HM The Queen Has Passed - NWOBHM Required

Her Majesty, The Queen has passed at age 96 and now we have King Charles III. For such a historic day, it seems fitting to listen to artists from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, yes? Think bands like Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Saxon, Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath, Girl, Whitesnake, Rainbow, UFO and Judas Priest.


I will point out that Queen Elizabeth II met with many musicians over her decades on the throne, including Def Leppard.







Here's a 1983 concert bootleg of my beloved Def Leppard performing at Hammersmith Odeon in London. This was really early into the Pyromania tour. Elizabeth II was coronated on June 2, 1953... meaning she had already been monarch for 30 years by the time Def Leppard performed the concert shared below.
