I remember once, this is in the early 90’s, me and buddy Dim went to see a couple of guys he knew because they had the <b>Motorcycle Boy </b>CD and said we could listen to it. These dudes were in some power-pop band that was actually pretty sweet, like a real 1979 <i><b>Dream Police</b></i>/<b><i>My Sharona</i></b> vibe mixed with some dirty NYC glam stuff. I think they were twins? I don’t remember the name of the band. But here’s the problem. They wore <i>sweaters</i>. Plus I think they were rich because who had an actual stereo system in 1991? So here I am, hearing “<b><i>Get Some</i></b>” for the first time in my life, probably one of the greatest rock n’ roll songs of all time. I think I was in full-blown alcohol withdrawal and I’m pretty sure Dim was tanked, but we were both definitely a mess all around. Sweating and shaking. And here’s these two jokers in white pants and Charlie Brown sweaters showing off their illustrious CD collection. Anyway, I didn’t wanna admit it at the time, but I liked their band. I think Dim mighta made out with one of their girlfriends because they never invited us to listen to records again. I think one of them is lawyer now. <b>Bad Sex </b>sounds like whoever those dudes were except no sweaters, just fun, catchy rock n’ roll that hits hard and sticks to the roof of your mouth. Roof of your brain. Whatever. This is their debut EP, and even if they die tomorrow they have pretty much nailed it already. Teenage girls will swoon. Teenage boys will wrap their cars around trees. It’s a jammer.<br>

I mean if you can’t get down with this raucous downtown ripper I dunno what to tell you. Maximum snarl and heads-down, no-bullshit hardcore rock n’ roll action. I wanna rob banks with these dudes. This is what I imagine <b>Rose Tattoo</b> would sound like if they were from Chicago and had hair. <b><i> Born to Raise Hell</i></b> is from their debut 7’ EP “<b><i>Gone Gone</i></b>”, which you can buy from Disconnected Records. And you should. <b>BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN TO RAISE HELL.</b><br>

I used to have this subway poster for <b>Hanoi Rocks</b>’ <i><b>Don’t You Ever Leave Me</b></i> single. It was a six foot high photo of Mike Monroe winking. Took up a whole wall of my teenage bedroom. You remember that? That wink is exactly what this single sounds like. Just effortlessly cool and sexy and suggestive of everything a long-haired 17-year-old rock n’ roller could possibly want outta life. A-side <b><i>Dustianne</i></b>’s got hey-hey-heys and cowbells and bold-as-brass vox from the incredible Ms<b> Liza Colby</b>, and the flip leans on the barrelhouse piano with a very <b>Dolls</b>-y flourish and rolls along on a zippy <i><b>Public Animal Number 9</b></i> sorta verve. Both of ‘em are fucking great. You’d have to be some kinda hopeless square not to hop on this train. <b>Sweet Things </b>are very clearly the real deal.<br>

<b><br></b> First of all number one, Richmond Virginia has always known what’s up when it comes to rock n’roll. I mean, look it up. There’s an army of rockers in used leather and ripped jeans down there. Secondly there’s only two songs here (and two more in the can for an upcoming 7”), but the morsels we’ve got so far are tasty as fuck. Lyrically and philosophically they are<b> Ramones </b>to the bones, with simple and direct lines about bad dates and their brains bein’ on vacation, but they’ve got a spark all their own. I love their guitar player. He’s like<b> Steve Stevens </b>banging out <b>Johnny Thunders</b> solos, just over the top in the best way possible. <i>Love it</i>. I bet they could destroy my house in like ten minutes.<br>

Kind of a mystery band. Outside of their Bandcamp page I don’t have any info on ‘em except that they’re from Riverside CA (home of the almighty <b>Bellrays</b>), but really, what’s to know? Proof’s in the pudding. This is some wild ride, man. It’s like if<b> Diamond Head</b> and the <b>Sex Pistols</b> were the same band. I know, my mind is blown too. It also sounds a little like late 80’s hair-to-the-heavens shredders <b>Nitro </b>on an AM radio buried under six feet of dirty laundry. I mean that in the best way possible. Babies will get made to this record. Evil mutant babies, but babies nonetheless.<br>

Initially, I got into this album big-time because of the sweet opener,<i><b> Sweet Mothertruckin’</b></i>, which basically sounds like <b>Weird Al </b>fronting <b>Nashville Pussy</b>. But I have subsequently become equally enamored with their minute-long epic <b><i>Rock n’ Roll Dream</i></b>, which really does encapsulate everything you need to know about rock n’ roll in record time. I also like that the band looks like they’re covered in plaster or road salt on the cover and the bass player is wearing what looks like an orange batting helmet. And his name is Donut! There’s just so much to unpack with their aesthetic choices for a cover photo. If they’re a mess in the one photo you’re supposed to clean up for, what do they look like the rest of the time? I bet they’re a blast to see live. Or just to watch them make a sandwich. Anyway, really fun record.<br>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The legacy of Johnny Thunders isn’t necessarily his own music. Aside from the singles, most of it is a wreck. I have bootlegs where he just plays <i>Pipeline </i>over and over while the crowd whips bottles at him. His real legacy is the bands that fucking GOT IT and made their own snarly sleaze-rock in his wake. Like these characters. Straight outta Denver, the impeccably monickered Born Readies offer up a tantalizingly brief and undeniably blazing three-songer that struts their stuff magnificently. <i>Wildside </i>and <i>Automatic</i> are the twin knock-out blows, paying homage to NYC junk-rock and slithery Hollywood glam-punk while putting their own bare-knuckled spin on ‘em. <i>Solid Six</i> is more of a glitter-rock ballad, the kinda B-side you might find on a Pantherman single from 1974. In other words, these dudes know what’s up and this EP is everything you’re looking for, if you’re the kinda person who’s looking for cheap and nasty thrills. Best $3.00 you’ll spend this week, unless you get a really good deal on quaaludes or something.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">First of all, I love the fact that the album is called Larry’s Cookies. What the fuck does that mean? It’s an in-joke, clearly, and probably five people in the world are in on it. And you and I are not one of ‘em. I love a good rock n’ roll mystery. Son of a Gun is from Chicago and they started out as one dude. Now there’s four. They’re breeding like rabbits. There is a certain kind of garage rock that sounds like the work of guys that are always late with the rent. Like guys that already have a drinking problem at 22 but somehow figure that this band thing is gonna work out so it won’t matter because it’s ok to drink for 400 days in a row if you’re on tour. I knew a ton of bands like that back in the 80’s. They’re all dead now. Son of a Gun is following in that grand tradition. The first ten seconds of the self-titled opener makes you think they might jangle-rock at some point but then it just devolves pretty beautifully into snotty, Chesterfield Kings-y neo-60’s garage stomp with a dash of psychopathic 70’s punk. I love the whole thing but I especially love <i>Night Damage </i>because it’s mean as fuck. Also the video for Larry’s Cookies will melt your brain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b>The best black metal is actually rock n’ roll. You know that, right? The further it gets from rock n roll the worse it is. Like when bands get keyboard players or think they’re suddenly creating "dark art." If you give me a Children of Bodom or Satyricon record, I am telling you right now I will throw that shit right out the window. But anyway Totenwolf are from Spain and even if they tell you they are a black metal band, they actually play fast, thrashy, Satanic-as-fuck rock n’roll. <i>Ghouls Are Back in Town</i> is clearly the killer of the bunch, raunchy and venomous (and Venom-ous), but I also gotta mention the fantastically titled <i>The Black Witch of Highgate Hill</i>, because the main guitar riff is Black Sabbath and Chuck Berry <b>AT THE SAME TIME</b>. Destroy your life for Satan and also buy this album. Bonus: it comes with its own fanzine!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">am not necessarily a fan of “horror punk” because most of it is just zombie Fonzie bullshit and I suppose on paper Seattle’s Wongs </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">is</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> a horror punk band but I’m not worried about it because this thing rips it and tears it like that dude on vacation in Hedonism II. Sure, every song is about ghosts and ghouls but they sound like they’re about fighting with bikers or jumping out of three-story windows in drunken rages. </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">Cemetery</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> is my fave because of the </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">woo-oohs</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and the screaming Ace Frehley guitars, but I dig the whole thing, really. And it looks like the drummer is bleeding from a head-wound on their promo photo. That’s f**king cool.</span><br />

Traffic signals blink yellow because there is no traffic to regulate. Darkened church doorways shelter homeless men in ragged socks. Construction vehicles rust in the abandoned roadwork. The library and the Red Cross building are boarded up and vandalized. Vampires roam the streets (probably). <br />
<br />
Detroit is dying. Or so it would appear.<br />
<br />
To get to The Loving Touch, you must drive south on Woodward, past the Fox Theatre and Comerica Park, past the now-defunct Magic Stick, past empty buildings and weeded lots and broken glass and graffiti, until you pass, fittingly, a large cemetery. And then you are in Ferndale, which, while not technically Detroit, is close enough.<br />
<br />
The ghost town aura of downtown Detroit, however, has vanished. The Mediterranean restaurant we go to is positively bustling, and the bars near The Loving Touch (itself a former massage parlour) are renovated and graffiti-free. Gentrification is in full effect. <br />
<br />
The show is sold out, and more than half of the patrons in the bar sport black Magic-Markered Xs on the backs of their hands. (Many of them wear Hawaiian shirts like the lead singer is sometimes wont to do.) The other patrons drink tall cans of PBR, the cheapest beer they have. (I drive vodka and water, because I am a grown-up who is concerned about her caloric intake.)<br />
<br />

<br />
Australian band Dune Rats warmed up the enthusiastic underaged crowd with their hyper garage/pop/rock and roll, including a cover of Blister in the Sun with half the lyrics omitted in favour of indiscernible mumbling.<br />
<br />
And then the stage went dark and the lightbulb eyes lit up in the giant papier-maché-head replicas of the band members and FIDLAR came on and the place went fucking mental. I had seen the band twice before in Toronto, so I knew what to expect, but I did not expect such chaos from a bunch of kids whose illegal pre-show buzz must surely have worn off by that point. They jumped around like wild things, they shouted and sang, they surfed the crowd, they took their sweat-soaked t-shirts off and lost their cell phones in the frenzy.<br />
<br />
There is something about attending a live rock show that no shaky iPhone video or post-show review can ever capture, which is why it's important to just GO, man. You can never truly know what you've missed: the jostling that will result in bruises the next day, the smell of furtive joint-smoking, the shared smiles when the band plays that song that you love that they never play, the feel of other people's sweat on your own bare skin (okay, I can probably do without that last one). <br />

