"Kill 'Em All" turns 30 today. definitely an important album for me in high school. I grew up listening to Ron Quintana's Rampage Radio on KUSF (college radio) and was exposed to a lot of underground metal. some of it was the "No Life 'Til Leather" demo as well as the KUSF recordings for Megaforce Records. Honestly, I thought the album was "watered down" compared to those recordings, but as a kid, it was still exciting to finally see those songs on vinyl with cover art & pic sleeve all together. I played it to death in '83 and saw 'em when they opened up for RAVEN and headlined their record release show at the Stone with ARMORED SAINT. I know some people sour on them now, but back then was some fun times in the Bay Area.
