Thanks! Another band new to me, though I was a rock fan back then. Lots of NWBHM goodness there, e.g. those pedalled 4th diads.

Thanks again, Dunsy. Obscure band, but tune sounds solid and infectious. I also like that worn SG. 😊

👍🏻👍🏻

You must have had a good record shop Dunsy. This band past me by as well. I blame "Our Price" Going to have check them out now..

Do all Swiss rock band names have to begin with the letter 'K'? Just saying.......😊

👍🏻👍🏻

Too funny! Goes to show that concepts like "scene police" and "gatekeeping" are not modern-day phenomena.

That really made me laugh today Dunsy, thanks Got to get me one of those Bernie Torme T-shirts as well, what a guitar player. And as you say, very sad about John Sykes another fantastic player....R.I.P

Never was a fan of "Stairway to Haven" or "Smoke on the Water" I get ANGRY but don't think I would have written to Kerrang about it. Kerrang filled a few hundred pages over the years with comments about these Top 100s . Also without Geoff Barton dedication to the Heavy Metal cause, I think we would never have seen such mainstream crossover in the eighties with out him and as some said recently so many of these bands on the cover from 45 years ago are still going in one form or other. Long Live HEAVY METAL rock and roll.🤘🤘🤘

That pedal is designed to help 90's kids/poors to get their lower output pickups, like all the danelectro guitars that came with lipstick singles as well as most if not all the other "starter" electrics pull off a higher gain sound at relatively low volumes with their 15-50w practice combo amp. And it was AWESOME for that, that's why I loved it.

Sounds spot on, Dunsy. Nice job.

Hi Dunsy, When you mentioned Slade I just remembered their pivotal set at the 1980 Reading Festival. We never knew, until the day, that they would be taking the slot that Blizzard of Ozz had pulled out of. Much to the anger of many who had come specifically to see Ozzy with his new band, the crowd was fairly sparse when Slade took the stage. After three songs straight off the crowd started to grow until it was packed. It was indeed a memorable set for Slade and for the crowd, it was a real party atmosphere and I particularly recall the antics of some of the crowd who had decided to climb to the top of the large marquees and slide down hoping the rest off the crowd would catch them as the flew of the bottom. Slade were on form and played a fantastic set, Noddys voice was awesome and the band were tight. It was one of those moments in time that happen because of other circumstances, yes, I would have liked to have seen Blizzard of Ozz but this was something special. I did get to see Blizzard a few months later which was great, Ozzy always had fantastic musicians , a bit like Alice Cooper in that regard. Anyway thanks Dunsy. P.S. On a side note, I believe Def Leppard, or their management, had asked to be moved up the bill into Blizzards slot which they did. Joe Elliott was quoted as saying how could we follow that, especially as half way through their set the crowd were still chanting for Slade. And on another side note, just to acknowledge the great man..... R.I.P John Sykes

Cheers Dunsy! Used to watch these at the Thornaby Cons (Conservative) working man's club back in the day. Used to get signed in by Charlie Mackenzie (who drummed for a couple of semi-famous bands) as we were not members (and also under age, just). Cheers again😊

Very unique chorus pedal. The SEP mode is almost like Vibrato but different. The REV mode is not reverse which I first thought it might be but sounds great. Very “subtle” (which might not be the best word) sound even maxed. Perfect for those who don’t like their chorus warbly or crazy sounding.

Kerrang magazine was not available in the small Canadian city where I lived in '82. Meatloaf in 1982 was a fading rockstar, yet Judas Priest was hitting the FM airwaves in this country with 'You've Got Another Coming'. I hope you do several episodes of you riffing on those wonderful guitars in the future.

Well done Sir

👍🏻👍🏻

In 1981, Chemical Alice's keyboardist, Mark Kelly, joined Marillion, where he remains to this day.

To this day I don't know what sparked my Interest in Motley Crue. I can't recall at all where I heard of them first I wasn't aware of Kerrang yet. I can only think a song must have featured on the Friday Rock Show. I got "To fast for Love" It's a killer album with some classic tunes "Take me to the top" "Too Fast for Love" and an album cover which is totally aligned to the contents, you knew exactly what you were going to get.

Nice! Another great cover!

Powerslave album.

👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for sharing another lesson. Never saw Heart back in the 80's when they had their massive hits. Was going to put that right last year but the tour was unfortunately cancelled. Hopefully Ann is doing well and will return.

great cover

Kaka ingin bahagia

Thanks Dunsy. Now I need to change my shirt due to my drooling on it over here. 😜 Great footage. Love the tones you've gotten on the songs.

Kid in a candy store........ Did you resist or did you have a G.A.S attack 😮

👍🏻👍🏻

Dunsy , At last ive been waiting for you to edit yours and Fred’s summer road trip 👌🍺 Some really nice guitars 👍Good sound track 👌🍺

Love that magazine l have nr 1 to nr 25 in mint 👍🤘

The new guitar sounds great!

What models the new Axe man ?

👍🏻👍🏻

Dunsy, I thought you might have to do a Tygers number as they have been in every issue of Kerrang that you've reviewed. Nice one 🐅 🐅

Awesome Brother, Hats off to ya! \m/ Superb

Got to think that this is slight exaggeration. There’s a thousand girls outside the locked door, - Dunsy you are the Rock 'N' Roll Man

Another viewer of this video mentioned Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider. It's was a song inspired by the shooting of John Lennon. Yes they are Canadian and from my home province and turned out to have an awesome library of tunes. Another fun fact in case you didn't know, the album mentioned in the article As Far As Siam. Siam is now known as Bangkok which is where I am currently, well kinda, I am in Thailand at the beach about 3 hours from Bangkok.

👍🏻👍🏻

Interesting to see how many of these bands are still on the go 40 years later. Can we same the same for the pop world. I don’t think so.

I love the first four or five Maiden albums more or less equally, but I think the debut has a certain mystique that gives it an edge over the others.

My favourite Maiden album is Killers, I've always preferred Paul to Bruce.

My favorite Iron Maiden album is Killers. Red Rider was known for the song "Lunatic Fringe."They featured Tom Cochrane who had a hit with "Life is a Highway."

For Iron Maiden I would have have to go with "Piece of Mind" this was the first time I saw them. The album I think is more melodic than "Powerslave" plus the songs don't have that ultimate annoying familiarity of "Number of The Beast". I sort of lost interest in Iron Maiden following "Powerslave" I'll see them for the third and last time this year, will be interesting to see what they play.

My favorite Iron Maiden album is Poweslave except when I change mind and it's Number of the Beast or Live After Death. It's always one if those three.

Well done it's so good to see someone cover a Ted Nugent song that are not the same old same old repeats everybody does over and over again including Ted himself. Don't get me wrong I'm huge Nuge fan so awesome to see an oldie but goodie being showcased and gettin some love.

👍🏻👍🏻

Certainly a legendary guitarist, as you say Dunsy. When I first heard Stranglehold, I started listening to Ted's records, as with most bands or artists that have made a lot of albums, some were not as good as others, but his guitar playing always impressed me. His typically mid eighties sounding album Little Miss Dangerous has some great riffs and Painkiller a particular favourite of mine. I think Ted had a period of using PRS guitars but always went back to his trusted Byrdland over the years. Thanks for covering this song by Ted.