I have never believed in the dire predictions of the death of rock and roll. Rock and roll will never die. Its power might ebb and flow, but as long as there are teenagers, there will be angst. And as long as there is angst, there will be the need for rock and roll.<br />

<br />
Last night at the FIDLAR show, the youth of America gave me hope for the future. For the future of kids raised on technology who showed me that it IS possible for them to put their phones down and live in the moment, for the future of Detroit, that dying city with the possibility of revival in its embers, and for the future of rock and roll.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">He’s only
gone and done it again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last year I
wrote a f<a href="http://www.sleazegrinder.net/2014/12/bernie-torme.html" target="_blank">eature for this website</a> about Bernie Torme which included a positive review of his
album ‘Flowers & Dirt’ and a glowing write-up of his show from the
accompanying tour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was testament to
the man’s confidence that 20 songs were included on that album and that a bunch
of them were played live amongst the expected ‘hits’ and back catalogue
tracks<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that someone who has been in the
game as long as Torme has, is expected to play.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">The 20
tracks on ‘Flowers & Dirt’ were well received by the loyal fans, who
enjoyed the depth and breadth of music on offer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time around though Bernie and band
(completed by bassist extrordinairre Chris Heilman and powerhouse drummer Ian
Harris) have opted for a slightly shorter and more focussed set of material
that still manages to cover a lot of ground musically. The resulting 12 songs
are every bit as rewarding as the previous album, and demonstrate that this is one
of the finest power trios on the scene right now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Quite how
Torme coaxes such tones from his battered Strat is anyone’s guess.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a very distinct style and sound, and
whilst there is nothing new in rock n roll and therefore some easy reference
points can be made (‘Stagestruck’ era Rory Gallagher, Hendrix at his most
direct…) it needs to be said that Bernie Torme’s take on the blues-rock
blueprint is as unique as anyone elses these days, and moreso than most.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">‘Golden
Pig’, ‘Better Days’ and ‘Snake in the Garden’ carry on where tracks like ‘Party
Town’ left off on the previous album – heavy boogie<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>rock<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>with supersonic lead guitar licks all over it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘1985 (Keeper of the Flame)’, ‘Better Days’
and ‘On Fire’ provide some more mid-paced counterbalance, the latter in
particular has a chorus that will stick in your head after one listen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Track 6 ‘Flow’ has a slightly psychedelic
vibe, veering between laid-back verses and heavy riffing, ‘Into the Sun’
sustains the vibe and gets almost grungey in places, then we’re back into
fast-paced boogie rock with ‘Pain’. There’s some acoustic slide guitar and
overdriven harmonica in the intro to ‘Steady Roller Blues’ which then kicks
into the sort of tight-but-loose stompin’ beat and groove that Led Zep used to
do so well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘Miles to Babylon’ and
‘Party’s Over’ are two more slower numbers, each with epic guitar solos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

blast, we are both influenced by Springsteen, Georgia Satellites, the Newer Kid
Rock stuff so, throw in a bit of AC DC too. Lyrics are important to us both

previous album ‘Bucket & Co’ was an album including many guests and you
revisited some of your own back catalogue, for example, a re-recording of the
song ‘Reach Out’ which was an Iron Maiden b-side that you wrote in the
mid-80s. This time around you seem to be going for a ‘band’
approach? Will there be any guests on it?<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

underneath another venue, where Jasper Carrot is appearing. They asked us to
keep it down a bit so the noise didn’t overspill, then the guy said ‘start’. So
we started. And then its kind of mayhem.
Jasper’s upstairs trying to tell his jokes but all that the audience can
hear is us lot downstairs. The guy who
is organising Jasper’s gig runs down, I didn’t see any of this, but he charges
over to our desk, pulls all of the output down.
So no PA, but it still sounds okay on stage – so we’re all kind of
carrying on playing. Then some guy to do
with Jasper jumps up out of the audience in front of Chris (Heilmann, bassist)
motioning to us to stop. But I’ve been
playing for a long time and the law has always been you don’t stop. When I played with Gillan we had guns pulled
on us – and that also happened to me in Northern Ireland – but you don’t
stop. So we carried on. There’s uproar upstairs and Jasper is not
happy. They somehow managed to complete
and the guy then says okay play as loud as you like now.”</span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">......For the uninitiated, Jasper Carrot is a
British comedian and TV personality/gameshow host who first rose to fame during
the mid-1970s, and in recent years also famous for being the father of actress
Lucy Davis (who played receptionist ‘Dawn’ in the UK version of sitcom The
Office).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The man explaining this triumph
of rock over comedy, which had occurred just two nights prior to our meeting,
is Bernie Torme: A mainstay of the touring circuit who has worked with some of
the biggest names in rock and has released over 24 albums along the way. </span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">As lead guitarist for the likes of Ozzy
Osbourne and Ian Gillan during the 1980s (see photos below), Bernie became one of the most highly
regarded axemen in hard rock and heavy metal. Subsequent high profile
collaborative projects included ‘Desperado’ (with Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider
and Iron Maiden’s Clive Burr), GMT (with former Gillan colleague John McCoy),
and a 1980s incarnation of the sadly underrated doom/soul/prog overlords Atomic
Rooster. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>However, it was with the
eponymously named band ‘Torme’ (fronted
by future LA Guns frontman Philip Lewis) and also as a solo artist that Bernie
has been able to spread his wings most freely and truly craft his distinctive
guitar style, which blends flash-metal fretboard pyrotechnics with gut wrenching blues-based riffing and lots of punk-ish ‘fuck you’ attitude. </span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">Bernie originally carved out a niche as
the original ‘Electric Gypsy’ amongst the early 1980s London punk and
sleazerock circuit which revolved around the Soho club scene (which included
late, lamented venues such as the Marquee, Gossips, etc) but scratch below the
surface and you find that Bernie’s style has more in common with the classic
and blues rock inspired players of the 1970s than it does the
‘guitar-technocrat’ style that many of his contemporaries adopted. Just like
the late, great Rory Gallagher, he can coax screams, wails, dive-bombs and
blistering break-neck solos from his battered Stratocasters, but he never loses
sight of the song.</span><span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

astounding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As an artist you don’t know

in 24 hours, I couldn’t believe it. It
dragged on because it goes on for 60 days or however long after that and I
ended up having 418% of what I had asked. I was in the process of recording an
album so it became a double album and I was thinking well <i>this is terrifying</i> because I really didn’t expect to get the money
at all. So it was <i>you have to complete</i>
and that was great because it was just like the old days in the early ‘80s and
the ‘70s because you have to complete the album. It had to be finished. That was it. I found that really helpful because it was
almost like having a gun being held to my head! So I did it and I was just
hoping that the people would like it and its gone down so well its just
untrue. Y’know almost every other album
I’ve done I’ve had people kind of slag off but this one people liked! Oh God

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">And talking of new music, latest album
‘<i>Flowers and Dirt</i>’ is a veritable feast of heavy blues-influenced hard rock n’
roll.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fretboard pyrotechnics and
Bernie’s distinctive tone are of course all present and correct, but
importantly so is the groove. Starting in a high-octane
blaze of glory with the rapid fire triple shot of ‘Crash & Burn’, ‘Party
Town’ and ‘Blood Run Cold’, followed by the hypnotic driving beat of ‘Your
Voodoo’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pace then slows down a bit,
such as on the bluesy, ‘Out in the Cold’ or the Hendrix-meets-Cream time machine
of ‘Garden of Earth’s Delight’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Contrastingly,
‘Spirit Road’ provides an acoustic dimension with some neat guitar harmonics
and drum patterns, whilst ‘Outlaw Blues’ has a country vibe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘Turn the Tide’ continues the acoustic theme
but before building into something heavier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Instrumental track ‘Stoneship’ features a firey guitar solo over a
grungey, Sabbathy backing. I won’t list every song but rest assured, <i>Flowers and
Dirt </i>is a collection of strong material with plenty of attitude, ‘feel’ and all
the other qualities that you’d hope to find on a great rock album. The recordings
have a ‘live’ sound to them and this works well, particularly when turned up
loud, and is true to the way that the band sound in concert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">Bernie: “My home town Dublin, really
about the celtic tiger period when Dublin seemed to be the place every UK stag
and hen party seemed to home in on. The Dublin Temple Bar area in particular,
it used to be gross and pretty nightmarish in those days, streets full of puke
and bodies!</span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">I saw a newspaper article about a
Dublin guy called Paddy Dunning who owns a studio called Grouse Lodge in
Ireland, (at one point I was vaguely thinking about buying the place, it was up
for sale years ago and relatively cheap at the time too). But then he had
Michael Jackson stay there, and then MJ died, and among other things he started
renting it out for corporate weekends including 'sleeping in the bed Michael
Jackson slept in! Aaaargh! (the article is here if you are interested: <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2010/aug/15/michael-jackson-ireland-secret-retreat" target="_blank">http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2010/aug/15/michael-jackson-ireland-secret-retreat</a>) </span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">Bizarre, and a totally Dublin sort of
thing to do, even though the studio is in Westmeath, an hour or so out of
Dublin. Paddy apparently started out building his empire as a dustman in
Dublin, I loved the story so hence the opening line of Partytown, 'Baby don't
fear the dustman…..etc'</span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

hallucinatory surreal Flann O Brien/Joycean thing that Dublin stories often
have, which I love, it makes me feel secure to think the world is that bizarre!
That’s where the idea for the song came from, its not about exactly just that,
more a melange of images that relate somehow in my addled bonce to that aspect
of Dublin!”</span><span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

a tribute to their ability. I</span></span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">t was hugely important to me to get
that feel, I've done lots of the mechanical stuff in the past and I wanted

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">It wasn't hard to capture at all, some
tracks were on clicks though most weren't, we always tried to do it without a
click first, but some needed it, but it was down to the drummers involved,
mainly Ian Harris, but also Simon Jeffrey earlier on, that they were able to
maintain those loose-ish classic rock n roll grooves with that bit of old
time swing even when playing to a click. Still sounds human and grooves,
exactly what I was aiming at. </span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

