Rock and Roll, Hard Rock, old school Heavy Metal - that's what you can expect from Vista Records! Classic songs, album cuts, original content and more. Formerly on YouTube as VistaRecordsBoard, Vista Records is your home for Guitar driven Hard Rock and Heavy Metal!

Hosted by Erik Rupp, Vista Records will also have original programs commenting on the music. Stay tuned!

(A dead computer and missing password/email info has left VistaRecordsBoard inaccessible and unrecoverable for us, so, with no other option, we started this new channel.)

Well, that was interesting. Iron Maiden's copyright team had YouTube take down our still photo video/audio for The Trooper. YouTube had said it was OK to have the song up, said it wasn't a copyright strike, but that it couldn't be monetized and ads would play on it. That was fine - this channel isn't monetized, it's here solely to promote the bands we love. But to have them come in and hit us with a copyright hard strike when it was cleared by YouTube for over a year? That was disappointing. The playlist has been updated with the official Iron Maiden version (the 1998 remaster, which sounds better than the 2015 remaster). Anyway, things can change quickly on YouTube when it comes to copyright issues. Hopefully, Iron Maiden will respond to our request for any further songs that may be problematic so we can voluntarily pull them down rather than getting another hard strike.
