Electro-Violence Note: This is one in a series of HUNDREDS of audios shows I'll be hopefully uploading here within the coming months. A little background is required: Years ago when I was a newbie in the taping/trading arena at 19, a guy took mercy on me and offered me some very cool Sabbath bootlegs upon my first visit to his home. My pathetic hand-written list didn't phase him; he had a new contact that loved all things metal, like himself. Thus, a deep, long-lasting friendship was born and this wonderful guy and myself ended up trading thousands of tapes between 1990-95. He was very well-known in trading circles back in the day and had contacts all over the world. He and I recorded some amazing shows over the years, most of which are his masters from before we met. Sadly, John McNicholas passed away in 1995 from heart failure at just 24-years of age. He lived a damn full life, albeit too short. He loved people, he loved trading, and he loved metal music. He taped everyone from Testament to Forbidden, Dark Angel to Coroner, Iron Maiden to Slayer to Death - you name it, he probably taped them. These Chicago shows are mostly uncirculated (at least his copies unless they were traded out and got into circulation). I have been sitting on these recordings for years for no other reason that, until yesterday, I had no means to upload these cassettes to my PC. Some of these metal bands are rare and hopefully his legacy will live on through this board. The quality certainly varies from show to show and club to club, but all are untouched and left "as-is" for you to pass around at will. John never saw the advent of the internet and would no doubt have FREAKED OUT at how easily things are done today. I sincerely hope you all enjoy these tapes - not a day goes by that I don't think of him, and these recordings will help keep him alive in some small fashion. Cheers! If there's any problems, don't hesitate to NICELY inform me and I'll work to rectify them! This is new territory for me so be gentle. There's tons to come. |
