GRAB A STACK OF ROCK With Mike and the Mad Metal Man

Special from the Train Archive

“Nigel Tufnel Top Ten” JUDAS PRIEST Albums – First Appearance of Harrison!

On May 30, 2020, history was made:  Harrison Kopp and Mike Ladano met face to face for the first time, and did their very first show together.  The show was on Facebook Live (we didn’t even have a name yet), and we decided to rank our Top Eleven Judas Priest albums.  Since this was pre-Invincible Shield, the lists only cover up to Firepower.  A subject near and dear to our hearts, we later did a larger Priest ranking episode with John Snow and Geoff Stephen on graphs.  That said, there’s nothing like the first time!

For your enjoyment, this is the very first episode ever starring the duo that would become known as Grab A Stack of Rock, edited for pace and length.  We rip through the lists in rapid fire, with a third list provided by the site regular known as Holen.

This episode was a lot of fun to edit and revisit.  Not only was it the beginning of the Mike and Harrison partnership, but it was also the very first cottage show from Grab A Stack Summer HQ, ever!  Below is the text we wrote when the episode was first posted.

Please welcome Harrison to the Saturday live stream! With only minor technical glitches, the Mad Metal Man himself joined me from the other side of the world today.

Today’s subject: A solid “Nigel Tufnel Top Ten” list on the might Judas Priest. Harrison was armed with an additional list by Holen!
