Some People Break The Rules...

Over to you,Ed.

Quite a new band really been around since 2009,

they play fast and furious street punk.

Bordering on Oi Oi punk which was quite

big back in the day but thankfully these days

violence does not follow it around like it used to.

It's fascinating watching the mosh pit at some of these gigs.

They really go for it and how the hell they don't

get seriously hurt is beyond me...

Great night was had.

Well I Can Rock With Anyone...

 

Our Buddy UFOSteve is back once again pulling something

from the U section! 

One more of my old bootleg cd rips.

2 Radio Broadcasts.

The first one from France February 7th 1983.

With Billy Sheehan on bass guitar.

Complete with the mad French disc jockey between tracks.

And then the second part has the Radio edit Broadcast

of the St. Louis show on 24th April 1982.

UFO - Mediafire

How Easy It Would Be,To Show Me How You Feel...

 A band that did have some good success,it's Extreme.

With the album Pornograffitti & the big

lighter waving ballad,More Than Words.

I dug that album especially the other single

Get The Funk Out.

Of course Gary went on to have an ill fated 

time in Van Halen.

Nuno had a cool gig playing guitar for Rihanna.

Back to the good times it's a radio broadcast from '89.

Reaching For The Stars,We Blind The Sky...

 After the Dehumanizer album with RJD.

Sabbath are back with Tony Martin on vocals

for the Cross Purposes album & tour.

A pretty good audience recording from L.A. 1994.

The last track Mob Rules/Computer God features

Dio from Boston 1992.

All in all pretty enjoyable.

Silver cd rip.

Like Ants In A Colony We Do Our Share...

Getting closer I can nearly make him out,yep

it's Eddie tellin' it like it is.

Just to show that it's not just the Brits that do Punk well,

I've always like this lot

with their short fast Yank Punk.

I stood at the back and watched the crowd

lap it up.Although when he mentioned the Jubilee

it didn't go down too well.

Not many Royalists in here tonight...great gig!!

But I'd Rather Be Back In Soho...

It's a support & headliner set.

Who's that coming over the hill?

It's Eddie coming to tell us all about this one.

Here he is Mr. Charlie Harper and the UK Subs.

A lot of people have said he is Mr. Punk.

Starting it all way back in 1976 and still going after all these years.

The bands love him the fans love him,total legend,

and at 125 years old still looking good.

When The Record's On The Deck...

 Three Irish brothers who went on a Hard Rock

journey back in the 80's.

They didn't do too badly back then.

For those who like straight ahead Rock

with a bit style.

Have Mercy...

 http://www.filefactory.com/file/224h0aiw7tss/ZZ87.zip

A couple of shows from ZZ Top for you to 

Boogie on down.

First up from the Live USA series

our Little ol' band are playing at 

Jo Hall,Osaka,Japan

19th Feb. 1987.

This is after all the success of the Eliminator record.

Which to be fair they tried to recreate a couple more times.

Next we're way back to 1980.

From Capitol Theatre,New Jersey.

This one is before all the MTV videos.

Great band!

Pretty Bubbles In The Air...

 Another vintage Punk Band from EDDIE.

Why doesn't he pull up a chair and tell us all about it.

They have been around for over 40 years and still

play their Oi Oi Punk with intense aggression.

Big football fans so they play a couple of terrace anthems 

from their beloved West Ham.

I can live with that but,they admit to being

long time Rockers and even play a 

Sweet cover.

Another great gig with a big crowd. 

https://www.filefactory.com/file/1xka7bfdjlwk/CR21.zip

I remember these guys made a Rock album

back in the 80's & it was produced by Pete Way.

Well,How Could You Have Waited So Long?...

Here's the first show of the reunited original KISS.

It was one of those let's get all the kinks ironed

out before the Tour starts.

And they needed it,pyro and sirens going off

at the wrong time etc.

Anyway KISS getting back together was big news. 

It was very successful until the old 

problems showed up once again.

https://www.filefactory.com/file/4ds53x78hna6/KISSWR96.zip

 

I've Been To Eastbourne Too...

 Well not only is EDDIE into Hard Rock/Metal

he's also into Punk!

Here's the first of his Punk recordings.

Take it away Buddy!!