John's 70's drum sound to compliment that style, maybe with a few more
Bonham-esque room mikes, but its all real, I avoided that 80's drum reverb thing
like the plague, its pretty much what the drums sounded like in the room, its
quite a live room, and quite a decent size too which is important. It was
completely about getting a feel and keeping the room sounding real. The playing
fitted the sound and vice versa.”</span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

him to fuck off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then had a difficult

this club night thing in a place called Gossips in Soho, and I went along
because Chris told me it was good: I ended up playing. I really can't remember
how that happened! I think I maybe played on the Gang Bang EP, I definitely
played on All Right Now with Spike singing, but that’s not on the record. Maybe
some Rolling Stones too, Honky Tonk I think. I spent most of the night getting
paralytically drunk with Nasty Suicide who I had a real laugh with. Neither of
us knew anything about it being recorded, or if he did he never told me!</span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Maybe I'm on the live Gang Bang and my name is on all of it because someone
thought it would sell 2 more copies or something. But I know nothing about and

studio in Witney, Oxfordshire where nothing seemed to work properly, with the
wonderful Rat Scabies and Paul Gray from the Damned as rhythm section,
that was great, and some odd guy producing and engineering who was somewhat
lacking in the required people skills vis a vis Paul and Rat. Rat takes no
prisoners, so that was interesting! Rat and Paul spoke their truth and there
was a whole lotta bitching going on from the control room end!</span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">I had just come out of hospital where I
had nearly died following a punctured lung…I weighed about 8 stone and looked
like an effing skeleton. My eldest boy Jimi was born in the middle of the album
sessions so I missed a couple of days recording because of that, he's 23 now!
The sessions were weird to be honest. I did everything in one take, no one
seemed to care very much. Even when I wanted to do repairs they didn't want me
to do any. Considering I hadn't even heard the songs that was bizarre, I'm not
that good!</span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">Anyway, Rene was a great writer, very
poppy, Beatles-y, very talented guy, and a really nice guy, but not really in
need of my style of playing, which was what the producer wanted: the album was
pretty great pop rock songs, more pop than rock to be honest, quite soft and
sentimental and great tunes, very much subject based on being young and falling
in love. I have no memory of that! Why they asked me to make noise over it I
have no effing idea. I don't think I was the right choice, I was definitely
pulling it in a direction it did not need to go. They (management engineer and
producer) didn't really seem to know what they were aiming at, and I still feel
Rene's talent, which was subtle, whimsical, gentle and very very English, got
sort of waylaid in the process. But it still has some great catchy pop songs
that shine through nonetheless. He was a great writer and fantastic voice,
very English late sixties, reminiscent to me of Syd Barrett.</span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

been living near me in Dover, though I hadn't known it, and I went to his
funeral and met his mother who was also lovely. I think I was the only person
from the wonderful world of popular music who showed up. Well it wasn't in

The music and packaging are killer, and on the back of the below article, I was invited to provide the sleeve notes.</i></span></b><br />

<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">THUNDERSTICK is the insanely entertaining mad masked drummer who rose to infamy as a leading figurehead of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) due to his exploits behind the kit (and cage!) with SAMSON and also an early line-up of IRON MAIDEN (more about that later)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick’s antics included terrorizing audiences, pouring copious amounts of alcohol over himself at each show and generally causing chaos amongst the pyro`s and smoke bombs that were exploding around him. Added to which, he wore a mask and played inside a cage.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick would eventually forge his own band with a horror-metal image who made some great music as well as some great album covers. Although his time with Samson (and even Maiden, to some extent) is fairly well documented elsewhere on the internet not much has been written about Thunderstick “the band” beyond their official website and an article published in 2009 on the website sleazegrinder.com, which updated here in light of the ‘...Analogue Asylum’ CD release.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><u><b>Starting Out</b></u><br />Thunderstick joined his first professional band, `The Primitives`, at the age of 19 after their singer spotted him playing with his then band `Tiny and the Hot Toddies,` at Windsor Free Festival in England (a week-long Hippy festival which ran throughout the early 70s before being banned by the authorities). The Primitives were based in Sicily, “it was a band that the Italians knew well and didn’t mind so much as to who was in it as long as it existed”.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“The Primitives was my baptism of fire, I went away boy and came back a man. We toured relentlessly thorughtout Italy, Greece, Sardina, eventually having a number one with a single called ‘Yeah’ all in Italian. This, believe it or not, was later covered by the American rock band Angel who called it ‘Aint Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore’!”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">On returning to England the young Thunderstick joined a folk rock band by the name of ‘Archer’ who enjoyed a limited amount of sucess on a local level doing a good amount of major act Support slots with other ` electric folkies` such as ‘Steelers Wheel`, before moving on to form a band of his own called ‘Oz’. “This was very prog-rock, plenty of rehearsals but not too much gigging. From there I moved onto a working band named ‘Mr Zero’ also very prog, but once again limited success, then a change in musical direction to a heavier lesser known band : ‘Iron Maiden’!</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<a href="http://www.musicvice.com/files/2012/01/Iron-Maiden-with-Tony-Moore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.musicvice.com/files/2012/01/Iron-Maiden-with-Tony-Moore.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This early line-up of Iron Maiden already had an impressive set of songs, many of which would eventually be recorded for the first two Iron Maiden albums and assorted singles, such as ‘Sanctuary’, ‘Wrathchild’, ‘Prowler’ and signature tune ‘Iron Maiden’. Thunderstick worked with Steve Harris on a piece of music featuring a rolling drum pattern and dramatic chord progression which would become well known to NWOBHM fans when it appeared as ‘Ides of March’ on Iron Maiden’s ‘Killers’ album, and also as the song ‘Thunderburst’ on the second album from fellow metallers SAMSON to whom Thunderstick had made the move to…. but more about that later.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">His stint with Maiden ended abruptly - according to folklore this was due to a Keith Moon-esque episode in which he allegedly fell asleep behind the kit during a song. According to Maiden bassist and founder member Steve Harris in the bands official biography “Run To The Hills”:</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“He'd dropped a couple of downers or something like that ...he stopped in the middle of the Drum solo and he yelled, 'Stop talking, you GREAT MUSICIANS, and listen to the maestro!'</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />An interview with Thunderstick published on a Samson tribute website (www.bookofhours.netSamson/) provides a better explanation:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />“Right, I'll tell you the story behind that. I was married for eight years and I was having an affair at the time with this beautiful woman who had just told her husband that I was having an affair with her. My wife had just found out. All three were at the gig. I had just bought a brand new drum kit, a Gretsch, and I'd never played it before, not even to rehearse on it. I literally took delivery of it that afternoon of the gig with Iron Maiden. So it took me a little while in the sound check to kind of set it up and try it out. And, yes, I did drop something. It wasn't acid or anything like that, it was a barbiturate, it was a downer, a Valium or something like that. I was so on edge that whole gig, because of the circumstances of my wife standing there, right next to her is my girlfriend that I'm screwing at the time and her husband and my new drum kit... I was used to the other kit and every time I'd go around it there wouldn't be a tom tom there, I would be a gap so hence the reason that that happened.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />This might have been the last gig Thunderstick played for Maiden, but their paths were destined to cross again...</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /><u>Samson</u><br />Joining Samson in 1979, Thunderstick and guitarist Paul Samson spotted a young university student named Bruce Dickinson fronting a band in their local pub and gave the singer his first big break fronting SAMSON.</span></div>

Steve Harris wanted just a drummer not a `persona`, both Maiden and Thundestick were heading in different directions. The job went to Clive Burr who THUNDERSTICK had just replaced in Samson! So Iron Maiden recorded their first album with a drummer who had ‘Samson’ stencilled all over his drum cases whilst Samson recorded their second album ‘Head On’ with Thunderstick’s drums cases emblazoned with Iron Maiden’s name and with their future frontman on lead vocals!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The Samson line-up featuring Thunderstick/Dickinson would last until 1981 and produce three albums amongst the best of the NWOBHM era. The first `SURVIVORS` leans more towards a blues rock influence with occasional glimpses of what was to follow. Number two : ‘Head On’ is a very enjoyable slice of hard rock/heavy metal notable for the influence of Thunderstick who contributed much to the recording process and the production including his trademark sound-effects on the awesome ‘Walking Out on You’ as well as aforementioned instrumental ‘Thunderburst’:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“I came up with a drum pattern that did that constant rolling. I would have ideas and Steve would then transpose that, because I don't play guitar. I think we played it a couple of times with Iron maiden as an opening track. Just an intro, it was a throwaway thing, not really a track. The story behind that was that after we'd recorded "Head on" and they'd recorded "Killers" Clive Burr went round to Paul's house to listen to the new Samson album and in turn took the new "Killers" album with him. So Paul put on side one and they were "Yeah, it's great stuff", turned it over and up came Thunderburst and Clive nearly fell of his seat and went "Fuck, that's 'The Ides of March'". Paul was like "What the hell is he talking about?" So anyway, long story short, I got summoned to EMI and there was Rod Smallwood and Steve Harris sitting there and a lawyer, solicitor, and an EMI representative and just me sitting there. So what was decided in the end was that Steve Harris would share 50-50 the publishing rights on the Samson version of it, but I never got Sweet F.A. on the Iron Maiden version...”<br />(<a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookofhours.net%2Fsamson%2F&h=xAQF2EJ4P&enc=AZNu87vj77dMuR2npQly8ysogFkiTU11xIKQF2BewCd9yIfnfum7sIJDeDDT0FrPjZcHIcNkPdCHqbkDFDkGAw3chnLfVS0FzXQKBl5MF1s97BPuoAs1w6WYHdDY59XeWgdwj4qxT1-N7xwJS_0qSZNzWsCRWubdkwS_01mh29DwTg&s=1" rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.bookofhours.net/samson/</a>)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Other highlights from Samson’s ‘Head On’ album include the classic rock of ‘Vice Versa’, the pedal to the metal ‘Take Me to Your Leader’ and a track called ‘Hammerhead’ which gave an indication of the sort of historical lyrics which would become the hallmark of Dickinson’s later careers with Maiden and as a solo artist.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“Although Production on the album could have been better, as a performer I felt I had really expressed myself, There are certain drum fills that I consider to be unique and could only be me, the same as when you hear Keith Moon you KNOW it`s Keith Moon .”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The next album ‘Shock Tactics’ featured a slicker production courtesy of Tony Platt (who had previously produced Iron Maiden’s Top 40 hit ‘Women In Uniform’) and includes some of their best songs, particularly ‘Blood Lust’ a mid-tempo slab of metal based upon a Sabbath-style riff the likes of which many of today’s ‘stoner rock’ bands can only dream of creating, and once again includes some characteristic Thunderstick studio sound effects.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">However, by this time there was unrest in the band , behind-the-scenes politics… the rest of the band wanted to play down the visuals and move back into a bluesier back-to-basics direction whilst Thunderstick wanted to increase the theatrics and mayhem. Coupled with some questionable management decisions, Thunderstick left Samson and wasted no time forming his own band, which (in true Alice Cooper style) was also known as ‘Thunderstick’.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">His replacement in Samson was Mel Gaynor, and this line-up played a storming set at the 1981Reading festival (since released as a live album). However, despite Mel’s undoubted ability the dynamic of the band changed. Simply, what Thunderstick brought to Samson was more than just the beats, and perhaps the band had made a mistake in opting to go ‘back-to-basics’. According to Bruce Dickinson:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />"Samson worked together as this crazy, fucked up set-up, and when you took Thunderstick out of the equation and replaced him with Mel Gaynor who was in the band very briefly, Simple Mind's drummer, this phenomenal drummer, there was no excitement in it there anymore. When he played he played everything perfectly. Everything was in time, there were no mistakes, there was no danger anymore. And Thunderstick had provided that unpredictability so I got bored."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Samson continued with a talented new line-up featuring singer Nicky Moore, drummer Pete Jupp, and also with 720/Torpedos/Bad Company guitarist Dave “Bucket” Colwell at one point, which recorded some great bluesy hard rock albums throughout the 1980’s, Dickinson joined Iron Maiden, and for Thunderstick there was now freedom to pursue a vision of his own....</span></div>

