When I was a kid in the early 00’s I found an abandoned truck full of 80s metal. Still have a sealed copy of that LA Guns record I found there. I can’t imagine how many great records i left behind.

This outfit!! It's so authentic. You remind me of how my family used to dress. So fun

Girlschool were great friends with Motörhead. They collaborated on the St Valentine's Day Massacre EP, which was the first 7" I ever bought.

Was expecting some almighty Judas Priest with that hat! Great video R. But keep 'em coming where it counts

Those Candlemass.... classics!

In the spirit of kingdom come, in your face, I saw a t shirt this weekend that read "I love pho.... King"

Watching with 3.6 zoom 🔎👀😱

Haha I thought the Britny Fox song was “Save the Week” and I couldn’t work out what that could possibly mean! 🤣

Congratulations! You just struck vinyl gold!😍

Great outfit

Love the Girlschool Hit and Run. Thanks for the blurb on The Seahags truly a great underrated 80's band

Sometime around 86 or 87 I abandoned hair metal and starting getting more into.classic rock from 60s and 70s. I liked dokken, motley crue whitesnake,keel. But by 88 I was done with that stuff. Kingdom come were zeppitators. I did like do u like it from their second album. I had both of their first cassettes back in the day. Kingdom come is still around. My coworker is in a band and recently opened up for them. I graduated high school in 89. So this certainly my era.

The video I was waiting for !

That Nuclear Assault is a Classic record. Love it start to finish. Great video Robert. VG+

Respect the (hair) classics! Great showcase Robert: I find as time goes on, I've gone from referring to some of these bands/songs as 'guilty pleasures' to 'hey, that's pretty good after all!' Well done!

Wow some killer 80’s metal records here! I remember me and my crew back in the day loved that LA Guns LP almost as much as GNR Appetite! We had a Holy Trinity of Sleaze Rock with GNR Appetite, LA Guns and Faster Pussycat! Love that Britny Fox record! Thats not an easy one to come by! Great record! One of my fave albums from that era! Even the cheesy songs! However I was not a fan of Kingdom Come I mean the fact that they were a total Zep copy was not lost on us Metalheads back then! “Kingdom Come in Your Face” LMFAO! I always ask first?!? What do you say? “May I please come in your face? LoL! Great pick up on that Decline of Western Civilization ST! That movie was amazing! So fun! Dude are you serious? That Roky Erickson track on RotLD ST is one of the best songs on there! That scene in the movie is incredible! Great pick ups Mr Fithen! ✨✌️👽✨

Congratulations!! Love your enthusiasm!

That Cinderella album "Night Songs" reminds me of New Years Eve 1986 heading into 1987. I went to some party and the guy hosting it was like "I found this killer album. These are guys who look like girls, who sing like guys." I welcomed in 1987 hearing "Somebody Save Me". Yeah, it does not get more 80's than that!!

I love the LA Guns self titled I've been looking for one for the longest time, so jealous lol grats on those pickups

Awesome video as always, awesome score also, can’t wait for the follow up

The best part about Girlschool's Hit & Run is the song Take It All The Way. If that's what it is called. But I swear she's singing "We got chicken, on the way." Speaking of Freddy. Do you got his rock and roll album? I remember that album piled up in our record stores. Probably ended up being 99 cents still sealed. Been meaning to watch all 3 Decline movies. Not sure what extras are in the box set they released a couple or few uears ago. But I never seen the 3rd one. That soundtrack for #2 used to also be one of those 99 cent delete bin cassettes. Not sure where that store scored them all, but it was like there was 20 or 25 copies of everything. Another weird one was the Charles Mason tape of Lie. Speaking of Winger. I remember Beavis once caught a Stuartfish on maybe the Couch Surfing episode.

I got that 45 Grave album. Never listened to it, but I liked that song.

The name "Sahara" appears in the lower right hand section of the album cover. The band initially wanted to call themselves "Sahara", but that name was taken by another band at the time. Though they ultimately chose the name Winger, "Sahara" remained on the cover.

Great video , and i totally agree with Cinderella horrible name, but the music was pretty decent !

