I go on a soundseeing tour of the Masturbate-a-thon. The Masturbate-a-thon is an event where people get pledges for how long they masturbate. I was invited by the nice people at the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco.

Masturbate-a-thon Tumblr
About The Masturbate-a-thon:
The Masturbate-a-Thon began as part of Good Vibrations’s National Masturbation Month. Started in 1995 after then-Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders was fired for saying that “masturbation… is perhaps something that should be taught” about in the context of sex education classes, NMM was intended to get people to talk about self-pleasure, which is so frequently a silent element in our sex lives. Every year Good Vibrations added something new to the mix: the Masturbation Hall of Fame, lists of favorite masturbation euphemisms and places to masturbate, and finally the Masturbate-a-Thon was born. In that context a private event (one person, or a couple, would get pledges from appropriate people) in which money was raised based on how long people spent masturbating (comparable to the way a Walk-a-Thon is based on distance). Good Vibrations disbursed 100% of the money to its NMM charities, which focused on sex education and sexual health.
A few years later, after CSC director — and also Good Vibrations Staff Sexologist — Dr. Carol Queen had been doing morning drive-time radio interviews with shock jocks who all wanted to come be judges at the Masturbate-a-Thon, and having to protest that it was not a group event, she and Robert (her life partner and co-founder of the Center for Sex & Culture) looked at each other and said, “WE could hold one.” The live Masturbate-a-Thon, while not administered by Good Vibes, has the originating organization’s blessing, and has been an annual event since 2000.

capture the image you wantThe olloclip is a quick-connect lens solution for the iPhone that includes fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses in one small, convenient package that easily fits in your pocket. Nestled in the palm of your hand, the olloclip connects to the iPhone within seconds so you’ll be sure to capture the image you want…if you don’t see the picture you’re looking for just flip it over to switch lenses.
http://www.olloclip.com/
precision ground glass multi-element opticsThe olloclip uses precision ground glass multi-element optics for the lenses. The barrels are made from aircraft grade aluminum using a CNC machine and then anodized. The iPhone attachment is made from a soft plastic material that ensures a secure fit every time to the iPhone. The olloclip uses very high quality components that are expensive to make but we think that our users will appreciate a quality product that gives excellent results and is a joy to use.
Macro lens is cleverly concealed within the olloclip and can be accessed by unscrewing the Wide-Angle lens that is normally attached to it.
The Fisheye lens captures approximately a 180 Degree field-of-view and produces some striking images.
Wide-Angle lensThe Wide-Angle lens is great for when you need that extra field of view, approximately double that of the normal iPhone.

INTRODUCING SONOS SUB:
SOUL-SHAKING SOUND. HEART-POUNDING DESIGN. ONE-BUTTON SETUP.
Fill any room with deep, clear HiFi bass
Wireless, one-button setup
Seamlessly integrates with the Sonos System
Place it anywhere in a room—even lying flat under a couch or bed
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – May 22, 2012 – Sonos, Inc., the leading manufacturer of wireless music systems, today introduced the Sonos SUB, a stunningly designed wireless subwoofer that takes the whole Sonos Wireless HiFi System one seismic step closer to the spine-curling, jaw-dropping, full body experience music was meant to be. SUB will be available beginning June 19th. For a preview video of SUB, visit the Sonos Blog.
“Like all of our products, our new SUB is designed from the inside out by Sonos,” says John MacFarlane, CEO, Sonos, Inc. “SUB has all the hallmarks of a great Sonos product: Clear, deep, all-digital sound, an incredibly simple setup, and beautiful design you’ll be proud to show off in your home.”
Whether you’re listening to Beethoven’s thunderous 5th or the pounding bass line of the latest four-on-the-floor obsession, the new SUB will fill any room with thick layers of bottomless sound that let you hear and feel the weight of every chord, kick, splash and roll.
Place it anywhere in a room, plug it into a power source, press a button and follow some simple prompts on your controller. The SUB wirelessly connects with your other Sonos components for an optimized, whole-room listening experience. Within minutes of taking it out of the box, you won’t just hear the difference SUB makes—you’ll feel it with every bone in your body.
Whether the unit is standing up or lying down, the SUB’s unique design and smart wireless signal allows you to place it anywhere you want in the room—even lying flat under a couch or bed—without any loss in sound or performance.
And just like every other Sonos component, you can control the SUB from your computer, smartphone or tablet. All you have to do is download the free Sonos Controller apps for Android, iPad, iPhone, Mac or PC.
The SUB works with all Sonos amplified components: CONNECT:AMP/ZonePlayer 120/ZonePlayer 100; PLAY:5; PLAY:3. It does not work with the non-amplified Sonos CONNECT/ZP90/ZP80.
The SUB launches in mid-June and will be available in a high-gloss black lacquer finish for $699 USD ($749 CAD, €699 EU, and £599 UK). A black matte finish will be available in October at $599 USD ($649 CAD, €599 EU, and £499 UK).
Features of the Sonos SUB include:
• Two force-cancelling speakers positioned face-to-face: All the sound and energy from the music comes through loud and clear, and none of it is lost in cabinet buzz or rattle.
• All digital sound: All filter settings, active equalization and time alignment are done digitally through state-of-the-art DSP (Digital Signal Processing) circuitry for zero-loss audio quality and energy.
• Dual acoustic ports: Tuned to maximize the acoustic volume of the SUB and enhance bass resonance.
Powering the SUB are two state of the art Class-D digital amplifiers that have been perfectly tuned to match the speakers and acoustic architecture. The cabinet is made from proprietary resin to create acoustically dead walls with maximum internal air volume. The SUB’s specific dimensions are 15.8 x 6.2 x 15in. (402 x 158 x 380mm) with a weight of 36.3 lbs (16kgs). Full SUB specifications, details and a video can be found at www.sonos.com/SUB.

Divinyls - Live: Jailhouse Rock was recorded in 1993 in Queensland's notorious Boggo Road prison This scorching live show, part of a triple bill with Rose Tattoo and Billy Thorpe and his Aztecs, sees Chrissie Amphlett and the band deliver blistering renditions of all the big hits from their five albums. Launching the show with the early hit "Boys in Town", the band play their biggest, and most controversial single, "I Touch Myself", before powering through Oz rock folklore on songs like "I'll Make You Happy", "Only Lonely" and "Pleasure and Pain".
Tracks include: Boys in Town, I'll Make You Happy, Only Lonely, Guillotine Day, Need a Lover, Open Windows, Love School, Lay Your Body Down, Science Fiction, Temperamental, Sex Will Keep Us Together, Make Out Alright, Bless My Soul, I Touch Myself, Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore, Pleasure and Pain

Michael Butler pulls a classic live Foghat from his vaults
THE BAND. . . PAST, PRESENT, AND INTO THE FUTUREWEBSITE FACEBOOK MYSPACE YOUTUBE BEBO
In
the late 1960's Roger Earl & Lonesome Dave Peverett first toured
America as members of the seminal British band "Savoy Brown". Together
with guitarist Kim Simmonds, "Savoy Brown" was on the cutting edge of
the emerging British blues-rock scene, and they influenced countless
musicians on both sides of the "pond". In 1971, wanting to give a more
Rock n Roll flavor to the blues-boogie music they were playing with
"Savoy", Dave & Roger enlisted lead/slide guitarist Rod Price &
bassist Tony Stevens, formed a new band, "Foghat", and the rest is part
of Rock and Roll history.
Signed by Albert Grossman to Bearsville
Records in 1971, the band recorded their first self-titled LP "Foghat"
and began touring relentlessly for the next 14 years. Their hard work
has thus far been rewarded with seven Gold records, one Platinum record
"Fool For The City" (1975), and one Double-Platinum record "Foghat Live"
(1977). The "Fool For The City" album contained Foghat's trademark Top
40 hit song "Slow Ride" and cemented their place as one of the world's
top rock acts. They continued to hit the charts in the 1970's with
singles such as "Fool For The City", "Drivin' Wheel", "I Just Wanna Make
Love To You", "I'll Be Standing By", "Stone Blue", "Third Time Lucky"
and "Somebody's Been Sleeping In My Bed", many of which are still
classic rock radio staples.
Foghat toured and recorded non-stop into
the mid-eighties. Tony Stevens had left the band in 1974 to pursue other
interests, and was replaced by bassist Craig MacGregor (with a short
stint with Nick Jameson in between). Rod Price departed the band in
1980. In 1985 Lonesome Dave returned to England for a well-deserved
break from touring, while Roger remained in the US and continued to
carry the Foghat flag with non-stop touring with various new musicians
and Foghat alumni. In 1989 Lonesome Dave resumed touring in the states
with future member Bryan Bassett. But it is 1994 that marks the return
of Foghat to the world stage, when the original members reunite for the
recording of "Return of the Boogie Men". Being back on the road,
non-stop, once again yielded a new live CD for the band titled "Road
Cases", released in 1997.
In 1998, Lonesome Dave is diagnosed with
cancer. He battles it with amazing strength and courage. He decides he
would like to tour again in 1999. With Rod Price's decision not to
resume touring, Dave calls his old friend Bryan Bassett, who is touring
with "Molly Hatchet" and asks him to join the band. Lonesome Dave, one
of the all time great rock n rollers, and a consummate professional,
performs flawlessly night after night, doing what he loved doing best,
while still undergoing chemotherapy. The tour was cut short in the fall
of 1999, when Dave returns home. He sadly passes away on February 7,
2000. Family and friends are devastated. One of rock n rolls legendary
performers is mourned by thousands of fans.
As all who knew and loved
Dave tried to adjust to this devastating loss, the band had to decide
what to do. To continue after this great loss was the question. Even
Dave's encouragement to keep the band together and to Keep on Rockin was
not enough to convince the band that they should go on. After much soul
searching and support from the fans, Roger began to hesitantly review
some tapes of singers. None of them seemed to have that blend of blues
and rock so important to the bands sound. Becoming quite discouraged
about the prospect of finding a new singer, Roger happened to recall
seeing a "Humble Pie" show with Dave, they wanted to see who was singing
their mate Stevie Marriott's songs. They were both pleasantly surprised
and impressed! The singer was former "Ted Nugent" and "Victory"
vocalist Charlie Huhn. Roger contacted Charlie and a rehearsal was set
up at SIR in New York. After just a few hours of jamming, the chemistry
was undeniable and all agreed that this was the person to join the band
and take it into the future. Charlie's vocal ability and guitar playing
fit the music perfectly and his high-energy stage presence provides what
is an essential ingredient to a "Foghat" show.
The new line-up
toured extensively doing what they love to do and do best,taking their
music to the fans. The camaraderie and fun was apparent in their live
performances and after two solid years of touring the band entered the
studio to write and record a new studio album called "Family Joules",
released in 2003 which again received great reviews. If anyone ever
dared to ask if Foghat were still relevant, surely the track "Mumbo
Jumbo"gave a resounding YES!
In 2004 they released a live DVD called
"The Official Bootleg DVD, Volume 1" and at the end of that year,
veteran Foghat bassist extraordinaire Craig Macgregor rejoined the
lineup launching Foghat's hard rocking tradition into the future.
"FOGHAT
LIVE II" , a double live CD was released in 2007. It was recorded in
2005 & 2007 to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the original
"Foghat LIVE", and the reviews were exceptional! This opened up a new
chapter for Foghat. The band was as good as ever and carrying on their
tradition of touring and having a great time.
While promoting "LIVE
II", the band was invited to record a live session for DJ Mark Klein's
weekly "Long Island Blues Warehouse Radio Show" which was recorded to 2
track. Surprisingly it ended up sounding so good that they ended up
releasing it as "Live at the Blues Warehouse" in 2009 and again this CD
got rave reviews!
The last few years has Foghat reaching a whole new
generation of fans largely as a result of their incessant touring and
also due to its songs appearing on such popular home video games as
Guitar Hero III, numerous movies such as "Dazed & Confused", "Wild
Hogs", "Bottle Shock" and "Halloween II", numerous TV shows and ads such
as Honda among others.
In 2008 Foghat launched their own brand of
wine called "FOGHAT CELLARS" in conjunction with well known winemaker
Steve Rasmussen. Their first offering was a 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
from Paso Robles which again got rave reviews! June 2010 announces the
release of their second offering, a delicious Chardonnay from Santa
Maria Valley. Wine & music, what a combination.
So the live
dates continue to pile up and the boogie continues. And to keep the
band relevant to both old and new fans alike, 2010 brings the inclusion
of a newer Foghat song "Mumbo Jumbo" in the new I-Phone application by
Universal called "Six String".
Their latest project, a blues CD
called "LAST TRAIN HOME" (release date June 15, 2010) is the
culmination of a dream shared by Roger Earl and Lonesome Dave. So with
LAST TRAIN HOME Foghat comes full circle, with an offering that mixes
some Foghat Blues stamped originals with many blues gems. This album is
guaranteed to become a classic.
Foghat has never stopped touring and
recording. The 2010 version of Foghat comprised of Roger Earl, Craig
MacGregor, Charlie Huhn, and Bryan Bassett has been together for 10
years since the passing of Lonesome Dave. They continue to tour
relentlessly because they just love to play and after every show they go
out to meet their fans. They still epitomize that classic blues-rock
slide guitar sound and that is what Foghat is all about. IT'S ABOUT
THE MUSIC!

Korg's nanoPAD is a compact pad controller featuring 12 highly responsive trigger pads, each one capable of sending up to eight notes--or eight MIDI control messages--simultaneously, in addition to an X-Y touchpad with roll and flam functions for realistic drum programming.
On this show I do a track by track review of the latest solo album from Robin Zander called Countryside Blvd. It is a country rock album that was due to come out in May of 2010 but is still not officially released.

Here are 2 great iPhone cases for the music lover on your shopping list!
Griffin + Third Man Records Case It's made from a real 7" vinyl record, pressed by United Record Pressing in Nashville, Tenn., then die cut to protect the back of your iPhone. A molded frame snaps around your iPhone, holding the interchangeable record insert in place and protecting the controls, edges and screen.
Rick Nielsen Signature Case for iPhone 4 Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, long known as THE authority on checkerboards and five-necked guitars, has found new territory to conquer: cases for iPhone and iPad.
It's protection without the bulk. These cases enfold your iPhone or iPad in a super-slim yet super-strong layer of polycarbonate, a substance known to be, like rock & roll itself, both high-impact and durable.
These official Signature Rick Nielsen Cases come with a pair of Official Rick Nielsen Signature Guitar Picks (bearing an equally Official Griffin Logo on the reverse). It's the most rock & roll you can wrap around your iPhone or iPad.
On this episode of the Rock and Roll Geek Holiday Buying Guide, Michael and Sam take a look at something for the musician on your shopping list. It's the Guitar Jack 2 from Sonoma Wire Works . The Guitar Jack 2 is a microphone and instrument interface for iPad, iPad2, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Plug it in, and your ready to record using your favorite audio app, such as Sonoma Wireworks's FourTrack. Guitar Jack 2 is small enough to fit into the pocket of your jeans and it lets you plug your guitar or other instrument directly into your iOS devices via the 1/4" input, or plig in any stereo mic or line device via the 1/8" line input jack. It offers 60dB of continuous level control. You can record in stereo or simultaneous voice and instrument in mono, and there's also a separate 1/8" stereo jack for your headphones. It's 16-nit for now, but will get a 24-bit firmware update soon. Guitar Jack 2 from Sonoma Wire Works
Fifty bucks will buy you a USB drive with crappy one-minute renditions of fifty different songs, along with shot glasses that you use to take a drink every time a new song plays.
Or, you can simply use the fifty bucks for a bottle of Jack and some AC/DC albums, and do the same thing but with better music.
That is all.
On this episode of the Rock and Roll Geek Holiday Gadget Buying Guide, Sam Levin and Michael Butler review several chargers and security fobs for mobile devices.

JBL OnBeat Xtreme Michael Butler and Sam Levin are back with more in the holiday buying guide series for 2011. This time, they're reviewing and demonstrating the JBL OnBeat Xtreme high-performance loudspeaker dock for iOS devices with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Here are some of the features at a glance.
• Docks with iPod, iPhone and iPad devices
• High-quality Bluetooth® wireless music streaming
• Dock your iPod, iPhone or iPad device in portrait or landscape orientation
• JBL® Ridge tweeters and Atlas woofers offer computer-optimized DSP equalization
• Hands-free calling with Bluetooth phones
So, what's the big deal with another docking speaker? As Sam points out, this is not just another docking speaker. It has video out and USB in the back, it has Apple Airplay built in and it uses an RF remote (not line of sight, so you can change volume from another corner of the room or even another room). But those are just the frills. What sets this speaker system apart is the HUGE sound - as Sam and Michael demo.
At $599.95 retail, Sam notes that the JBL OnBeat Xtreme is "not a cheap thrill, but it is a thrill."

Ted Nugent gives his thoughts on not being in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
About TED NUGENT
Ted Nugent has been known for cranking his Gibson Byrdland and performing like a madman since his days with the Amboy Dukes. In the thirty years since departing the ‘Dukes, he has established himself as a successful solo artist and has also been a part of a few supergroups, most notably Damn Yankees.
An avid hunter as well as a guitar legend, the Nuge’s restless spirit has driven him into many other ventures, including stints as a radio show host and a regular contributor for numerous publications.
In recent years Ted has become known as an author as well, penning a cook book, Kill It and Grill It, and the New York Times-bestsellers God, Guns, & Rock 'N' Roll and Ted, White, And Blue: The Nugent Manifesto. He also hosts his own hunting, fishing, trapping and shooting lifestyle show on Outdoor Channel – Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild.
On this show I play some of my favorite songs from Ted Nugent.
Also, a show review of Rush at Concord Pavillion and a review of Joan Jett at an indian casino.

BIO:
The Replacements were a punk rock band formed in 1979 in Minneapolis, Minnesota composed of Paul Westerberg (Vocals and Guitar), Bob Stinson (Guitar), Tom Stinson (Bass), and Chris Mars (Drums). The band were the forefathers of what became Alternative music, and were influenced by such bands as Big Star, Faces, The Beatles, as well as The Clash and The Jam. They became known for many great albums including: Let It Be and Tim. They also became known for their tendency to drink to excess, which had an effect on their live shows. Bob Stinson was fired from the band in 1986, and Chris Mars was fired in 1990. The band disbanded in 1991, with both Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson pursuing various projects (Westerberg with solo recordings, and Stinson more recently joining Guns-n-Roses).

BIO:
The Babys were a British rock/pop group best known for their songs "Isn't It Time" and "Everytime I Think of You".
The original lineup consisted of John Waite (Vocals, Bass), Tony Brock (Drums), Michael Corby (Keyboards, Guitars), and Wally Stocker (Guitar).
The band lineup changed in 1978, after the record label asked Corby to leave. Eventually Bass player Ricky Phillips and future Journey Keyboard player Jonathan Cain was added.
The band eventually split in 1980, with Cain going to Journey, and John Waite moving to a solo career. The other members became well known backing musicians.
in the late 80's, John Waite reunited with Cain and Phillips to form Bad English.

Nazareth was born in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1968 out of the ashes of a local group called The Shadettes. The band consisted of Dan McCafferty on vocals, Manny Charlton on guitar, Pete Agnew on bass, and Darell Sweet on drums. They took their name from the town of Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The band moved to London in 1970, and not long after released their eponymous debut. They grabbed attention with their second album, Exercises, which was released in 1972.
They released several albums in the next few years. They hit really big in 1975, when the title track from their album Hair of the Dog became a staple of rock radio. This was also the album that contained the song that they are most known for, a cover of a song originally recorded by The Everly Brothers, "Love Hurts." The song went on to become the band's only top ten hit in the US, also spending 60 weeks on the Norwegian charts.
The band was a big influence to many rock acts that followed, especially to Axl Rose of Guns-n-Roses. Guns-n-Roses covered "Hair of the Dog" on their 1993 covers album The Spaghetti Incident. This was after the band had actually turned down Axl's request to play at his wedding.
They've had several lineup changes over the years, with McCafferty and Agnew the only members that have been involved throughout the band's history. In 2008 they released a new album on the Hamburg, Germany based label Edel Entertainment called The Newz, which also coincided with the bands fortieth anniversary. They are currently working on a new album titled Big Dogz that is scheduled fr a spring 2011 release.

On this episode of the Hairbanger's Ball, Michael Butler brings you a new video from former Hanoi Rocks lead singer Michael Monroe: "'78."
BIO:
Michael Monroe is best know as the lead singer for the Finnish hard rock band Hanoi Rocks. After the latest incarnation of the band broke up in 2009, Monroe put together his own band called The Michael Monroe Band consisting of Michael Monroe (vocals), David “Ginger” Walls (guitar), Steve Conte (guitar), Sami Yaffa (bass) and Karl Rockfist (drums). They released their first album together Sensory Overdrive at the end of 2010.