Sold out showcase gigs at London’s famed Marquee club suggested a bright future but after recording with this lineup, Thundestick ( the individual) decided a new singer and guitarist were required.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is the coolest record cover I’ve ever seen. I used to stare at this album in the bins of every metal shop I haunted for years and think, “Well, goddamn. That’s the way a rock record oughta look.” I mean, there he is- Mr. fuckin’ Crazy himself, peering through the darkness in his studded S&M mask. He’s got an executioner’s hood on, and he’s wearing plastic vampire fangs. This cat is obviously capable of just about anything. “Feel Like Rock and Roll?” Well, yeah, Thunderstick, I do. All the goddamn time. Flip the back, and there’s a zombie-girl and some black leather ghouls-with-guitars waiting for you. How the fuck could you resist? The cover and the title absolutely nailed the gonzo-rock aesthetic.” (Sleazegrinder.com)</span></div>

A replacement was found - American singer Jodee Valentine, who took up the challenge with aplomb. She joined as the band were in rehearsal for a forthcoming tour to promote the release of the E.P. It was decided to credit her and include her photo on the cover, as this was to be the touring lineup. This new line-up subsequently toured the UK in 1983 and it was not long before Jodee and drummer Thunderstick were Choreographing their own particular Rock`n`roll mayhem to accompany the bands Soundtrack. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After a few more live shows and another change of guitarist a new record deal was struck for a follow-up album, provisionally titled ‘Don’t Touch, I’ll Scream’. Unfortunately due to the demise of the company concerned the resulting recordings remained in the vaults, although two songs did appear on a hard-to-find compilation album of NWOBHM era rockers entitled ‘Best of British Metal’ and the awesome ‘Thunder Thunder’ was made available to listen to on the Thunderstick myspace page.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">“In my opinion this contains the strongest material that we ever recorded as well as the best performances. The band were indeed truly fired up for these album sessions, unfortuantely it has not seen the light of day YET, however I am working on it.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The band was put on hold whilst Thunderstick and Jodee went to the U.S.A with the mixes of `Don`t Touch...` to try to secure some American interest. This they did with involvement from a company based in New Jersey. They had been out there for a considerable amount of time and the original members had all long gone to various other projects. Whilst in the US a new set of vocals were recorded to the original “Feel Like Rock`n Roll ?”, finally addressing the balance of Jodee being truly on the E.P. and the couple also found the time to get married.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">On returning to the UK they reformed the band with a completely new line-up for one last try but alas, the Major record deal that was required for such a theatrical project remained unattainable and after a few showcases Thunderstick called it a day.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A few Samson reformations during the early 1990’s and early 2000’s saw Thunderstick back in his cage for dates in Europe ,U.S.A, and Japan but the untimely deaths of guitarist Paul Samson and bassist Chris Aylmer signalled the end of the road also for that band.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><u><b>Present Day</b></u><br />Fastforward to April 2009 and Thunderstick is somewhat back in the public eye. He is quoted heavily in a recent Bruce Dickinson biography and interviewed unmasked on the DVD (Iron Maiden and The New Wave of British Heavy Metal). In April 2009 he was back on stage playing his co-written Samson material at the Keep It True heavy metal festival in Germany, and a number of interview features followed, including best-selling music magazine ‘Classic Rock’ which also voted him number 36 in a list of ‘50 Best Rock Drummers of all Time’. Praise indeed and proof of Thunderstick’s enduring appeal as one of the great rock n’ roll characters.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In the Spring of 2011 it was announced that the Thunderstick back-catalogue, encompassing the ‘Feel Like Rock n’ Roll?’ EP, ‘Beauty & The Beasts’ album, and a wealth of rare and previously unreleased bonus tracks would finally see light of day as a digitally remastered CD package entitled ‘Echoes From The Analogue Asylum’ (the title being a reference to the fact that this was the first time the music had been issued as a digital format).</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">And so it seemed like the perfect time to ask `Stick` a whole bunch of burning questions I’d been wanting to ask for years. Much has been written about his time with Samson and Maiden but little light has been shed on Thunderstick the band, so in addition to the information and quotes used in the biography above this was the main focus of our conversation conducted in two sessions via email, firstly in the Spring of 2009, then followed-up two years later to coincide with the ‘Echoes From The Analogue Asylum’ release.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So how do you begin an interview with a mad masked percussionist with a love of mindbending progressive rock and tendency to play his drums within a cage? Ask him about his favourite brand of drum sticks? Maybe something about his musical influences of memories of being interviewed for Kerrang! magazine? After some consideration I thought I’d get straight to the point.....</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Alex:</b> You are one of the most iconic figures from a particular era of rock music. Along with Iron Maiden mascot “Eddie the ‘Ead” perhaps the most recognisable. But without the mask do you ever get recognised? You must be tempted to put the mask/costume on in public from time to time. It would be awesome to go to the shops for a loaf of bread wearing full Thunderstick regalia.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Thunderstick: </b>You’re raving mad! I never go shopping..... I wish! No, I never feel the need to dress up as Thundersick and go out in my immediate neighbourhood. As far as being recognised, the fact that I am unmasked on the “Iron Maiden and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal” DVD (available at your local outlet) might just get me recognised – who know, who cares!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Alex:</b> How has the image/costume evolved over the years?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick: The image has evolved by a “softening”. It was a very stark image in the early days with Samson, resulting in much hatred from the newly formed Womens Liberation Group during the Cambridge rapist era (early 80s), the latter wearing a mask similar to the one that Thundersick wore. This led to tearing down of posters etc in areas that he had been active, and the accusation from these women that Thundersick wearing such a garment was glorifying the act of rape. This was so, so far removed from the Thundersick character who was, in my opinion, a loveable lunatic! I asked the aforementioned to debate this on radio but they always declined.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /><b>Alex:</b> On the ‘Iron Maiden and the NWOBHM’ DVD you say that you enjoyed the Sex pistols ‘Never Mind The Bollocks...’ Album. Do you enjoy any other punk bands? The Thunderstick image is not totally out of place amongst the punk scene, for example bands such as The Damned.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Thunderstick:</b> Yes, The Damned I love. I enjoyed the overall energy and forcefulness of the Punk movement. Out of any movement there will emerge a chosen few with the rest falling by the wayside. This in turn happened and we have the few bands that we look back on now with mainstream reverence as opposed to dismissal.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /><b>Alex:</b> Do you see any influence of what you were doing in the 1980’s on any artists since?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick: Yes..... SlipKnot where’s my namecheck!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Alex: So, about ‘Thunderstick’ the band. What were the musical objectives?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Thunderstick:</b> TO BE GOOD! I know this sounds ‘twee’ but I always regarded the band to be of good muscianship. The quality of the music stood for itself, and by the fact that I had a female vocalist at the front of it, it was somewhat different for its time. There were not that many female-led rock bands, for it is ‘rock’ as opposed to ‘metal’. Add to that the highly theatrical imagery.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The mixes, in hindsight, are not all they could have been, but given the limited facilities and time I produced an album that I am still proud of. Upon listening to it even now I still think it stands up to the test of time.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /><b>Alex:</b> There were various line-ups of Thunderstick the band. Any particular memories from each line-up?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Thunderstick:</b> The line-up with Vinnie the first singer, would be the first set of rehearsals on hearing that a female vocalist would actually work at the front of my band, and the Thundersick band appearance at the sold out Marquee Club, extremely hot having to have oxygen backstage. This was probably the hottest I have ever been, at times finding it actually hard to breathe behind the mask despite the fact that we had on stage with us two industrial fan blowers. It was the middle of a unrelenting heatwave!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Second line-up Anna, much rehearsal resulting in me using her on ‘Feel like Rock and Roll’ EP her then her losing her voice whilst in rehearsal and subsequent trips to the Ear, Nose and Throat hospital with worries that she could have permanently damaged her voice. That’s why I had to let her go She found intense rehearsal for any length of time unmanageable and subsequently she and the band had to part company.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Enter Jodee, Jodee we toured with, did both albums with, during which time Meatloaf asked her to join him when he was recording his ‘Modern Girls’ album. Contact was made through our then publishing company. He wanted both recording and touring commitment. After much deliberation he was turned down as a result of the fact that we were mid-way through recording our second album. By this time she and I were “an item” both personally as well as professionally.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /><b>Alex:</b> You released music on Thunderbolt records, which your website says was your own affiliated label. Was this your very own label?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick: I did not own the label, but was instrumental in setting it up – in other words, other people’s money........ politics and the good old rock and roll industry!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Alex: The aesthetic of the band – everything from the clothes to the logo has that old horror movie vibe to it. I especially like the haunted castle logo! Are you a fan of Hammer Horror? If so, which are your favourite films?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick: Fantastic! Can I congratulate you. As far as I can see you are the only person that has written about Thundersick the band that has picked up on the aesthetic of the band. All others seem to have an opinion that all was done on the cheap. This, to a certain extent, is true. There were never mega-bucks to be spent on the band in the way that large acts such as Iron Maiden have at their disposal. However, the whole ideal of the Thundersick image was indeed an amalgamation of “Hammer kitch”, my love for cheapie horror movies, Victoria London legend, eg fog-filled passageways with Jack the Ripper type characters lurking on every corner, the Rocky Horror Show and Edgar Allen Poe stories. I tried to sprinkle the band with an amount of each. Something that I truly enjoyed, but plainly sailed over the heads of any prospective reviewers et al. I am not sure even if the audiences picked up on it, so I thank you for seeing it as it was intended!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Favourite films: Vampire Lovers, all the Hammer Draculas, Countess Dracula; indeed I was honoured to take the lovely Ingrid Pitt to lunch once, an event I will NEVER forget!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Alex: Thunderstick always had awesome record sleeves. Your website biog says that the ‘Beauty and the Beasts’ album was released with inferior packaging to what you had in mind (you even had a different title for it). So were there any ideas/designs that you had which didn’t get used?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick: Yes indeed, there was a diferent title for it, it was to be called “Inomini Patris” which is Latin for “In the Name of the Father”, intimating that Thundersick was the daddy of the band – not literally but spiritually. The original album cover was to be a similar set-up to the “Feel like rock and roll” cover with the Thundersick character holding a playing card size photograph of the picture which was ultimately used as the full cover; this was to indicate transition from individual to band. Then, on the back cover individual photos of the band. However, the record comapany deemed that it was probably too expensive to engineer therefore went with the soft option of just using the original “mausaleum” shot.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Alex: Where were the photos that were included on your record sleeves taken?<br />Thunderstick: At a mauseleum just outside Shepperton, I can’t remember exactly where. All I remember was that it was an early shoot on a very cold winter’s morning.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Alex: Any video footage of Thunderstick the band?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick: Yes there was a video promotion shot in the old Great Western Railway hotel at St Pancras Station (i.e. the main building). At the time it was deserted, was completely gothic and also rumours of it being haunted. It was a building I first spotted on the inside cover of ‘Tales of Mystery and Imagination’ by Alan Parsons. In the inner booklet there is a picture of a girl dressed in white descending a large staircase. After some enquiry I found this to be St Pancras. I did three photoshoots there as well as a video. The video was financed by the then management company who paid for it. On separating from the management company (I am afraid they have to remain nameless due to legal reason) I was asked to pay what I considered to be an exhorbitant amount of money for the tapes, hence it exists ... somewhere, but I have never seen it I only saw the rushes. What I did see of it would have been absolutely perfect. There is a still from it on the Thundersick My Space site. The track that we were doing was called ‘Thunder-Thunder”. It was absolute Hammer-horror revisited.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Alex: Awesome, I’d love to see that!! Talking of pictures, the pics from the Autumn ‘83 tour look like you had some fun! Any good tour stories?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick: It was indeed a good tour, but somewhat frustrating for myself as I was finding it heavy going trying to break the band through in the popularity stakes. This was hard at times as I still had (due to the image) my female haters, even though there was now a female at the front. Coupled with the fact that there was a defintive Thundersick image from the Samson days to try and iradicate and project an upgraded version through the band. A task that at times seemed impossible. As regards tour stories, these will be in my book if I ever get time to write it!!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Alex: What were the high points and low points of Thunderstick the band?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick: The high points, probably (a) sellling out the Marquee Club, completeing the first album which I wrote, co-engineered and produced .... I remember long long sessions.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Low points, being reviewed for that same album by a self-opinionated, biased, theatre rock hating wannabee (I know the destination, but I don’t know how to drive the car!!!!) psuedonymed female rock ?........., my final word would have been “journalist”, but I am to this day not sure that she ever was, “Heavy Metal Heather”. She started the review by saying, “the one bad thing about this album is, that I have to actually sit and listen to it to review it. To all intents and purposes to my friends I wasn’t in by turning of the lights and hiding behind the curtains......” It went downhill from thereon in. It was plain by the review that she hadn’t fulfilled her duty to actually listen to it, but had formed her biased opinion on face-value by the very nature of the fact that it existed in the first place. Something to this day that still enrages me and we are talking over 20 years later....... That’s how angry I was, and still feel. It probably wasn’t the greatest album ever recorded but a lot of work went into it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Alex: Apart from drumming, what other jobs have you had? I read that you roadied for Chicken Shack and worked as a gym instructor?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Thunderstick:</b> Not that I have anything against roadies, they are the salt of the earth, however I have never roadied in my life. I was a live sound engineer for both Stan Webb’s Chicken Shack and Stevie Marriott (RIP) throughout German tours. I was also house sound engineer in South East London by the name of Barrington studies, where I engineered and produced an album by a band named the “Bomb Party”. As well as engineering all the sessions the studio had booked. This came to an end when my marriage to Jodee Valentine fell apart.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Yes indeed, I have worked as a gym insructor, I am Bawla qualified which enables me to teach both children and adults alike in weight training, conditioning, olympic lifts and power lifting. Having said that, I haven’t taught for a few years now.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thunderstick was back in Germany slaying crowds at the ‘Keep It True Festival’ in 2009. How crazy was it?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Totally crazy like stepping back in time 20 years, all wearing balck leather , denim with various band patches, circa UK 1980, I played two Samson tracks with a good backing band called Roxxcalibur, a NWOBHM `tribute` band. The tracks were ‘Bright Lights’ and ‘Too Close to Rock’. The singer was an American by the name of Harry Conklin who sings for a band called Jag Panzer, he had various Bruceisms both in voice and stage postures. I managed to pull a guy out of the crowd, stuck an extra mask on him that I had, let him dance around a bit, then covered him in 2 litres of water, retired back to the kit and left him there at the front of the stage soaked and masked, Dare I say `Dancing Fool` Frank Zappa.!!! I think I went down well, along with various members of Demon, Tank, Bleak House, Girlschool and others.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Alex: </b>The world would be a much duller place without Thunderstick! So, fast-forward to 2011, this will be remembered as the year Thunderstick (the band) finally makes it into the digital era and onto CD! What took so long?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Thunderstick:</b> Letheragy on my behalf probably, coupled with the fact that it has taken longer than I expected to get back the rights for my recorded material. But now its mine, all mine (laughs maniacally!)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, the original versions were released on vinyl over 20 years ago. How easy was it to remaster them and how pleased are you with the results?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It has taken a few months to remaster the original material. I have managed to add a large amount of unheard material both within the mixes and as additional unheard tracks, pleasantly kicking it into the ‘today’ fighting and screaming, making the transition from analogue (hence the title) to digital. Engineered by my friend and longstanding associate, Rob Grain (our backline tech back then) we have spent nostalgic hours transported back to the day. It has been a labour of love and we are both delighted with the subsequent outcome.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Alex:</b> Has this release emptied the vaults or is there more Thunderstick music waiting to see light of day?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Thunderstick: </b>Yes there is definitely more. The band’s proposed second album waits silently in the shadows. After a short break we intend to start remastering that album and subsequent extra tracks.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Alex:</b> Any plans for brand new Thunderstick music or any live shows in future?<br />Doubtful but I never say never! I think Thunderstick the band, was a product of its time and its genre. Having said that though, there are so many idioms these days that I am sure a modern day Thunderstick would sit snugly within any particular musical arena.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: white;">I was contacted by Steve Goldby, Metaltalk’s
main man, two years ago, asking if I had thought about writing down my
experiences of the early days of Iron Maiden. To be honest, I like writing, and
tried to get a book published about 10 years ago, with no success I might add,
but the thought of writing about Maiden hadn’t even crossed my mind. It was
Steve’s idea really. I asked him what sort of thing he expected and he just
said “Write something up and we’ll see what we can do with it”. So I got
writing and after 5 or 6 chapters I sent him my first piece, but he didn’t get
it warts and all. I have a good friend, Jules, who does all my editing, crosses
the t’s, dots the i’s etc, so she did her thing, sent it back to me, and I sent
it on to Steve. He liked it so much he gave me my own column. By the time the
first column went ‘live’ I had already written 10 chapters, and Jules had
returned another 5, so they sat in a file, and I would post one a month to
Metaltalk. I used to love seeing my column come out each month, and Jules did
such a great job that it never got touched by anyone before it went ‘live’.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: white;">I don’t even know how many readers my
column reaches. I have asked, but Goldby must be busy. LOL. On the back of the
column, I set up LoopyWorld-Iron Maiden on Facebook, just for fun really. I did
try to set up LoopyWorld.com, but found it time consuming and not knowing my
way around web building, I gave it up very quickly. Don’t try looking for it, I
gave up the rights to it recently. Getting back to the question, am I surprised
about the page growth? Of course I am. In two weeks time LoopyWorld-Iron Maiden
is one year old, and to have almost 5,000 followers is incredible. And these
people are from every corner of the planet. Just incredible.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

