Word around the campfire -- it was Calhoon the drummer who most wanted Doug Wimbish in the band. They were big mates already, allegedly... πŸ˜—

Muzz Skillings was (is) fantastic... πŸ˜₯

I think that's got 'Love Rears' Live on it, with Muzz on bass - which is great. πŸ‘

I'll have to dig it out of the loft..... coz I can't remember that. All I can remember is a really dark, depressing, sad experience which confused and upset me in equal measure

Kiss - Alive II. Double album (3/4 of it live), the gatefold sleeve, the live pics, the band at their peak in 1977. Prime time Kiss in a nutshell. Try Double Platinum for a double studio compilation from same era.

Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic or Rocks from band’sΒ 1970s stint, or Pump fromΒ their 1980s/90s phase.

Iron Maiden - Live After Death (album or DVD). All you need.

You could condense this thread down to just saying go an buy the greatest hits/best of album or the first live album any band puts out.

Yup, in a nutshell most bands should've probably stuck to making singles and putting out hits compilationsΒ and live albums. For my money The Who, Rolling Stones, Queen, Kinks , Eagles,Β Blondie, QuoΒ and many more besides made better singles than studio albums.

Back in the 60s and especially the first half of the 70s, bands were generally either singles bands (TOTP stuff) or album bands ('serious' music, pretentious prog, depends on how you feel) and most people I knew were interested in one or the other - very rarely both.

The 80's and some of the 90's too mate.