We hope you enjoy Rock and Roll Geek Eastbay coupons and have fun shopping!!! About The leading world supplier of athletic footwear, apparel, sports equipment, and accessories. It was established to meet the performance needs of local high school and college athletes within Central Wisconsin and now is known by most worldwide. Originally viewed as a grassroots project, this venture grew into a worldwide direct mail catalog and internet sales conglomerate featuring top athletic brands such as adidas, ASICS®, Reebok, Converse, New Balance, Saucony and Nike. The company began in 1980 when boyhood pals and high school coaches Art Juedes and Rick Gering set out to find professional-quality shoes for their athletes and ended up in business for themselves.
With little more than $7,000 worth of running shoes and a dream, the pair took to the road and set up shoe clinics near their Wausau, WI hometown. At each stop they educated attendees with the benefits of their shoes and provided descriptive price lists. Today you can find all of your sporting needs from Shoes, Clothing, Sports Equipment, Accessories, Fan Gear from genres like Baseball, Basketball, Casual, Cheer, Football, Golf, Lacrosse, Running, Skate, Soccer, Swim, Tennis, Track & Field, Volleyball, Walking, Wrestling and more.
On this show I play a concert review of Ozzy in Dallas, TX. Also a review of Dilana in Houston, TX. I play a brand new song from Michael Monroe. An email review of the Alice Cooper Group reunion show in Phoenix, AZ, some beer fund donation song requests, your emails and I pay tribute to the late Don Kirshner.

On this show I give my top 5 rock albums of 2010. All in all it was a pretty weak year for rock albums in my opinion. There were a lot of releases but not too many got me that excited. I record the show after having quite a few beers so pardon the slurred speech. I also drink toasts to The RnR Armenian and Scott Lewis for their generous BEER FUND DONATIONS.

Rickshaw is a new San Francisco-based bag company. Inspired by the creative energy of our city, urban cycling and an intense desire to make great products, we started Rickshaw to satisfy our own personal passion for bags. We know how people love their bags. We think it's cool–if not kind of weird–the way people grow attached to their favorite bag as though it were a pet or loved–one.
We also love city living–the excitement, diversity, creativity and culture we experience in a fast-paced metropolitan environment. With access to art, theater, music and restaurants, there's an energy that pulses through the community. We design our bags for people who thrive on the urban experience and celebrate the creative spirit.
We're a new company, but we have many years of experience designing and manufacturing great bags and providing unique customer experiences. In addition to our passion for bags, we share a strong set of humanistic, environmental and social values that guide the way we conduct every aspect of our business. The name of our company derives from three Japanese characters meaning "human powered vehicle"–delightfully apropos for a company making bags for bicycle enthusiasts, and our metaphor for the strength of the human spirit.
We're excited to embark on our new entrepreneurial adventure, and we look forward to seeing people carrying our bags on the city streets soon.

PORTERHOUSE PUNKS UP THE HOLIDAYS WITH BEEFY VINYL REISSUES OF X, CIRCLE JERKS CLASSICS – MULTI-LP PACKAGES AT LEAN PRICES
L.A. Bands’ Classic Releases Now Available as Sizzling Combo Platters – the Perfectly Wild Gift for a “Wild in the Streets” Holiday Season; Re-Mastered Discs, Original Artwork Ensure Primo Sound, Vision
LOS ANGELES (October 4, 2010) — Porterhouse Prime Vinyl (a division of Porterhouse Records) is serving up a tempting holiday feast for fans of classic L.A. punk. The imprint will bundle its reissues of classic releases by two of punk’s most influential bands, X and the Circle Jerks, at super holiday prices. This one-of-a-kind sale, offered via the Porterhouse Records online store (http://porterhouserecords.com/store.html) and selected retailers, begins at midnight, October 31, and runs through midnight, December 31 – or until stock is sold out.
Three discs from X’s glorious creative peak – Wild Gift, Under the Big Black Sun and More Fun in the New World – re-mastered and pressed on thick, audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl with all their original artwork and lyric sheets scrupulously reproduced, will be sold as the Wild Black Fun Gift Pack for just $45 (plus shipping). Created by X fans for X fans, these 12-inch beauties are a thrilling immersion in the sonic punch, lyric bite and all-around electricity of this extraordinary band.
Rolling Stone dubbed Wild Gift “the finest American punk album ever” and included Under the Big Black Sun in its list of the top 500 albums of all time. And the politically charged More Fun in the New World sounds as blisteringly relevant as it did in Reagan era. These three landmark albums boast such essential cuts as “Beyond and Back,” “White Girl,” “Blue Spark,” “The Hungry Wolf,” “The Have Nots,” “Devil Doll” and “Hot House,” and showcase X’s uncanny ability to filter the history of American music through its own uncompromising prism.
“The great thing about these reissues is that they are perfect reproductions of the originals,” says X frontwoman Exene Cervenka who – along with her bandmates – oversaw the reissues. “No extra tracks. No updated, modern, ugly graphics. No editorializing. They are time capsules.”
Four kinetic discs from the brilliantly irreverent Circle Jerks, meanwhile – Group Sex (on hot pink vinyl and once deemed “the most wonderful, unexpected gem to arrive in some time” by Vicki Arkoff of the Los Angeles Times), Wild in the Streets, Golden Shower of Hits and Wonderful (“One of the best punk rock recordings of all time,” according to an Amazon.com review) – also get the deluxe Porterhouse treatment on these slabs of speaker-rattling bliss. All the discs have been re-mastered, and Golden Shower and Wonderful have been pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Available for the first time in two decades, these seminal releases have been gathered as the Ultimate Jerk-Off Gift Pack for the incredible price of $50 (plus shipping). They’ve been re-mastered for maximum moshability, and include their original lyrics sheets (so you can sing along with indelible tracks like “Wild in the Streets,” “Red Tape” and “When the Shit Hits the Fan”). These packed platters are guaranteed to keep your neighbors awake throughout the holidays.

Michael Butler showcases one of his favorite unsung heroes of ROCK, Jason & The Scorchers
http://www.jasonandthescorchers.com/
http://www.myspace.com/jasonandthescorchers
About Jason & The Scorchers
Jason & The Scorchers - Lifetime Achievement Award Winners For Performance
AMERICANA MUSIC ASSOCIATION
“One of the most vital kick-ass southern gentry groups to ever walk the planet:
Jason & The Scorchers are back.”
CLASSIC ROCK
“Though Gram Parsons and Uncle Tupelo have elicited more reverence as country rock avatars, Jason’s musical imprint remains more vital than either’s.”
NO DEPRESSION
“Someday, Jason & The Scorchers may play a mediocre set. But it won’t be in this lifetime.”
BILLBOARD
“They’re contenders for best band on the planet.”
AUSTIN CHRONICLE
“…the greatest rock showmen of the year.”
NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS
“The Scorchers are the real deal, the spontaneous combustion of country roots and rock & roll fervor.”
ROLLING STONE
“Like Ron Woods with the Faces, Hodges rolls and breathes through his driving rhythm parts, and digs into his solos like a man possessed.”
GUITAR PLAYER
“Touring has toned up the band’s showmanship and further revved up its music, making Jason & The Scorchers one of the great rock bands…”
NEW YORK TIMES
“Their Marquee Club show was one of the top 5 gigs of all time!”
MELODY MAKER
“There is nothing hokey about Jason & The Scorchers. Their roots are country, their raw sound is rock ‘n’ roll, and their songs a natural synthesis of both.”

Michael Butler showcases one of his favorite under appreciated bands. This time it's a band from the Detroit called The Rockets
Five studio albums produced several minor hits including a rocking rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well". Always a popular group in Detroit, and Michigan, The Rockets had gotten some attention outside of the state, but never really got the big break to become a true national act. The first album, Love Transfusion, was released in 1977. It failed to produce any hits. The 1979 self-titled release featured the hits, "Oh Well" and "Turn Up The Radio". This record also featured on bass, David Hood, one of the "Swampers" from the famous Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Alabama. Muscle Shoals was mentioned in Lynyrd Skynyrd's southern rock anthem "Sweet Home Alabama". Also, this Rockets album was dedicated to Skynyrd members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines, who all perished in Skynyrds infamous 1977 plane crash. The third attempt came in 1980 with "No Ballads", "Desire" was a popular tune from this album. Next came the "Back Talk" album in '81 and then finally "Rocket Roll" in 1982. "Rollin' By The Record Machine" from this release was the last hit for the band. The final release, "Live Rockets" was recorded on New Years Eve 1982 at the Royal Oak Music Theatre near Detroit.
The Rockets performed for their last two shows at Pine Knob (now known as DTE Energy Music Theatre) near Detroit on August 28th & 29th, 1983. The band splintered and the members all went their separate ways. Bandajek, McCarty and the rest went on to other projects. Gilbert played in a couple of short-lived local bands and ended up taking a job hanging drywall. His lifelong abuse of drugs and alcohol along with divorces, death and suicide had taken its toll. Former rock star David Gilbert was 49 when he died of cirrhosis in 2001. R.I.P. David.

Also 2 exclusive Dollyrots songs from the new record “A little Messed Up” on Blackheart Records. We interview Justin Bieber and discuss his sex tape […]
This show was inspired from a post on the Rock and Roll Geek forums from Owen:
On GCF recently Johnny Thunders version of 'Do you love me' was played and Michael said the song always puts a smile on his face.
I was just wondering what everybody's else's would pick?
In honor of that, I play some of my go-to songs for smiles and some from friends on the forums.Also on the show are show reviews from Cheap Trick Sgt. Pepper and REO Speedwagon/Pat Benatar, a few Getting To Know Butler segments and your emails.

Michael Butler makes Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons good olive oil
- 4 cloves crushed garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts and pull off any yellow outer leaves. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour them on a sheet pan and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt, and serve immediately.
A show review of RATT at Oakland Metro 8/3/10
FACEBOOK MYSPACE TWITTER
Ratt is back and better than ever. Original band members Stephen Pearcy, Warren DeMartini, and Bobby Blotzer have been re-joined by longtime member Robbie Crane and ex-Quiet Riot guitarist Carlos Cavazo and on April 20, 2010 will release Infestation, their first studio album in eleven years. Vocalist Stephen Pearcy says, “We wanted this to be like something that we would have written right after [1984’s] Out of the Cellar. We definitely went back to basics with the mindset of a band with a lot of excitement and some great songs to get out.” Right out of the box, Infestation ignites like gasoline to an open flame, bursting with an energy and attitude that Ratt is famous for.

Jasper and Butler interview Steve Jobs, demo the iPad 2, discuss Lindsay Lohan’s first day in jail, shirley Sherrod, Lou Piniella, the North Korea situation and the BP relief well.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus additional as needed
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 3 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
Directions
Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of salt and red pepper flakes. Heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute for about a minute, toss, and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate; set aside. Add the onion to the same skillet, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, wine, garlic, and oregano. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Return the shrimp and any accumulated juices to the tomato mixture; toss to coat, and cook for about a minute so the flavors meld together. Stir in the parsley and basil. Season with more salt, to taste, and serve.

Jasper and Butler discuss Dieting tips, the Aids Vaccine, iphone 5, The Robert Scoble Divorce Rumors, Windows 12 pre release the Oakland Race Riots , the Mel Gibson/Oksana sex tape, the George Steinbrenner death and the life of Harvey Pekar.
On this show I play a lost interview with Sylvain Sylvain of the New York Dolls. This interview was recorded over a year ago. I planned on not releasing this but since I'm too busy this week to do a show and a lot of people have asked about it, I'm now posting it. It is short due to the fact that Syl's publicist came in and cut us off so I barely got through the ass kissing portion of the interview before our time was up. I hope you like it, regardless.

Picture Porter 35 - Store, view, share, and manage digital photos anywhere you go
* Click on the Support tab to download firmware update and view release notes.
Firmware v1.2.1 released March 15, 2010.**
*Your Ultimate Digital Camera Companion With Picture Porter 35, you can instantly back up your precious pictures so you can keep snapping away. Simply insert the memory card from your digital camera into Picture Porter 35 and download images into its built-in hard drive. You can copy and archive photos directly from memory cards, without the need for lugging around a heavy laptop. With its large LCD display, you can clearly inspect the photos before deciding which are keepers and which to need to be re-shot. Picture Porter 35 works with all popular media card formats, including CF, MMC, SD/HC Card, MS, MS PRO, and xD-Picture Card*. You can also easily make yourself copies of photos taken from friend's and family member's digital cameras for instant archival of special picture moments.
The USB-Host function lets you connect USB devices like USB Flash Drives, flash memory based camcorders, hard drive based camcorders, and external hard drives to Picture Porter 35. You can connect an external hard drive to make a secondary backup of critical photos, or connect to the internal flash memory of your digital camcorder and copy your recordings to free up the internal memory for more videos.

The PhotoMemo feature lets you record specific notes or comments with your photos, and play the comments with each photo during photo playback. The Playlist feature lets you create unique photo slideshows that can be viewed on Picture Porter 35 or transferred to Digital Foci’s Image Moments digital photo frame for playback.

The PiiQ headphone line is one of the latest collections from Sony that focuses on great sound with a stylish design at an affordable price.
We tested out the Marqii headphones which, at $99, are the top of the PiiQ line. The Marqii headphones standout almost immediately. First off, they have a pink cord and pink padding on the headband. Second, you notice almost immediately how darn comfortable these things look. They are well padded and wrapped in a mesh cloth.
Some stand-out features include:
- A locking headband influenced by snowboard bindings.
-
Detachable cord. If your cord is cut, frayed, or the plug gets bent it is replaceable.
-
40mm dome drivers for powerful sound.
Check out the PiiQ headphone line at www.piiq.com.

This show was recorded at my friend Casey Crenshaw's house on my mobile setup. Apologies for the rough sound quality. Thanks to Matthew Hunt for the generous beer fund donation! Among the topics we discuss are: Laughlin River Run, Joe Klein, Iggy Pop and other things going on in our lives. We also play a show review of the Joe Perry Project in England from Phil the Paranoid Squirrel and read some hate mail. While doing the Match.com segment, Casey gets really wrapped up in the girls on that site and the show degenerates into a lot of discussion of girls.

On this show I interview Brijitte West. She used to be the singer/guitarist/songwiter/leader of New York Loose. They put out one of my favorite albums, The Year of The Rat in 1996 on Hollywood Records. They got dropped and Brijitte retired from music for a long time. She got married, started a family and led a normal life. But she is back now with a brand new album called Brijitte West and The Desperate Hopefuls and it is really good. In the interview we go through the entire musical history of Brijitte West, from the start to the present. She is totally open and honest and she names names. Do yourself a favor if you like good rock and great songs. Buy her new album. Rock n Roll needs people like Brijitte West.

We continue our series on Glam Metal. This week is a classic from ANGEL
OFFICIAL SITE
History Angel was discovered by KISS bass player Gene Simmons performing at a nightclub and was signed to Kiss’s record label Casablanca[1].
Angel's image of dressing in all white was a deliberate contrast to Kiss, which wore black. Angel sported an androgynous image and elaborate stage sets. It was slammed by rock critics, and Frank Zappa ridiculed the all-male band’s female appearance in the song “Punky’s Whips.” [2] Angel never achieved mass commercial success but acquired a following as a cult band.
Its first album was the self-titled Angel and consisted of guitarist Punky Meadows, bassist Mickie Jones, vocalist Frank Dimino, keyboardist Gregg Giuffria, and drummer Barry Brandt[3]. This lineup would hold for the following two albums, Helluva Band and On Earth as It Is in Heaven, after which Jones would be replaced by Felix Robinson.
It made an appearance in the film Foxes and Frank DiMino sang “Seduce Me Tonight” on the Flashdance soundtrack.
Although Angel never officially disbanded, members went on to other things following the release of their live album. Lead vocalist Frank Dimino joined UFO guitarist Paul Raymond in the Paul Raymond Project in which he sang lead vocals. Bassist Felix Robinson played on the debut album of the band White Lion, Fight to Survive. Angel’s keyboardist Gregg Giuffria had modest success as the leader of the band Giuffria during the 1980s as well as with the band House of Lords. The band (sans Giuffria) reunited in 2002 and released a new album The Power and the Myth on Frontiers Records. In 2006, Giuffira appeared as a guest keyboardist on World Upside Down. House of Lords released Come to My Kingdom in 2008 without Giuffria.
In the late ’90s, Angel reformed with a new line-up. Keyboardist Gordon G.G. Gebert joined the band in 1999 but left in 2002. Currently, the band members are Frank Dimino, vocals; Barry Brandt, drums; Randy Gregg, bass; Steve Blaze, guitars; and Michael T. Ross, keyboards[4]. The band’s 2000 release In the Beginning also features guest appearances by original guitarist Punky Meadows, as well as Robinson. In 2000 came the release of Angel: The Collection, making it the most extensive Angel greatest hits compilation that included 16 songs.
In 2006, Lilith released two singles albums which has singles released through the band’s career (1975-1981), and even though it has most singles released at that time it does not include “Better Days” which was taken off the White Hot album and replaced with “The Winter Song.” This song remains unreleased on CD or cassette format. It is however available as a 7" single but is very hard to find. Angel is now working on a new album, which so far has no name, but has three songs written for it. They are: “Worship the Sun”, “Hold On To Your Dreams”, and the third untitled song.
Bassist and founding member Mickie Jones died in San Dimas, California on 5 September 2009, after a long battle with liver cancer. Jones performed on four Angel albums (Angel, Helluva Band, On Earth As It Is In Heaven, and An Anthology). He toured extensively with the band in the United States for several years. Before Angel he played in the rock group BUX, which included guitarist Punky Meadows (Angel) and singer Ralph Morman (Joe Perry Project and Savoy Brown). BUX released one album on Capitol Records, We Came to Play in 1976. Both Jones and Meadows were asked to join the New York Dolls but declined. After leaving Angel he formed the LA band Empire and was the lead singer. Empire included drummer Steve Riley (LA Guns). Over the years he became interested in film production and would later work in the film industry.
Cheap Trick performing Sleep Forever and Heaven Tonight at South By Southwest 2010. Before Sleep Forever, Rick Nielson talked about Alex Chilton dying and said they were going to play a tribute to him. What followed were 2 fantastic songs: Sleep Forever and Heaven Tonight.
Please pardon the shaky camera and the part where Jasper and I are geeking out.

On this show I drink toasts to the generous beer fund donations from Keith Jacoby, Diggity Dawg, William Moffet and John Dissed. I also talk about having to say goodbye to a very special friend who broke my heart today. And some of the music on the show reflects my broken heart. I also do a trolling for chicks on Match.com segment (you can see this week's Match.com girl down below). I also read your emails and play show reviews from Kiss' only UK club date and a couple of AC/DC show reviews. All that and so much more crap I can't even mention it all.

This week on Hairbangers Ball we feature Motorhead and Girlschool - Headgirl
Headgirl was a collaboration between Motörhead and Girlschool in 1980, the result being the St. Valentine's Day Massacre EP, though the groups were credited as MotörheadGirlschool on the EP.
The collaboration between Motörhead and Girlschool started in March, 1979, when Motörhead began their first big tour with Overkill and Girlschool were their opening act. Lemmy had heard Girlschool's single "Take It All Away" and thought they were "fucking excellent" and liked the idea of girls being in a band. In his opinion, Kelly Johnson was as good as any guitarist he'd ever seen in his life and "wanted to stick it up these pompous bastard guitarists' asses". In late December 1980, Motörhead's drummer, Phil Taylor, broke his neck, preventing his continuing to play, so Motörhead's producer, Vic Maile, suggested they record a single with Girlschool. Lemmy chose "Please Don't Touch" by one of his favourite groups of the past, Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, for the flipside. The bands recorded each others' songs — Girlschool performed "Bomber" and Motörhead performed "Emergency", although Denise Dufort played drums throughout.[1][2] The record was released on February 14, 1981, as St. Valentine's Day Massacre EP and reaching #5 in the UK Singles Chart, it became the biggest hit either band ever had in the charts. On February 6 the bands had been filmed in concert for a Nottingham TV show called Rockstage and on February 19, billed as "Headgirl", they appeared on Top of the Pops playing "Please Don't Touch".[3] With Girlschool as special guests on the Motörhead 2005 'Inferno UK Tour', Lemmy joined the band at the end of their set at Brixton Academy on November 19th to play "Please Don't Touch" for the first time ever live.[4]
In 1981 a Japanese 12" single was released on the Bronze/Victor label, based around "Please Don't Touch" under the name Motorschool. Issued in a picture sleeve, it included "Bomber" played by Girlschool, "Emergency" and "Bomber" played by Motörhead, and "Emergency" and "Yeah Right" played by Girlschool. Lyrics to the songs were printed in English and Japanese.[5]
Bronze used the Headgirl collaboration again in 1981, this time for a 12" vinyl release in Holland called Hard Rock On 12 — the record plays "Please Don't Touch", "Stay Clean", "Metropolis" and "Demolition Boys" but listed entirely different tracks on the sleeve.[5]
Kelly Johnson, formerly of Girlschool and later guitarist with Headgirl, died on July 15th 2007, aged 49, following a six-year battle with cancer of the spine.

Week 3 of our series on The New Wave of British Heavy Metal
This week we have a classic from Def Leppard from 1979
from Wikipedia:
"Wasted" is a 1979 single by British hard rock band Def Leppard from their debut album On Through the Night. This was the band's first proper single, and the recording featured on the single is a different version from the On Through the Night LP. The B-Side on the single is "Hello America", which is also a different recording from the LP. These alternate, single-only versions of "Wasted" and "Hello America" have never been released on CD, except for on bootlegs. The record was produced by Nick Tauber, whom the band selected because of his previous clients, particularly Thin Lizzy. Two other songs, Rock Brigade and Glad I'm Alive, were recorded during the session but were shelved when the band's management were displeased with the production, thus resulting in Wasted and Hello America being released as a single. Tauber's versions of Rock Brigade and Glad I'm Alive remain unreleased.
When I heard that Doug Fieger passed away on Feb 14, 2010, I got really sad. I met him back in 2006 when I covered the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp for the show and he seemed like a really nice guy. Of all the people at that thing, he was my favorite. Most people wrote off The Knack as a one hit wonder or a novelty band or something like that. Go back and listen to that first Knack record and you will hear some of the best pop songs ever put to record. Like a lot of people do when a musician they like dies, I put on some of Doug's music and it was so good, I started seeking out some other stuff from The Knack. I am glad I did, because there are some great records out there.
My friend Joe Klein called me a few days ago and the subject of Doug Fieger came up and he reminded me that he produced Doug's old band The Sunset Bombers. I thought it might be fun to have Joe on the show and tell some Doug Fieger stories and we could listen to some tunes together.
What you get on tonite's show is just that. 2 guys paying tribute to one of rock's most under appreciated talents. We play a lot to songs, tell some great stories and listen to some stories from Doug Fieger himself, pulled from the RnR Geek archives. I hope this show turns you on to some of Doug's music and just how great of a guy he was.

