Ozzy Osbourne,Scorpions,Def Leppard,Motorhead/UK 1986

Taper, who lives in the UK, has masterfully captured famous scenes of British hard rock and heavy metal in the mid-'80s, such as BLACK SABBATH's recently released "SEVENTH ZONE", and has brought them to us today. I'm telling you. This work to be released this time is definitely one of the best for him! In 1986, when the popularity of heavy metal was at its peak, Ozzy Osbourne was the headliner, and all the bands and performances from the 7th "Monsters Of Rock" held in Donington, England on August 16th. Introducing an amazing super title that is a complete package of songs with wonderful recordings! This recording consistently boasts outstanding clarity and visibility with no noise such as hiss, and the performance from the stage is also captured in a well-balanced manner with a good sense of distance. WARLOCK's live performance in the first half of Disc 1 has a strong bass input, but as the show progresses, the sound improves, and by the time the performance of DEF LEPPARD on Disc 3 is reached, the sound is missing and the sound is profound. It is a wonderful live recording that has a spacious atmosphere. As it is an outdoor festival, the voices of the audience around the taper are also picked up, but this is within the appropriate range for enjoying the vivid atmosphere of the venue, and I am surprised at the sound quality, which can be said to be the ideal image for audience recording. It would be no exaggeration to describe the overwhelming volume and spectacle that spans a total of 6 bands and approximately 6 hours as a monumental piece of rock history left by the famous taper! Disc 1 includes performances by Germany's WARLOCK, who opened the festival, and British comedy rock band BAD NEWS. Following the host's announcement, WARLOCK appears on stage, and the festival begins with "Earthshaker Rock." At that time, WARLOCK's songs "HELLBOUND" and "TRUE AS STEEL" were praised, and they were rapidly rising in the scene. The powerful and melodious performances typical of German musicians become even more appealing at live performances, and Doro Pesch's singing also gives off an energy that transcends gender. If you read the live report from that time, it seems that this WARLOCK stage was well-received by the harsh British fans. Listening to “Love In The Danger Zone” and “Burning The Witches” makes sense, and this momentum probably culminated in the band’s next work “TRIUMPH AND AGONY”. The live performance of “True As Steel” and “Hellbound” was a highlight! Next to appear is the comedy band BAD NEWS, which is unique among these members. They were originally a group of British comedians who dressed up as characters on TV shows, and are similar to America's SPINAL TAP. Produced by Brian May, they released a (heavily parodied) cover of Queen's ``Bohemian Rhapsody,'' which became a hot topic in the UK. At this live show, that "jocular spirit" is on full display, and the listeners will be surprised in many ways, such as the jaw-dropping MC and performances (which can hardly be called good). “Bitch Hell Mother” and “Motorbike” are dumbfounding, but their stages like this are also interesting, unique to the metal scene at the time. It may be a shock to more serious metal fans, but I hope you enjoy it while laughing as it is a document of the festival that captures the trends of the time. (Thank you to Crazy S., who also recorded this stage. applause!). Included on Disc 2 is the performance of MOTORHEAD led by the British-born hero Remy. This pattern was included in the "ROCK 'N' ROLL" deluxe edition released in 2006, which included a bonus soundboard sound source broadcast on "Friday Rock Show". However, this work is a privilege unique to high-quality audience recording, and even parts that cannot be enjoyed with official sound sources are depicted with a realistic texture! This festival is an important stage for the band, as it also serves as the unveiling of their first full-length album, ``ORGASMATRON,'' produced with Worzel and Phil Campbell. The band's performance with explosive sound is more spectacular than ever, including not only "Iron Fist", "Killed By Death" and "Ace Of Spades", but also new songs "Nothing Up My Sleeve" and "Built For Speed" is. However, an unexpected turmoil occurs during this live performance. They have objects (probably fireworks) thrown at them by the audience, and Lemmy is furious after they play "Steal Your Face." This scene was cut from the broadcast due to Remy's excessive sword curtain, and when you listen to such a happening with a high-quality recording like the original sound source, its vividness becomes even more noticeable. Listeners will also feel the tension here, as if they were ``witnessing an incident.'' In addition, it includes two encore songs, "Bomber" and "Overkill", which were not officially recorded, making this a happy CD for MOTORHEAD fans who can say that it is the definitive version of the same day's sound source. (Unfortunately, Wurzel, who played guitar on this stage, passed away suddenly the other day, which was a big shock to his fans. We dedicate this work, which includes his playing from days gone by, to him and express our humble condolences. ) On Disc 3, you can experience DEF LEPPARD's historic revival in heavy metal history with the most amazing sound ever recorded for an outdoor audience at the time. It was their stage that attracted the most attention at this festival, as it was their return to live performance after two years since the accident that occurred at the end of 1984. From the opening intro, the band received an enthusiastic reaction from the audience, and many audience members were singing along with Joe Elliott during “Stagefright” and “Rock Rock.” Rick Allen's play, which has returned with a special drum that uses a machine, is so powerful that it is hard to believe that such a painful event occurred when listening to the sound source alone. To support this, the powerful “Another Hit And Run” and the big hits “Photograph” and “Rock Of Ages” entertain the wonderful atmosphere that