Del looks just like the barber my dad took me too when I was 10. He had a Bluegrass band also and would play concerts in the park back then. When I want to listen to some good old American Bluegrass DMB is my go to. [Reply]

Minutes to Memories is my personal fave.
He really got a lot of bad flack for his uncomfortable dancing in those MTV videos. Scarecrow was a great album. I thought Scarcrow, American Fool, and Big Daddy were pretty solid albums of his. [Reply]

Other modern thrash bands you can't really go wrong with (no particular order):
Warbringer
Municipal Waste (Breathe Grease)
Iron Reagan (shares the same vocalist as Municipal Waste)
Lazarus A.D.
Toxic Holocaust
Vektor (more on the progressive metal side of thrash)
Lich King
Havok
Evile
EDIT: I should caveat this by saying I'm not sure if all these bands have releases on vinyl. Seems over the years metal was fully entrenched in releasing to CD while punk/hardcore always stayed with vinyl. Seems as little as a few years ago there were only a limited number of plants in the US even doing pressings. That's likely changed though with the resurgence in vinyl. A lot of these older metal releases are likely being reissued on vinyl if not originally.
Really dig this Nightmare Logic album. Gonna find it on vinyl. Bummed to see their frontman died recently. They had a good thing going it appears. [Reply]

Happy to hear you enjoyed it, and yeah, huge blow to fans and peers to learn of Riley's death.
Music is so subjective, especially the heavier stuff, that there's not much middle ground between love and hate, making recommendations trickier, haha.
Not speaking directly to you, but anyone who's building out a collection or is interested in discographies, pressing info, etc. discogs.com is a really good resource if not already utilizing it. [Reply]