Ingredients * 12 ounces wide egg noodles * 1 Tbsp salt * 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms * 1 medium onion, chopped * 2 Tbsp butter * 2 cups chopped broccoli (about 1/2 lb) * 2 (6-ounce) cans tuna, drained * 1 (10 3/4 oz)can cream of mushroom soup * 1 lb grated cheddar cheese * 1/3 cup milk * 1 Tbsp cream * Salt and pepper to taste * 1 cup crushed saltine crackers
Instructions 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large (6 qt) pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add a tablespoon of salt. Return to a boil. Add noodles. Cook uncovered on high heat on a rolling boil. Just before pasta is al dente, (firm but cooked through, earliest cooking time minus 2 minutes), add the chopped broccoli to the pasta and cook for 2 more minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.
2 While the pasta is cooking, dry sauté the mushrooms in a frying pan on medium high heat (no need to add butter or oil, mushrooms will cook in their own juice). When mushrooms have given up their moisture (about 10 minutes), remove from heat and set aside.
3 After the pasta is done and is draining in a colander, heat a large oven-proof pan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the onions and cook them until translucent. Add the pasta and broccoli mixture back into the pot; stir in the mushrooms. Stir in the tuna, can of cream of mushroom soup, grated cheese, milk and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4 Spread crushed saltines over the top of the mixture and cook for 20 minutes at 400°F in the oven, until the topping has browned.

DIAMOND HEAD WEBSITE
DIAMOND HEAD MYSPACE
| Biography from All Music Guide | by Eduardo Rivadavia |
| Diamond
Head's history is certainly among the most peculiar in all of rock. One
of the most remarkable talents to arise out of the New Wave of British
Heavy Metal, the band's career never fulfilled its early promise, yet
their legacy still ranks among the most influential of the genre.
Sounds metal editor Geoff Barton (the man who coined the phrase
N.W.O.B.H.M. in the first place) once remarked that "there are more
good riffs in your average single Diamond Head song than there are in
the first four Black Sabbath albums"; and Iron Maiden leader Steve Harris weighed in that Diamond Head "looked like they were going to be the next Led Zeppelin
for a while." Such lavish praise had been sparked by the band's
unassuming, independently recorded first album, which by all rights
should have been just the first step on the road to a legendary career.
But this was not to be...here's the story why.
Diamond Head formed in Stourbridge, England, in 1976 by schoolmates Brian Tatler (guitar) and Duncan Scott (drums). They soon recruited Sean Harris (vocals) and a few months later, Colin Kimberley
(bass) joined their ranks. Barely out of school and vehemently opposed
to joining the cover band pub circuit, the fledgling young band also
had the heyday of punk rock to contend with and were forced to develop
their sound in relative seclusion through endless rehearsal and
songwriting sessions. Still unable to attract any record company
attention three years later, despite occasional gigs in and around the
English Midlands, the group decided to take matters into their own
hands, issuing a couple of self-financed singles, "Shoot out the
Lights" and "Sweet and Innocent." These were soon followed by a
self-produced full-length album, which they recorded between February
and April 1980 and made available via mail order through their own
Happy Face Records. By naïve inexperience or artful design, the LP was
packaged in a conspicuously anonymous white sleeve, lacking so much as
song titles, and sent to members of the British music press. As it
turned out, a copy of the nameless LP (later commonly referred to as
the "White Album" or "Lightning to the Nations", after its first song)
soon found its way into the hands of Sounds metal editor Barton, who
was so floored by its contents he quickly proceeded to interview the
band for the respected music weekly. Soon being heralded by most
everyone in-the-know as an undeniable masterpiece, the album quickly
passed into legend as one of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal's most
seminal documents. Indeed, between Tatler's towering power chords and Harris' delicate yet muscular voice, Diamond Head had stumbled upon the perfect synthesis of un-godly, Sabbath-sized riffing and Zeppelin's epic musicality.
If only the rest of the story was as remarkable. Encouraged by such a
euphoric response, Diamond Head quickly signed with MCA, issued the Four Cuts
EP, then set out on a relentless touring schedule that included a
legendary appearance at the 1982 Reading Festival. But the dream began
to shatter as soon as they entered the studio to begin recording a
follow-up album. MCA's and producer Mike Hedges' excessive tampering and the band's inability to just say "no" transformed Borrowed Time into a disappointing, vague reminder of their glorious first album (the fact that Sean Harris'
mum acted as their manager didn't help matters any). For their part, as
brilliant as they were at composing complex heavy metal anthems, Tatler and Harris
proved incapable (or subconsciously unwilling) to pen radio-friendly
singles. Re-recorded versions of first album standouts "Am I Evil?" and
"Lightning to the Nations" also paled in comparison to the genuine
article, and though it entered the British charts at a very respectable
number 24, Borrowed Time
quickly fulfilled the prophecy in its title and tumbled from sight. As
initial expectations gave way to disappointment and pressure began to
mount, the band started work on their third album. But they would
splinter in half during the sessions for 1983's erratic Canterbury, with the rhythm section of Kimberley and Scott
both fired and/or quitting. Another commercial failure, the LP's
chances were further curtailed by a pressing error that resulted in
20,000 faulty copies. A slot in that year's massive Castle Donington
Monsters of Rock Festival couldn't staunch the bleeding, and a frazzled
Tatler (by now standing on the brink of a nervous breakdown) finally pulled the plug. Diamond Head effectively ceased to exist.
Here's where things get interesting, however, for among the band's early worshipers was a young Danish drummer named Lars Ulrich,
who had been so deeply affected by Diamond Head's early material that
he proceeded to pattern his own brand new group (future metal gods Metallica) on their idiosyncratic style. Not only did Metallica
base the bulk of their early live set on Diamond Head's songs, they
also covered the first album's "Am I Evil?" for the B-side to their
"Creeping Death" single in 1984, and later repeated the gesture with
"Helpless" in 1987. This unexpected exposure began to slowly resurrect
Diamond Head's music among fans, and when Tatler and Ulrich finished compiling a greatest-hits disc, released later that year as Behold the Beginning, unsuspecting American audiences were also, finally given their first glimpse of Diamond Head. But, Tatler remained wary of attempting a complete comeback and it wasn't until 1993 that he again teamed up with Harris, bassist Pete Vuckovic, and drummer Karl Wilcox for a set of club dates under the name Dead Reckoning. The full-fledged reunion was made official by a new album, entitled Death & Progress (featuring guest performances and songwriting contributions from Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine),
which nevertheless failed to ignite serious interest in the band.
Following a number of high-profile concert appearances in the U.K. that
summer, Diamond Head once again disbanded, but not before releasing the
Evil Live album, recorded at their Milton Keyes performance where they supported Metallica, ironically enough.
A slew of unsatisfactory greatest-hits sets has been released in the
years since, but it wasn't until 2001 that fans were finally treated to
a fully restored re-issue of Diamond Head's legendary debut by
Sanctuary/Castle. Their desire to promote the long-lost classic led to
another reunion, which included Diamond Head's first-ever performance
on U.S. soil at the New Jersey Metal Fest on April 5, 2002. |

24 Days To Fall
On Saturday Feb 6, 2010 , I interviewed Anvil at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. They've been touring pretty much non-stop since the documentary "The Story of Anvil" came out. I brought along Eddie Daroza, who ran the camera for me.
Thanks to super producer Shane Chisholm and Julie Ark for lining up the interview for me.
About Anvil:
Bio
If you were to look up the word “perseverance” in the almighty handbook of heavy metal, there may very well be a photo of Canadian metalists, Anvil. Since their 1981 debut, Hard N’ Heavy, the group – which was co-founded by singer/guitarist Steve “Lips” Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner – has been listed by many as one of the creators of the thrash/speed metal genre (especially on such Chris Tsangarides-produced classics as 1982’s Metal on Metal and 1983’s Forged in Fire). But due to subsequent bad record deals, bad management, and just plain bad luck, Anvil appeared to take a back seat to a new wave of metal bands – most of which listed the group as a prime influence. However, Anvil has never stopped rocking, and with the arrival of the critically-acclaimed/surprise hit film, “Anvil! The Story of Anvil” (directed by Sacha Gervasi), the group is back where they belong – at the forefront of heavy metal.
“It’s quite amazing, really,” admits Lips. “It’s the prime example of what it means to be a rock n’ roller, go out there, and try to make it. And believe me, most of the scene is guys like me. It’s very seldom and rare that anybody makes it – to what people mean by ‘making it’.” Reiner seconds the sentiment – “The movie has gone beyond my expectations. It’s been mind-blowing – to see what’s come from the movie and how much it actually has helped the band.” When asked what their favorite scene was, both agree on the unveiling of a certain painting of Reiner’s (that resides down a stairway in his home – you’ll have to see the movie for more info!). As far as a scene from the film that is hard to watch, Reiner says, “There’s nothing hard looking back at it,” while Lips feels differently: “My least favorite part is when they show me naked!”
And although there are certainly some zany Spinal Tap-like parallels between Anvil and David St. Hubbins and company, Anvil has always been taken seriously by metalheads, including some very well known ones, who praise the band in the film. “Anvil was one of those bands that just put on this really amazing live performance,” said Velvet Revolver/ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, while Motorhead singer/bassist Lemmy added, “They were a great band – I always liked Anvil,” and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich gushed, “These guys were going to turn the music world upside down.”
Having issued a total of seventeen releases between 1981 and 2004, the group, that also includes bassist Glenn Five, reconnected with Tsangarides (Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest) for their thirteenth studio album, eighteenth release overall, This is Thirteen. The turbulent-yet-triumphant sessions were well-documented in the “Anvil!” film. “It differs in one vast sense – the production,” explains Reiner. “‘This is Thirteen’ was produced by Chris Tsangarides, who produced ‘Metal on Metal’ and ‘Forged in Fire’ – probably the most famous, classic Anvil albums. With Chris, we created that classic Anvil magic sound – that previous records were lacking. The last four or five albums, material-wise, were all similar. We had been trying to find the direction back to the classic Anvil style and sound – it’s just the production hadn’t been up to scratch. Chris was a big missing part on our past albums.”
As evidenced by such vintage Anvil-sounding ragers as “Feed the Greed,” “American Refugee,” and the title track, This is Thirteen is certainly the strongest Anvil release in a long time. Originally put out by the band themselves and sold through their website, the album is now seeing proper national distribution via CD (with “Thumb Hang” added as a bonus track) as well as a double gate-fold vinyl version (including two additional bonus tracks) through VH1 Classic Records. Additionally, due to the film’s success, Anvil received an invite from AC/DC to open mammoth football stadium shows for the legendary Aussie rockers on their “Black Ice” tour, while a book about the group’s career (which shares the same name as the movie) appeared as well. Add to it a DVD release of the movie in Fall 2009, and a new studio album that is already written and just needs to be recorded (titled Juggernaut of Justice), and it certainly appears as though Anvil is making the most out of their “second life.” And as Lips adds, the group’s rapid-fire workpace will not slow down, despite all the newfound success. “Working. More recording. More gigs. More – more than ever!”

Iron Maiden's cover of the Skyhooks' song "Women in Uniform" was the third single by the band, and their last recorded work to feature guitarist Dennis Stratton. It was released on October 17, 1980 and is not featured on any of the band's albums. "Women in Uniform" would also be the basis of the band's first music-video, directed by Doug Smith and filmed at the Rainbow (London).
"Women in Uniform" was included on an 11-track pressing of the Killers album as track number 8. This was available at some point in the United Kingdom and Australia. The United States 11-track pressing had the single "Twilight Zone" instead. Most copies of the album have neither song.
"Women in Uniform" was the band's first-ever promotional video, which also introduced Eddie in a physical form. According to an interview found on The Early Days DVD, in the scene where Eddie gets up on the hospital bed, the man wearing the mask suffered a cut on his forehead after hitting the camera face-first.
The single cover features an image of Margaret Thatcher with a Sterling submachine gun, preparing to attack Eddie. This was a joke done in response to the infamous Sanctuary cover, that featured Eddie killing Thatcher.
The B-Side of the single, Invasion, is a re-recorded version of a song that originally appeared on The Soundhouse Tapes.

We are back with another episode of The Hairbanger's Ball. This week Michael concludes the Australian theme with a live performance from The Skyhooks.
BIO: (from skyhooks-music.com)
In the mid Seventies Skyhooks basically gave the Australian Music Industry the enema it had been needing. For too long many Australian bands spent hours copying their UK/USA cousins,Australian content in songs was far and few,and the biggest local selling album was by Daddy Cool which had sold an unheard of 50,000 lps.
Bongo Skyhooks were cheeky,brash,colourful,wore makeup (many years before Kiss were conceived),songwriter Greg Macainsh with a grab bag of amazing tunes-many sprinkled with Melbourne place names and Australian themes,put together the band that would change the musical history of our country. It lit the fuse that put Australian bands back on the front covers of newspapers and Australian music on the shelves of record shops.
Their debut album "Living in the Seventies" went on to sell 300,000 albums (the equivalent of Twenty Gold awards) lodging itself firmly at the number one spot on the Australian charts for many months.
They appeared on Australian tv on the first day of colour transmission,shocked the parents and became pin up heroes for a generation. Their lead singer was called Shirley because of HIS curly locks,guitarist Red Symons in Red satin and matching cape,flicking his Tongue at the masses while a giant Phallic Twistie Mushroom explodes over the crowds during his anthem to masturbation ("Smut"). Guitarist Bob Starkie-graduated from the Keith Richards/Chuck Berry School of Rock (with honours) his long black curls hanging over his lizard- necked jumpsuit. Bassist and Songwriter, Greg Macainsh-platinum silver hair,long drop earrings hanging from BOTH ears,wearing a yellow suit (matching cowboy hat) biting the thick bass strings on his sexist nude bass.....and who was it that said that all drummers were the same. Fred Strauks,plugs in his space suit,the stage lights drop and he flickers on and off during his drum solo. If it were any other bands the theatrics would overshadow the music. Skyhooks (thankfully) were not just another band.
Fred Their second album "EGO is not a dirty word" debuted at number one,while their single of the same name was sitting opposite at #1 on the singles charts. The LP went on to sell over 200,00 copies and their "EGO" tour sold out completely. Despite Australia being the equivalent size of the United States the population is much smaller (the total population of Oz being the same as New York)...the band needed new challenges and did what few other Aussie groups had done..they headed to America. The Mercury/Phonogram label signed them and many months of 1976 were spent Stateside trying to crack the American market that just could not relate. There were some hotspots,in Jacksonville (Florida),the band were support for Uriah Heep and received the same hysteria that greeted them at home.
Whilst in America they hit the studios and recorded their third album Straight in a gay gay World. The album went multi platinum in Australia and one single, the country sounding "Blue Jeans" was a huge hit across the Tasman in New Zealand.
The band returned home for their Brats are Back Tour,a Melbourne radio station made mention of the bands arrival time and hundreds of Skyhook fans decended upon Melbourne airport. The fans forced their way into the press conference,and you could tell the boys were home,the afternoon front page headlines read "Hooks Home to a Riot".
"The Brats are back" tour showed a tougher Skyhooks, Shirl wearing leather pants (very Jim Morrison),songs like "This is my City" having more of a guitar edge. Bongo Starkie played exceptionally well,& the fans loyalty never wavered. But for Red it was time to get off the bus.....his ride (for the time being) with Skyhooks had ended. A young hot shot guitarist called Bob Spencer joined the ranks and the band hit the studios in Sydney and Melbourne. The first single featuring the new lineup- "Party to end all Partys" made the top 20,but it was the next single- the hard rocking "Women in Uniform" that was the hit. Top 10 and it wasn't only Australian ears that heard it's worth. Heavy Metal giants Iron Maiden gave it the thumbs up and decided to record a version themselves. Meanwhile back in OZ...the 4th album "Guilty Until Proven Insane" made the top 10 and sold well. United Artists released it in Europe.The 'Hooks took this tougher sounding Skyhooks back to their roots, the Australian Pub circuit,while other seventies bands were playing to half full halls, the Hooks took the low road and packed out venues like the Bondi Lifesaver and Wollongong Leagues Club receiving up to 4 encores each night. They finished the tour at Melbourne's Palais Theatre,for the Nightmoves TV show-broadcast several weeks later. Little did we know ,that night was lead singer Shirls last harrah. Exhaustion had set in, he was asked for autographs at every turn, normality wasn't a word in his life anymore. The simple days of surfing and being a carpenter seemed more appealing each hour. By Xmas'78 he had hung up his 'Hook.
Skyhooks could of easily disbanded then and their. Greg Macainsh felt there was life in the band yet and took Shirls departure as a challenge. He wouldn't even try to fill Shirls shoes,no one could. Several ideas were thrown about,a female lead singer (remember this IS the man who proudly wore a Suzi Quatro fan club tshirt).....poaching Peter Garrett fro Midnight Oil....in the end he looked towards Melbourne's Dandenong Hills and called up Tony Williams,a friend who had sang with Reuben Tice-Gregs old band. For Tony it was the ultimate Xmas present. The first single from the new Skyhook lineup was "Over the Border" (issued on beautiful neon blue vinyl). It was a song about escapeing from Qld which was at the time the "police state"...the Qld governemnt was a hot bed of corruption,and public protests marches were a no-no. It made the top ten in Qld and faired well nationally. Things looked good. Sadly around the same time "The Best of Skyhooks" was issued,and the tv adverts featured Shirley heavily,it was a case of one step forward 2 back. From a fans point of view this version of Skyhooks was more accessable and the band members made many life long friends. Skyhook fans are a loyal bunch and if nothing else this was a "weeding process" and the infamous Melbourne/Sydney Hookscrew came to be. Convoys of fans going from gig to gig became the norm,and live they were cutting it. There were 2 problems; 1/ a serious lack of radio airplay 2/ the band were finding it hard to cross over into the minds of the general public, Shirley was (and still is) such a huge part of the Skyhook puzzle. Several non charting singles later and one album ("Hot for the Orient") and Skyhooks played their last show at Kalgoorlie-June 8th 1980. Strangely enough no official announcement was made and Australias premier Music Show (Countdown) which had started at the same time as the band ,had received so many requests to have the band on the show that they ended up hosting it. Countdown Guru- Molly Meldrum, had canned the bands album the week before and yielded to pressure from all the mail to have them host the show. It was a chance for the band to have the last laugh, Molly had the chance to announce that one of Australias most loved bands was about to split.....but the band kept tight lipped,all the Hookscrew in the studio audience new.....but no one told Countdown. Imagine Mollys suprise when he picked up the following days paper to see front page headlines that Skyhooks were no more. It should be stressed that prior to "Hot for the Orient" Molly had nearly always championed the band and was one of their biggest fans.
That could be the end of this tale....but Skyhooks are one of the few bands who have consistent sales and airplay....the public wern't ready to let them go just yet. In December of 1982 only 2 1/2 years after the split Mushroom Records tested the water with a medley of the bands hits titled Hooked on Hooks. Radio gobbled it up and it made the top 20, top ten in hometown Melbourne. The Skyhook box set followed....and sold out.
In April 1983 the band assembled for a press conference,announcing it would play a Festival in Noosa. Midnight Oil were on the bill and acknowledged the Skyhooks legacy by saying the 'Hooks were the only Australian band they would let top the bill above them. The band were back in the news,radio was beseiged with people wanting shows elsewhere....suddenly a full scale reunion tour was underway. It was a triumph. More and more shows were added,whole shows selling out in less then an hour.The final show was in Perth on May 7th. Two of the Melbourne shows were recorded (and partially filmed) and the Live in the 80s album was released. It went gold.The live footage was used on the "Right there on my TV" Compilation Video.
In October 1984 the band played a one off Melbourne show as part of the tenth anniversary for "Living in the 70s" and to celebrate Rocktober. 25,000 punters turned up. A special Gold Vinyl Commemorative issue of "Living in the 70s" was issued by Mushroom...it too received a gold award.
In 1988 Greg Macainsh was working on some song ideas,two words came into his head -"Jukebox" and "Siberia". The song became "Jukebox in Siberia",it's a look at a Russia under the rule of Gorbacev,the era of Glasnost and Perestroika. "Jukebox in Siberia" was released in October 1st 1990. After several weeks and limited airplay Skyhooks had the number one single. Their third (Horror Movie and Ego being the other two). It was the only Australian single to reach #1 in 1990. Suddenly a whole new audience had discovered the band......and they had some catching up to do. Mushroom (always happy to help)offered them a new "Best Of" titled Latest and Greatest. It too went top ten and hit the double platinum mark. The band geared up for a 3 month tour of the Australian pub and club circuit. Every show sold out,the tour making 1.5 million profit...they were there to entertain,it wasn't a history lesson,they kicked butt. The only sad note was a second single "Tall Timber" which many feel is a stronger song then "Jukebox"..it only climbed as high as #66. No clip or radio play....but people were buying the Best Of by the bucketful so many of them had the song on the new CD.
Jump forward to Feb 1993,Greg is inducting Ross Wilson (Ex Daddy Cool)into the Hall of Fame ,they are reminising about days gone by. Shirl is in the audience and that light globe above his head goes on.Both bands have similar historys,both were the #1 band at the time, both slogged it out in America,christ Ross Wilson even signed up Gregs publishing and produced those first 3 huge Skyhook albums. A single,album and tour with Daddy Cool,a huge,huge project,but could it be done.
It's now 1994 and Skyhooks are in the studios recording 3 new tracks, one of them is "Happy Hippy Hut". Daddy Cool record the "Ballad of OZ". It's a double cd single and for 3 weeks it sits at #33 on the national chart,it doesn't drop, it doesn't rise,it seems to be like a stuck record and we can't nudge it. Not the fans,not radio airplay (because they ignore it) and not sales. The "Joint Effort" Tour is in jeopardy and the promoters get cold feet and suggest the pub tour again. Both bands are disillusioned,they've just spent weeks in the studio laying down 8 songs. One of them "Kooyong Dollar" is a sure fire winner. Someone pulls the plug....the double joint effort album is off,the tour is blown out and "Hippy Hut" loses it's grip on the charts.
Two projects come to fruitation in the midst of this mayhem,one was a new 'Hooks book "Ego is not a Dirty Word",the other is the "Ego is not a Dirty Word" exhibit at Melbourne's Performing Arts Museum. 12,000 people visit the Museum over a three month period. The history of the band -warts (and other genitalia) and all is stripped bare for the public to see. From tour posters,to stage - costumes,the huge neon sign is resurrected,the one remaining finger from the EGO papermache stage prop,the exploding Skyhook Penis(which busloads of Japanese tourists seemed to be amazed by),Bongo and Fred volunteer to do the voice over on the slide show of snaps from the USA '76 tour. Every day the Museum staff would be asked the same question,when are they going to tour. As the months went by,it was obvious,nothing would bring home the bacon this time.
It's now June 1997. Mushroom Records are heading towards their 25th anniversary and the band that stopped Mushroom from going under "way back then" should some how be part of it. After the failure of "Joint Effort" the feeling between band record company and touring company is not one of joy. Thankfully time lets all of us get over the finger pointing and now is as good a time as any to get on with our lives. We encourage Mushroom with the idea of reissuing the Latest & Greatest with the 10 new tracks on a seperate cd. At first the interest was lukewarm....but as days turned into weeks, the feeling is that yes,now this could be a possibility. Songs like "Kickback","1976 Guitar","Kooyong Dollar" and many others could see the light of day,and I'd happily buy another copy of "Latest and Greatest" just to obtain these on cd. So the Skyhook tale continues.
Many Baby-Boomers reading this,would of grown up with the band,some of you would of screamed your lungs out in '75,had your first pash. with Skyhooks thumping out "Good in bed" in the background,giggled at SMUT and covered your walls in poster portraits from TV Week and Spunky magazines. It's been a fun journey so far,and we thank you for making the effort to check out the site. It could be a flashback, it could be rather confusing for some of you. For a Melbourne bands who's main goal was to have some chart success in Sydney, they've done well. As we said it's a long way from the Seventies........but not a lot has changed....here are some of Gregs lyrics,see what we mean.
"Yeah I'm living in the seventies
Eatin' fake food under plastic trees
My face gets dirty just walkin' around
and I need another pill to calm me down"