was from a demo session for EMI, featuring Doug Sampson on drums, and that this
was the same session that yielded the demo version of 'Running Free' which
turned up on the various artists 'Axe Attack' compilation. Do you
remember whether or not that is true, and were any other songs demo'd with Doug
around that time? Or with Clive Burr as part of the pre-production for the first
album - or did they just go in and record the versions that were included on
the actual album?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11pt;">I honestly don't remember Doug doing any
other recording other than what's already out there. As for the album, Harris
knew which songs he wanted to use, so both Clive and Dennis were given a crash
course on those tracks, and after a few warm up dates, we went straight into
the studio and recorded it. The whole thing was done in just over a week.
Although, according to my diary notes, Maiden recorded the single "
Running Free" at Morgan Studio's on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th, January
1980, at least four weeks before the rest of the album. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Muscle Car: <em>Daibutsu Rock N Roll</em></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">Damo Musclecar sent me a very pretty cobalt-blue-splatter-on-clear-vinyl
45” for Christmas this year, which was pretty sweet of him, considering I live
in Canada and he lives in Australia, so postage must’ve been a bitch. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">“I hope
you dig its complete disregard for how much it steals from Motorhead,” Damo
told me, and, sure enough, there’s a decidedly Kilmisterian influence here. (In
great rock and roll, isn’t there always?) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Daibutsu
Rock N Roll</i> is a pedal-to-the-metal rock ‘n’ roll joyride that made me want
to hop on an airplane (2900 species of spiders be damned!) so I could hang out
with these dudes, who clearly like to have a good time. On the B-side, the band
does justice (and pays homage) to The Replacements in a swinging cover of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bastards of Young</i>. </span></div>

