END OF THREAD!

...actually put heaven and hell in there?

interesting.

i must say the guitar solo on 'walk away' had me transfixed for years and i suppose still does. there is something deeply deeply compelling about it.

however as an album... its a bit... sort of ... meh! i still have to t-shirt from that tour! LOL!!

never say die really ought to be in there. the tinny production is mad! plus it has the title track AND johnny blade.

the Iron Man film? It may make you fall in love with the song again. If you were in love with it in the first place.

the most important band ever. I can't be arsed to defend that statement, but it is true.

strangely enough i've just read this in a Bill Stevenson interview

"But in semi-musical terms, I would say that my style relates to punk and pop-punk kinda like how Bill Ward's style relates to what became of metal. And what I mean is that Bill Ward plays little orchestrated phrases which are more, let's say, circular than linear. Whereas John Bonham, as much as he did rock and everything, he basically was keeping a beat. Bill Ward was playing these phrases. And so the pop-punk that we've all heard so much of and gotten so sick of - I mean it's linear-based so it's got more in common with, say, Poison or Motley Crue. And it's not circular-based, having something in common with Sabbath or with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. And so I think that my drumming - that I added a kind of "push me-pull you" to what otherwise was a strictly linear drumming style. Yeah, I guess that's really the only thing I can think of."

It's interesting, honest. Circular is the way to go. Like the OM drummer.
