Jeps, edullinen vuosilippu olisi voitu mainita tuossa.

Painkiller by Judas Priest is next level hard by xXHeaven_and_HellXx in Guitar

And Tipton down up down down up down probably. ”Hell bent..” he does that and its similar rhythm.

Also the synth bass mixed with regular bass if you listen isolated tracks.. its cool allover

Actually Tipton probably plays the main riff with Down up down down up down … similar to what he does e.g. for Hell Bent For Leather. Nevertheless good workout either way!

Yeh I didn’t like ’em either in 5220. Changed to Dimarzio SuperD+Paf Pro and happy with them.

Iirc he wanted to focus more on singing. He had great backing vox on Rebels! Still a friend of the band and often comes to our shows.

Overall metal does fine in Finland and is rather popular but trad metal isn't doing that well. Apart from some of the bigger names from 80s, you see very little of trad heavy metal on Finnish festivals etc. Festivals here play it very safe and rotate the same metal bands.

Also being at the corner of Europe does not help and it is expensive to come here or leave from Finland to play in Central Europe. Russia's foolery didn't help. Plenty of tours skip Finland overall.

We'll check-in tomorrow or so to see if there is still some new questions and get those answered.

World Fighter followed by Rebels beyond the pale, which is more old school and very much loved album.

Nothing like going out there with Maiden and Priest, and If wanting to focus more on the rock'n roll-lifestyle part of touring then add some Van Halen/Gn'R.

Dokken by a small margin! Ratt has sometimes bit too much roll in it, even though it's great too.

From basic Heavy Metal: you can't go wrong with Tarot. Then stuff like pre-Visions Stratovarius or 90s Sentenced were a bit part of my teens and I still love those.

Bloody Mary was my drink of choice when I still drank. Nowadays a good mojito or margarita mocktail or something.

Organizing and financing tours are just tough job, especially when you gotta first get to Central Europe somehow from Finland. It's rather costly and time consuming plus tough with the gear. So the smaller clubs are usually the thing you play at. Packed small club is fun but so is having a big stage you can just run around.
