil's Footprint are my favourite songs 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵 #Music

050

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Some Scorpions next for the evening #Music session and their Lovedrive album. The first album with new guitarist Matthias Jabs is very good as also features the guitar work of Michael Schenker. A mix of Hard Rock and a couple of Ballads makes this a great start for this era of the band 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

020

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Now spinning for the afternoon #Music session is Rainbow. Bent Out Of Shape is the final album to feature Joe Lynn Turner and Roger Glover. Despite a more commercial feel, this is a very good album full of great songs. It even has an instrumental, Snowman, based on the song Walking In The Air 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

020

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Some afternoon #Music now and beginning with UFO and their Obsession album. Michael Schenkers final album from his original tenure with the band and a good release too. Some great songs on it especially Only You Can Rock Me & You Don't Fool Me. Keyboards a bit more up front on this release 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

030

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

More morning #Music and spinning ZZ Top's First Album. A very good debut album from the Texas 3 piece and shows signs of what was to become a top class band. Brown Sugar certainly a big favourite of mine from this album but plenty of other very good songs throughout 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

000

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Some morning #Music with the debut album from Mercyful Fate. Melissa is such a good album and King Diamond on vocals is so unique. A vocal range that really hits those high notes throughout. Sherman & Denner twin guitar attack is brilliant. With Venom, this is top quality Black Metal 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵🇩🇰

000

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Now spinning some Scorpions and 1982's Blackout album. This was the first tour that I got to see them live and they were excellent. A very good album and enjoy listening to this frequently. Another album that has no weak songs. Standouts for me are the title track & No One Like You 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵 #Music

040

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Now spinning Force It 2021 Remaster. UFO released this album in 1975 and it stands the test of time really well. Let It Roll & Shoot Shoot get the album off to a flyer. Plenty to enjoy on this very good release and one of the bands stronger albums 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵 #Music

040

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Evening #Music session commencing with Rush and the excellent Signals album. A more synth heavy album than previous releases but it is still a superb album. Not a bad song on it and still play this frequently. Subdivisons, Losing It and Analogue Kid my favourites from this release 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

010

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Afternoon #Music session and listening to Saxon. Carpe Diem for me is one of their strongest sounding albums, full of very good songs. The Pilgrimage is a particular favourite of mine from this release. Still delivering top quality Heavy Metal 40 plus years after their debut 🤘😎🎶🎸🎵

030

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Now spinning Fandango! by ZZ Top. Released in 1975 this is an album with one side live and the other side studio. I really enjoy this especially the songs Tush and Heard It On The X #Music 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

040

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Some Rainbow next and the excellent Rising album. Even after 50 years this release still sounds brilliant from beginning to end. Not a bad song on this and Stargazer is still probably my favourite Rainbow track. Blackmore, Bain, Powell, Dio and Carey created #Music done to perfection 👌 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

060

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Some Motörhead next for the evening #Music session. The final album Bad Magic marked 40 years of Rock & Roll played at extreme volume. As a finale this is an excellent album with Lemmy, Phil & Mikkey all on top form. A real highlight is the covering of The Rolling Stones Sympathy For The Devil 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

020

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Some evening #Music and listening to Rush and the Vapor Trails album. A rather different release as gone were the keyboards and synths, just guitars and drums. Released in 2002 the band remixed it in 2013. I prefer the remixed version myself. A very good album especially Ghost Rider & Earthshine 😎🤘🎶

010

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Next up is the 3rd album from Venom. An interesting album as side 1 is the nearly 20 minute song At War With Satan. Side 2 is more in keeping with the previous 2 albums. Rip Ride, Cry Wolf and the title track are my highlights. Another album best played at high volume for best effect 😎🤘🎵🎸🎶 #Music

140

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Next up for the #Music sesson is Defenders Of The Faith from Judas Priest. The follow up to 1982's Screaming For Vengeance is a very good album. Just a shame it finished with a couple of poor songs. Highlights for me are The Sentinel, Rock Hard, Ride Free & Night Comes Down 😎🤘🎵🎸🎸🎶

