Thanks smoker I didn't know about Danny bowes I listen to his radio show on Planet Rock on Sunday mornings and he sounds okay and cheerful on the program so hopefully he's on the mend Great band thunder a bit like the Magnum story should have been more popular worldwide
Strongly disagree with you about Magnum. Their early material was good solid honest Hard Rock with a Pomp-Rock edge to distinguish them from the crowd, but their records post 1984-ish unashamedly chased U.S. radio with all the band's original character abandoned along the way. Awful pop-rock masquerading as something else & a disgrace to the well-respected name they'd built up prior to their complete sell-out. Music made to pay the mortgage, completely by-passing the heart.

DeleteThank you Nice Record Rocking Eddie
ReplyDeleteCould never understand the appeal of this band, they always struck me as a poor man's Bad Company, (who were themselves a poor man's Free).