On this show I interview James "Tappy" Wright, author of ROCK ROADIE. Tappy Wright was road manager for The Animals, Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner, Herman's Hermits, Sting and many other legendary artists. This book arrived in my mailbox several months ago and since I'm not a huge fan of any of these artists (with the exception of The Animals) it stayed on my shelf for a while. When I finally got around to reading it I was really glad I did. There is story after story after story about life on the road and all that comes with it. Having sex with groupies, band fighting, partying, it's all there and Tappy holds nothing back. One of the big selling points in the book is what he claims is proof positive that Jimi Hendrix was murdered. He goes into great detail about how it happened. On the show you will hear that and quite a few other great stories from the book. If you are a student of rock history like I am, then I think you are going to like this interview(and the book).

We are back with another episode of The Hairbanger's Ball. This week Michael concludes the Australian theme with a 2006 concert performance from Rose Tattoo. Here is "Remedy".
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Aussie hard rock combo Rose Tattoo was formed in Sydney in 1976 by ex-Buffalo guitarist Peter Wells; with the additions of former Buster Brown vocalist Angry Anderson, guitarist Mick Cocks, bassist Ian Rilen and drummer Dallas "Digger" Royal, the group made their public bow on New Year's Eve at the local club Chequers, which several years earlier launched the career of AC/DC. Chiefly inspired by the Rolling Stones and the Faces, Rose Tattoo's ferocious, ear-splitting sound quickly earned a devoted following among Sydney area pubgoers, and in 1978 the group signed to Albert Productions; their debut single "Bad Boy for Love" was written by Rilen, who left the lineup prior to the record's release. Anderson's onetime Buster Brown bassist Geordie Leech was recruited for Rose Tattoo's self-titled debut LP; after nearly three years of relentless touring, they issued the follow-up, Assault and Battery, in 1981.
After a tour of Europe which saw them hailed as the loudest band to play London's Marquee Club since Led Zeppelin, Rose Tattoo returned to Australia to begin work on their third album; with new guitarist Robin Riley replacing Cocks, they issued Scarred for Life in 1982, subsequently touring the U.S. in support of Aerosmith and ZZ Top. However, over the course of 1983 Wells, Royal and Riley all left the group, with the remaining duo of Anderson and Leach recruiting guitarists Greg Jordan and John Meyer along with drummer Scott Johnston to record 1984's Southern Stars. Leach then exited to join Wells, Royal and Riley in the short-lived Illustrated Men; Anderson and Johnston continued on as Rose Tattoo, enlisting guitarist Tim Gaze and bassist Andy Cichon for 1986's Beats from a Single Drum. Anderson finally mounted a solo career soon after, as did Wells. After years of substance abuse, Royal died in 1991.
At the request of longtime fans Guns N' Roses, Anderson, Wells, Cocks, Leach and new drummer Paul DeMarco reformed Rose Tattoo in 1993 to open for the Gunners on their Australian tour; the reunion proved brief, however, and upon completing the tour each member returned to his solo endeavors. The same lineup, with original bassist Ian Rilen replacing Leach, reformed yet again in 1998 for the "All Hell Breaks Loose!!" tour; by the following year, Leach had returned to the fold once more. Fall 2000 saw the release of 25 to Life.

We are back with another episode of The Hairbanger's Ball. This week Michael is continuing his Austrailian theme with a brand new video from seminal hard rock legends AC/DC. This is the video for "Anything Goes" from their latest CD "Black Ice".
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
AC/DC's mammoth power chord roar became one of the most influential hard rock sounds of the '70s. In its own way, it was a reaction against the pompous art rock and lumbering arena rock of the early '70s. AC/DC's rock was minimalist — no matter how huge and bludgeoning the guitar chords were, there was a clear sense of space and restraint. Combined with Bon Scott's larynx-shredding vocals, the band spawned countless imitators over the next two decades. AC/DC were formed in 1973 in Australia by guitarist Malcolm Young after his band, the Velvet Underground, collapsed (Young's band has no relation to the seminal American group). With his younger brother Angus as lead guitarist, the band played some gigs around Sydney. Angus was only 15 years old at the time and his sister suggested that he should wear his school uniform on-stage; the look became the band's visual trademark. While still in Sydney, the original lineup featuring singer Dave Evans cut a single called "Can I Sit Next to You," with ex-Easybeats Harry Vanda and George Young (Malcolm and Angus' older brother) producing.
The band moved to Melbourne the following year, where drummer Phil Rudd (formerly of the Coloured Balls) and bassist Mark Evans joined the band. The band's chauffeur, Bon Scott, became the lead vocalist when singer Dave Evans refused to go on-stage. Previously, Scott had been vocalist for the Australian prog rock bands Fraternity and the Valentines. More importantly, he helped cement the group's image as brutes — he had several convictions on minor criminal offenses and was rejected by the Australian Army for being "socially maladjusted." And AC/DC were socially maladjusted. Throughout their career they favored crude double entendres and violent imagery, all spiked with a mischievous sense of fun.
The group released two albums — High Voltage and TNT — in Australia in 1974 and 1975. Material from the two records comprised the 1976 release High Voltage in the U.S. and U.K.; the group also toured both countries. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap followed at the end of the year. Mark Evans left the band at the beginning of 1977, with Cliff Williams taking his place. In the fall of 1977, AC/DC released Let There Be Rock, which became their first album to chart in the U.S. Powerage, released in spring of 1978, expanded their audience even further, thanks in no small part to their dynamic live shows (which were captured on 1978's live If You Want Blood You've Got It). What really broke the doors down for the band was the following year's Highway to Hell, which hit number 17 in the U.S. and number eight in the U.K., becoming the group's first million-seller.
AC/DC's train was derailed when Bon Scott died on February 20, 1980. The official coroner's report stated he had "drunk himself to death." In March, the band replaced Scott with Brian Johnson. The following month, the band recorded Back in Black, which would prove to be its biggest album, selling over ten million copies in the U.S. alone. For the next few years, the band was one of the largest rock bands in the world, with For Those About to Rock We Salute You topping the charts in the U.S. In 1982, Rudd left the band; he was replaced by Simon Wright.
After 1983's Flick of the Switch, AC/DC's commercial standing began to slip; they were able to reverse their slide with 1990's The Razor's Edge, which spawned the hit "Thunderstruck." While not the commercial powerhouse they were during the late '70s and early '80s, the '90s saw them maintain their status as a top international concert draw. In the fall of 1995, their 16th album, Ballbreaker, was released. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album received some of the most positive reviews of AC/DC's career. Ballbreaker entered the American charts at number four and sold over a million copies in its first six months of release. Stiff Upper Lip followed in early 2000 with similar results. The group signed a multi-album deal with Sony the following year that resulted in a slew of reissues and DVDs. The band returned to the studio in 2008 for Black Ice, an all-new collection of songs that was followed by the group's first world tour since 2001.

Quick Mix
You don’t need to wait for all the
sounds to load before starting to mix. As soon as a loop icon lights
up, you can drag it to the playing field and begin your performance.
You can even drag unloaded sounds there; they’ll start to play as soon
as they’ve loaded. (This technique works best with percussive loops.)
You don’t have to wait for loops to load before starting your performance.
Hello, I’ll Be Your Fader
Play the Extremes
The
Looptastic crossfader is a lot more expressive than you’d think. Tap
the extreme right and left edges of the fader on the beat to create
DJ-style transform effects. (Try tapping the filter screen on offbeats,
too.)
Cue & Evolve
Move the fader all
the way to one side, cue up some loops in the silent zone, and then
snap the fader over to the silent side on the next downbeat. That will
transition to a new section in your song. Repeat this left-right,
cue-and-snap movement to keep the mix evolving.
Instant Breakdown
Put
all the loops except a vocal into one side zone, and then quickly
crossfade to the other side to solo the vocal. (Keeping a subtle hi-hat
pulse going in the center zone — which always plays — helps propel the
mix along.) Now drag loops horizontally from the silent zone into the
center zone, one by one, to start building up your track again.
Right
now, only the vocal (right zone) and hi-hat (center zone) are playing.
Dragging loops horizontally from the silent zone (left) adds them back
to the mix, creating a build.
No-Stress Recording
Unlike
most music apps, in which you click Record and then pray you perform
something good, Looptastic is always listening. In Looptastic, you hit
Record after you’ve played something great, knowing Looptastic has
already captured it. This retro-recording design eliminates the “red
light jitters” so many performers get.
Producer’s Cut
With
the flagship Looptastic Producer app, you can really personalize your
mix by importing your own sounds over Wi-Fi. (We call it Mashup to Go.)
Looptastic automatically time-stretches your loops so they play in
sync, but there’s also a hidden sound-bite feature: Before import,
change the mode to One Shot on your computer. That disables the
time-stretching so your sound bite plays normally. By setting the loop
length, you can control how often it repeats.
Set sound bites to One Shot mode and Looptastic Producer will play them at the original speed. Control how often the phrase repeats by picking a bar length.
Export Control
One of our
biggest customer requests was for a way to export recordings as
high-res audio files. That’s now possible in all versions of
Looptastic. (Except the free one, although even it captures your
performance moves, so you can still record the iPhone’s analog output.)
You can burn exported files directly to CD.
Got a hot tip? Send it in! We’ll feature the best ones here, along with a link to your site or YouTube demo.

- Hold down the power button.
- Swipe the slide to power off.
- Wait for the unit to power down and then press the power button again.
What is the best way to create loops for Producer?
There are several good ways to create loops. Both Ableton Live and Sony Acid allow you to export tracks individually. This is very helpful for creating separate parts at the same length and tempo.
You can also use Apple GarageBand to prepare loops for Looptastic. The key is set up a 4- or 8-bar section and use the looped playback feature to set a range. Then, solo one track and export your mix to a AIFF file. Repeat for each track in your arrangement.
Here are some freeware loop editors that may help:
Mac:

Audacity
PC:
Wavosaur (Tutorial)
Audacity
The tempo is off; what do I do?
For best results, use loops that have a similar or identical tempo. Also, use loops that are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 bars in length. Looptastic Producer will do its best to line everything up automatically. If all else fails, make each track the same length.
Where can I get some loops?
Here are three demo sets developed by Adam Smith Kipnis that you can download and use with Looptastic Producer.

It's the start of a new year, and we have a brand new episode of the Hairbanger's Ball. In this week's episode, Michael has pulled a classic, but little known to most band from Australia called The Angels. Here is their performance of "Marseille" from the 1983 Narara Festival. Enjoy.
BIO: (from theangels.com.au)
Anyone familiar with The Angels music and their history knows they are not only one of Australia’s greatest ever bands but one of its longest surviving.
Since releasing their now legendary debut single ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’ in May 1976, the band has gone on to enjoy an extraordinary career – through the release of a vast catalogue of recorded music and performing thousands of gigs over more than three decades. Now that the quintessential Angels line-up responsible for recording the landmark first four albums that laid the foundations for everything that followed, have reformed, and are now touring together for the first time since 1981, we are again reminded why the band is so revered.
Indisputably throughout their history they have been venerated not only by their legions of dedicated fans – many of whom have grown up with their music from their youth; but can boast a fan club of some of rock music’s greatest names. AC/DC, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Aerosmith, Guns 'N Roses, Meat Loaf, Kurt Cobain, Motley Crue, Great White, Cheap Trick, Pearl Jam and lastly, but by no means least, former Easybeats’ legends Harry Vanda and George Young, who also launched the recording career of AC-DC and a host of others via independent Sydney label Alberts – are members.
To trace the origins of The Angels you need to go back to Adelaide and Flinders Universities in 1970 – as friends got together and formed The Moonshine Jug & String Band. Its members included brothers John and Rick Brewster; and a Belfast born but Adelaide-raised Bernard ‘Doc’ Neeson – a distant relative of Ned Kelly. With their eclectic music rooted in a mix of 1920’s blues and jazz replete with washboard, washtub bass, banjo, harmonica and kazoos, their shambolic origins eventually gave way to genuine dexterity as they became a hit on the Adelaide arts scene. While studying to complete degree courses, Doc, John and Rick eventually succumbed to their appetite to pursue a career as professional musicians.
In 1974 and now emboldened by their academic grasp of the world of film, music and drama, the Brewster brothers and Doc decided to ditch the jug band and become electric warriors along with drummer Charlie King. Starting out with raucous cover versions of 1950’s rock ‘n’ roll and recycled rhythm and blues, it was only a matter of time before they would replace other people’s songs with their own. The first hint that they were putting together something special came with their appearance at the 1975 Sunbury outdoor festival where their good time rocking scored them a standing ovation and three encores from a wildly receptive audience in the tens of thousands.
Later in the year they thought they had struck rock ‘n roll gold when they were employed to act both as Chuck Berry’s backing band and his support. Undertaking a national tour with the man who some credit as the father of rock ‘n roll provided them with a priceless education in Berry’s distinctive stage craft and minimalism. But they also had to put up with one of rock’s most notoriously cranky, distrustful and generally unpleasant individuals. However, another support slot that year turned out to be both a heart-warming exercise and massively beneficial to their future when they toured outback South Australia with AC-DC – playing the three hot spots of Whyalla, Port Pirie and Port Augusta. In what resembled a rock tour variation on ‘Priscilla – Queen of the Desert’ the two bands got on like a house on fire.
Buoyed by the encouragement of Bon Scott and the Young brothers they moved to Sydney in early 1976, bolstered by a name change and evolving their sound to a more contemporary rock feel. Now as The Angels and following the recommendation of Scott and Angus and Malcolm Young, they were signed by Vanda and Young to join AC-DC at the Alberts label after successfully recording some demos of their new material.
Following the May 1976 release of the Vanda-Young produced debut single that would later become an institution via it’s notorious audience chant of “no way – get fucked – fuck off” – 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' became a song as identifiably Australian as a pie and sauce. The chant has ensured it’s become one of the most iconic and best loved Australian rock songs of all time – although the band played no part in its original conception, which remains a mystery. At the time the single failed to chart and soon after King was replaced on drums by Graham “Buzz” Bidstrup; with Chris Bailey also being recruited to take over on bass guitar from Doc in early 1977 – thereby freeing him up to concentrate purely on his role as lead vocalist. Now the 2008 reunion line-up was complete and would remain together until after the release of fourth album ‘Dark Room’. Although the self-titled debut album (August 1977) garnered critical acclaim it was more a case of the calm before the storm! But a year later and a transforming makeover in their songs and stage show and the release of the seminal 'Face To Face' (August ’78) which remained on the album charts for a propitious 79 weeks, was the start of their reign as Australia’s most popular live band for the next few years now that AC-DC was permanently resident in the UK.
Coming face to face with success
Their dynamic live show saw them selling out the country’s biggest venues as well as helping mentor a whole new generation of bands as part of the so-called pub rock movement which became the dominant Australian sound for years to come. Their breakthrough year was crowned as complete when they appeared as special guest support for David Bowie’s national tour in November. Such was his personal fervour for their music he not only enjoyed watching them playing late night additional gigs during that tour but they had to reluctantly decline his invitation to tour with him in Japan due to other commitments. But his enthusiasm and that of their fans everywhere they played helped fuel their self-belief that international success was surely only a matter of time.
‘Face To Face’ unleashed a stash of classic songs, all written by the now established song-writing team of ‘Brewster/Neeson/Brewster’. Typically driven by a high-energy mix of muscular guitars underscored by a pile-driving rhythm section and topped off by the often manic and emotive vocals of their charismatic and hyper singer, ‘Face to Face’ also established the unique audience bonding tribalism now integral to an Angels show. Fans joyfully sang along to anthemic classics 'Coming Down', 'Take A Long Line', 'I Ain’t The One', 'Be With You', 'Straightjacket' and 'After The Rain' – while the bleak and atmospheric ‘Outcast’ and the climactic showstopper 'Marseilles' displayed other brilliant dimensions. After that there was no holding back the juggernaut as the follow up album 'No Exit' (June 1979) presented another clutch of classics, also written by ‘Brewster/Neeson/Brewster’, who have just recently been inducted onto the Australian Song-writers Hall of Fame. As well as more fist pumping anthems such as 'Shadow Boxer', 'Mr Damage', ‘Waiting For The World’, ‘Can’t Shake It’ and the blitzing ‘Ivory Stairs’, they rounded out their growing arranging sophistication with the wonderfully gothic ‘Dawn Is Breaking’ and brooding ‘Out Of The Blue’ – but arguably saved their best for the epic title track that highlighted just how much the twinned guitars of Rick and John didn’t just provide muscle, but the kind of lyrical melody that set them apart from so many high energy contemporaries.
With the release of their fourth album 'Dark Room' (June 1980), they hit the jackpot with their biggest hit single yet, the number one ‘No Secrets’, penned by Neeson and Bidstrup, further consolidating their enormous home success. Nowhere was this more apparent than when they played to a record 1979 New Year’s Eve concert crowd of 100,000 on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. However, inadequate provision by organisers failing to anticipate such a huge turn out led to fans at the front being caught in a crush as excited fans surged forward when the band appeared on stage just before midnight causing what Sydney media the following day called a riot. Fortunately, other than Doc and Chris being felled themselves by stray missiles hurled by some fans unable to move at the front, there was no serious injury, but it could have been far worse if fans hadn’t been helped on to the stage by the band. But the fall-out from the show being stopped in its tracks was a ban on rock concerts at the location for years.
Yet for all the band’s domestic popularity and sustained quality of their recorded output over their career, and despite launching numerous foreign campaigns in the next decade – the big overseas breakthrough didn’t eventuate. Although they won over fans wherever they played, whether in Europe or particularly in the north-west US market centred on the future grunge capital of the world – Seattle, they couldn’t overcome some significant hurdles that didn’t help their prospects. For a start they found themselves promoting ‘Face to Face’ as their American debut in 1980, when it was actually comprised of songs from that album and ‘No Exit’. But the real clinker was having to tour as the renamed Angel City because it was felt they needed to avoid possible confusion (and lawyers), with a minor league US glam band called Angel – let alone a defunct 1960’s girl band also called The Angels.
They were also famously sacked from a Kinks tour just as they were about to make their Madison Square Gardens debut in New York, because Ray and Dave Davies became paranoid they going over too well as the support act. Also playing a part was the frequent musical chairs that characterise management clean outs at US labels, which saw them losing valuable allies at critical junctures – along with the labels’ failing to pitch the band to their strongest demographics. Another fateful setback occurred when they prematurely returned home from America to fulfil local commitments just as they were starting to make significant waves on US radio with ‘Marseilles’ on their first overseas tour.
In early 1986, John, who helped instigate some of their most famous songs as part of the Brewster-Neeson-Brewster composing team (‘Marseilles’, for example) and first came up with the trademark stabby guitar rhythm they called the “nik-niks”, departed the band after some internal fall out. Just as Buzz and Chris found success outside The Angels as founding members of the highly rated GANGgajang, John became a member and co-producer of The Party Boys, helping to give them a number one hit before he rejoined The Angels again in 1993. This meant only Doc and Rick have remained the two constants over the band's career duration. Hence when the end finally came for the band that had emerged from The Keystone Angel apprenticeship in 1974 – just days into January 2000, the end of the journey at the time came as a shock to all involved, but none more so than Doc.
Shock, horror – Doc calls it a day
Just a few weeks earlier in December 1999, Doc had been injured in an automobile accident while returning home in Sydney one night. He was rear-ended and suffered massive whiplash after another driver failed to notice his car was stationary at a highway toll pool. At first he thought his severe aches and pains were largely a temporary discomfort, and with the help of painkillers he managed to get through the remaining dates of the current Angels tour, and a live performance with other leading Australian acts he had organised to appear in a triumphant all-star East Timor ‘Tour of Duty’ pre-Christmas thank you for Australian troops in the capital of Dili.
He then soldiered on about 10 days later to appear at a special Angels New Year's Eve Millennium concert outside Darwin’s casino, which as it transpired then became the band’s farewell gig. Just days later he was informed by his doctor that live performance was now to cease if he didn’t want to risk being crippled for life. Incapacitated by various trauma injuries from the collision and going through months of pain during rehab; he spent the next couple of years also battling bouts of depression.
In the interim John and Rick got back together with Buzz and Chris to play at a Ted Mulry cancer benefit concert in March 2001; that encouraged the four of them to tour a revamped band for several years that was billed as The Original Angels Band. They recorded and released a ‘Live At The Basement’ CD in 2006 which was also accompanied by an ABC television special. John and Rick also kept busy touring and recording as The Brewster Brothers, culminating in the 2006 ‘Shadows Fall’ album and the 2007 ‘Brewster Brothers Live at Port Fairy’.
Meanwhile in 2003 Doc made a cautious return to live touring as Doc Neeson’s Angels – before he then put together a new band called "Red Phoenix". In 2005 they toured at home and overseas and recorded a self-titled album. But amidst all this activity of recent years has been an on-going legal squabble between Doc and the other four relating to the respective use of The Angels name which ended up in a 2007 Supreme Court action. However, the presiding judge successfully urged both sides to settle their differences by private mediation rather than a costly drawn out trial. It was this subsequent reconciliation that removed the last barrier standing in the way of a reunion of the five marquee band members, and in May 2008 they announced The Angels were back. In this age of the internet their return to touring was greeted rapturously by their fans far and wide. It also served to underline the quirks of fate that had stopped them becoming a sizeable international success before now.
While it’s not hard to argue there’s nothing particularly alien about The Angels music that should have prevented them making it big overseas, obviously history confounds such acceptance. Little wonder then the band still find it jarring they never got the breaks they felt their music deserved. Not so much being deprived of a similar AC-DC level of mega-stardom and astronomical sales – that would be over the top. But being significantly more than an influential footnote in the CV of other celebrated musicians – and a cult band in North America and Europe!
“When I look back now on the band after all these years, I just marvel at what a great band we were and I don’t think we as a band understood it fully then,’ Doc says with the added benefit of additional experience now. ‘I think when we went overseas people at the record companies were a bit unsure what to do with these Aussies, even though I don’t doubt we were world class. In America they like to put types of music into boxes, and we got one reviewer who said we were a “new wave, hard rock, new romantic band”. The guy just didn’t know where to categorise us. But the audiences got it because to them we were just rock ‘n roll. But I think for the industry itself, given American sensibilities, they just found us difficult to pigeonhole.”
Putting that behind them now, the band has again hit the road with a documentary crew in tow to help capture the historic occasion for a future SBS documentary. How appropriate that in the 30th anniversary year since ‘Face To Face’, they’re back with a vengeance selling out venues again to make a special year in their long history even more memorable. As part of that process Alberts and Sony have put together a specially remastered and expanded edition of ‘Face to Face’ with five previously unreleased tracks taken from their legendary 1979 live concert at La Trobe University, as well as further special edition reissues of ‘No Exit’, ‘Dark Room’ and their debut album. Add to that schedule a feature packed DVD of the La Trobe concert in full Dolby Digital, and surely there’s never been a better time to embrace the good Doctor’s own advice – “this is it folks – over the top”!