I like Punk Rock,there I've said it now,I like the 

attitude & aggression that comes with it.

To be honest it's Heavy Rock with shite vocals

and I love it.Here we have one of my favourites,

Anti-Nowhere League.

I never got to see them back in the day but thankfully

they are still around and selling out shows.

A lot of the songs will be new to most people.

But,So What has been covered by Metallica

if you're offended by bad language then

don't bother...it's very rude.

Caught Up In A Game You Just Can't Win...

 Sorry to hear of the passing of original Bon Jovi

bass player,Alec John Such.

I always thought he was pretty cool.

Here's a King Biscuit recording of an early Jovi show.

Playing most of their first album.

I was all over their debut,thought it was great.

Anyway the boys are Rockin' pretty hard here.

You Ride To Where The Highway Ends...

 

Waysted live at a small Glasgow venue featuring some

new songs from the album at the time - The Harsh Reality.

And the usual stage favourites all done in

their organised chaotic way.

Waysted - Mediafire

Fast As Light Our Jets Were Burnin'...

 UFOSteve is back with more sounds!!

This one is listed as the definitive version.

A soundboard recording,is the sound better?

Maybe,I don't know.

But I do know it's definitely a great UFO bootleg.

Recorded live at the Starwood Club,West Hollywood in 1976.

Promoting the excellent No Heavy Petting album.

A very lively performance featuring some amazing

Schenker solos,classic Schenker era UFO.

UFO - Mediafire

You Have Been Charged!!

 01 - Kickin' The Evil Out

02 - Fed By Rock 'n' Roll

03 - Deceived

04 - Drunken Shame (Hello Mr. Hyde)

05 - Make It

Alright our old buddy from Australia,

Guitarist/Songwriter

Scotty Gregory has been back in touch. 

And he's offering us his band's new 

five track E.P.

They're called Charged.

If you like that old school Hard Rock

with a dirty guitar sound it should be right

up your street.

To me they sound more Angel City than AC/DC

If that floats your boat...grab it.

Get It Here!

All That You Need Is In Your Soul...

 More From ED...

Kris Barras Band - I've been following Mr. Barras 

since his Blues days and to be honest that's 

what I was expecting.BUT!...No! he has gone

full blown Rock and I love it.

A couple of times during the show he came forward

and let rip with some guitar work that reminded

me of Gary Moore during his 80's period.

Super fast yet so melodic,YES,that good.

His acoustic version of Skynyrd's Simple Man

is stunning.Soon to be seen at an arena near you,

without a doubt. 

https://www.filefactory.com/file/55w5eztx7wz0/KBB22.zip

Lonesome On The Trail...

 High Octane Rock 'n' Roll!

These guys seem to have been around forever but

this was my first time seeing them.

This was early in the tour which seen them

spend 3 months playing every club all around Europe,

now that is dedication.Total road monsters.

I had read they sometimes play Country sets

but thankfully this was not one of them.

Pure down 'n' dirty Rock just how it should be...

Love It!

https://www.filefactory.com/file/70ew9tnsrr10/Supersuckers100.zip

You Hear The Whispers...

 And we're back with another round of Eddie's recordings...Hit It!

Takida - Even an old git like me can walk out of a gig

just stunned at what I've just witnessed.

I had never heard of this Swedish band until

2 months ago yet they've been around for over 20 years.

Looking around the venue everybody knew 

all the lyrics to every song.

Talk about late to the party...

if you like your Rock in the Nickleback sound you

will love it.I cannot praise them enough,catchy songs

and a singer with a voice to die for...

best gig of the year so far!

https://www.filefactory.com/file/4cei9waz21ws/Takida22.zip

Hit It! We're No Overnight Sensation...

 Twisted Sister from back in 2001.

They got together again for the first time in 14 years

to play this NY Steel Benefit.

Along with Ace Frehley & Skid Row amongst others.

A suitably energetic performance.

https://www.filefactory.com/file/2o9yk9fqp8l4/TSNY.zip

It Don't Break My Heart...

 Back to the 80's and all female band Rock Goddess.

They didn't do badly back then.

Got on some good tours and released a couple of

albums.Then,they split.

Seems they got back together again a few years ago.

Releasing the album This Time in 2019

and playing live.
