| | Best Of Slaughter CD Slaughter Discography of CDs
THE BEST OF SLAUGHTER is a slim 10-track sampler of the pop-metal band popular in the early 1990s. The group's crunchy metal approach leavened by hooky melodies found favor with audiences who also liked Winger, Warrant, Skid Row, Poison, and other staples of the hair-metal era. Though the compilation overlooks "Fly to the Angels" and "Spend My Life" (two hits from the band's debut), it does include "Up All Night," their best-known song. Highlights from the band's later albums round out the set, making it a tidy package for pop-metal fans, or those wishing to indulge in some hair-metal nostalgia. Best Of Slaughter Review

| | Blackfoot Flyin' High CD (1976)
Best Of Slaughter
$10.49 
Blackfoot's 1975 debut, No Reservations (named in reference to their Native American bloodlines), had been a critical and commercial bust for their indifferent label, Island Records, so after being cut loose from their contract, the resourceful Southern rock group immediately hooked up with the more rock-friendly Epic Records, for the release of their second long-player, Flyin' High, the very next year. The bottom line was that Blackfoot were also still seeking their songwriting groove on their way to establishing the heavier style of Southern rock that would eventually distinguish them from Skynyrd and all of their clones. And yet a handful of these tracks -- "Save Your Time," "Island of Life," the title cut -- pass muster by Blackfoot's future high standards, and in retrospect, there's no ...

| | Edguy Rocket Ride CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Best Of Slaughter
$14.05 
It's easy to belittle power metal bands because they often marry portentous musical ambitions with hackneyed Manowar-like posturing that only a 12-year-old could possibly buy into; Germany's Edguy, however, are clever enough to flip those tables by making it evident that they don't take themselves all that seriously. Eight albums into the quintet's career, Edguy have in many ways succeeded where genre daddies Helloween first bit the dust -- injecting ample doses of fun, on-stage glam-metal gymnastics, Scorpions-like face pulling, and unselfconscious humor into what is normally an outwardly austere musical style, and 2006's Rocket Ride is no exception. Possibly validated even further by the recent emergence of Britain's the Darkness, this album's relaxed vibe ...

| | Modern Downhome Blues Sessions Vol. 3 CD (2004) (Import) United Kingdom
Best Of Slaughter
$19.99
The third volume in the highly acclaimed series on the Modern Records Downhome Blues Sessions, this time from 1951 - 1955.
This third volume of raw, Southern (or Southern-style) blues, largely of the early electric sort, concentrates on recordings done in the early '50s in Memphis and Arkansas, though the five Dixie Blues Boys tracks were done in Los Angeles in 1955. Make no mistake about it: despite the presence of a few big names, this is one for the collector. If you want a better listening experience of material from Modern's recordings in the area, you'd be better off with single-artist anthologies of sides cut at the time for the label by Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, Walter Horton, Joe Hill Louis, and others. If you've gone through that layer and want a whole lot more, however, this is what you want, digging into some rare and previously unissued tracks, often by artists unknown even to many blues experts. Generally, it documents a time when Southern blues was just making its transition from the rural acoustic form to the citi-fied electric one, albeit in a raw, at times even tentatively clumsy manner. The most satisfying numbers are, unsurprisingly, by the most famous performers, capturing ...
| | Bush Best Of '94 - '99 CDs (2005) Import
Best Of Slaughter
$26.79
Bush's gravelly sound was a staple of alternative rock radio in the space directly after Nirvana's popular breakthrough. And in a way, the U.K. combo became even more popular -- Gavin Rossdale's songs were arena-sized versions of Kurt Cobain's angst, mixed to FM perfection and matched to his good-looking mug on MTV. The critics weren't having it, but Bush still became grunge rock stars. "Little Things," "Everything Zen," and "Machine Head" were appropriately raw, but they were also full of bludgeoning hooks and weedling guitar solos. Like all of Rossdale's songs, they also spun off foggy non sequiturs seemingly cynical enough for the cutoff fatigues set, but that in retrospect ...

Well, here it FINALLY is! The culmination of over two years planning and hard work is now in the “can” so to speak, and is sitting in the palm of your hand (and hopefully in your CD player). And, even if I say so myself, the results have exceeded my wildest dreams. Those of you who participated don’t need to be reminded of all the obstacles that we encountered that weekend such as it being the wettest (and muddiest) Garlic Festival ever, the smaller (but no less enthusiastic) crowd, getting the van stuck twice, the equipment snafu’s, etc. Still, we ended ...
| | Chris Spedding Live Fast, Love Hard! CDs (2009)
Best Of Slaughter
$13.65 
For Live Fast, Love Hard, rockabilly singer Robert Gordon went into his own vaults to license two concerts recorded during the late 1970s -- the period for which he is best-known -- with both of his star attraction guitarists, Link Wray and Chris Spedding. Before getting started, this set issued by Fuel 2000 is not a rehash of any of the live Gordon documents that have been circulating since the '90s. These are newly circulated board tapes. Disc one features Gordon playing live with Wray (the rhythm section is uncredited) in a set that can only be called blistering. It burns with white-hot, hedonistic rockabilly intensity, ignited by the guitarist's overdriven, "Rumble"-style guitar throughout -- it's useful to remember that Wray was issuing some killer recordings of his own during the period. (Remember Bullshot?) The set is familiar in terms of songs, but the highlights are "If This Is Wrong," the midtempo ballad that opens the set, "Lonesome Train," with some in-the-red guitar by Wray, and set closer "I Got a Woman." There is a "bonus track" included on this disc: an early live reading of ...