<i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“This book covers the dark ages of ‘Maiden: Gigs, trivia, it’s a blow-by-blow
account, warts and all, the inside story including my time with ‘Maiden during
the late 1970s, as well as my time with Praying Mantis in which we toured with Iron
Maiden’s on two occasions – ‘Metal for Muthas’ and also on ‘Maiden’s own first
headline tour – and all of the madness that went on there! I’ve always been a
nerd for keeping notes and stuff, I’ve been sat on this stuff for years like a
lazy bastard, it took a while to do it but now it’s written and I’m hoping to
find a UK publisher for it.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These were the words of Bob Sawyer, (aka ‘Rob Angelo’), former
guitarist of both Iron Maiden and Praying Mantis during their formative years
in the 1970s and 1980s. As a ‘Maiden nut and nerd-type fan of all things
related to their ‘rock family tree’, guitarist Bob Sawyer, was
someone I’d hoped for some time to make contact with in order to write this
feature. Thanks to the power of the
internet I made contact in February 2014, and Bob was happy to talk for an hour
about the book and also of his experiences during the formative British
rock/heavy metal scene more generally. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We discussed his early influences - which included the
Shadows, Duane Eddy, Tony Hicks of The Hollies, before the arrival of Eric
Clapton <i>“the first Cream album was a
milestone in blues rock”,</i> and Michael Schenker, whose work with UFO in the
1970s was of course an influence on ‘Maiden, whom Bob joined towards the end of
1976:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I’d been playing in bands for a few years already by that point
including a group called ‘Xero’, and also in a band from London called ‘Shady
Lady’ (not to be confused with the American band of the same name) who I joined
in the summer of 1976, replacing Dave Colwell who would go on to join 720,
Samson, as well as some ‘Maiden related projects, and eventually Bad Company.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had also been in a band named Nitro with Den Wilcock who by 1976 was
fronting Iron Maiden. In December 1976 I was no longer playing for Shady Lady
and one day I was in my car at traffic lights (at the junction of Lea Valley
rd. and Sewardstone rd, Chingford, Essex, to be precise!) and I heard this
voice shout through the window asking me if I was still playing in any band. It
was Den Wilcock and also in there were Steve Harris and Dave Murray. A week
later I was in Iron Maiden. At that time
they were playing in a trailer in this muddy field, you had to wade through all
of this muck, it was like the Battle of the Somme.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, Iron Maiden at this time, and for the duration of my time in the
band, was Ron Rebel (drums), Den Wilcock (lead vocals), Dave Murray (guitar),
Steve Harris (bass) and myself (guitar). That was the line-up from December
1976 until July ’77 when I left. Basically what happened there was Den Wilcock
wanted this other guy Terry in the band and me and Dave left – although
obviously Davey joined them again some time later.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The set list at this time comprised mainly original
songs, most of which would surface on ‘Maiden’s eponymous debut album in 1980,
as well as one or two others such as ‘Drifter’ which turned up in live form as
a B-side and EP track, and then as a studio cut on the follow-up album
‘Killers’ in ’81. At this time Maiden were also playing Montrose’s ‘I’ve Got
The Fire’, which remained in the set for some time after and also be recorded
in live and studio form no various B-sides.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Asked about Maiden’s sound at this time, the extent to
which the songs resembled the later recorded versions, and whether or not they
were slower and bluesier as internet reports of the earlier Iron Maiden
line-ups suggest, Bob replied that during his spell in the band:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“The influences were British prog rock – especially bands
like Stray and Nektar - Steve was really into that – and also American rock
such as Kiss, Ted Nugent, and like I say, Montrose. The songs were a bit slower
but not bluesy.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 2.25pt;">

<span style="background-color: black; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To get a feel for what this might have sounded
like, I tried to imagine ‘Drifter’ at a slower tempo and it started to sound
familiar – I asked Bob if during his time with the band that song bore a
passing resemblance to ‘Blowin Free’ by Wishbone Ash?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">

A couple of years later
though, after they’d had all of their gear stolen in 1978, they sort of stopped
and it was just Murray and Harris left in the group, and they didn’t do any
gigs but they re-built the band through 1978 and 1979. I remember going to see
them as a member of the audience and the first thing I noticed as a guitar
player was that everything was faster – they built the sound around the speed
that Dave played, and all those guitar players who went through the ranks after
that: Parsons, Dennis Stratton, you know, the message was: this is our sound
now and this is how you have to play these songs. So the sound of the band was by
then all geared around Dave Murray’s guitar playing.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

you playing?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i> “We’d play the Cart & Horses
pub every week, and every week the crowds got bigger and bigger. We couldn’t
believe what was happening.”</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Even then, Maiden had a light show and provided the sort
of on-stage theatrics untypical of most other bands gigging on the East-End pub
circuit, which helped bring in a crowd craving a bit of rock showmanship. Official
Iron Maiden biographies which tell the tale of the band playing such obscure pub
shows in London’s East End during Bob’s tenure, with their move into North- and
West-London venues being orchestrated and masterminded later, by DJ Neil Kaye
and manager Rod Smallwood. Bob’s version of events indicates though that although his might be mostly true, Maiden were in fact also already venturing into North
London ‘showcase’ venues and getting onto some decent support slots with fairly
major bands:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“During my time, Iron Maiden supported Trapeze at Camden Music Machine,
although it wasn’t our finest moment. We started with Transylvania
(instrumental track that would later be recorded for Iron Maiden’s first album
a few years later) but had terrible technical problems with things not working
properly. We’d thought we were really
good but we didn’t really cope well in that situation and Trapeze, in
comparison, showed us how it should be done. They’d already done several US tours
and that gig showed the men from the boys.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;">I thought that this was interesting - whilst the Trapeze/Music Machine gig is sometimes listed on fan websites, and a <a href="http://www.ironmaidencommentary.com/pictures/bootlegs/1979-80/1977-06-23_ad.jpg" target="_blank">flyer does exist</a>, it was the first time that I'd heard anything about the show itself. A bit more digging around indicates that 'Maiden were indeed getting scouted by A&R types at this time, David Bates who was scouting Def Leppard at that time (and instrumental in getting them signed to Mercury Records) lists the Music Machine show on his <a href="http://www.dbmusic.co.uk/best-of/gigs/1970s/" target="_blank">website</a> as one of his stand-out gigs of the 1970s. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As well as bands such as 'Maiden and Def Leppard, another band of the era which utilised the twin-guitar
approach to melodic but powerful effect was Praying Mantis, and in January
1980, Bob joined their ranks:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“At the time they were choosing a new guitarist, Tino Troy (Praying
Mantis founder member) actually got in touch with Steve Harris and asked about
me and Steve told them ‘yeah, great guitar player, goes for it on stage’ which
confirmed to them to give me the gig. ‘Mantis was a great band, really had something
musically. Like ‘Maiden we played all original songs with Wishbone Ash style
guitar harmonies, it also reminded me of Blue Oyster Cult at times.” </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I didn’t tow the party line, which is a euphemism for ‘I
behaved like a diva!’ Even after that though I had the support of the record
company but I went down to live in Cornwall for the rest of the summer like a
rock star in exile and three months later when I came back, ready to do
something, I’d missed my chance. I
joined the band Weapon for a while, but after that I stayed on the pub circuit
with mates. I’d had enough –each time you’re out of a band or the band splits
you have to start all over from the bottom – it’s a precarious business.” <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But what a business – and Bob has been fortunate to not
only serve time in some of the foremost bands of the NWOBHM (new wave of
British Heavy Metal) but also to have seen some of the biggest acts in rock
when they were still slogging around the smaller venues. Highlights include
Deep Purple just as their pivotal album ‘In Rock’ was being released, the J
Geils and, Wizard and Ray Buchannan at The Sundown (an old converted cinema in
Edmonton), T-Rex in 1971 at London’s Roundhouse, The Faces, Free, Steve Marriott
playing incendiary sets in venues such as London’s Marquee Club. The list goes
on and it is clear that Bob is someone who was there at the heart of the action
during some very exciting and formative times for the hard rock and heavy metal
genres. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There’s something going on in deepest South London. First it
was the Bermondsey Joyriders with their face melting slide guitar infused blues-punk.
Now we have the Peckham Cowboys purveying the sort of whisky snorting,
hipshaking, harmonica melting, sleazy and greasy rock n’ roll that you’ve been
longing for. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you enjoy listening to bootlegs of the (London) Quireboys
from their mid-80s/Gossips n’ Marquee Club/pre-EMI era, the Small Faces at
their most cockney, or Izzy Stradlin’s detours inot reggae, then you’ll probably
like this too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Founded by ex-Quireboy Guy Bailey alongside fellow stalwarts
of the British rawk n’ roll scene Marc Eden and Dale Hodgkinson, and a drum
machine, The ‘Cowboys already released one album entitled ‘Flog It’ in 2011. With
Bailey no longer involved, the current line-up includes Timo Kaltio (Hanoi
Rocks, Izzy Stradlin Band, Cheap & Nasty) on guitar, Duncan McKay (Primal
Scream) on horns and keys, Ryan McCormick (Steven Adler Band) on drums, as well
as another former Quireboy (and one of the best rock n’ roll bassists in the
business) – Nigel Mogg. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The band have come up with some good soundbites to describe
their style, “like Steptoe and Son on crack” and “a fire alarm going off in the
burning remnants of the music industry”. Whilst that all looks great in print, it doesn't provide much of a reference point. The closest comparison that I could think of was some of the stuff recorded by Quireboys frontman Spike’s mid-90s ‘God’s Hotel’
project – or better still, imagine the Quireboys ‘From Tooting to Barking’ demos played
through a distortion pedal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But there’s more to this band of Gin Lane dwelling ne'er do wells than their Quireboys
connections - the likes of ‘The Debt Collector’ and ‘Don’t Damn The Hypnotist’ give
the album more depth than your usual rock n’ roll album and there are
some imaginative and interesting twists. There’s some
dub and reggae, some distortion, some light and shade, and some amusing
lyrics too. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all it is a strong
album, which captures the sound of London’s dirty underbelly and a true spirit
of rock n’ roll that is all too rare in this day and age.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you like bluesy hard rock but not the airbrushed sort that yuppie’s
listen to, then give these “Sarf Lahndahn” chancers a listen, you’ll not regret
it. Alongside fellow South-of-the-river
rockers the Bermondsey Joyriders, and others such as Taurus Trakker, The
Peckham Cowboys are doing their bit to not only keep rock n’ roll alive but to
take it into some new directions away from the beaten path. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Columbus gunk punks Cadaver Dogs are equal parts Hellacopters/Supersuckers/ZZ Top/Danko Jones piss and vinegar — but what separates them from the rest of the rock heap is their undeniable swagger — both recorded — not only does the "Superloose" vinyl rip, it's a limited number out of 666 copies and comes complete with a Cadaver Dogs "midnight black" condom and download card for all you computer geeks; but also live as evidenced anywhere in the past month on their U.S. tour. </div>
<div class="p1">
They're everything you want in a live rock band — energetic and bombastic, but with the songs to back it up. The lyrics are sharp and passionate. The riffs are as subtle as a brick shit house in tracks "super loose & turbohigh," "Sunglasses" and "Buy Me A Shot." Most of "Superloose" is the sleaze-rock soundtrack to robbing a liquor store and kidnapping sorority girls. </div>
<div class="p1">
But it's not all just sex and drugs. There's quite a bit of reckless love and heartache here as well. </div>
<div class="p1">
"Only Blue" is about as gut-wrenching as it gets. You don't write lines like "It's not enough to say you're tough then get mad because shit got rough … baby I just wanna be free … it didn't work and it sure won't now," unless you've lived it. </div>
<div class="p1">
<div class="p1">
Closing track "Trippin" is the road-worn and weary rock anthem of the last decade. The entire album is like dousing everything in sight with gasoline, then "Trippin'" is the lit match that fucking blows it all to pieces. </div>

