Steve Stevens was Billy Idol's Main Man, And

the Reason He Hit It Big (I Believe...)

Near the End of the 80's, 

Steve formed The Atomic Playboys

for a One-Off Record and Tour...

Here They are Live in Canada in 1989!

This FM Broadcast Features Songs from Their album...

Plus Some Really Good Covers!

(Yeah, The Song Titles Are What You Think They Are!)

Matter of Fact, They Start and End the Show with Covers!

Live Fast,Play Loud...

I must admit I don't have anything by Helloween

not a band I've listen to much.

I've heard the odd song here and there.

But once again here's another

 old school triple guitar attack and two vocalists Metal show.

(Updated,told you I didn't know that much about them!! Ha.)

Not even a month old,

 again presented to us by BowlingRon.

Cranking It Up...

Trad Metal now from one of Canada's best known

Metal bands,Anvil.

They made a bit of a splash back in the early 80s,

featuring in Kerrang! a few times.

I did buy Hard 'n Heavy back then 

but I didn't keep up with the band.

Many years later they returned again with 

that documentary showing what it's really like 

being in a band.

Still out their Bangin' Their Heads!!

She Doesn't Have Anything...

Not a band I know much about.

Sure I remember them from the 80s

and the big hit,Pretty In Pink.

Anyway here's a nice sounding soundboard from 

Spain,1984.

You Know The Deuce Is Wild...

Thanks to BowlingRon for sharing his 

recordings with us.

A couple of Canadian legends in Coney Hatch

and Lee Aaron here from 2023.

Coney Hatch I was into for the first couple of albums.

Hearing Devil's Deck on the Friday Rock Show

made me go out and buy their debut.

I liked Carl's Melodic Rock songs

and Andy's more left field off the wall tunes.

Lee Aaron,can't say I ever bought her albums.

But did enjoy her appearances in KERRANG! magazine.

Didn't she go off to do Jazz then returned to Rock Music?

I Hope They're Comin' For Me...

It's the Motor City Madman from Cobo Hall '82.

Excellent Radio Broadcast featuring the 

classic line up:

Derek St. Holmes guitar, vocals

Ted Nugent guitar, vocals

Rob Grange - bass

Clifford Davies - drums

Good old honest to goodness Hard Rock.

Well,Dark Clouds Are Rollin'...

Blues legend Jimmie Vaughan with a very nice set here.

Guest of Eric Clapton back in 2022.

Brother of Stevie and member of 

The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

Texas Blues Royalty.

I did mention I had a Fabulous Thunderbirds album

but I couldn't remeber it's name.

So I've had a look and it's - Girls Go Wild

from 1979 as mentioned in the comments

and - Hot Number from 1987.

I've also got the Tuff Enuff 12" 

I love that tune...mid 80's hit.

I Closed My Eyes And I Slipped Away...

A very interesting show here, the voice of Boston

Brad Delp had a Beatles tribute band,

Beatlejuice and here they are back in 1996 

doing their thing.

Seemingly Brad did this until his untimely 

death back in 2007.

Dialed My Numbers...

An excellent Radio Broadcast

from talented Canadian Rocker,Aldo Nova.

From St. Louis back in 1984 he had a bit of 

success back then.

Then at some point he disappeared to work and write

with other people.

Then I'm sure in the last few years he was out

Rockin' again.

Some Like It Some Like It...

Here's a share from BowlingRon's own recording.

Cheers Buddy!

A fairly recent concert by the fine Canadian 

Hard Rock band,

Coney Hatch.

I was into them for the 1st two albums

good to see them still out there occasionally playing.

Excellent audience recording.

And As We Drift Along...

A nice sounding Dio FM radio broadcast,  

from the  1987 Dream Evil tour.

An album that was seen as a step 

down at the time by some fans and critics,  

but now seen as a classic Dio album 

 as the tracks from the album prove here.

Got Something Going On...

Live at Hammersmith 1980 on the No Place to Run Tour. 

 Recorded the night after the official live version.

 A pretty decent sounding show and performance 

by the band and the London audience.

With Paul chapman now really showing his worth to the band.

 I got into Coney Hatch when I heard Devil's Deck

on the Friday Rock Show.I think,

it was a long time ago!  

I went and got their debut album.

Got the follow up - Outta Hand -  when that came out.

And...that was pretty much it for me and Coney Hatch.

A good Hard Rock band who never made the leap

to the big league.

So,back to '83 and a very good show from 

Quebec,Canada.

Supporting Iron Maiden.