Love it when you dress up for the videos haha , nuclear assault nice! I have game over LP , haha my buddies mom loves kingdom come , we all went to a record show and she picked up that same copy you showed , I haven’t listened to them but loved how you described it haha , man awesome soundtracks too radical finds!

Wild collection. Great vid, Robert. 🤘

Well look it's Robert Andrew Dice Clay Fithen!

LOL....wasnt Trick or Treat the movie with Skippy from Family Ties. Classic!

Looking more Color Me Badd than metal (LOL) but I respect the effort. Real nice finds. I've not seen most on vinyl since the late 80s/90s. I saw Kingdom Come open up for the Monster of Rock tour. Was not a fan but they were a solid live band. Way better than Dokken who was middle on the bill. That's a great Roky song. Now you're talking crazy.

Very cool.thanks Robert!✌️

Candlemass , I agree, ahead of their time. Metal Blade records released so many cool bands. Proper respect to my bud Brian Slagel, President of MB

Nice score. Its crazy the money some of the 80s metal albums go for now. Candlemass is a great doom metal band. Very original like you said. They were basically the second doom metal band, the first was Trouble. I would be interested in thise Candlemass albums if you want to let them go. Cheers.

Some great records. I think W.A.S.P is the band Alice Cooper is referencing when he talks about a band ripping him off in Decline Of Western Civilization

Great stuff. I've been looking for a nice copy of Survive for years.

KIX was my favorite band from the whole L.A. 80s scene. Their album Midnight Dynamite was the best.

Oh man, you really need to look into Rocky Erickson. Definitely very different than 13th Floor Elevators, but his solo stuff is great! And as a plus for you, no electric jug! ✌️😎

Regarding Nuclear Assault lyrics being aimed at kids and their parents telling them what to do. I'm 49 and my 84 year old Mum she's still doing that lol. It's weird that I saw Nuclear Assault 4 times locally in England, I always presumed they were from UK because they were on line-up's with UK thrash bands every time I saw them. My friends brother auditioned as guitarist for them but didn't get in. He ended up playing with a band called D.A.M. who had some success but not the level of Nuclear Assault.

Killer collection. LA Guns!!!!!! Britny Fox!!!!!!!! Cinderella rules! Girl School did some collaborations with Motörhead. Kingdom Come!!!! Their second album, In Your Face is killer too.

Great score Robert!! I agree with all your assessments of those records, and I was a total metalhead for what it’s worth. Avoided Britney Fox for the same reason as you. The 45 Grave song was in the TV commercial for Return of the Living Dead. It was on TV all the time the month before the release. The song’s been stuck in my head since I was 14. Took me over three decades til I actually owned it and heard the full soundtrack version. Enjoyed the video! Hope you’re doing well! Cheers, Jon

Just watched part 2! Please do more of this, even though you’re visibly in pain speaking of these bands.

Love the soundtracks bro

James Gang - Bang ...

F-yeah. Killer records dude, horns up. Silly as some metal is it's fun and I find myself still listening to tons of it from that era. La Guns, enuff znuff, love hate,white Lion, tnt, kix, etc..etc...

Yellow pants please next time 🤤

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Robert also last night was my friends birthday also may the fourth be with you also happy star wars day may also congratulations ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

18:00 lmao as soon as he revealed that Kingdom Come's second album was called "In Your Face", I knew what the punchline to this bit was gonna be and I still started chucking before it even...came

I'm record collector and an artist by trade, and I draw primarily horror and music themed stuff. I'm thinking about taking some horror movie sound tracks to my horror cons to get signed by some of the actors. I dunno. Thinking about it, though.

Great collection. By now you may have become aware that the Black Roses soundtrack on vinyl is a major collectible. Certainly the most desirable of all the albums you have shown in this 4 video series - though maybe not for the music. Averages around $120 USD

You forgot the classic 70s Canadian muscle head “Thor” album! 😆 😂

That Nuclear Assault album is awesome. Ive been looking for their stuff for years and years. I still have my cassettes. They recently got back together and played a show in the last few years and the singer sounds exactly the same. How the in the hell he hits those notes im not sure but hes still got it. It's here on youtube. Nice finds!

