Hi
I have been collecting alot of my favourite albums on CD
Being a Big AC/DC fan Krokus is getting alot of play time

Scorpions Early 80's tones

Also Accept "Balls to the wall" album ...classic Old School
or True Metal as I call it tones

Can anyone recomend any other great Euro bands
of the late 70's early 80's ?

Just about anything from UFO...especially the live record, "strangers in the night". Michael Schenker really shines. Actually some of the UFO that feature Paul Chapman on guitar is very good, as well. He took over when Schenker went AWOL.
Another great record is "Slide it in"...Whitesnake { 1984 }.

Actually I was going to throw in some brittish Bands but I thought there might be an argument that there not European !

UFO one of my favourite bands & Thin Lizzy I cant believe I wasnt into them when I was younger
I just really got into UFO & Lizzy about 7 yrs ago I just had Micheals solo albums

Early Michael Schenker solo STUFF & UFO tones are on the top of my list for bentchmark GUITAR TONES !

I thought Accept was a great kickass metal band at the time. We even play Balls to the wall with one of my bands. Check out my sig. Balls to the wall posted on my soundclick from a show we did in April.

Do a search of New Wave of British Heavy Metal, youll end up with a slew of bands to check out.

I built a 50 watt 2204 just to clone the "Accept" Balls to the Wall sound. Sounds killer!

Yeah Allen, you just need to put a set of EMG 81's in that V you have and youll be all the way there. Yes his amp does clone that Balls to the Wall tone.

Hey Moderator maybe slide this thread over to the Off topic section.

Did you use the specs I gave you for that, or were additional tweaks needed to achieve it?

I'm a huge fan of Irelands own, Mama's Boys. Pat McManus was an awesome guitarist. I have an autographed pic of the band, minus their drummer Tommy who died of Leukemia. I still listen to their albums.
NWOBHM, is still awesome to me.
