There seems to be one good store from who I bought both my copies of Tepj szet minden lancot. I never visited in when I was in Budapest though but it's supposed to be close to the Oktagonmordred wrote:I will probably be going to Budapest this atuutmn. I know there were a lot of good bands from Hungary, but is it easy to find record shops with Pokolgep, Ossian, Omen etc LP's in Budapest?

Just wondering if I'm the only one here who thinks that the hungarian early eighties hard rock scene (especially P.Box and Dinamit) thrashes (slightly so ) the later eighties/early nineties Heavy Metal wave (with bands like Ossian, Pokolgép and Omen). Especially on the writing side, but also the playing and production. And guys like József Kalapács and Endre Paksi sounds utterly weak when compared to someone like Vikidál Gyula (or should that be G V? - maybe the greatest vocalist in rock ever!). Still, I won't sell my A Sátán/A Maszk single - ever!
Now:

I actually prefer Joe Rudán to Kalapács as the singer in Pokolgép. Rudán has more power, and the Adj uj Eröt album slays. Is Endre Paksi the the singer of Ossian? If he is, I agree that he sounds weak. I never liked Ossian too much.GJ wrote:...And guys like József Kalapács and Endre Paksi sounds utterly weak...

I guess it's just a matter of weather you prefer more 70's style HR over 80's Metal. What I've heard from P.Box and Dinamit hasn't impressed me so far, but then again it really isn't my Rock of choice.GJ wrote:Just wondering if I'm the only one here who thinks that the hungarian early eighties hard rock scene (especially P.Box and Dinamit) thrashes (slightly so ) the later eighties/early nineties Heavy Metal wave (with bands like Ossian, Pokolgép and Omen).

I agree that Joe Rudan is better for POKOLGEP.Yes Adj Uj Eröt is my favourite POKOLGEP album too.mordred wrote: I actually prefer Joe Rudán to Kalapács as the singer in Pokolgép.

Kalapacs is perfect also but i prefer them in OMEN.He has done great work with Feketeben.
Nothing bad about OSSIAN's singer.He sounds too much Hungarian.In fact his nasal vocals are characteristical for Hungarian singing and OSSIAN defines this term.
OSSIAN's Acelsziv is masterpiece.

I agree with you about Rudán although I prefer the older Pokolgép material on a songwriting and general sound/style basis.mordred wrote:I actually prefer Joe Rudán to Kalapács as the singer in Pokolgép.

I had the great luck to get to see both Pokolgép and Ossian when me and my wife (then girlfriend) were visiting Budapest in the year 2000. I was impressed by both bands (I had only heard Acélszív and Totális Metál at the time so there was a lot of songs I had never heard before) but more so by the fantastic atmosphere in the hall. It seemed everyone in the audience sang every word throughout both sets (verses, choruses, whatever) and although not understanding one word, after a while I sort of did the same (aah-ing and ohooh-ing ). Two great strange nights (it was a two day festival) in which I only saw these two bands, leaving out Gamma Ray, Metalium and who ever else was there...
I´m not sure about this as I rather listen to Accept or Judas Priest stuff circa 80-84 than say Deep Purple´s or Uriah Heep´s seventies material (of course Judas Priest were even better 1976-1978...). It´s more a case of what really strikes you emotionally (something that the vocals of Gyula Vikidál does for me). I'm not sure that I'm capable of analysing this as I like to think of it as (or rather want it to be) an unconscious process.DaN wrote: I guess it's just a matter of weather you prefer more 70's style HR over 80's Metal.

I would guess my record collection (if that is anything to judge from) consists of maybe 50% eighties heavy metal (and to a lesser extent hard rock) and circa 20% seventies hard rock (and heavy metal = Priest and Sabbath) most of the rest would be progressive stuff mainly from the seventies and more recent metal (hard rock).