020

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Good morning everyone and some morning #Music to wake the neighbours up to. The Number Of The Beast is still a very good album and the introduction to Bruce Dickinson. I still listen to this regularly and hasn't aged at all, unlike me. Hallowed Be Thy Name certainly my favourite song on it 😎🤘🎵😀🎸🎸🎶

Good morning all and starting the day with some Judas Priest. Everything about this album is excellent including the cover artwork. The intro pairing of The Hellion/Electric Eye always lifts me. Not a bad song on this album and still have the original. Heavy Metal done to perfection 👌 😎🤘🎶🎸🎸🎵 #Music

050

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Now spinning on my #Music session is Degüello from ZZ Top. One of my favourite albums of theirs as particularly enjoy the bluesier songs. Favourite song from this album has to be Cheap Sunglasses which is excellent 😎 🤘🎶🎸🎵

040

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Evening #Music and listening to Envy Of None. The debut album and EP are both very good and well worth checking out. Features the talents of Alex Lifeson, Andy Curran, Alf Annibalini with vocals from the very talented Maiah Wynne. Western Sunsets is in memory of the late, great Neil Peart 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

020

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Evening #Music session started and this gem from Marillion. It is still my favourite album, mostly for sentimental reasons. Still remember buying my original copy back in the day and laying back to enjoy listening to it. Excellent musicianship and Fish was a superb lyricist. Great stuff still 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

020

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Motörhead next for the afternoon #Music session. Aftershock was their penultimate album and extremely good it is too. Some great music on this and all 3 musicians on top form. So many great songs but Dust And Glass & Lost Woman Blues stand out for me 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

010

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

More #Music and some Rainbow. I really enjoy listening to Straight Between The Eyes as there are some great songs throughout this album. Tearin Out My Heart, Stone Cold, Death Alley Driver and Eyes Of Fire my favourites from this release 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

072

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Starting my #Music session this afternoon with some Dave Brock. Earthed To The Ground is his first solo outing and some of the songs have appeared on Hawkwind albums over the years in some shape or form. Title track, Green Finned Demon and Sweet Obsession are my standout songs 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

010

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Last #Music spin of the night and some Magnum next. On A Storytellers Night is a firm favourite of mine and play this one regularly. Excellent songwriting and musicianship makes for great listening. Highlights for me are the title track, How Far Jerusalem and Les Morts Dansant 👌😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

010

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Now spinning one of the best Iron Maiden albums ever. Along with the debut album, this is still my favourite and played my original to death. This is the 2015 remaster and very good it is too. Not a bad song on it and best played at extreme volume 👌 The cover art is amazing too 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵 #Music

040

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

More evening #Music and Gillan next up. Their last album Magic is a lot better than I recall so pleased I gave this a spin. Some good songs on this one and particularly enjoyed Demon Driver, Living A Lie and Bluesy Blue Sea. The cover of Stevie Wonders Living For The City is good too 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

020

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Some evening #Music and listening to that wonderful Canadian trio Rush 🇨🇦 Test For Echo is a good album but certainly not up there with my favourites. Some very good songs throughout especially the title track, Driven, Totem & the excellent Resist. Suffers for a few weak songs but still good 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

More afternoon #Music and a change of style now. I recently saw Marillion in Bristol and I was delighted that they played the title track from Afraid Of Sunlight. This is one of my favourite albums from the H era of band. Full of great songs from start to finish 👌 😎🤘🎶🎸🎵

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

A wonderful afternoon in #Somerset with some #Birdsofprey. Certainly an experience not to be missed and seeing these beautiful birds up close was excellent. Daughter chose well with my Birthday present from a few months back 😀👌

RipperMetalGodRich @ripperrich.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Afternoon #Music session engaged and starting with some Judas Priest. This is the American version of the Killing Machine album. Released as Hell Bent For Leather it includes the extra song The Green Manalishi (With The Two Pronged Crown), which was a Fleetwood Mac song. Wonderful stuff 👌🤘🎵🎸🎶