Please do a video with your favourite album titles! You're hilarious and a total inspiration. Thanks! 🙏

L.A. Guns is wonderful and their 1st record is the one. Check out "Handle With Care" by Nuclear Assault. That Britney Fox bit was funny as hell! Gotta go. Will addendum later. Cheers!

Girlschool were quite popular here in Europe. Saw them open for Motorhead, they also had a UK hit single playing with them. Their popularity started to wane when they wanted to get a more American sound ( we call it the Def Leppard "Pyromania" syndrome) and failed. They even released an album for the US market only but apparently nobody seemed to care. Their first 3 albums are all worth having (Demolition, Hit&Run, Screaming Blue Murder).

We always referred to Kingdom Come as Kingdom Clone.

Britny Fox is made up of members of Cinderella who didn't make the cut when Cinderella got signed. Their first two albums are solid.

i promise i was looking at the vinyls the whole time

there are great metal albuns released in the 80´s but others are...don´t even know what to call it but i started to hear more metal bands when going to see concerts from several bands i had never heard but the concerts were incredible good and the way the instruments were played was incredible, i never had seen it , i started to go to Iron Maiden tours normally the opening band was an excelent new band, after i went to Slayer concerts ,those were a real show of lights and speed playing kerry king was incredible when young and at least since late 90´s it were even better the shows and the opening acts were the best bands that apeared then, bands like paradise Lost , system of a down, sepultura, etc.

80s Candlemass is goated

Scorpions last really good album was love at first sting in 84.

And Winger is probably the most underrated in that collection. Supremely accomplished musicians who got the short end of the stick from Mike Judge and his show Beavis and Butthead. Pull came out a year too late.

You should listen to Kingdom Come's second album, In your face. Much better than their first. More rock and less sounding like Led Zeppelin. Check them out. kzfaq.info/sun/OLAK5uy_kJBupyCrRXprUbdm1rTeQFm-3PYAypAOY

My favorite Girlschool ablum is the one after "Hit and Run" which is called "Screaming Blue Murder" (1982). Definitely their heaviest record and the first one of theirs I bought

I like Stone Fury which was before Kingdom Come.

The Scorpions 🦂 started off the 80's with the excellent Animal Magnetism ! Marissa Tomei does an excellent poledance to the title track in The Wrestler. Oddly , the song sounds like a doom metal / Alice In Chains ⛓️ combination. Not on my gift list 😒 is the Winger Boxset !

Girlschool did stuff with Motorhead. By that I mean music lol. They did some singles with Motorhead and toured with them.

Glad you're not wearing whipped cream with that outfit. I'll have to go back and listen to my Girlschool records.

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Hey Robert, it's the guy from England that told you to check out an album of Dickey Betts the day before he died! You don't need to reply but my Phillipino transgender wife that I thought was dead got back in touch and told me that she still loves me - you thought your life was nuts! I love your postings so much as you help to keep me insane. I'm not into metal at all but I loved your take on Cinderella ☺️ You mentioned Stiff Records and if I could make a suggestion, go pick up the "Live Stiffs" album and check out "Police Car"by Larry Wallis and then after that Google "To Know Him Is To Love Him" - the Phil Spector song but by Mick Farren (both of them were in a band called The Pink Fairies " but at different times). Keep safe and keep posting 🤣

Kingdom come was part of the monsters of rock tour summer of 88. Van halen scorpions. Dokken etc.

heavy score and what a deal. short story: i was working the namm show in the 90's and i got to talk to nicko mcbrain. he was real cool and took time to talk to me. at one point i put my hands on my waist and i elbowed someone but i didn't look behind me. after talking to nicko my friend said i elbowed kip winger in the gut. i was sorry but not that sorry.

45 Grave - Partytime (Zombie Version) is also in the 80s sex comedy Hardbodies, oddly enough.

Get Girlschool 1st LP. THEY ALSO PLAY ON MOTORHEAD

"Save the Weak" from Britny Fox reminds me of Motley Crue's "Fight for your RIghts" from Theater of Pain where they sing (badly) about race relations. Eye-rolling attempts to be taken seriously I guess? These are some great scores btw

James Kottak (rip) was the drummer on the 1st Kingdom Come album. Not Matt Sorum. Great finds. KC were underrated imo.