This show really has nothing to do with the swine flu or Marilyn Manson but caller Chauna, the 16 year old rock and roll geek said it on her call and I thought it would make a good title for this episode. What this episode really is about are my top 5 albums of 2009. A lot of albums were released this year by a lot of bands I really like so it was a good year in that respect but most of those albums were not great in my opinion. A lot were good but not great. On this show I play songs from each of my favorite albums this year. I'm not going to give them away on these show notes but if you like what you heard and want to buy them, please click on the Amazon banner at the top of this site so I get a little kickback. I need the money my friends!

This is a midweek bonus episode of the Rock and Roll Geek Show. As you probably know by now, I was in London, England a couple of weeks ago for the Ginger birthday bash thanks to Alex from Bathroom Wall and Phil from the Paranoid Squirrel podcast and while I was there, I wandered around the streets of London by myself with a microphone strapped to me. This is what took place while the mic was on. It is what I call 'Walking With Butler Through The Streets of London"
On this show I do a recap of my trip to London, England to play bass for Ginger's Birthday Bash at the Garage on December 17th, 2009. I also throw in some music by some of the guests that played at the concert as well.

Happy Holidays from everyone here at the Hairbanger's Ball. As a special treat for your holiday viewing, Michael Butler brings you a live performance of the perenial Christmas favorite "White Christmas" from Twisted Sister. Enjoy.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
A product of New Yorker City's early-'70s glam rock scene, Twisted Sister were eager students of the New York Dolls, with the theatrics of Kiss and the shock rock of Alice Cooper thrown in for good measure. While providing an excellent role model from an artistic standpoint, the Dolls' disappointing record sales and subsequent implosion would make it difficult for such faithful disciples as Twisted Sister to land a record deal, and the band wound up struggling for nearly a decade before finally getting their big break in the early '80s. Unfortunately, when this break finally came, the band would then embody one of the most gruesome examples of record company overexposure in the history of rock & roll (or at least since Kiss' late-'70s decline), bringing an abrupt end to their brief moment of glory.Founded in December 1972 by guitarist Jay Jay French (who as John Segal, legend has it, played in a pre-Kiss band called Rainbow with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley), Twisted Sister based their every move on the aforementioned New York Dolls. Their apprenticeship on the local club scene was a slow one, but by late 1975 a somewhat stable lineup had coalesced around French, fellow guitarist and high school buddy Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda, bassist Kenneth Harrison Neil, and drummer Kevin John Grace. A number of different vocalists filed through their ranks, but it was only with the arrival of Dee Snider in early 1976 that the band found its true leader. Snider brought a strong Alice Cooper influence to the band, giving their by then antiquated, fey glam sound a welcome kick in the ass. He also quickly developed into the band's dominant songwriter, and with new drummer Tony Petri in tow, Twisted Sister really started making a name for themselves in and around the city.A significant growth spurt ensued; Snider wrote a wealth of original material and the band's live performances grew in local legend, setting attendance records that still stand in many clubs and culminating in a fruitful May 1978 recording session that would yield most of the material released 20 years later as the Club Daze album. Twisted Sister's transformation from glam rock also-rans into metallic hard rock contenders was completed later that year with the arrival of ex-Dictators bass player Mark "The Animal" Mendoza. November 1979 saw another studio session (this time at Electric Lady Studios with famed Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer), which resulted in their first single, "I'll Never Grow Up Now!," released on the band's own TSR label in early 1980. Another single, "Bad Boys of Rock'n'Roll," followed that summer, but for all their hard work, come 1981 the band had only a growing collection of record company rejection slips to show for their efforts. Finally, independent Secret Records decided to take a chance on the group and after cutting the four-track Ruff Cuts EP, the group flew to England with new drummer A.J. Pero (ex-Cities) to record their first full-length album, Under the Blade, under the direction of UFO bassist Pete Way as producer. And despite obtaining only a mediocre sound from the inexperienced Way, the album became a surprise underground success, generating enough buzz to attract Atlantic Records, which came calling with a major distribution contract -- the final ingredient for Twisted Sister's assault on the charts over the next two years.1983's seminal You Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll laid the groundwork for things to come with its more polished production values and more consistent material, yielding only one chart-flirting single in the title track (for which the band filmed their first, incredibly cheesy, but rather amusing video) but garnering serious cred with the metal crowd. Later that year, L.A.'s Quiet Riot topped the charts with their smash hit Metal Health (the first heavy metal album to do so), and Twisted Sister took advantage of this sympathetic musical climate to unleash their own definitive statement, Stay Hungry. Digging deep into his pop and glam roots, Snider infused added commercial appeal to the band's hard rock onslaught, and with such monster hits as "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" leading the way to radio and MTV saturation with their hilariously tongue-in-cheek videos, the album soon exceeded multi-platinum sales. The extensive touring that followed guaranteed the album's stay near the top of the charts for many months to come and, against all odds, helped make the "sick mo-fos" from Long Island into household names in America. Of course the backlash, when it came, was equally sudden and incredibly vicious. Overexposed to the breaking point after converting every angry teenager in America and most of their parents, Twisted Sister had lost the edge of their dangerous image, not to mention the respect of their loyal but terribly possessive core metal fan base. To complicate matters, 1985's Come Out and Play album was very uneven; attempting to cater to both the band's hardcore elements and their newfound pop constituency and introducing an excessively glammed-up image makeover to boot, it quickly slid off the charts. Not even Atlantic Records' timely reissue of Under the Blade (with an added bonus track, "I'll Never Grow Up Now!") could staunch the bleeding, and a dumbfounded Twisted Sister found themselves quickly transformed from media darlings to favorite whipping boys.
For his part, Snider remained in the camera eye, however, appearing before a Senate committee later that year (along with such rock & roll luminaries as Frank Zappa and Bob Denver) to testify against the Parents Music Resource Center's demands for music censorship legislation. Sadly, it would prove to be Twisted Sister's highest profile appearance all year, as their concerts were frequently marred either by low attendance or crowd animosity. Adding insult to injury, drummer Pero had rendered his resignation at tour's end, opening the door to a very troubled 1986 for Twisted Sister, as rumors ran rampant about an irreparable rift between Snider and French over the band's direction. They eventually re-emerged with 1987's Love Is for Suckers, featuring new drummer Joey "Seven" Franco, but not even the services of flavor-of-the-month pop-metal producer Beau Hill could save the album from disappointing sales, and despite still getting by on the basis of their reliably fierce concert performances, Twisted Sister wound up disintegrating shortly thereafter.Except for Dee Snider, who gamely soldiered on with an ultimately unsuccessful new hard rock band named Desperado (later renamed Widowmaker and featuring guitarist Bernie Tormé and drummer Franco), the members of Twisted Sister pretty much vanished from sight over the next few years. Grunge came and went, and posthumous releases like 1992's Big Hits and Nasty Cuts and 1994's Live at Hammersmith provided the only memory of Twisted Sister's meteoric flight across the hard rock firmament. As the '90s wore on, Snider's voice was heard promoting the New York State Lotto as often as shouting "I wanna rock!" and by decade's end he'd transitioned into a widely syndicated radio DJ and even sometime movie producer. He wrote and starred in the 1998 horror flick Strangeland, for which he also managed to reunite Twisted Sister's final lineup to record a brand new song entitled "Heroes Are Hard to Find."
His reconciliation with TS founder Jay Jay French (who'd kept busy managing bands, most notably nu-metallers Sevendust) eventually paved the way to a never-dreamed-of, full-fledged reunion of the "classic" Stay Hungry lineup, which performed publicly for the first time in almost 15 years at a post-9/11 benefit concert for New York City. By then, Spitfire Records had reissued much of Twisted Sister's original catalog, along with a pair of Club Daze collections documenting the band's "lost" '70s recordings, and, in 2004, released a re-recorded Stay Hungry (retitled Still Hungry) to mark its 20th anniversary. All of this activity fostered further demand for a more permanent return to action -- they even released a holiday album (Twisted Christmas) in 2006 -- and Twisted Sister has since toured sporadically across the globe, even, as documented by 2005's Live at Wacken DVD, performing to massive European festival audiences.

Welcome to this week's episode of The Hairbanger's Ball. This week, Michael brings you a classic performance from one of his favorite groups - Hanoi Rocks. Here they are performing "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". Enjoy.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Finland's major export to the world of heavy metal, Hanoi Rocks, drew much of their sound and inspiration from '70s glam-rock and were thought by some to have fused the two styles more successfully than similar acts such as Motley Crue. Hanoi Rocks was founded in 1980 by singer Michael Monroe (born Matti Fagerholm) and guitarist Andy McCoy (born Antti Hulkko); after some lineup changes, the rest of the group consisted of guitarist Nasty Suicide (born Jan Stenfors), bassist Sam Yaffa (born Saki Takamäki), and drummer Gyp Casino (born Jesper Sporre). All members except Monroe had previously played with one or both of the Finnish punk bands Briard and Pelle Miljoona Oy. Their Scandinavian-only (at first) debut album, Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks, was released in 1981, and the band soon went to London to promote themselves and record Oriental Beat. After it was completed, Casino was fired and replaced by ex-Demon Preacher and Dark drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley. The band signed to CBS in 1983 and began to spread their name in Britain; their remake of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Up Around the Bend" became their only U.K. chart single the next year, from the album Two Steps From the Move. The band ended the year with a tour of the U.S., but Razzle was killed in a tragic automobile accident while a passenger in Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil's car. (Neil was convicted of vehicular manslaughter.) Razzle was replaced by ex-Clash drummer Terry Chimes, but things were never quite the same for Monroe. He gave the band notice early in 1985, and the group broke up in May after a farewell concert. Chimes, McCoy, and Suicide formed the short-lived Cherry Bombz, Yaffa joined Jetboy, and Monroe recorded a solo album, Not Fakin' It, that briefly made the U.S. charts in 1989. Monroe, Suicide, and Yaffa reunited in 1994 as Demolition 23. In 2002, Monroe and McCoy reformed Hanoi Rocks, releasing Twelve Shots on the Rocks on the Major Leiden label and started touring once again.

Michael Butler suggests a music book for the reader on your shopping list
Rock Roadie by James "Tappy" Wright
Purchase on Amazon
Sex and drugs and rock ‘n roll and packed full of conspiracy theories …….The Animals; Jimi Hendrix; Tina Turner; & Elvis………Super roadie Tappy Wright takes his readers on an exclusive access all areas tour during more than thirty years on the road with the biggest names in rock and roll as tour manager and close confidante.
• 'After years of press speculation, Tappy finally reveals his "being there" experience of what happened when Jimi Hendrix died. How did it happen.....? Read Rock Roadie’s Revelation!'
Geordie “Tappy” was there at the beginning when Eric Burdon and the boys formed the Animals and when they recorded their anthem ‘House of the Rising Sun’. He was there at the end when they re-formed for a world tour in the early 80’s.
He was there at the beginning when unknown guitarist Jimi Hendrix played to a handful of punters in a smoky American club and next day recorded one of his biggest hits ‘Hey Joe’. He regularly took Jimi and his band to the VD clinic as groupies gave them more than their bodies.
He looked after superstar Tina Turner and her fiery husband Ike on their first ever tour of the UK.
He told the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Aaron Presley, in no uncertain terms to go away when he took the telephone call from who he thought to be an impostor, before grovelling to the great man and finally being given a private audience at Graceland.
Rolling Stone Brian Jones and Beatle John Lennon were guests at his 21st birthday party…Lennon’s legendary sense of humour resulted in a cake fight between the two.
He fended off sexual advances from sex-bomb actress Jayne Mansfield.
He has seen it all. He has done it all. He’s been jailed and he’s been ‘press ganged’ into the US Army as a deserter. He came close to joining the ‘Monkees’. He was witness and victim to early racism in the music business. He has seen drugs kill and destroy. He single-handedly defeated the Spanish Armada’s attack on London, during a bad acid trip on LSD. He’s shed enough tears.
He knows the real reason Hendrix and his manager Chas Chandler parted company at the height of his fame. And he’s telling.
Tappy’s insight into the crazy world of rock and roll in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s is free of PR puff and fluff. He tells it like it is, like it was because he should know. He was there. His own sexual exploits are X-rated……he even ended up being photographed for a double page spread in girlie magazine Escort!
This is no ordinary book. It is extremely funny and will appeal to rock and roll fans across the globe, those of us who were around in the free-love days of the 60’s (he was at Woodstock with Hendrix) will revel in the nostalgic trip down memory lane. It should also serve as a historical archive record of the birth of the Animals and beyond.
Tappy was born in Whitley Bay, just outside Newcastle, the son of a miner and lucky to have food on the table of the family’s tiny, two up, two down, terraced house. His love of music and canny ability to be in the right place at the right time resulted in Tappy helping form the Animals, even playing second guitar on many of their hits.
He went on to work with Jimi Hendrix, Ike and Tina Turner, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Peter Noone (Herman’s Hermits), Chuck Berry, Jayne Mansfield and Jerry Lee Lewis and had professional encounters with Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, Sammy Davis Jnr., Dean Martin, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, and Frank Sinatra…an almost endless who’s who of music and film stars. His dream really came true when he got to meet his boyhood idol, movie star and comedian Jerry Lewis.
He married a Polish Princess and spent much of his time with her looking over his shoulder for the Polish Secret Service; sure he was under surveillance and his telephones being tapped. Amazingly, he was approached by a mystery man in a London pub and invited to become a spy for the British.
Tappy’s fame in his native Geordie –land helped him buy and run the very club where it all started for him and the Animals, the infamous Club-A-Go-Go. Recession and some bad business decisions saw Tappy’s world fall apart when the club and his other business interests went bust and he was left with huge debts totalling £500,000.
But a natural survivor, Tappy has now cleared those debts and spends his time between his home in Whitley Bay and a holiday home in Florida, where he is a regular visitor to the famous Hard Rock Café, as the world’s only living rock and roll memorabilia, regaling diners with his fascinating tales of life on the road with the stars of rock and roll. He even owns one of Jimi’s rare guitars, given to him before Jimi’s death. The real-life Alfie, Tappy’s exploits and sex-ploits offer an affectionate, witty, and sometimes touching, dash through musical history experienced first-hand.
Packed full of conspiracy theories, truths finally told and previously unheard anecdotes, Rock Roadie is a gripping and hilarious read from the man that famous names were hoping would keep his silence. But Tappy Wright is finally speaking out and he’s telling it all!
Supported by a spoken-word tour of the US and with guaranteed media interest through revelations about Hendrix’s alleged murder, Rock Roadie is the autobiography that every 60s/70s music fan has been waiting for.
As Eric Burdon wrote in his 1984 autobiography…”A good road manager is as important as a good lead singer. Tappy Wright was the best in the business”.
Ends
Tappy is soon to hit the road again, to begin a tour of a different sort – this time as the star of his own show, a “spoken word performance” – treating audiences at theatres and University campus’ to his account of life on the road and backstage…………access all areas. Who knows……..some of Tappy’s old pals may just turn up for old time’s sake.
Tappy is represented by veteran music biz manager, film producer, agent and promoter Rod Weinberg, the man who persuaded the Animals to put their differences for each other aside to re-form for the 1983 World Tour.

Review from Allmusic.com:
Arguably, pop-metal is a form of power pop, or, at the very least, the two have some things in common. Like the Raspberries, the Go-Go's, or Blondie, a pop-metal act will typically blend rockin', guitar-powered aggression with pop sensibilities. Cheap Trick and Sweet, in fact, are perfect examples of bands that are relevant to both pop-metal and power pop. So it seemed logical when Starz provided a big dose of outright power pop on its third album, Attention Shoppers!. The band didn't eliminate the pop-metal factor on this 1978 LP; "X-Ray Spex" and "Good Ale We Seek," for example, are the type of pop-minded hard rock items that one expected from Starz. But tunes like "I'll Be There," "She" (not to be confused with the Kiss favorite), and "Hold on to the Night" are power pop ditties that wouldn't have been out of place at a Raspberries session; this isn't to say that Attention Shoppers! is in a class with the Raspberries' best work. Starz's third album isn't a masterpiece, but it's competent and enjoyable. Further, Starz deserves credit for trying something different and not turning this LP into a carbon copy of Starz or Violation.