Sham 69, Lords of The New Church, The Clash, and Cockney Rejects deliver 14

<span lang="EN-GB">There’s always a risk that by putting too
many three minute power-nuggets together you end up with a sort of homogenous

problem by throwing in a few curveballs here and there to mix things up. Mostly though, great songwriting and high
energy rock n’ roll with hooks is the order of the day. With debut album material as good as ‘Busy
Making Noise’, ‘Down by The Border’ and ‘Gangster Radio’ let’s hope that The Crunch is more than just a one-off experiment. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><b>Album Review: 'Spitfire'</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Having previously reviewed the double
A-Side ‘comeback’ single released earlier this year I was intrigued to hear
this latest album from Jonny Cola and the A-Grades album when it landed on my
desk. The debut album ‘In Debt’ was
released way back in 2010 which is a long time in rock n’ roll, and new album
‘Spitfire’ was lucky to see light of day at all, the band having been on-hold
for a year whilst frontman Jonny Cola recovered from a life-saving
operation. Having successfully avoided
being killed by death, JC&TAG set about making up for lost time, writing
and recording this album as well as successfully tapping up their fan-base to
part-fund it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">What does it sound like? Well there are
some loud and proud vintage Bowie and Mott The Hoople melodic and camp-ish rock
n’ roll, some low-down sleazy Rolling Stones guitar riffing, a hint of Hanoi
Rocks and London Marquee Club circa 1980s, a pinch of post-2000 new wave
inspired garage-indie that wouldn’t sound out of place next to The Libertines,
and a few some epic big production moments for good measure. In other words: Catchy hooks, stomping glitter
rock, punchy powerpop, and tight but loose rock n’ roll guitar are all on
display, making for a sound that is somehow trashy, arty, retro and modern all
at the same time. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Beginning with the sound of an aeroplane (presumably
a Spitfire) things then kick straight into top gear with ‘In the Woods’
followed swiftly by the singles ‘Tropical Beach’ and ‘Straight to Video’. The latter
works better in the context of the whole album than it did as the lead-off
single, in my humble opinion: An epic, dynamic and well produced centre piece. Pleasingly
the quality control is maintained throughout all 10 tracks and ends on a high
with the melancholy but uplifting Bowie-ish piano led closer ‘Out of the Woods’
(see what they did there!?).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Available as a digital download, CD or good
old fashioned vinyl album, but check it out for yourself as the whole thing can
be heard as a stream via: <a href="http://jonnycolaandtheagrades.bandcamp.com/album/spitfire-album">http://jonnycolaandtheagrades.bandcamp.com/album/spitfire-album</a></span></div>

One man; one mission. New Jersey native and metal film and magazine editor maniac, <span style="color: red;">Bill Zebub</span> kicks his flick off with a Norseman helmet inside Black Metal's home domain, Norway with a solid, cryptic Black Metal cast that outnumbers and surpasses plaque survivors over causalities. <span style="color: red;">King Diamond,</span> <span style="color: red;">Cronos, Grutle Kjellson, Tom G Warrior, Dani Filth, Abbath</span> and members from <span style="color: red;">Darkthrone, Satyricon, Fintroll, Kreator, Marduk, Immortal</span> and <span style="color: red;">Gorgoroth</span> join the assembly for a retrospective, roundabout ranting, raving review and glance at capsizing the hidden demeanor of Black Metal's origins without the glossy, superficial touch finish of corpse paint and Satanism. From afar <b>Black Metal: 'The Music Of Satan'</b> sounds like a dark theatrical musical starring, Pan the goat and other mythical creatures of a foreign abyss of Black magic metal lands. Turns out, its a HIGH, metal class comedy, and<span style="color: red;"> Bill Zebub's</span> talent really pans out from behind the camera, as much as, he toils with controversial beliefs and questions in front of it. His journalism method speaks volumes to an audience of like-minded, B-movie rats within an Indie art rat race. Before Black Metal dissolves into thin frosty air like a talentless flake, <span style="color: red;">Bill Zebub</span> has captured some amazing footage of an era that spent more time bad mouthing the labels, press and controversy than they spent bad mouthing them or each other. What essentially unfolded as four hours of hell on a digital versatile disc, in reality took Bill through of saga of letdown emails, events and circumstances that he avoided weeping too many black tears over. The outcome is effective and quality is above average while it even comes with extras and deleted scenes that promise a hit of nitrous from Black Metal laughing gas splices and outtakes. The storyboard doesn't lose fluidity, and mad props for <span style="color: red;">Bill Zebub</span> for not losing his sanity while exploring the natural highs and lows of bi-polar music and film producing. Today, you will find him still inspiring or conspiring against Christianity and hypocrisy through multi-media outlets without limitation except for those possibly in favor of sodomy. Check out his entire filmography on his own website listed below, and either love or hate him. If any director is ultimately inspired by the depths of other's happiness or depression, they would do better at commercials or videos for chemicals and corporations than producing something of substance from a direct inner interest and influence. <br />
<br />
<br />
Scenes from <b>Pagan Metal </b>documentary are also thrown into this mix of Black Metal commentary coming from direct stories of members who either lived it, acted out with it or created it. Not a moment of footage went to waste in the interview airtime. Camera mics are even, discretely interlaced and placed in scenes, like a black metal blooper moment not to be missed. Actresses, models and porn stars are welcome along with the total fill and assemble for male and chick film. Some of the finest, Black Metal live performances witnessed in the East Coast can be observed from a flat screen TV with your metal boots propped up on Black Metal TV dinner plate, which consists of spaghetti arteries underneath of a very rare, passionate meat. If you're looking for glitter and glam, look elsewhere! This is a bloody true, grim story of little faith, and just how far it can get you in the featured present and/or afterlife. <br />

<div class="p1">
Reckless Love wear their 80s rock influences on their lip-stick stained sleeves which coincidentally aren't even there. That's without question. </div>
<div class="p1">
Now, the big issue with bands doing the 80s nostalgia thing in the present day, is so many simply don't deliver. It's basically a lot of eyeliner, a hot chick or three the band happens to know in the video, and ultimately a bad attempt to re-create the bright lights and big hair of the Sunset Strip. </div>
<div class="p1">
Finland's Reckless Love follow many of these same formulas. </div>
<div class="p1">
The difference? They in fact do it better than many of the bands they're paying tribute to. </div>
<div class="p1">
Look, "Spirit," much like the band's previous releases, has some serious similarities to big hair hits of the 80s — specifically Def Leppard, Motely Crue, Van Halen, Poison and a few slightly more obscure. </div>
<div class="p1">
But until now no other band has captured exactly what the album title implies – the spirit. </div>
<div class="p1">
It's all been looks and no substance. </div>
<div class="p1">
Don't get me wrong, if you're not familiar with the band and you go You Tube-ing at videos, you're gonna get the 80s looks and cliches down pat. </div>
<div class="p1">
But it's the hooks that matter. </div>
<div class="p1">
Anyone can get the 80s look down if they try hard enough, but not many can sing better than Vince Neil, David Lee Roth and craft better hooks than Nikki Sixx in his prime. </div>
<div class="p1">
Again, that's the point — Reckless Love do it better. </div>
<div class="p1">
"Night On Fire," released earlier this year as the album's first single, was a perfect prelude. It's the standout track, but not by much. "Bad Lovin'" is total Motley Crue circa '88, and "I Love Heavy Metal" is so close to Poison's "Unskinny Bop" they may have a lawsuit on their hands. </div>
<div class="p1">
Somehow I think Reckless Love would not only show up to said lawsuit dressed to the nines, but would probably perform on the bench and turn the court case into an all-day party and eventually have sex with the hot female judge. </div>
<div class="p1">
There's big ballads like "Edge of Our Dreams" and "Hot Rain."</div>
<div class="p1">
There's more rock ala "Sex, Drugs and Reckless Love" and "So Happy I Could Die."</div>
<div class="p1">
This is the catchiest batch of songs of any genre I've heard since Butch Walker's "Left of Self Centered" some 10 years ago, which is damn good company. </div>
<div class="p1">
Right now, Reckless Love are only an overseas commodity, but maybe, just maybe, if America gets its head out of its ass long enough to admit it actually loves catchy songs like this, and quits hiding behind trends and peer pressure, they'll have a chance here. </div>
<div class="p1">

Huey Lewis has balls. Big fucking balls. He has to. First off, he goes by the name Huey. Huey is a Disney cartoon duck. Hell, it sounds like some sort of weather condition. Boy it sure is “Huey” out today. That or some sort of geriatric disease. “Had to go to the doctor and get a prescription. I got a bad case of the ‘Huey.’ Yeah, they say it might fall off.”<br />
<br />
Now, name alone isn’t what gives Huey his rock ‘n’ roll street cred, heavens no. Huey’s also packing the News. What’s the News? Huey’s minions are the News. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, it’s the fuckin’ News jack. And the News is made up of musicians who are all probably better than most of the stuff that gets plugged in Flash Metal Suicide kingdom. Honestly, when was the last time you heard anyone cover a Huey Lewis and the News song? Believe me, I’ve tried. I’m into cheese, no matter the flavor. And whether or not it’s Raven, Ratt or Huey Lewis, they just don’t write ’em like that anymore.<br />
There’s too much going on to cover a News track. You would need six guys, all of which who could sing their asses off and play a variety of instruments. No one sounds like Huey Lewis and the News except for Huey Lewis and the News. The classic lineup consisted of Huey on harmonica and vocals, Johnny Colla on sax, guitar and backup vocals (which I’ll elaborate more on later), Bill Gibson on drums and backup vox, Chris Hayes on guitar and backups, Sean Hopper on keyboards and backups, and the greased-up bassist that looked like a cross between Emilo Estivez and Patrick Swayze in “The Outsiders,” Mario Cipollina. The News was, and still is as tight a band I’ve ever seen (Yes, I’ve seen the spectacle live). It sounds like six different bands at once, but somehow behind the signature Huey vocal stitches together like some sort of Member’s Only jacket with rhythm.<br />

