The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

Well.Ive noticed that back in 80s a lot of bands "stole" their names/monickers from songs of well estabiished artists.And who's the winner? I think JUDAS PRIEST is the band a lot of young lads used their songs as band name...

Let's see...

Off the top of my head, songs that inspired band names:

Deceiver
Exciter
Steeler
Rage
Running Wild
Sinner
Tyrant

Which am I missing?

Judas Priest -> Bob Dylan - The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest

Don't forget the mighty Black Sabbath though. There's tons:
Iron Man
The Hand Of Doom
Solitude
St. Vitus (Dance)
Heaven and Hell

to name a few.

(The) Sentinel (US,TX)
Chemikill from Ohio and Maryland (the EXODUS track)
Prowler (UK)

edit: En Force (US) (Queensryche track)

Revelation -> Trouble - Revelation

BTW: Wasn't there a similar thread here before?

Can't remember anything similar. But were Revelation active back in the 80's? I thought the question was about 80's bands.

Yes, they actually recorded an album to be released in 1988, but it wasn't released until this year.

Well they had demos then and played gigs etc. so pretty active yes

There was a Greek band by that name during the early to mid 80's. They never recorded anything as far as I know, just some gigs, playing Black Sabbath covers (what else?), and perhaps some of their own stuff.

to tell the truth Ive seen split compilation EP here in London including HaH,Vavoura band plus two more...

You are probably right, there was a compilation that they were included in, now that I think of it.

The history of the early years of the Greek metal scene is hazy. Where early years = the years before the publication of Heavy Metal magazine (then named Heavy Metal/Metal Hammer, now simply Metal Hammer).

What was its price?