Welcome to this week's episode of The Hairbanger's Ball. This week, we didn't have to dig to deep into the vault to find a great performance: The Divinyls with a live performance of "Boys In Town". Enjoy.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
The Divinyls' Christina Amphlett is the most dynamic live female performer Australia has ever produced, let alone sent out into the world. With the help of an ever changing Divinyls lineup, Amphlett and guitarist Mark McEntee have created a legacy of powerful pop records.
Amphlett's whole life seems to have pointed towards a lifetime in music. After running away from home to follow her favorite group, at 14 Amphlett joined her first band in Melbourne. In 1971 she turned up in Sydney as one of the featured singers in One Ton Gypsy, an ambitious country rock band. At 17 she left Australia to travel alone through Europe, spending some time living on the streets of Paris, and at one point ending up in a Spanish jail for busking.
Back in Sydney, Amphlett joined a church choir, purely to develop the upper register of her voice. During one choir performance, her stool fell over and became tangled up in her microphone chord. Watching her drag the stool across the stage while continuing to sing was Mark McEntee, so enamoured by her performance he decided he had to meet this girl. It was the start of a long and robust professional relationship.
In December of 1980 they started performing in the sleazy bars of Sydney with a Divinyls lineup made up of musicians who all had long histories in Australian rock & roll without achieving mainstream success, apart from bassist Jeremy Paul who was in the original lineup of Air Supply. They had only just started performing live when the group was spotted by film director Ken Cameron who was looking for a group to appear in his film Monkey Grip. Cameron was so impressed by Amphlett he invented a small speaking part for her. What he also hadn't imagined was finding a group capable of providing the movie with a soundtrack.
The single from the soundtrack mini-album, "Boys in a Town," came with an eye-catching video of Christina Amphlett at her provocative best, dressed in a school uniform and fishnet stockings, filmed from below as she performed on top of a metal grill. It was an image that would stay with the Divinyls for a long time. The single made the Australian Top Ten. Jeremy Paul left on the eve of the single's release and was replaced by Richard Grossman (later of Hoodoo Gurus).
With a one-of deal for Monkey Grip, the Divinyls were in a position to take advantage of the record company offers that flooded their way. With just one hit to their credit the Divinyls were able to sign a worldwide deal with Chrysalis. In a defining moment, Chrysalis offered to fix Christina Amphlett's protruding teeth, and the singer refused. She was what she was. Their debut album, Desperate, was recorded in New York with Australian producer Mark Opitz.
While the group toured the world extensively in the years that followed, the lineup kept changing around the Amphlett-McEntee team. As well as musicians, the Divinyls have had a habit of losing managers and record companies. The group's output on record has been hindered by the struggle to get all the pieces together long enough to release albums. 1985's What a Life album took three producers to complete. Frustrating for all those concerned, the wait between releases might also have contributed to the group's longevity.
In 1991, the Divinyls stirred up a storm again with the song "I Touch Myself" and a video with a tied-up Amphlett back in fishnets. The ensuring controversy helped make the song a huge hit around the world: number one in Australia, Top Ten in America. By now there was no pretence of a "group" and the Divinyls' duo toured on the back of their hit with the help of session musicians.
In recent years Amphlett has also indulged her talent for acting with her starring role in the Australian production of Blood Brothers and her stand-out portrayal of Judy Garland in the Peter Allen-inspired musical The Boy From Oz.

Sam Levin and Mark Dwight give us a tour of the Rickshaw Bagworks factory and we get a bag made from scratch!
Rickshaw Bagworks was founded by Mark Dwight, who used to work for Timbuk 2 Bags. Until now, I used a Tumbuk 2. No Longer. This bag is by far the best bag I've ever owned.
First off, the looks: you can choose your design from the many fabrics they have in the factory or you can bring a piece of your own fabric in and they will make the bag for you out of that! (It needs to be upholstery fabric though, otherwise it wont' be durable enough for a quality bag)
More important than the looks, the bags are lined with a waterproof rubber like material so if you spill beer or soda inside, just wipe it clean. Also, the bottom of the bag is also waterproof so if you spill beer on the floor and drunkenly sit your bag down in the spill, the bag is safe.
The fabric on my bag is material used to make sails on sailboats so it is rain and beer resistant as well.
Rickshaw bags are locally made in San Francisco, CA. If you are in the area, you can go right in the factory, pick out your fabric, go have a cup of coffee or a beer and come back in 20 minutes and your custom bag will be ready for you.
On this show I play a douchebag clip of the week, a show review of Stryper at the House of Blues in Anaheim, Ca, do a little rock news, play some good tunes and get the hell out.

Welcome to another episode of the Hairbanger's Ball. This week Butler keeps a promise to intern Scott for some musical schooling. Butler delves deep into the vault to pull out a classic performance from Wendy O. Williams and The Plasmatics. Here is "Butcher Baby".
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
At a time (the late '70s and early '80s) and a place (the New York punk scene) where shocking the audience was often the order of the day, few bands had a greater gift for cultivating outrage than the Plasmatics. During the group's heyday, a Plasmatics show could include anything from lead singer Wendy O. Williams covered in shaving cream and electrical tape while brandishing a chain saw as blue-haired Richie Stotts attacked his guitar in drag, to the destruction of televisions, electric guitars, automobiles, and other consumer goods. Plenty of punk bands of the time courted controversy, but the Plasmatics took it a step further; they were banned in several major cities (most notably London) and Williams stood trial for obscenity in a celebrated 1981 court case in Milwaukee, but the band also helped bring punk to the heartland through their crazed stage shows, frequent television appearances, and a prescient fusion of punk velocity with heavy metal guitar power. The Plasmatics were formed in 1977 by Williams and Rod Swenson, a self-described "anti-artist" who met her when she answered a casting call for Captain Kink, an experimental theater for adults Swenson ran in the middle of the Times Square district. Fascinated by New York's burgeoning punk scene and enamored of Wendy's fearless stage presence, Swenson assembled a band around Williams, featuring lead guitarist Stotts, rhythm guitarist Wes Beech, bassist Chosei Funahara, and drummer Stu Deutsch. The Plasmatics made their live debut on-stage at CBGB in 1978, and their wildly destructive stage show soon made them the talk of the town. By 1979, the band was headlining shows along the East Coast and they sold out the New York Palladium, the first band to do so without the benefit of a major record deal. (The Plasmatics were also the first band to blow up a car on the Palladium's stage.) In 1980, the group signed a deal with the legendary British label Stiff Records, which released their debut album, New Hope for the Wretched, produced by Swenson, Ed Stasium, and Jimmy Miller; by this time, Jean Beauvior had taken over on bass from Funahara. Shortly after the album's release, the Plasmatics flew to London to make their British debut only to discover the show has been shut down by civic authorities; the group received a more friendly welcome on their subsequent North American tour, which featured a number of sold-out dates. However, in January 1981 Williams was arrested following a show in Milwaukee, WI, for obscenity, with the police claiming Williams had performed a lewd act on stage with a sledgehammer. Williams was also severely beaten by police following the arrest, with the officers claiming she had tried to attack them. A few days later, Williams was arrested for obscenity again in Cleveland, OH; in time, she would be cleared of all charges in both cities, but the press attention helped boost the group's already notorious public profile. Later that year the Plasmatics recorded their second LP, Beyond the Valley of 1984, which featured former Alice Cooper drummer Neal Smith behind the traps following the departure of Stu Deutsch. The band continued to tour heavily and appeared on a number of popular television shows, including Fridays, SCTV, and Tomorrow. Late in 1981, the Plasmatics released an EP, Metal Priestess, which took the heavy metal undertow of the group's earlier work and brought it to the surface; the new musical direction attracted the attention of A&R men at Capitol Records, who signed the Plasmatics to a major-label deal. Coup d'Etat was recorded in Germany with producer Dieter Dirks and featured another new lineup of the group -- Williams, Stotts, Beech, bassist Chris Romanelli, and drummer T.C. Tolliver. However, Capitol's promotion of the album was half-hearted at best, and rather than continue working with a label that didn't believe in the group, Williams and Swenson decided to make their next project a Wendy O. Williams solo effort. 1984's WOW featured Beech and Tolliver alongside a crew of players assembled by producer Gene Simmons, including several fellow members of Kiss. Williams's second "solo" effort, 1986's Kommander of Kaos, was another metal-oriented effort; Stotts was gone, with Michael Ray and Greg Smith signing on as guitarist and bassist. The Plasmatics name was resurrected for a final album in 1987 -- Maggots: The Record, a concept piece concerning environmental abuse and consumer culture gone mad -- which featured much of the Kommander of Kaos band accompanied by a handful of session players and backing vocalists. Swenson and Williams folded the Plasmatics following a tour in support of Maggots, and after cutting a hip-hop-oriented album, 1988's Deffest! and Baddest! under the name Ultrafly and the Hometown Girls, Williams retired from music. Williams and Swenson remained a couple until she took her own life on April 6, 1998.

• ❑ Jetboy issues statement on musician departures Veteran glam rockers JETBOY have released the following statement:
“It is with regret that Jetboy announces the departure of both Doug Hovan (percussion) and Michael Butler (bass) from the band’s lineup.
“Following the completion of the band’s most recent EP, ‘Off Your Rocker’, and its pending release, the band entered a phase of intense introspection regarding band members’ roles, chemistry, and dedication to providing Jetboy fans with the most professional product possible. Through this process, original members Mickey Finn, Billy Rowe and Fernie Rod, in conjunction with management, made difficult decisions regarding Jetboy’s direction and ability to perform at a consistently professional level. Difficult decisions were made that resulted in Doug Hovan’s voluntary departure and Michael Butler’s much-publicized on-air dismissal during the recent ‘Good Clean Fun’ podcast .
“Jetboy wishes to assure fans that while the podcast may have presented the split in a light that was less that friendly, the parties have since worked out their differences and the split was best for all involved. In addition, Billy Rowe will continue to perform with THE BUTLERS and Michael Butler, further displaying that the parties continue to have a positive working and personal relationship.
“Jetboy wishes nothing but the best and future success to both Doug and Michael, and want to assure fans that the core of Jetboy remains the same, and that the music that has been embraced by their fan base will not change.
“Jetboy is currently in the midst of negotiations for distribution of the new EP and will announce further details about the release as soon as they become available.”
A rock documentary film on Jetboy is in the preliminary stages of being shot by Reality Check TV, which also produced the “mini-doc” included in Jetboy’s last CD/DVD release, “The Glam Years”, on Cleopatra/Deadline Records.
“The Glam Years” contained a DVD of a 1986 concert at Los Angeles’ legendary Whisky a Go-Go (featuring a chock-full of extra interviews and photos) as well as a 21-track CD of the group’s greatest hits.

Michael Butler is back with another gem from Butler's Vaults. This week in honor of all of the hoopla surrounding Aerosmith, we have a liver performance of "Draw The Line" from 1977.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Aerosmith was one of the most popular hard rock bands of the '70s, setting the style and sound of hard rock and heavy metal for the next two decades with their raunchy, bluesy swagger. The Boston-based quintet found the middle ground between the menace of the Rolling Stones and the campy, sleazy flamboyance of the New York Dolls, developing a lean, dirty riff-oriented boogie that was loose and swinging and as hard as a diamond.
In the meantime, they developed a prototype for power ballads with "Dream On," a piano ballad that was orchestrated with strings and distorted guitars. Aerosmith's ability to pull off both ballads and rock & roll made them extremely popular during the mid-'70s, when they had a string of gold and platinum albums. By the early '80s, the group's audience had declined as the band fell prey to drug and alcohol abuse. However, their career was far from over — in the late '80s, Aerosmith pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks in rock history, returning to the top of the charts with a group of albums that equalled, if not surpassed, the popularity of their '70s albums.
In 1970, the first incarnation of Aerosmith formed when vocalist Steven Tyler met guitarist Joe Perry while working at a Sunapee, NH, ice cream parlor. Tyler, who originally was a drummer, and Perry decided to form a power trio with bassist Tom Hamilton. The group soon expanded to a quartet, adding a second guitarist called Ray Tabano; he was quickly replaced by Brad Whitford, a former member of Earth Inc. With the addition of drummer Joey Kramer, Tyler became the full-time lead singer by the end of year. Aerosmith relocated to Boston at the end of 1970.
After playing clubs in the Massachusetts and New York areas for two years, the group landed a record contract with Columbia Records in 1972. Aerosmith's self-titled debut album was released in the fall of 1973, climbing to number 166. "Dream On" was released as the first single and it was a minor hit, reaching number 59. For the next year, the band built a fan base by touring America, supporting groups as diverse as the Kinks, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Sha Na Na, and Mott the Hoople. The performance of Get Your Wings (1974), the group's second album and the first produced by Jack Douglas, benefited from their constant touring, spending a total of 86 weeks on the chart.
Aerosmith's third record, 1975's Toys in the Attic, was their breakthrough album both commercially and artistically. By the time it was recorded, the band's sound had developed into a sleek, hard-driving hard rock powered by simple, almost brutal, blues-based riffs. Many critics at the time labeled the group as punk rockers, and it's easy to see why — instead of adhering to the world-music pretensions of Led Zeppelin or the prolonged gloomy mysticism of Black Sabbath, Aerosmith stripped heavy metal to its basic core, spitting out spare riffs that not only rocked, but rolled. Steven Tyler's lyrics were filled with double entendres and clever jokes, and the entire band had a streetwise charisma that separated them from the heavy, lumbering arena rockers of the era. Toys in the Attic captured the essence of the newly invigorated Aerosmith. "Sweet Emotion," the first single from Toys in the Attic, broke into the Top 40 in the summer of 1975, with the album reaching number 11 shortly afterward. Its success prompted the re-release of the power ballad "Dream On," which shot into the Top Ten in early 1976. Both Aerosmith and Get Your Wings climbed back up the charts in the wake of Toys in the Attic. "Walk This Way," the final single from Toys in the Attic, was released around the time of the group's new 1976 album, Rocks. Although it didn't feature a Top Ten hit like "Walk This Way," Rocks went platinum quickly, peaking at number three.
In early 1977, Aerosmith took a break and prepared material for their fifth album. Released late in 1977, Draw the Line was another hit, climbing to number 11 on the U.S. charts, but it showed signs of exhaustion. In addition to another tour in 1978, the band appeared in the movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, performing "Come Together," which eventually became a number 23 hit. Live! Bootleg appeared late in 1978 and became another success, reaching number 13. Aerosmith recorded Night in the Ruts in 1979, releasing the record at the end of the year. By the time of its release, Joe Perry had left the band to form the Joe Perry Project. Night in the Ruts performed respectably, climbing to number 14 and going gold, yet it was the least successful Aerosmith record to date. Brad Whitford left the group in early 1980, forming the Whitsford-St. Holmes Band with former Ted Nugent guitarist Derek St. Holmes.
As Aerosmith regrouped with new guitarists Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay, the band released Aerosmith's Greatest Hits in late 1980; the record would eventually sell over six million copies. The new lineup of Aerosmith released Rock in a Hard Place in 1982. Peaking at number 32, it failed to match the performance of Night in the Ruts. Perry and Whitford returned to the band in 1984 and the group began a reunion tour dubbed Back in the Saddle. Early in the tour, Tyler collapsed on-stage, offering proof that the band hadn't conquered their notorious drug and alcohol addictions. The following year, Aerosmith released Done with Mirrors, the original lineup's first record since 1979 and their first for Geffen Records. Although it didn't perform as well as Rock in a Hard Place, the album showed that the band was revitalized.
After the release of Done with Mirrors, Tyler and Perry completed rehabilitation programs. In 1986, the pair appeared on Run-D.M.C.'s cover of "Walk This Way," along with appearing in the video. "Walk This Way" became a hit, reaching number four and receiving saturation airplay on MTV. "Walk This Way" set the stage for the band's full-scale comeback effort, the Bruce Fairbairn-produced Permanent Vacation (1987). Tyler and Perry collaborated with professional hard rock songwriters like Holly Knight and Desmond Child, resulting in the hits "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)," "Rag Doll," and "Angel." Permanent Vacation peaked at number 11 and sold over three million copies.
Pump, released in 1989, continued the band's winning streak, reaching number five, selling over four million copies, and spawning the Top Ten singles "Love in an Elevator," "Janie's Got a Gun," and "What It Takes." Aerosmith released Get a Grip in 1993. Like Permanent Vacation and Pump, Get a Grip was produced by Bruce Fairbairn and featured significant contributions by professional songwriters. The album was as successful as the band's previous two records, featuring the hit singles "Livin' on the Edge," "Cryin'," and "Amazing." In 1994, Aerosmith released Big Ones, a compilation of hits from their Geffen years that fulfilled their contract with the label; it went double platinum shortly after its release.
While Aerosmith was at the height of their revitalized popularity in the early '90s, the group signed a lucrative multi-million dollar contract with Columbia Records, even though they still owed Geffen two albums. It wasn't until 1995 that the band was able to begin working on their first record under the new contract — nearly five years after the contract was signed. The making of Aerosmith albums usually had been difficult affairs, but the recording of Nine Lives was plagued with bad luck. The band went through a number of producers and songwriters before settling on Kevin Shirley in 1996. More damaging, however, was the dismissal of the band's manager, Tim Collins, who'd been responsible for bringing the band back from the brink of addiction. Upon his firing, Collins insinuated that Steven Tyler was using hard drugs again, an allegation that Aerosmith adamantly denied.
Under such circumstances, recording became quite difficult, and when Nine Lives finally appeared in the spring of 1997, it was greeted with great anticipation, yet the initial reviews were mixed and even though album debuted at number one, it quickly fell down the charts. The live A Little South of Sanity followed in 1998. Three years later, Aerosmith strutted their stuff on the Super Bowl halftime special on CBS with the likes of Mary J. Blige, Nelly, *N Sync, and Britney Spears, just prior to issuing their heart-stomping Just Push Play in March 2001. Next up for the band was a blues album, Honkin' on Bobo, released in 2004, along with two live album/DVDs, You Gotta Move and Rockin' the Joint. Another greatest-hits collection, Devil's Got a New Disguise: The Very Best of Aerosmith arrived in 2006.

On this show I mourn the news about Steven Tyler supposedly quitting Aerosmith, something I predicted would happen during the recent tour. And to mourn this, I play some of my favorite Aerosmith tunes.
According to The Las Vegas Sun:
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry said today that singer Steven Tyler quit the band following a recent concert in Abu Dhabi.
Bassist Tom Hamilton told the Boston Herald’s Inside Track that there is dissension among the “Bad Boys From Boston,” but that he hopes things can be worked out. He dismissed a report that guitarist Brad Whitford discussed the possiblity of Aerosmith finding a new frontman.
However, Perry told the Las Vegas Sun today that he believes Tyler is history.
“Steven quit as far as I can tell,” Perry said from his Boston home. “I don’t know anymore than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.”
Part of the problem, he says, is that Tyler doesn’t return his phone calls.
“He’s notorious for that,” Perry said. “That’s one thing I’ve learned to live with. I try to overlook it. I like to pick my battles. Frankly, the last few months I’ve been wanting not to rock the boat. I don’t want him canceling any more gigs. We really wanted to do these last four. We just kind of didn’t want to call him out or anything and get him anymore pissed off, for whatever reason. So we just let things lie. So we did the gigs and, like I said, I got off the plane and saw this online. That’s how I know about it.”
Perry will perform his Joe Perry Project Nov. 28 at the Las Vegas House of Blues, performing from his latest release “Have Guitar, Will Travel.”
Most of Aerosmith’s recent world tour was canceled in August after Tyler fell from the stage at a Sturgis, S.D., concert and broke his shoulder. The band members were unhappy with Tyler over the incident. However, Aerosmith salvaged the final leg of the tour, including two shows in Hawaii and one Sunday at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix before more than 50,000 fans.
After the Middle Eastern concert the band parted ways with Perry going to London to attend the Classic Rock & Roll of Honour awards ceremony on Monday. Perry said he arrived home in Boston on Wednesday and read on the Internet that Tyler planned to leave the band.
“He has had no contact with me or the other band members,” Perry said.
He says he hopes to keep Aerosmith together, with or without Tyler, but he was so stunned by recent developments he doesn’t know what’s going to happen.
“Right now I’m adjusting to how we’re going to go on,” Perry says. “Aerosmith is such a powerful band, I mean it’s like a steam locomotive. You just can’t disregard 40 years of four guys who play together as well as they do. We’re just trying to – at least I am – trying to figure out what direction the band should take.
“As far as replacing Steve, it’s not just about that, it’s also four guys that play extremely well together, and I’m not going to see that go to waste. I really don’t know what path it’s going to take at this point, but we’ll probably find somebody else that will sing in those spots where we need a singer and then we’ll be able to move the Aerosmith up a notch, move the vibe up a notch.”
Perry believes Tyler has been planning on leaving for a while.
“Obviously he hasn’t been giving 100 percent to this thing for a long time,” Perry said. “He’s obviously had this planned for a long time. To disregard his brothers to the point where we have to find out about it on the Internet – it’s like, 'See you later, Bud.’ I still care for him as a person, or at least the person I used to know. But things change.”
Aerosmith rose to popularity in the ’70s with a combination of hard rock and power ballads only to be derailed by drug and alcohol abuse. After Tyler completed rehab in 1986, the band rose to prominence again. There were rumors last year that Tyler had checked back into rehab after more than 20 years of sobriety.
Perry himself left the band for two years in 1979. While he was away he created the solo Joe Perry Project, which has now released five albums.
“The circumstances were different then,” Perry said. “We’d been touring pretty much nonstop for eight years and the band was just pretty much burned out on each other. We needed a break. We needed to take a vacation but blood was running so hot I just had to leave, had to get out of there. But I certainly wasn’t going to stop playing so I put out a solo project.”

