List of bands that were banned from the USSR in 1985

Surprised to not see Metallica on the list. If you have a chance, watch their 1991 performance in Moscow on Youtube (Here).

Coming just after the fall of the Soviet Union, the concert drew a crowd estimated between 500,000 and 1.6 million people.

With Soviet soldiers standing guard, the crowds of young Russians headbanged to "Enter Sandman" as helicopters fly back and forth from above.

Legend has it that people are still leaving the concert...