tells the band’s sense of unity. The set is basically made up of songs from ``PYROMANIA'', but you can't miss the fact that ``Love And Affection'' and ``Run Riot'' from ``HYSTERIA'', released in 1987, have already been featured. point. The refreshing and gorgeous sound that captivated even the average American listener is a striking contrast when compared to the rugged and rustic performance of MOTORHEAD, who just preceded it. This is probably what makes the festival so interesting. Since it was their first live performance in a while, the overall performance was a little rough around the edges, but this moving document that captures their entire comeback stage will keep you entertained for 65 minutes without worrying about any minor issues. Masu! Disc 4 contains live performances by SCORPIONS, who have continued to rise to stardom as a world-famous band since the release of ``LOVE AT FIRST STING'' in 1984. The set list here is almost the same as the official live work "WORLD WIDE LIVE", but their presence is guaranteed to make any fan go " As expected of SCORPIONS!'' The sound quality is almost perfect, and the intense rock numbers such as "Coming Home", "Blackout", and "Bad Boys Running Wild" that are played in quick succession will knock out even if you are not a SCORPIONS fan! Even in the middle of the live performance, there is no shortage of famous songs such as "Make It Real" that makes you listen carefully, the catchy "Big City Nights", and the exquisite ballad "Still Loving You". The set that condenses their charm in the 1980s will draw you in even if you are used to listening to it. SCORPIONS replaced Ozzy as the headliner at the European version of "Monsters of Rock" that followed. As if to prove their ability, their performances of "Another Piece Of Meat" and "Dynamite", which were live highlights, were high tension and energetic. The live show, which lasted over 70 minutes until the grand closing with "Can't Get Enough," clearly showed the potential of SCORPIONS as a world-famous band! And on the final discs 5 and 6, you can enjoy the live performance of OZZY OSBOURNE, who was the headliner of the festival and decorated the festival. Ozzy's performance in this '86 Monsters of Rock was once released as an audience source recorded by Crazy S. under the title "MONSTERS OF ROCK 1986." Looking back on it from today's perspective, there were some flaws, such as the show end section being omitted in order to fit the recording onto one disc, and the pitch of the guitar solo section being a little early. This time, it has been completely remastered to repair noise and sound dropouts, and is a definitive version that also overcomes these deficiencies! The recording begins with the host's announcement at the opening, and you can fully enjoy the entire show from the intro "Carmina Burana". The first half of the song, which is not recorded on the soundboard, includes the metallic “Bark At The Moon” and the overflowing heaviness of “Suicide Solution,” all of which are recorded in direct sound that makes it hard to believe it was an outdoor festival. Numbers on "THE ULTIMATE SIN" such as "Shot In The Dark" and "Thank God For The Bomb" are played out with more weight and sharpness than the album, and "Secret Loser" featuring Randy Castillo's drum solo is also very powerful. You can enjoy it. According to Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy was under a lot of pressure as he headlined a festival in his home country. However, Ozzy fully exploits his inherent showmanship and shows particularly excellent performance during the '86 live show. Jake E. Lee's bold and fearless guitar playing is also wonderful. “Killer Of Giants” is a must-listen song that brings all of these together, and the grand stage and grand stage befitting a headliner are the best! At the time, the illustration that represented Ozzy in Monsters of Rock in 1986 had a design of ``a beast-like giant with a large scorpion and a leopard chained together and following him'', but here Ozzy is Both SCORPIONS and DEF LEPPARD are willing to give in. Just listening to the sound of this live performance reminds me that the design was on point. The heated show ended with “Paranoid,” and while the ending BGM “Goodbye To Romance” played, fireworks were set off to celebrate the finale of the festival. These 7 minutes, which were not recorded in the previous release, have been reproduced with a high sense of reality, as if you were watching it right in front of your eyes, and everyone will be amazed at its realism and vividness! At that time, almost all of the European rock scene, not just the UK, was oriented toward the American market, and it was as if they were away from their respective home countries. The momentum of American bands was tremendous, and not to mention the veteran VAN HALEN, but the energy of emerging bands such as METALLICA and MEGADETH, which were young at the time, was beginning to take the scene by storm. Monsters of Rock was held in 1986 under such circumstances, and each of the bands that performed were talented people from England and Germany (BAD NEWS were also talented in the "comedy route"!) It really gave me the impression of a "European Allied Forces". Their full-fledged performance that can be heard in this work is like European bands showing off their determination and pride to the American-centered rock scene! With this year at its peak, '80s-style heavy metal, which had a background of European hard rock in the '70s, gradually lost momentum, and the scene underwent a generational change and a change in fashion. However, the fact that they were able to hold this festival successfully at the height of heavy metal's popularity is sealed here with an eternal glow. Please listen to the best and strongest document that captures the era when heavy metal was most like heavy metal! A big title that will be a sensational topic not only for metal fans in Japan but also for metal fans in Europe and America has been released! A super title that is sure to be traded at high prices among enthusiasts, especially overseas! !