All Music Guide Review of No Place To Run:
The first studio recording after the departure of guitarist Michael Schenker, No Place to Run set into motion UFO's critical and commercial decline. While only a slight adjustment to the band's successful hard rock formula, the midtempo guitar rock bore much more of a resemblance to fading '70s rockers like Bad Company than the coming NWOBHM. Fellow Brits like Def Leppard were cultivating a similar but much more exciting brand of simple, angular hard rock built for the millions of AC/DC-loving Americans, while UFO seemed to be chasing their stylistic tail. Louder and way more energetic, Def Leppard were poised to overtake the rock universe while UFO languished on No Place to Run. Tracks like "This Fire Burns Tonight" call to mind Jackson Brown-styled adult rock; meanwhile, any audience UFO might have built up over the harder-edged Schenker years was fleeing to acts like the Scorpions and Judas Priest, who were only getting heavier. To call No Place to Run a middle-of-the-road miscalculation would be generous. The disc had already aged badly when it was released and that hasn't changed in the decades since.

It's Friday again, and time for another episode of the Hairbanger's Ball. We have a special treat this week in celebration of Halloween: an ultra performance from Alice Cooper from 1972. We have a set from Alice that was shot in Paris for a French TV show. Enjoy.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Originally, there was a band called Alice Cooper led by a singer named Vincent Damon Furnier. Under his direction, Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, heavy metal, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood, and huge boa constrictors, all coordinated by the heavily made-up Furnier. By that time, Furnier had adopted the name for his androgynous on-stage personality. While the visuals were extremely important to the group's impact, the band's music was nearly as distinctive. Driven by raw, simple riffs and melodies that derived from '60s guitar pop as well as show tunes, it was rock & roll at its most basic and catchy, even when the band ventured into psychedelia and art rock. After the original group broke up and Furnier began a solo career as Alice Cooper, his actual music lost most of its theatrical flourishes, becoming straightforward heavy metal, yet his stage show retained all of the trademark props that made him the king of shock rock.
Furnier formed his first group, the Earwigs, as an Arizona teenager in the early '60s. Changing the band's name to the Spiders in 1965, the group was eventually called the Nazz (not to be confused with Todd Rundgren's band of the same name). The Spiders and the Nazz both released local singles that were moderately popular. In 1968, after discovering there was another band called with the same name, the group changed its name to Alice Cooper. According to band legend, the name came to Furnier during a ouija board session, where he was told he was the reincarnation of a 17th century witch of the same name. Comprised of vocalist Furnier -- who would soon begin calling himself Alice Cooper -- guitarist Mike Bruce, guitarist Glen Buxton, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neal Smith, the group moved to California in 1968. In California, the group met Shep Gordon, who became their manager, and Frank Zappa, who signed Alice Cooper to his Straight Records imprint.
Alice Cooper released their first album, Pretties for You, in 1969. Easy Action followed early in 1970, yet it failed to chart. The group's reputation in Los Angeles was slowly shrinking, so the band moved to Furnier's hometown of Detroit. For the next year, the group refined their bizarre stage show. Late in 1970, the group's contract was transferred to Straight's distributor Warner Bros., and they began recording their third album with producer Bob Ezrin. With Ezrin's assistance, Alice Cooper developed their classic heavy metal crunch on 1971's Love It to Death, which featured the number 21 hit single "Eighteen"; the album peaked at number 35 and went gold. The success enabled the group to develop a more impressive, elaborate live show, which made them highly popular concert attractions across the U.S. and eventually the U.K. Killer, released late in 1971, was another gold album.
Released in the summer of 1972, School's Out was Alice Cooper's breakthrough record, peaking at number two and selling over a million copies. The title song became a Top Ten hit in the U.S. and a number one single in the U.K. Billion Dollar Babies, released the following year, was the group's biggest hit, reaching number one in both America and Britain; the album's first single, "No More Mr. Nice Guy," became a Top Ten hit in Britain, peaking at number 25 in the U.S. Muscle of Love appeared late in 1973, yet it failed to capitalize on the success of Billion Dollar Babies. After Muscle of Love, Furnier and the rest of Alice Cooper parted ways to pursue other projects. Having officially changed his name to Alice Cooper, Furnier embarked on a similarly theatrical solo career; the rest of the band released one unsuccessful album under the name Billion Dollar Babies, while Mike Bruce and Neal Smith both recorded solo albums that were never issued. In the fall of 1974, a compilation of Alice Cooper's five Warner albums, entitled Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits, became a Top Ten hit.
For his first solo album, Cooper hired Lou Reed's backing band from Rock 'N' Roll Animal -- guitarists Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter, bassist Prakash John, keyboardist Joseph Chrowski, and drummer Penti Glan -- as his supporting group. Welcome to My Nightmare, Alice Cooper's first solo album, was released in the spring of 1975. The record wasn't a great departure from his previous work, and it became a Top Ten hit in America, launching the hit acoustic ballad "Only Women Bleed"; its success put an end to any idea of reconvening Alice Cooper the band. Its follow-up, 1976's Alice Cooper Goes to Hell, was another hit, going gold in the U.S. After Alice Cooper Goes to Hell, Cooper's career began to slip, partially due to changing trends and partially due to his alcoholism. Cooper entered rehabilitation in 1978, writing an album about his treatment called From the Inside (1978) with Bernie Taupin, Elton John's lyricist. During the early '80s, Cooper continued to release albums and tour, yet he was no longer as popular as he was during his early-'70s heyday.
Cooper made a successful comeback in the late '80s, sparked by his appearances in horror films and a series of pop-metal bands that paid musical homage to his classic early records and concerts. Constrictor, released in 1986, began his comeback, but it was 1989's Trash that returned Cooper to the spotlight. Produced by the proven hitmaker Desmond Child, Trash featured guest appearances by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and most of Aerosmith; the record became a Top Ten hit in Britain and peaked at number 20 in the U.S., going platinum. "Poison," a midtempo rocker featured on the album, became Cooper's first Top Ten single since 1977. After the release of Trash, he continued to star in the occasional film, tour, and record, although he wasn't able to retain the audience recaptured with Trash. Still, 1991's Hey Stoopid and 1994's The Last Temptation were generally solid, professional efforts that helped Cooper settle into a comfortable cult status without damaging the critical goodwill surrounding his '70s output. After a live album, 1997's Fistful of Alice, Cooper returned on the smaller Spitfire label in 2000 with Brutal Planet and Dragontown a year later. The Eyes of Alice Cooper appeared in 2003 and found Alice and company playing a more stripped-down brand of near-garage rock. Dirty Diamonds from 2005 was nearly as raw and hit the streets around the same time Alice premiered his syndicated radio show, Nights with Alice Cooper. Three years later he would return with Along Came a Spider, a concept album that told the story of a spider-obsessed serial killer.

Welcome to another episode of the Hairbanger's Ball. This week we delve deep into the vault and find a performance from the original riot grrls: The Runaways. In this clip we see a post-Cherie Currie version of the group singing "School Days" off their album "Waitin' For The Night".
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Dismissed during their existence as a crass marketing gimmick, the Runaways have grown in stature over the years as the first all-female band to make a substantial impression on the public by playing loud, straight-up, guitar-driven rock & roll. Since all of the members were teenagers (some of whom were still learning to play their instruments when they passed their auditions), their music was frequently raw and amateurish, but it neatly combined American heavy metal (think Aerosmith and Kiss) with the newly emerging sound of punk rock. In the media, the Runaways were victims of their own hype, supplied by maverick promoter/manager Kim Fowley. Fowley's insistence on a sleazy jailbait image for the group made it easy for the press to dismiss them as nothing but a tasteless adolescent fantasy -- an impression bolstered at the time by the admittedly erratic quality of their music. But in the end, the Runaways' sound and attitude proved crucially important in paving the way for female artists to crank up the volume on their guitars and rock as hard as the boys; plus, they produced one undeniably classic single in the rebel-girl manifesto "Cherry Bomb."
The genesis of the Runaways can be traced to a 1975 Alice Cooper party at which Fowley met teenage lyricist Kari Krome. Fowley was impressed with Krome's streetwise perspective and set about putting together a band. Krome's friend, guitarist Joan Jett (born Joan Larkin), had been putting together a band with drummer Sandy West (born Sandy Pesavento), and Fowley quickly had a trio on his hands. However, it soon became apparent that Krome was not much of a singer, and she was replaced by vocalist Michael "Micki" Steele (born Sue Thomas), who also began learning the bass. As a trio, this lineup recorded a demo titled Born to Be Bad in late 1975; shortly thereafter, guitarist Lita Ford successfully auditioned through a trade-paper ad, and Steele left the group (she would later join the Bangles). Cherie Currie became the new lead vocalist, and after an extremely brief stint with a bass player known only as Peggy (which lasted just a few weeks), the band settled on Jackie Fox (born Jacqueline Fuchs), who switched to bass from guitar in order to join the band.
Thus constituted as an entirely teenaged quintet, it didn't take long for the Runaways to score a record deal; Currie's stage wardrobe (lingerie) and Fowley's well-established contacts made sure of that. After signing with Mercury in February 1976, the band began recording their self-titled debut album, which was released just a few months later. However, it was not greeted well. Fowley was preceded by his reputation for overhyping gimmicky acts, and the sheer number of roles he played in guiding the Runaways' career made him appear a manipulative, Svengali-like figure. Moreover, regardless of whether or not the Runaways were simply a cheap exploitation act (an endlessly debatable question), the entire concept of the band -- teenage girls playing their own instruments and singing frankly and enthusiastically about sex, booze, and life on the streets -- was simply too discomforting for much of America. Fowley's extensive involvement (some called it near-total control) made it easy for journalists and radio programmers to dismiss the group out of hand as a male-concocted sham; it was also a convenient way to ignore the myriad cultural buttons the Runaways were pushing.
Despite a wave of publicity on Fowley's part, The Runaways just barely scraped the bottom of the charts in the early fall of 1976, around the same time the band played their first gig at the legendary New York punk club CBGB's. The second Runaways album, Queens of Noise, was released in early 1977 and fared little better on the charts than its predecessor, thanks to radio's continued reluctance to program the group's music. However, when the Runaways mounted a tour of Japan in June of that year, they were greeted with sold-out arena gigs and rabidly enthusiastic audiences who didn't consider them a joke ("Cherry Bomb" had, in fact, topped the Japanese charts). A concert record, Live in Japan, was culled from the tour, but wasn't released in the U.S.
Despite this taste of success, relationships between some of the group members had begun to fray, thanks partly to substance abuse problems and partly to unconcerned negligence on the management's part. Upon their return to Los Angeles in July 1977, Jackie Fox departed the group; a story circulated that she had attempted suicide on the Japanese tour, though it was later discredited. Before the year was out, Currie too had left, spurred in part by consistent disagreements with Fowley. Jett took over as lead vocalist, and new bassist Vicki Blue was hired for the group's third album. Waiting for the Night was released at the end of the year, and failed to even hit the U.S. charts. By this point, Fowley had lost interest in the band, and quit as manager early the next year. Jett's unofficial leadership role within the group became more serious, but unfortunately, musical differences were beginning to arise (Jett's punk and glam rock influences clashed with West and Ford's love of straight-up hard rock and heavy metal). One more album, And Now...The Runaways, appeared toward the end of 1978, but it was released only in the group's core markets of Europe and Japan (it later appeared in America with a different running order under the title Little Lost Girls). Blue quit the band after their New Year's gig and was replaced by Laurie McAllister, but to no avail; Jett left the group in April 1979, and the Runaways officially disbanded not long after.
Currie released a solo album in 1978 titled Beauty's Only Skin Deep, and then teamed up with her twin sister Marie for 1980's Messin' With the Boys. Jackie Fox went to law school and became an attorney. West and Ford formed a short-lived outfit of their own, after which Ford went solo and scored several hits as a pop-metal artist during the '80s. But an even better indicator that there was more to the Runaways' music than met the eye was the success of Joan Jett's solo career. Jett formed her own band and record label, landed an enormous number one smash with 1982's "I Love Rock n' Roll," and continued to produce albums of tough hard rock into the '90s. The heavily feminist riot grrrl punk movement claimed Jett as a major inspiration, prompting a re-examination of the Runaways' output divorced from Kim Fowley's marketing tactics. Rumors of a full-band reunion surfaced periodically through the rest of the '90s, though none has yet materialized.

Butler is back with another gem from the vault. This week we have a classic performance from AC/DC of one of their first US TV performances on the Midnight Special. Here they are singing "Sin City", enjoy.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
AC/DC's mammoth power chord roar became one of the most influential hard rock sounds of the '70s. In its own way, it was a reaction against the pompous art rock and lumbering arena rock of the early '70s. AC/DC's rock was minimalist — no matter how huge and bludgeoning the guitar chords were, there was a clear sense of space and restraint. Combined with Bon Scott's larynx-shredding vocals, the band spawned countless imitators over the next two decades. AC/DC were formed in 1973 in Australia by guitarist Malcolm Young after his band, the Velvet Underground, collapsed (Young's band has no relation to the seminal American group). With his younger brother Angus as lead guitarist, the band played some gigs around Sydney. Angus was only 15 years old at the time and his sister suggested that he should wear his school uniform on-stage; the look became the band's visual trademark. While still in Sydney, the original lineup featuring singer Dave Evans cut a single called "Can I Sit Next to You," with ex-Easybeats Harry Vanda and George Young (Malcolm and Angus' older brother) producing.
The band moved to Melbourne the following year, where drummer Phil Rudd (formerly of the Coloured Balls) and bassist Mark Evans joined the band. The band's chauffeur, Bon Scott, became the lead vocalist when singer Dave Evans refused to go on-stage. Previously, Scott had been vocalist for the Australian prog rock bands Fraternity and the Valentines. More importantly, he helped cement the group's image as brutes — he had several convictions on minor criminal offenses and was rejected by the Australian Army for being "socially maladjusted." And AC/DC were socially maladjusted. Throughout their career they favored crude double entendres and violent imagery, all spiked with a mischievous sense of fun.
The group released two albums — High Voltage and TNT — in Australia in 1974 and 1975. Material from the two records comprised the 1976 release High Voltage in the U.S. and U.K.; the group also toured both countries. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap followed at the end of the year. Mark Evans left the band at the beginning of 1977, with Cliff Williams taking his place. In the fall of 1977, AC/DC released Let There Be Rock, which became their first album to chart in the U.S. Powerage, released in spring of 1978, expanded their audience even further, thanks in no small part to their dynamic live shows (which were captured on 1978's live If You Want Blood You've Got It). What really broke the doors down for the band was the following year's Highway to Hell, which hit number 17 in the U.S. and number eight in the U.K., becoming the group's first million-seller.
AC/DC's train was derailed when Bon Scott died on February 20, 1980. The official coroner's report stated he had "drunk himself to death." In March, the band replaced Scott with Brian Johnson. The following month, the band recorded Back in Black, which would prove to be its biggest album, selling over ten million copies in the U.S. alone. For the next few years, the band was one of the largest rock bands in the world, with For Those About to Rock We Salute You topping the charts in the U.S. In 1982, Rudd left the band; he was replaced by Simon Wright.
After 1983's Flick of the Switch, AC/DC's commercial standing began to slip; they were able to reverse their slide with 1990's The Razor's Edge, which spawned the hit "Thunderstruck." While not the commercial powerhouse they were during the late '70s and early '80s, the '90s saw them maintain their status as a top international concert draw. In the fall of 1995, their 16th album, Ballbreaker, was released. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album received some of the most positive reviews of AC/DC's career. Ballbreaker entered the American charts at number four and sold over a million copies in its first six months of release. Stiff Upper Lip followed in early 2000 with similar results. The group signed a multi-album deal with Sony the following year that resulted in a slew of reissues and DVDs. The band returned to the studio in 2008 for Black Ice, an all-new collection of songs that was followed by the group's first world tour since 2001.

Welcome to the weekend. Grab a beer and throw the devil horns in the air, cause Michael Butler is back with a new edition of Hairbanger's Ball. This week we didn't plumb the depths of the Vault to find this weeks video, but a fan of the show send a video. Dennis from Australia sent in a rare live performance from Cheap Trick from back in 1988. Enjoy.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Combining a love for British guitar pop songcraft with crunching power chords and a flair for the absurd, Cheap Trick provided the necessary links between '60s pop, heavy metal, and punk. Led by guitarist Rick Nielsen, the band's early albums were filled with highly melodic, well-written songs that drew equally from the crafted pop of the Beatles, the sonic assault of the Who, and the tongue-in-cheek musical eclecticism and humor of the Move. Their sound provided a blueprint for both power pop and arena rock; it also had a surprisingly long-lived effect on both alternative and heavy metal bands of the '80s and '90s, who often relied on the same combination of loud riffs and catchy melodies.
Cheap Trick's roots lie in Fuse, a late-'60s band formed by Rick Nielsen and bassist Tom Petersson in Rockford, IL. The group released an album on Epic Records in 1969; after the record failed to gain any attention, the band relocated to Philadelphia and changed their name to Sick Man of Europe. The group toured Europe unsuccessfully in 1972 and returned to Illinois in 1973. Not long after their return to Rockford, Nielsen and Petersson changed their band's name once more -- this time to Cheap Trick -- and added drummer Bun E. Carlos and vocalist Randy "Xeno" Hogan to the lineup. Hogan was fired the following year, making room for ex-folksinger Robin Zander to join the group. Between 1975 and the band's first album in 1977, Cheap Trick toured constantly, playing over 200 concerts a year while occasionally opening for the likes of the Kinks, Kiss, Santana, AC/DC, and Queen. During this time, the band built up a solid catalog of original songs that would eventually comprise their first three albums; they also perfected their kinetic live show.
Cheap Trick signed with Epic Records in 1976 and released their self-titled debut early the following year. The record sold well in America, yet it failed to chart. However, the group became a massive success in Japan, and the album went gold upon release. Later that year, the band released their second album, In Color. It backed away from the harder-rocking side of Cheap Trick, featuring slicker production and quieter arrangements that spotlighted the band's melodic skills instead. Due to their constant touring, the record made it into the U.S. charts, peaking at number 73. It became another gold-seller in Japan, however, where the musicians had become virtual superstars. Their Japanese concerts began selling out within two hours, and they packed the sizable Budokan Arena.
Cheap Trick's concerts at Budokan Arena were recorded for possible release, although the live album didn't appear until the band's third album, 1978's Heaven Tonight, was first released. That third album captured both the loud, raucous energy of Cheap Trick's debut and the hook-laden songcraft of In Color, leading to their first Top 100 single, "Surrender," which peaked at number 62. However, the live performances on At Budokan (1979) captured the band's energetic, infectious live show, resulting in their commercial breakthrough in America. The album stayed on the charts for over a year, peaking at number four and eventually selling over three million copies. Meanwhile, a live version of "I Want You to Want Me" became their first Top Ten hit. Later that year, the group released their fourth studio album, Dream Police, which followed the same stylistic approach of Heaven Tonight. It also followed At Budokan into the Top Ten, selling over a million copies and launching the Top 40 hit singles "Voices" and "Dream Police." In the summer of 1980, the group released an EP of tracks recorded between 1976-1979 called Found All the Parts.
Following the recording of the George Martin-produced All Shook Up, Petersson left the group in the summer of 1980 to form a group with his wife, Dagmar. He was replaced by Jon Brant. Released toward the end of 1980, All Shook Up performed respectably, peaking at number 24 and going gold, yet the single "Stop This Game" failed to crack the Top 40. One on One, the group's seventh album and the first recorded with Brant, appeared in 1982. Although it peaked at number 39, the record was more successful than All Shook Up, eventually going platinum. Nevertheless, the group was entering a downhill commercial slide, despite the fact that its music was becoming increasingly polished. Next Position Please, released in 1983, failed to launch a hit single and spent only 11 weeks on the charts. Standing on the Edge (1985) and The Doctor (1986) suffered similar fates, as the group was slowly losing its creative spark.
Petersson rejoined the band in 1988 and the group began working on a new record with the help of several professional songwriters. The resulting record, Lap of Luxury, was a platinum Top 20 hit, featuring the number one power ballad "The Flame" and a Top Ten version of Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel." Busted, released in 1990, wasn't as successful as Lap of Luxury, peaking at number 48 and effectively putting an end to the group's commercial comeback.
Cheap Trick soldiered into the new decade by signing with Warner Brothers in 1994 and releasing Woke Up With a Monster, which peaked at number 123 and spent two weeks on the albums chart. That same year, Epic Records released a sequel to At Budokan, aptly titled Budokan II. Compiled from the same shows as At Budokan, the record served as an an effective reminder of why the group had become so popular in the late '70s.
In 1995, Cheap Trick asked to leave Warner's roster after the label's chief executives, Lenny Waronker and Mo Ostin, departed. The band then decided to go back to the basics, and several alt.rock superstars who had been influenced by Cheap Trick gave the band opportunities to restore its reputation. The Smashing Pumpkins had the band open their tour in 1995, and the group played several dates on the 1996 Lollapalooza Tour. That same year, the box set Sex, America, Cheap Trick appeared to positive reviews, and the band signed with the fledgling indie label Red Ant-Alliance before setting to work on a new album. Early in 1997, the group released a Steve Albini-produced single on Sub Pop, which was followed by the eponymous Cheap Trick, their acclaimed debut for Red Ant-Alliance, in the spring. Unfortunately, Red Ant-Alliance filed for bankruptcy seven weeks after the album's release, sadly putting a sudden halt on the group's building momentum.
On April 30, 1998, the group launched a four-night residence in Chicago, devoting each show to reprising one of their first four albums in its entirety. Those shows later yielded a 1999 live LP, Music for Hangovers, which the musicians issued on their own Cheap Trick Unlimited label. A band-authorized hits collection followed in 2000. By the dawn of the new millennium, Cheap Trick were still without a label, but had retained their loyal following by continually touring the world. Appropriately, another live set saw the light of day in 2001. Entitled Silver, the double-disc album (and companion DVD) documented the band's star-studded, career-spanning 25th anniversary show from August 28, 1999. The band also recorded another studio album, released in 2003 as Special One. It was followed in 2006 by Rockford, named in tribute to the band's hometown, and then The Latest in 2009. Cheap Trick also maintained a heavy touring ethic, canvassing America that summer alongside Def Leppard and releasing their tribute to the Beatles' penultimate album with Sgt. Pepper Live.

