THE RODS Announce Metal Will Never Die (The Official Live Bootleg Box Set 1981-2010) By Larry Petro, News Monkey Wednesday, January 5, 2022 @ 10:50 AM
The 4 CDs feature live sets from 1981, 1982, 2009 and 2010.
While every effort has been made to produce the best possible audio, limitations in the material drawn from various, non-standard, and unofficial sources means that the quality may not be up to the standard usually expected. All tracks have been included for their historical importance.
THE RODS' debut album, Rock Hard, was released in 1980, re-titled simply The Rods the following year. It was swiftly followed by the Full Throttle EP, material from these releases making up the bulk of CD 1 which was recorded across two concerts in 1981 and 1982 in the heavy metal stronghold city of El Paso, Texas.
Finding champions in the rock and metal press, especially UK’s Kerrang magazine, they released the Wild Dogs LP in 1982. Their rising popularity making them the perfect opening act for IRON MAIDEN on their Beast On The Road UK tour, which is captured on CD 2.
Reunited in 2008 after a 2 decade abscence, Feinstein, Canedy and Bordonaro became once again firm festival favorites, especially in Europe as captured live at the Headbangers Open Air Festival in Germany in 2009 which is featured on CD 3.
Comeback album Vengeance was released in 2011 to positive reviews, featuring tracks that had been previously previewed at a performance in their hometown of Cortland, New York in 2010, which is featured here on CD 4.