<br />
Perhaps the ballsiest moves of all are the names Huey gives his albums. “Fore!,” and “Hard at Play” come to mind. But the album I’m going to focus on for this here piece is the one and only “Sports.” “Sports?” How in Christ’s name did they think up “Sports” as an album title? That would be like calling your album (insert random noun here) and totally sticking it to the world by going multi-platinum with it. It’s exactly what Huey did. All this in the same decade that brought us Bananarama, Flock of Seagulls, Billy Ocean (who’s song “Loverboy” is boss, by the way), Debbie Gibson, Spandau Ballet … the list goes on. Simply put, Huey could call his album whatever the hell he wanted because even though he had numerous No. 1’s on the Billboard charts, he was unlike anything or anyone at that time or even now, and he’ll forever earn respect from musicians and MILF’s alike for actually playing instruments (sans a drum machine or two in the studio) and putting on one hell of a live rock show.<br />
Let’s delve in, shall we? Opening this 80s pop rock ‘n’ roll masterpiece is perhaps Huey’s most famous and recognizable tune of all time, “Heart of Rock ‘n’ Roll.”<br />
“The Heart of Rock ‘n’ Roll is still beating, in Cleveland.”<br />
I’m from just south of Cleveland so I don’t know that I agree with that. But what Huey says is the fuckin’ News, so who am I to argue?<br />
<br />
This song is just plain sick. It’s a drum machine and a bass line, with accented guitar, saxophone, keyboards and harmonica. There’s no main riff line here. Huey’s vocal carries it. For all you rock bands out there. Try to play this song. I dare you. It’ll blow your mind. There’s rock, rhythm and blues, jazz and pop all going on at the same time. How does it work? I don’t know, but it does for the News and it’s a damn swinging rocker if I ever heard one.<br />
“At two o’ clock this morning, if she should come a calling, I wouldn’t dream of turning her away.”<br />
“Heart and Soul” was Huey’s first big hit, although the Hue and co. didn’t pen it. It was written by Mike Champman and Nicky Chinn, whose resume included Sweet, Suzi Quatro, Mud and Smokie. What starts off as a cheesy keyboard line, turns into Flash Metal riffdom. Listen when the guitar kicks in. Again the main base of the song is drums, keyboards, bass and Huey. When Hayes does come in on guitar, he doesn’t fuck around – just hits a thunderous A to D chord progression that knocks you into next week.<br />
“Went uptown to see my cousin, play his guitar sound like a chainsaw buzzin,’ in the crowd I see his mom and dad, I say hey, hey uncle, man your son is bad. Cool is the rule, but sometimes bad is bad.”<br />
Huey’s the shit, and he knows it. If you suck, he’ll tell you. If your stew sucks, he ain’t eating it. And if you, dare I say it, cheat on the Hue, he will thwart you in this song.<br />
<br />
“I want a new drug, one that won’t go away, one that won’t keep me up all night, one that won’t make me sleep all day.”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMWNHvK47Gcx0_NnXrMzFniXWjHH-_6n4tZ8xAGD6Ta03whlJgi5c5wzY631zISej2QYG_qITWbQyckvYR2UpdjgtJe_IBCEjwAd0hHL4aOSW-h4ql0F05jW0a3QGyme1IuYFYrg/s1600/Hueygood.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMWNHvK47Gcx0_NnXrMzFniXWjHH-_6n4tZ8xAGD6Ta03whlJgi5c5wzY631zISej2QYG_qITWbQyckvYR2UpdjgtJe_IBCEjwAd0hHL4aOSW-h4ql0F05jW0a3QGyme1IuYFYrg/s400/Hueygood.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I’m sure Huey got his fair share of tail in the day. Hell, still probably does. Clearly an ode to sex, “I Want a New Drug” was so catchy fuckin’ “Ghostbusters” ripped it off for its theme. Huey won the court battle for it though, so suck on that Ray Parker Jr. Dick.<br />
“Sometimes in my bed at night, I curse the dark and I pray for the light, and sometime’s the lights no consolation… Labeled as freaks, lose on the streets of the city.”<br />
My personal favorite Huey Lewis track, “Walking on a Thin Line,” is pretty much nothing but bass and drums, but damnit if Huey didn’t pull it off with his vocal lines again. This is catchy as all hell, but like many Huey songs, doesn’t cross the path of unbearable pop music.<br />
Granted, the Hue has put out a lot of tracks written for him that are pretty God awful (“Doing It All For My Baby,” “Stuck With You,” “Do You Believe in Love” – which was actually written by the one and only Mutt Lange), but though with his best songs he’s always close, he does manage to walk that thin line – just slightly on the side of rock ‘n’ roll where he belongs.<br />
“Everybody needs a place, even if it’s on a stage, everybody needs a race, something to help them turn the page.”<br />
The Hue gets a little preachy in “Finally Found a Home,” but you wouldn’t know it disguised under the upbeat acoustic guitar, driving bass and accented riffs. Not one of the albums strongest tracks, but no one in the 80s did a full album that was good.<br />
“You been thinking, and I been drinking, we both know that it’s just not right.”<br />
If other Flash Metal acts can have their ballads, so can Huey – and “If This Is It” is his crooning masterpiece on “Sports.” Huey takes a shot at his female fans. A bit of “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” advice. Okay, so this is total pop, a bit nauseating even. But the over/under on how much ass Huey got for writing this song is in the thousands. I’ll take a hundred on the over, please.<br />
“You should see yourself in the mirror, with your leather lips and snakeskin shoes.”<br />
“You Crack Me Up” is filler on an album that four songs ago already went platinum. Although the keyboard leading the way on here is pretty funny. I doubt this one ever made the live set. It’s pretty much pure 80s cheese, but again, Huey’s brand of cheese.<br />
“Hey lord I’ve got ’em, I’ve got the honey tonk blues.”<br />
This song makes no sense to me other than I think Huey said piss on everyone, I’m going to put an upbeat country song to close this thing out. By this point, everyone had pretty much stopped the cassette, fast forwarded and flipped it over. This song sounds like it should be in “Bull Durham” when Kevin “Crash Davis” Costner and Tim “Ebby Calvin Laloosh” Robbins are riding on the bus. At least it’s only about three minutes long.<br />
I’ve been called many things for my liking of Huey Lewis and the News. None of which have been particularly flattering, but I will say this. A while back on one drunken night I busted out “Sports” at a party and cranked the motherfucker to 10. Chicks love a guy with a sense of humor, and Huey’s had it right all along. That’s the News folks.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><strong>Turbo
Lovers</strong> frontman B.J. Lisko wears many hats. Okay, it’s usually just the one,
but I’m being metaphorical here. What I mean is that he does a lot of stuff out
there in Youngstown, Ohio: he is the current Editor-in-Chief of the <em>Youngstown
Pulse</em>, he talked about hat-tricks and right hooks and flagrant fouls as sports
editor of <em>The Salem News</em> for a while, he appears occasionally on a really great
podcast called <strong>Movies About Girls</strong> (shameless plug), he reviews records for you right here on <strong>Sleazegrinder</strong> (another shameless plug), and, most importantly for
you, sleazy reader, rocks his hat off in a slew of bands, most recently the
Turbo Lovers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">(As
an aside, I must confess to not knowing a goddamn thing about Youngstown, Ohio,
so I used the magic of the internet to do a little research. The most interesting
thing I found was this headline from a link on the town’s official website: “<span style="mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Youngstown's improbable comeback attracting
attention and creating jobs.” So things are looking up for Detroit's baby brother, which is kind of too bad, since turmoil and toil generally beget
kick-ass rock and roll.) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Speaking
of kick-ass rock and roll<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, <strong>Hopelessly
Addicted</strong></i>, the fifth full-length Turbo Lovers record, sounds like it
crawled, spitting and snarling, straight out of the aforementioned turmoil and
toil: nine songs about bad luck, booze, heartache, and the lamentable state of
rock 'n' roll, backed by turbo-charged riffs, solid beats, and B.J.’s straining punk rock
vocals. Two standouts for me are “No Chance in Hell,” which, unexpectedly, is a
strangely hopeful cymbal-crashing, cowbell-clocking ode to keeping on, man,
because that’s all any of us can do, and “All I’ve Got,” a sweet love song with
a verse full of na-na-na’s (nonsense words will win me over every time). There’s
definitely a fighting spirit in these Lovers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">You
can check ‘em out live at a scuzzy bar if you ever accidentally find yourself
waiting on a car part in Youngstown. Tell B.J. that Holly sent you and maybe he’ll
tip his hat at you and buy you a beer. I also recommend that you buy a CD or
download it on iTunes or whatever it is you do to listen to good music these
days. Riot on, and stay sleazy.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33650323.post-46132536402666423222013-07-02T11:51:00.001-07:002013-07-02T11:51:55.047-07:00BASTRAD<h3>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bastrad, now there’s a cool name for a
band. Looking for something to do on a
Friday night, my wife and I saw ‘em listed on the gig guide and the description
also sounded pretty good. Further
investigation revealed that a) they are a local band, hailing from York, b)
they’ve previously opened for a host of rock legends such as LA Guns and The
Quireboys, c) tonight was the band’s launch gig for their new opus magnus ‘Riff
Propelled Grenade’.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clad in various classic rock t-shirts (Whitesnake,
etc) the band begin proceedings with few audience teasing bars of Survivor’s
‘Eye of The Tiger’, a confident start that grabs the crowd’s attention. Based upon the next couple of songs though, it
was apparent that Bastrad’s original material leans towards the more metallic end
of the rock spectrum. The technical
ability was good although some stronger hooks would have made an even greater
first impression.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Something that impressed me about Bastrad
was that they kept momentum between numbers.
Their talking drummer did a good job of interacting with the crowd
whilst the guitarists and frontman tuned up between songs. This avoided the awkward silences between
numbers that happens at some local shows.
In fact the energy levels were kept high throughout and the crowd were
suitably entertained.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Around halfway into the set Bastrad introduce
the title track from their new EP, ‘Riff Propelled Grenade’ (great title!) and it
was at this point when they really hit their stride. Taking everything into account, the song in
particular seems to define their sound (dynamic riffing, guitar hero solo-ing,
and several mega-tons of untamed rock power). </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the remainder of the set, Bastrad were
joined by guest vocalist Zakk (formerly of York sleaze rockers ‘Kid Ego’,
currently fronting York clown-rockers ‘A Jokers Rage’). The audience respond with a huge roar of
approval and the set closes on a high. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Bastrad and a great showcase for their new EP.
