I'd like to encourage fellow MI staffers to do the same and post some pics. I know some of them have some pretty good shit, too. (Please post the autographed Danzig gatefold)
I don't even remember where/when I got this, but I'm glad I did. Do you know how many chix I've gotten 'cuz of this limited edition 7" Anthrax picture disc? Yup! Not one.
Still one my favorite records in my collection. When we bought it, we had no idea what Wehrmacht would sound like. They blew our mind off!
I think I got this record as a "gag" birthday gift. I didn't find it funny, I found it RAD! After that opera thing he did with Gogmagog, Paul Di'Anno blessed us with this jewel.
Do I need to say anything about this? Wild Rags + Bloodcum = sweet vinyl! I guess in the Araya and Hanneman households, all the talent went to to Tom and Jeff, respectively.
I have no excuse for owning this. I bought it in Austria. I payed like $7. I know... I'm sorry.
The note reads: "Kurt- The Great Kat is God!!" Duh, of course she is! I have no idea who Kurt is, I stole this record from the radio station I used to work at a billion years ago.
For now, I'll leave you with this image. I like Helloween.
BIERMACHT is a fucking amazing record. I back that.
ReplyDeleteWehrmacht album was fantstic, but a little too weird at times. i don't mind the super short songs (i'm no poser man, i can appreciate those) but didn't it have a locked groove on one of the sides? maybe i'm thinking of an accused song with the kids singing that song? okay. maybe i'm loosing my mind. still, the band name is a bit, uh....odd. anyway, they toured in europe with cryptic slaughter. that show would have been bananas. i'm SURE tankard opened a few shows in germany.
ReplyDeleteInteresting you bring up Tankard. How do people feel about Tankard? I might do a Retroview on those fuckers. I really dig them.
ReplyDeleteI think the locked groove you are talking about is in Accused's Martha Splatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told
.
I own that WEHRMACHT LP, too. I found it in mid-nineties in the most underground shop in Milan...ZABRISKIE POINT...R.I.P.
ReplyDeletePeople feel good about Tankard. The first two albums are great! Haven't listened to anything newer than that since, eh, 1991 maybe?
ReplyDeletestill going strong

oh, i knew they were still around, i just wanted to know if there'd be any interest in a tankard retroview. im gonna do it anyway, it's not like anyone wants to read 90% of the shit here :)
ReplyDelete.
i love that bloodcum record, i bought it for 99 cents in high school at some shady store in Everett, WA
ReplyDeleteWe'll give you 15 bucks for the Hasselhoff...Okay, 20 bucks tops.
ReplyDeleteI know Tom Araya's bro was definitely in Bloodcum but I'm pretty sure the Hanneman guy was just a crazy coincidence. Good stuff though - I always really dug Death By A Clothes Hanger. There was definitely some crazy great stuff that was comin out on Wild Rags at this time.
ReplyDeleteI'll defend the real early Helloween stuff (ie self titled 12", Wall Of Jerhico) but the stuff after that is not really my cup o tea.
His real name is Joey Fuchs. They listed him as Hanneman as a joke.
DeleteIn the beginning pearl hunting was the only means known for harvesting pearls. A little before the start of the 20th century divers manually pulled oysters from ocean floors and river bottoms and checked each one of them individually for pearls.
