@@charger857 Not true. I did some research. Tony Martin was asked to join Blue Murder as their lead vocalist, but pulled out as the band was heading to Vancouver to record their debut album. John Sykes ultimately sang all the songs. Bob Rock and John Kalodner both preferred John's voice since he sang lead on all the song demos. But Tony Franklin was definitely on bass. Carmine Appice was on drums and stick spins, and John Sykes on lead guitar and lead vocals. Sorry dude. NOT Tony Martin. from Wikipedia's entry on Blue Murder: "With a drummer now in place, the band continued their search for a new lead singer. Former Black Sabbath vocalist Tony Martin was eventually chosen, but as the band were about to fly to Vancouver to begin recording their debut album in early 1988, Martin pulled out. The group decided to push forward, figuring they could always find a singer later."

the 80s had the best guitarists. combining melody, technique, speed but tons of feeling and a unique sound that made them all stand out individually. with just a few notes, you could easily identify the guitarists whether it was their tone, the way they bent their strings, their phrasing. and it's hard to replicate what they did. i mean, people don't write songs like this anymore.

Amen to that. I use to stay in my local record store. It was called The Record Corner. Vinyl, CDs were just coming out so they had the long box case, cassette tapes. I use to trick Columbia House and get 12 cassettes for a penny and would use everyone’s name I could think of to get more and more cassettes for free. I’m not proud of scamming them, but I was a young desperate teenager who was addicted to metal and broke. haha. I still have all of the cassettes. I have over 400. I parted with some back in the day, but now back to around 400+. I’ll never get rid of them, even though they’re warped from playing them so much and having to repair my tapes when the stereo ate them. I would rewind the loose tape by sticking a pencil in the hole and twisting it until it was back together and it worked! Ah, such memories. ❤️
