Segue Myles Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 8 hours ago, J2112YYZ said: I also wonder what they were thinking naming the album Virgin Killer? That idiotic choice falls completely on the band. The song lyrics are a clumsy attempt to tell you that time essentially robs you of innocence. Which is still a clumsy title, but make that the album title AND add the artwork, you're left with cringe. Of the "you might get arrested buying this album in public" variety.

Segue Myles Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Helloween- Walls Of Jericho I never realised Keeper pt1 wasn't their debut! Walls Of Jericho came up in conversation on a group I'm on today, and I can see why its beloved by the fan base. What a strong debut! Definitely can hear the influence they had on Blind Guardian (though I think that BG's first two albums were better than this overall). Helloween are fantastic. I don't think they come close to BG overall but I definitely enjoy them a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional wrestler Chris Jericho got his wrestling name and the name of his finishing move (the walls of Jericho) from this album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Triumph- Allied Forces Helloween- Pink Bubbles Go Ape I think it's truly amazing Helloween made a global impact. I know they came first, but my GOD they have a tonne of terrible albums. Pink Bubbles is bad but its also amongst their least awful. And yet I'm enjoying them, go figure 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Dio-Sacred Heart (8/10) I remember when i was getting into Dio Everything thing i read said Sacred heart was a letdown. and I guess in the context of those first 2 it is......but still really enjoy it Particulary the title song, Rock And Roll Children, Just Another day and Fallen Angel. Hungry for Heaven as a single would have rubbed the strict metal bros the wrong way and Shoot Shoot have possibly the stupidest hook i've ever heard but i really like everything else.

I'm not sure why Helloween are iconic amongst metal bands, because their friends and fellow German natives Blind Guardian do everything so much better, bigger and grander.

Iconic is not a word I would use to describe them. Iconic is bands like Maiden, Metallica, Priest. Overall they're mid tier in the grand scheme of metal. Their first three albums help build the groundwork for the power metal genre and that's pretty much it. They're not that big of a band and they have been pretty much living off those three albums for close to four decades now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember them being really revered in my formative years as a metal fan. Maybe I'm remembering them as being a lot more popular than they actually are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
