Too Heavy To Hug #716

Welcome to THTH, Forte’s premier source of all things heavy, hard, fast and metal.

The Dynamo Open Air live album releases are still coming, the next one to be released on Friday July 19 will be Machine Head’s 1997. Details on upcoming releases are scarce as it appears the release schedule for future albums is nowhere to be found as yet, although one website appears to mention a Cradle Of Filth set from 1997 that looks like it will be released as a Dynamo Open Air album as well. With so many years of live recordings, so many sets by so many bands to release, it’s confusing why these are all being drip-fed to us sporadically, seriously why not just release one gigantic fuck-off box set with videos and albums and vinyl of everything all at once, charge a fortune for each coz people will pay it (think, if you were at a 1997 Dynamo, chances are you’re rich right now and have a lot of disposable income) and be done with it. Also, some of these sets are obviously more than 20 years old, strongly doubt the kids will be buying them what with YouTube vids they can watch.
