An Announcement


Hi everybody.
Just to let you all know I'll be taking an extended break from 
HRC for a while.I've been doing this stuff for a long time
and at the moment I just don't have the time or inclination
to post regularly.
So thanks to everybody who's helped with sending in shows.
Talk amongst yourselves until I'm back,
hammer those links that still work.
Above all...Keep Rockin'...Later.

With Your Wooden Sword So Mighty...



Lead singer of Metal legends Iron Maiden
it's a show from Bruce (Bruce) Dickinson.
Still soundin' good it has to be said.
Can't say I'm a follower of Bruce's solo career.
But..! over here Planet Rock Radio has been playing the track,
Tears Of The Dragon regularly,what an epic tune that is.
Iron Maiden have just started the latest leg of their tour
in Europe once that's finished they'll be having
a well earned break.




 

And No Flame Returns...



Alright a Canadian Rock Band I've never heard of.
So can't really give you much info apart from the 
fact they're pretty popular.
Here you get two sides of their coin here,
acoustic and electric.




 

Remember The Good Old 1980's...

 


Another headline and support show from EDDIE
and here he is to tell you all about it.

Chez Kane & Crazy Lixx - WOW feckin' WOW,
for a wonderful 2 and half hours I was transported back to my favourite period of music the 80's...fist in the air anthems one after another in a packed academy2 with  heat levels i have not experienced since the old Marquee days. Chez Kane kicked it all of with her sublime melodic rock,
if she had been around back then with a song as good as Rocket On The Radio this gal would of been a mega star...what a voice..
only a 40 min set but I could of walked away from the gig happy as Larry BUT NO Crazy Lixx took it to another level these Swedes played the venue like it was a stadium and with songs where every chorus just stays in your head,I am sucker for any band who have twin lead guitarists..
these guys are amazing I just hope they can get up there to 
the next stage I am told they have a song the brilliant 'Silent Thunder' 
coming out in one of Tom Cruise's films 
so you never know they might still make it big....
24 hours later I still can't get rid of the smile on my face...what a night..

A one track mp3 from the 1975 USA Force It Tour.
A pretty good powerfully raw sounding performance.

Schenker's unique guitar style. 
Overall a really enjoyable eary UFO show.
