Thank you for the honorable mention of one of my all time favorite bands, Y&T - Black Tiger. This is the first video of yours that I have even heard you mention them. I was beginning to wonder if you even knew of them. Tragically, very few have and a band as good as Y&T should be more well known. Dave Meniketti was Ozzy’s first choice to replace Randy Rhodes at guitar, but Dave is also a great singer and didn’t want to give that up. Y&T fans are very happy about that too!

Good stuff and many good records, but you and I both know which record is by far the best from 1982, Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance is #1 and Rob Halford is The Metal God 🤘
1. Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance 2. Kiss - Creatures Of The Night 3. Rush - Signals 4. Night Ranger - Dawn Patrol 5. Plasmatics - Coup D'etat 6. Y&T - Black Tiger 7. Venom - Black Metal 8. Accept - Restless And Will 9. Heavy Load - Death Or Glory 10. Manowar - Battle Hymns
judas priest screaming for vengeance / accept restless and wild/ death penalty witchfinder general / scorps blackout/samson before the storm/ iron maiden number of the beast / anvil metal on metal/ twisted sister under the blade/tank filth hounds of hades / mamas boys plug it in
BLASPHEMY! lol Ironic that was the first word that popped into my head when thinking of Number of the Beast. But even I knew what your #1 would be and I am not going to argue too much, it's killer. Top three for me are always going to be Children, Acacia Avenue & Hallowed. They all surely make my top 100 songs of all time. And from one record. Restless and Wild, one of the first heavy metal albums I ever heard, my 'Sahib' of metal had it and it is awesome. From the start with the - I'm guessing - traditional German folk song through the closing track Princess, really solid to to bottom and my fave of their stuff. Got lucky to see them open for Maiden a couple years later at Nassau supporting Balls & Powerslave, respectively. Not a bad gig to see.. I may have include Hanoi Rocks in the list but not sure if they're metal. Probably not. But Oriental Beat is filled with good stuff. Not real familiar with many of the others and I should be. Will 'czech' them out.
1. More - Blood and Thunder ( Killer On the Prowl) + Riot - Restless Breed 2. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast ( Prowler) 3. Bow Wow - Hard Dog ( Gangland) 4. Loudness - Devil Soldier 5. Mercyful Fate - Mercyful Fate EP 6. Split Beaver - When Hell Won't Have You 7. Virgin Steele - Virgin Steele 8. Manowar - Battle Hymns 9. Legend - Death in the Nursery 10. Accept - Restless and Wild Handicapped Wildcat - Satanic Yoga Girls, Diamond Head - Borrowed Time, Lucifer's Friend - Mean Machine, Sammy Hagar - Standing Hampton, Jaguar - Power Games, Anvil - Metal on Metal, Twisted Sister - Under the Blade , Manilla Road - Metal , Bitch - Damnation Alley , Armored Saint - Armored Saint EP , Axe Witch - Pray For Metal, Cloven Hoof - Opening Ritual , Ogre Father - Lost in Lucifer, Witchfinder General - Death Penalty, Nightranger - Dawn Patrol , Hyksos - Hyksos, Chumbi - US Metal. All really good. 1982 might be the best year for Traditional Metal. Although Nightranger isn't Metal, a few songs from Dawn Patrol were pretty close
1 Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast 2 Y&T - Black Tiger 3 Diamond Head - Borrowed Time 4 Nightranger - Dawn Patrol 5 Kiss - Creatures Of The Night 6 Accept - Restless And Wild 7 Manowar - Battle Hymns 8 Krokus - One Vice At A Time 9 Scorpions - Blackout 10 Twisted Sister - Under The Blade
Heavy Load and More win for me this year. Both amazing, totally forgotten albums. Oh and the name of the Heavy Load song is “Might for Right” not “Might for Rock”
Am I missing something or is that Demon album the better than all the rest! I’ve listened to other Demon albums IMHO they don’t measure up to the Unexpected guest!

Respect for your knowledge of metal.
Demon is such a great band.
All great Albums But one Of My Favourite Albums From 1982 is Anvil’s Metal On Metal A Very Underrated But Awesome Album
1982 also had a couple of good live albums I really enjoy. Black Sabbath - Live Evil and Ozzy Osbourne - Speak of the Devil.
Venom 🤘🏻

Nice vid! 83 next? Also where did u get that RATT shirt?
Thanks and Prob not next but will definitely do it at some point... and I just searched “Ratt shirt” on eBay
Death Penalty by Witchfinder General and Volume 1 by Pagan Altar (though not officially released, it was recorded in 1982).
Btw, I know I Blundered earlier by saying Mob rules was in 1982, but I also thought Diary of a Madmen was also released in 1982 until I checked it.
Love the Ratt T!
Good stuff and many good records, but you and I both know which record is by far the best from 1982, Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance is #1 and Rob Halford is The Metal God 🤘

I would pick Demon over any of them, it's easily best album of the year for me.

Heavy Load and More win for me this year. Both amazing, totally forgotten albums. Oh and the name of the Heavy Load song is “Might for Right” not “Might for Rock”
Slight mistakes were made... but yeah More is cool too, I like their first album Warhead a bit better and had it pretty high up on my 1981 list
Am I missing something or is that Demon album the better than all the rest! I’ve listened to other Demon albums IMHO they don’t measure up to the Unexpected guest!
Judas Priest rules!!!
3 bands on this list didn't really exist anywhere in any format in america at the time or the 80s in general so they weren't part of the wave