My favorite metal song from a horror movie has to be “Leatherface” by Laaz Rockit on Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3. That song is bad ass!

DOWC II is by far the best one. The first punk rock one is just depressing. I love the Germs but Darby Crash was a mess. Wish she did a Grunge one but I guess Hype was kinda filling that spot

saw Cinderella open up for David Lee Roth at the Cow Palace in SF. Not too bad. Good music, bad name and perms.

Good Lord, Vinnie Vincent Invasion, haha. No "Speedball Jamm"?

Gnah, no scorpions

The metal you are talking about is referred to as cookie monster metal with the gargling vocals.

Lemmy liked Girlschool.

Hey Robert, I don't want to sound like a smartass, but Candlemass have nothing to do with gothic rock or gothic metal. Candlemass, are the pioneers or even the inventors of the so-called Epic Doom Metal. The first four albums are essential masterpieces that everyone should hear at least once.

Long way to love by Britney fox is a cool tune.

LA Guns !!!!

You kinda look like Darby Crash!lol

oh man i want that Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Thats my favorite of the series. Let me know what you gotta have for it.

Queensryche.....waaarrrrnniinng waaaarrrrrnning!

Winger has a box set?!?!?111

Is this your late period Klaus Meine costume? 😂

Kingdom Come ... in your face...reminds me of The Monkees "Head." --> What did you get at the record store? - I got head from the monkeys...

Hi Robert - Did you realise that Girlschool came close to a number 1 single in UK? - A collaboration 'EP' with Motorhead called the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre". Called themselves 'Headgirl' while playing together. The track that got all the radio airplay was a cover of 'Please Don't Touch' (Johnny Kidd and Pirates) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qb92qrFe0Zqaomw.html Got to about 4 or 5 on the official BBC chart, but did make no.1 on the alternative unofficial 'Network Chart' used by independent radio stations in UK at the time. The flip-side of the EP had Girlschool covering Motorhead's 'Bomber' - And Motorhead covering Girlschool's 'Emergency' I bought the vinyl EP when it was in the charts, and still have it in my collection.

I disagree, Roky Erikson 's -Burn The Flame is awesome !!!

Based on what you said about Kingdom Come, what are your thoughts on Greta Van Fleet?

What's the reason for the person selling it? Did his family member die, or did they need the money urgently?

I guess the statute of limitations is now up for frank admissions of pirating videos. I may or may not have had 2 vcr's for purposes of copying movies, just in case the feds come for Robert lol.

Bitchin' haul, dude

sorry but your look is more of a early 80´s breakdancer and rap singer or tellin`it how it is, not to ofend, i had a friend who was a real metal head but when older he went to the concerts with a lacoste pink pullover and a yellow burberries shirt using of course chinos from lee and sail shoes from a brand i can´t remenber ,all looked at him in the concert but he was 2 meters high very strong and a face that could scare anyone byut he liked to sing along with the songs so he could have been a metal band singer as he singed perfectelly lot´s of metal bands like Slayer, early metallica albuns , Death, and celtic frost, his favorite bands ,now something diferent he´s the only person i know that as ride the lightening in green instead of blue ,does that mean any thing ,i used to say that if he showed the record to a metal store he might have right to some award as it was the only i ever saw and not fake

Im sure the metal records were probably in the collections of my whole High School class. There were three of us who were more into punk and hardcore. But i did like Iron Maiden. Ill laugh hysterically if Helloween or Lizzie Borden pop up.

Some of latter period hair metal bands were just atrocious. Trixter, warrant, winger, white lion,slaughter firehouse,danger danger ,stryper even poison. Most of them that came out after 86 were just gawd awful. It started out cool. Bands like ratt fastway,dokken triumph krokus,y@T. I even liked motley crue at first. Same with bon Jovi. Then it just came 110% cheese fest. They all had the same formula and of course a power ballad. Then around 1991 the title wave came and just washed all those bands right off the planet. The beginning of grunge. Even established bands like maiden and priest broke up or their singers left. Same with motley crue.

Definitely not Mint. Mint is absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed. Looks like a nice copy thou - but just not mint.
