Which of your NMA albums are you going to rescue ?

[Shush]

Was going to be, what is your favourite NMA album, but I am sure many will not have one favourite, or wouldn"t want to pick just one. So, instead, the scenario is, the flames are coming through the door, all other people and animals are safe outside,you have the dog under one arm, a kid under the other, and two finger tips free to pull out one CD before you run out . Which one do you save, and why?

[Willard]

Well, I leave the dog nehind, let's start there.  Then, I have each kid get their own ass out the door, carrying a couple of cd's each.  Then, I have to say I grab Thunder and Consolation.  Been too big a part of my music life for too long to leave behind.  Close behind would be Ghost of Cain, for the same reason.

Well - I don't keep my music organized, so I'd die of smoke inhalation before finding Love of Hopeless Causes.  If I did find it, I'd remember that I just got the Vengeance vinyl and can't leave without that.  Then I have the 2 CDs remastered versions of the EMI stuff, and they might cost a pretty penny to replace off eBay.  Hopefully, the kids and dogs would have been smart enough to release themselves from me and get out of the house before I become toast.

sorry but i don't think i'll take cd i'll think to save my life first,  and my cats..i won't think of saving CD 
so my CDs will burn..and i'll have to buy them again, so i'll choose Impurity (because it's the CD that make me know NMA and see them 'live'), High ('cause there are a lot of beautiful and great titles in that album!) Thunder and Consolation (it's a CD i listened the most maybe) Today is a good day (THE 'Rock' CD i always waited from NMA

**** the cd's, I'd get my NMA lp's, no dog no kids so 2 arms full of em would be no problem. 

[Brian-DC]

Without question..... the 30th Anniversary Box Set.  I worked on it and everyone in the band signed something special in there for me so that's irreplaceable. 

[jackroadkill]

Without question..... the 30th Anniversary Box Set.

Yup, I'd go with that.

[Pazza]

Sticking to the strict scenario: Impurity

Using further poetic licence, I reckon I could get my fingers round quite a few others too. Like LOHC, T&C and TIAGD and/or High, oh couldn't leave Carnival ... or Eight

Sod it, dropped the feckin lot on the way out of the smouldering door.

What fun it's gonna be buying the lot off of ebay and Amazon and via the band site. Now, where where's the insurance company's number...  ; ~ D

 Good Question . 10 years ago I would have said Love of hopeless Causes. As that was the 1st NMA album I actually brought but now that time and a few more albums have come out and  having filled out a lot of The back catalog. Bloody Hell my tunes are not going down without a fight . I am helping the fire men trying to put out the Blaze.  If I have to get a pot filled with water or a water gun .

[huwcamden]

Love of hopeless causes, it was the sountrack to my "dick whitingtonesque" streets are paved with gold move to london,along with generation terrorists by the manic street preachers. But it could have been any nma album though, they are all charged with emotion and it was an emotional time for me.

[Barty]

For me, it would have to be No Rest for the Wicked.

[Stoney]

I'd rip the shelf off the wall with the lot on.... Then I'd have to be getting my vinyl or die trying.......... Obviouisly the Les Paul's n SG n 355 would HAVE TO BE FIRST in line, goes without saying but....

To answer the question as laid out tho' I'd have to say the Impurity remaster I suppose, or lost Songs coz it's so varied and has Knife on it.... (It was a long time over due.....)

[jackroadkill]

Obviouisly the Les Paul's n SG n 355 would HAVE TO BE FIRST in line, goes without saying but....

Going slightly off topic, Stoney,but which Les Pauls have you got?  I use a 1989 Custom, a 1991 Standard and a 1958 CAH reissue.  Love them all.

[Stoney]

I have a 93 Black Beauty Custom (2 pick up, I hate the look of the 3 pick up version), a 95 Black Studio Deluxe (a Custom minus the binding so they reckon) a 2003 SG and my 355 is about a 2005, hard to say coz it's a Custom shop reject so no serial number, Rose Wood finger board and a slightly faster/thinner neck profile than standard.
My Custom is my baby pretty much, I've had her 8 years, the Studio 15 years now......
I've potted both bridge pick ups with wax to cut down squeal and put a graphite set of sadles on the Studio aswell. There's plenty of pics of em all in action on Facebook and Myspace pages of Keyside Strike.  Aswell as my Schenker Flying V and my '84 Strat!

[jackroadkill]

Very nice!  In addition to the Les Pauls I also have a '66 SG Junior, an early '90's Epiphone Sheraton, an Ibanez HR Giger Iceman, and a Mexican Strat and Tele.  I'm just getting back into playing them, and there are tentative plans to get a band together in spring.