About Nardwuar The Human Serviette:
Nardwuar the Human Serviette (born John Ruskin, July 5, 1968) is a Canadian celebrity interviewer and musician from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1] He is the lead singer and keyboardist for The Evaporators and plays in Thee Goblins. He is an indie-rock expert. [2]
He legally changed his name in 1986, and argues that "no one refers to Iggy Pop as 'James Osterberg'". When asked to explain his name, Nardwuar once quipped "Nardwuar equals dumb silly name, like Sting; Human means human, as in Human Fly; and Serviette is something you can't get in the U.S. because down there they're called napkins."
Nardwuar's interviews are frequently shown on MuchMusic's Going Coastal, or printed in Chart. Nardwuar's favourite targets appear to be musical celebrities, but he'll interview almost anyone famous.[4]
His interview style can be quite grating and confusing to those who have had no prior experience with him. A typical interview will begin with "Who are you?", followed by "From?" if the subject doesn't volunteer his affiliations. The interview will always end with "Keep on rockin' in the free world", and the "doot doola doot doo..." of "Shave and a Haircut", to which the interviewee must respond with the final "doot doo!" before Nardwuar will let them go. A somewhat common reply by edgy rock stars such as Courtney Love has been "Fuck you!"[5]
Due to his upfront and esoteric style he has been attacked verbally, physically threatened, and intimidated by people such as Sebastian Bach of Skid Row (who stole Nardwuar's tuque); the band Quiet Riot (who chased Nardwuar and crew down the street); and Dave Rowntree of Blur. Alice Cooper, Harlan Ellison, Beck and others have hung up on him.[6]Snoop Dogg has repeatedly stolen various items from Nardwuar, including a Redd Foxx doll and Richard Pryor and Blowfly records[7] , although Snoop claims to be 'taking' the objects in question rather than stealing them. Chris Fehn of Slipknot wouldn't talk during an interview and left during the interview after having enough of Nardwuar.
Nardwuar's unorthodox approach often ends up in bizarre scenarios. He once received Lemmy's answering machine message when Lemmy was not made aware of the interview time by his publicist. Guerrilla journalism or not, Nardwuar's style is very much based on taking the piss out of his subject. Some of his subjects recognise it and successfully manage to reverse the scenario on him, especially Iggy Pop, David Cross and "Weird Al" Yankovic. Some misinterpret his hijinks as intentionally disrespectful, particularly Henry Rollins and pornographer Al Goldstein.
More often the experience confuses the celebrities. Members of GWAR tried not to laugh while in character. Jello Biafra was impressed with his guerrilla interview style, but became noticeably angered in a 2000 interview when Nardwuar began to cajole Biafra about Biafra's lawsuit against former Dead Kennedys band mates [8]. Others who have appreciated Nardwuar's interview include Nirvana, Kelly Rowland, Marilyn Manson, Franz Ferdinand, Ron Jeremy, N.E.R.D. and Michael Moore.
Nardwuar does extensive research on the interviewee to confuse, scare or impress them; often bringing up minutia about band members' pasts that they have a hard time recalling, until he coaches them along. Frequently, he will also attempt to make connections, no matter how obscure, between the person or subject at question and Canada. A tribute to his research skills, while interviewing Josh Homme, he produced a grade school class photo of Homme mid-interview, who remained blasé yet clearly impressed.
It's Friday again and time to travel into the bowels of Butler's Vault in this weeks episode of the Hairbanger's Ball. this week we have a classic live performance by Black Oak Arkansas. Here is "Jim Dandy" from the 1974 CalJam.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Southern rock veterans Black Oak Arkansas never quite achieved the level of success enjoyed by contemporaries like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers, but have remained a cult band thanks to their raw, primitive energy and the testosterone-fueled antics of lead vocalist/showman James "Big Jim Dandy" Mangrum. Named for Mangrum's hometown, Black Oak Arkansas eventually built up a solid following through incessant touring and enjoyed a run of ten charting albums between 1971 and 1976. The band also found itself with a Top 30 single in their raunchy cover of a LaVern Baker R&B hit called "Jim Dandy to the Rescue," which became Mangrum's signature song. When album sales dried up, Mangrum re-formed the band with more musically skilled veteran players and continued to tour, although the group's glory days were past.
Black Oak Arkansas dates back to the mid-'60s, when a group of young, long-haired misfits headed by Jim Mangrum, unable to find work, turned to rock & roll. However, the group was unable to purchase equipment and ended up being arrested for grand larceny after stealing items from the local school in order to get money. They were nearly run out of town and went to live in the nearby hills, locating and borrowing equipment where they could. The band moved to New Orleans in 1969 and called itself Knowbody Else, with a lineup of vocalist Mangrum; guitarists Ricky "Ricochet" Reynolds, Stanley "Goober" Knight, and Harvey "Burley" Jett; bassist Pat Daugherty; and drummer Wayne Evans. Knowbody Else recorded a self-titled album for Stax, which went nowhere; rethinking their approach, the band became interested in psychedelia and Eastern spirituality, which they filtered through their Southern Baptist upbringing. Changing their name to Black Oak Arkansas, the band secured a deal with Atlantic after several trips to Los Angeles and released its self-titled debut in 1971. While it wasn't a hit, the band toured extensively, building a reputation as a raw, incendiary live act that made up for occasional musical deficiencies with energy and the explicit sexuality of Mangrum, who flaunted his body at every opportunity and became known for such antics as miming sex with the washboard he used for musical accompaniment. The band's second album, Keep the Faith, was a noticeable improvement, as the band had honed its sound and material through numerous live gigs; If an Angel Came to See You, Would You Make Her Feel at Home? followed the same year, featuring new drummer Tommy Aldridge, but it was 1973's Raunch 'N' Roll Live that established the group as a commercial force. That year, High on the Hog became their most commercially successful album, reaching number 52 on the charts. It was buoyed by the Top 30 cover version of "Jim Dandy to the Rescue," which featured female vocalist Ruby Starr trading innuendoes with Jim "Dandy" Mangrum. Several more albums followed before the group parted ways with Atlantic in 1976; Jett left the band in 1975 and was replaced by Starr cohort James Henderson. Lineup shifts were rampant as the group switched to MCA; Aldridge left and was replaced by Joel Williams, while the guitar/bass axis was gutted and rebuilt around Greg Reding, Jack Holder, and bassist Andy Tanas. This lineup released Race With the Devil in 1977, after the band had one last taste of success with the "Strong Enough to Be Gentle" single. Following several lackluster, straightforward Southern rock albums, the band called it quits in 1980. After recovering from a heart attack, Mangrum reunited with Reynolds in 1984 for a solo album, Ready as Hell; The Black Attack Is Back followed two years later. In 1999, BOA reunited to release The Wild Bunch.

Catholic Boy (1980) is an album by The Jim Carroll Band. Carroll was notable for publishing a memoir, The Basketball Diaries, and poetry collections including Living at the Movies.

"People Who Died," is about friends of the singers who died before their time. The front cover photograph was taken by Annie Leibovitz.

It's Friday again, and time to delve into the depths of Butler's Vault for another episode of Hairbanger's Ball. This week we have a classic from German hard rock masters The Scorpions. Here is "Speedy's Coming".
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Known best for their 1984 anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and the 1990 ballad "Wind of Change," the German rockers the Scorpions have sold over 22 million records, making them one of the most successful rock bands to ever come out of Continental Europe.
Originally formed in 1969 by Rudolf Schenker, the original lineup consisted of rhythm guitarist/vocalist Schenker, lead guitarist Karl-Heinz Follmer, bassist Lothar Heimberg, and drummer Wolfgang Dziony. In 1971, Schenker's younger brother Michael joined the band to play lead guitar and good friend Klaus Meine became the new vocalist. The group recorded Lonesome Crow in 1972, which was used as the soundtrack to the German movie Das Kalte Paradies. Although they failed to get into the public's eye, the early formation of '70s rock band UFO noticed Michael Schenker's guitar playing and hired him as their lead guitarist; Michael, therefore, would leave the band in 1973. Guitarist Uli Jon Roth replaced him, and under his guidance the group released four consecutive albums under the RCA record label: Fly to the Rainbow (1974), In Trance (1975), Virgin Killer (1976), and Taken by Force (1977). Although these albums failed to attain any serious attention in the United States, they were all quite popular in Japan. By the time Taken by Force was released, Roth made the decision to leave the band and form Electric Sun after feeling that his musical ideas would take the group in an entirely different direction. Tokyo Tapes, a double live album that the group recorded in Tokyo with Roth, was released in 1978. Shortly after Roth's departure, Michael Schenker was kicked out of UFO for his constant alcohol abuse and came back to play with the Scorpions in 1979, who had recently signed with Mercury Records. The group released Lovedrive that same year and played their first American tour, but Lovedrive failed to attract attention, being banned in the United States because of its sexually explicit cover. Still coping with his drugs and alcohol addiction, Michael missed tour dates repeatedly and guitarist Matthias Jabs was hired to fill in for him on nights when he was absent. Michael eventually would leave the band a second time after realizing that he was failing to meet their expectations.
Now with a lineup of Klaus Meine on vocals, Rudolf Schenker on rhythm guitar, Matthias Jabs on lead, Francis Buchholz on bass, and Herman Rarebell on drums, the band released Animal Magnetism in 1980 and embarked on another world tour. Surprisingly, Animal Magnetism went gold in the United States, and the Scorpions immediately went back into the studio to record their next release. Problems arose, however, and the project was postponed because Meine had lost his voice and would have to have surgery on his vocal chords. Many thought Meine had been fired from the band, and rumors spread that metal singer Don Dokken had already replaced him. The Scorpions proved these rumors untrue when Meine returned for the 1982 release Blackout, which contained the cult hit "No One Like You." A major success worldwide, Blackout sold over one-million copies in the U.S. alone. But as popular as Blackout was, it was the band's powerful follow-up, Love at First Sting, that succeeded in making them superstars. Released in 1984, the album boasted the MTV single "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and would eventually achieve double-platinum status. The group undertook one of their most successful world tours yet, boasting an outstanding stage show with high-energy performances.
After releasing World Wide Live in 1985, the band took a long hiatus and remained uninvolved from the music industry for two years. Their tenth studio album, Savage Amusement, was finally released in 1988, and the hit ballad "Rhythm of Love" brought on another major success. In 1990, the album Crazy World was released and would eventually become the Scorpions' biggest-selling record to date, drawing on the strength of the hit ballad "Wind of Change."
Not too surprisingly, Crazy World was the last successful Scorpions release in the U.S. By the time their Face the Heat album hit the shelves in 1993, many longtime fans had already lost interest in the band, due to the alternative explosion of the early '90s. Face the Heat did eventually reach gold, and in 1995 the band released another live album, Live Bites. Now with bassist Ralph Rieckermann and drummer James Kottak, they released Pure Instinct in 1996. Mercury Records assembled a double album of the band's greatest hits, Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years, and released it in 1997. Eye II Eye, an album in which the band experimented with pop-techno melodies, was released in the summer of 1999. Moment of Glory, featuring the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and several revamped versions of Scorpions cult classics, was released in fall 2000.

It's Friday, and you know what that means. It's time for another episode of the Hairbanger's Ball. In this episode we dig very deep into Butler's Vault to find a gem from the late great Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Despite a huge hit single in the mid-'70s ("The Boys Are Back in Town") and becoming a popular act with hard rock/heavy metal fans, Thin Lizzy are still, in the pantheon of '70s rock bands, underappreciated. Formed in the late '60s by Irish singer/songwriter/bassist Phil Lynott, Lizzy, though not the first band to do so, combined romanticized working-class sentiments with their ferocious, twin-lead guitar attack. As the band's creative force, Lynott was a more insightful and intelligent writer than many of his ilk, preferring slice-of-life working-class dramas of love and hate influenced by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and virtually all of the Irish literary tradition. Also, as a black man, Lynott was an anomaly in the nearly all-white world of hard rock, and as such imbued much of his work with a sense of alienation; he was the outsider, the romantic guy from the other side of the tracks, a self-styled poet of the lovelorn and downtrodden. His sweeping vision and writerly impulses at times gave way to pretentious songs aspiring to clichéd notions of literary significance, but Lynott's limitless charisma made even the most misguided moments worth hearing.
After a few early records that hinted at the band's potential, Lizzy released Fighting in 1975, and the band (Lynott, guitarists Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham, and drummer Brian Downey) had molded itself into a pretty tight recording and performing unit. Lynott's thick, soulful vocals were the perfect vehicle for his tightly written melodic lines. Gorham and Robertson generally played lead lines in harmonic tandem, while Downey (a great drummer who had equal amounts of power and style) drove the engine. Lizzy's big break came with their next album, Jailbreak, and the record's first single, "The Boys Are Back in Town." A paean to the joys of working-class guys letting loose, the song resembled similar odes by Bruce Springsteen, with the exception of the Who-like power chords in the chorus. With the support of radio and every frat boy in America, "Boys" became a huge hit, enough of a hit as to ensure record contracts and media attention for the next decade ("Boys" is now used in beer advertising).
Never the toast of critics (the majority writing in the '70s hated hard rock and heavy metal), Lizzy toured relentlessly, building an unassailable reputation as a terrific live band, despite the lead guitar spot becoming a revolving door (Eric Bell, Gary Moore, Brian Robertson, Snowy White, and John Sykes all stood next to Scott Gorham). The records came fast and furious, and despite attempts to repeat the formula that worked like a charm with "Boys," Lynott began writing more ambitious songs and wrapping them up in vaguely articulated concept albums. The large fan base the band had built as a result of "Boys" turned into a smaller, yet still enthusiastic bunch of hard rockers. Adding insult to injury was the rise of punk rock, which Lynott vigorously supported, but made Lizzy look too traditional and too much like tired old rock stars.
By the mid-'80s, resembling the dinosaur that punk rock wanted to annihilate, Thin Lizzy called it a career. Lynott recorded solo records that more explicitly examined issues of class and race, published a now-out-of-print book of poetry, and sadly, became a victim of his longtime abuse of heroin, cocaine, and alcohol, dying in 1986 at age 35. Since the mega-popular alternative rock bands of the mid-'90s appropriated numerous musical messages from their '70s forebears, the work of Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy will hopefully continue to be seen for the influential rock & roll it is.
In 1999, Thin Lizzy reunited with a lineup featuring guitarists Scott Gorman and John Sykes, and keyboardist Darren Wharton, which was rounded out by a journeyman rhythm section of bassist Marco Mendoza and drummer Tommy Aldridge. The quintet's ensuing European tour produced the live album One Night Only, which was released in the summer of 2000 to set the stage for a subsequent American concert tour.

It's Friday, and that means another episode of the Hairbanger's Ball. From the depths of Butler's Vault this week is a 1980 performance from Iron Maiden with original lead singer Paul Di'anno. Here is the title track to their second album - "Killers".
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Known for such powerful hits as "Two Minutes to Midnight" and "The Trooper," Iron Maiden were and are one of the most influential bands of the heavy metal genre. The often-imitated band existed for over 30 years, pumping out wild rock similar to Judas Priest. Iron Maiden have always been an underground attraction; although failing to ever obtain any real media attention in the U.S. (critics claimed them to be Satanists due to their dark musical themes and their use of grim mascot "Eddie"), they still became well known throughout the world and have remained consistently popular throughout their career. Iron Maiden were one of the first groups to be classified as "British metal," and, along with Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and a host of other bands, set the rock scene for the '80s.
Iron Maiden were first formed in 1976 by bassist Steve Harris, who would soon join up with rhythm guitarist Tony Parsons, drummer Doug Sampson, and vocalist Paul Di'Anno. Before finally obtaining a record deal, the group played in local areas throughout the '70s, receiving a fair amount of London airplay. Parsons replaced Dennis Stratton, and the band made its record debut in 1980 with the self-titled Iron Maiden album. Although the release was recorded in a hurry, it was nonetheless a hit in the U.K. due to the single "Running Free." Iron Maiden's 1981 follow-up, Killers, displayed a harder approach to their music than before, and also saw the replacement of Stratton with Adrian Smith. Due to his uncontrollable alcohol addiction, Di'Anno was forced to part company with the group and would soon be replaced with vocalist Bruce Dickinson in 1982 for the band's groundbreaking Number of the Beast. This album, boasting such songs as the title track and "Hallowed Be Thy Name," would come to be known as one of the greatest rock recordings of all time. Since the unexpected worldwide success of Beast made Iron Maiden international rock superstars, they changed very little of their style for their next album, Piece of Mind. They undertook two major tours before recording 1983's Powerslave, which would go on to be another cult hit. The product of Powerslave's 11-month tour was 1985's Live After Death, a double live album that featured all of their biggest hit singles.
By the release of Live After Death, Iron Maiden had already established themselves as a powerful and unique metal band. Their long-awaited 1986 supplement album, Somewhere in Time, showed a bit of departure from their past releases, showcasing the use of synthesizer guitars and songs more relevant to the same themes. Released in 1988, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, a concept album like its predecessor, featured the singles "The Evil That Men Do" and "The Clairvoyant," and soon became Iron Maiden's most critically acclaimed album since Number of the Beast. After another exhausting tour, Smith departed and the band took a one-year hiatus. With new guitarist Janick Gers, the band resurfaced with No Prayer for the Dying in 1990, a record that returned to the classic sound the group used when recording its earlier releases. One of the album's singles, "Bring Your Daughter...to the Slaughter," was granted the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Song of the Year, but it nonetheless gave the band its first number one U.K. hit. By the time the group finished its 1991 tour, Dickinson expressed desire to leave and work to promote another band he had founded, the Skunkworks. Fear of the Dark, the band's last album with Dickinson, debuted at number one on the U.K. charts and became one of Iron Maiden's biggest-selling albums to date. After their supporting tour, two live albums were released in 1993: A Real Live One, which contained live versions of their newer hit singles, and A Real Dead One, which featured the more "classic" Maiden songs live.
Dickinson's replacement, Blaze Bayley, marked his debut in 1995 with The X Factor. While the record failed to chart as well as some of its predecessors, it was still a minor success in England. Iron Maiden marked the end of 1996 with Best of the Beast, a double compilation album. In 1998, little interest in the Virtual XI album prompted Bayley's termination; Dickinson and Smith returned to the band for a tour in 1999, and a new album, Brave New World, emerged the following year. The band toured throughout the early 2000s, releasing the live Rock in Rio and the greatest-hits collection Edward the Great in 2002, followed by a new studio album, Dance of Death, in 2003. They followed DOD with the Rainmaker EP, as well as the live DVDs History of Iron Maiden, Pt. 1: The Early Days and Raising Hell in 2004. Sanctuary put out the two-disc The Essential Iron Maiden in 2005 to coincide with the group's co-headlining Ozzfest tour with Black Sabbath, a tour that found Maiden pulling out due to a series of confrontations with Ozzy's wife/manager, Sharon Osbourne. They released the live CD/DVD Death on the Road in September of 2005 and a collection of new material, Matter of Life and Death, in 2006. In 2009 the band released the soundtrack for the film Flight 666, a documentary/concert film recorded in 16 different cities during the group's first leg of their 2008 "Somewhere Back in Time World Tour".

It's Friday, and time for another episode of the Hairbanger's Ball. This week Butler pulls another classic live performance out from the vault - Ted Nugent playing "Motor City Madhouse" from the California Jam II back in 1978.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Throughout his lengthy career, guitar wildman Ted Nugent has reveled in the controversy and criticism that always seems to follow in his path. While there's no denying his exceptional talent on the six-string, his knack for penning arena rock anthems, or his standing as one of rock's top live acts, it's his nonmusical endeavors that have caused the most condemnation from his detractors (his pro-right wing beliefs, pro-gun advocacy, appreciation of hunting animals, etc.). But by the same token, Nugent is a family man and one of the few hard rockers who has admirably stuck by his lifelong anti-drugs and -drink stance throughout his career.
Born on December 13, 1948, in Detroit, MI, Nugent became interested in rock & roll early in the game, picking up the guitar as a youngster, while his disciplinarian father passed his beliefs down to Nugent. In the '60s, Nugent formed his first bands (including Royal High Boys and Lourdes), drawing inspiration from such British blues-rockers as the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds. But it wasn't until the formation of the Amboy Dukes that the Nuge got his first taste of stardom (it was also around this time that Nugent began playing a Gibson Byrdland guitar, a model which would be instantly associated with him throughout his career). The other members of the group didn't exactly share Nugent's clean-living lifestyle, as proven by their psychedelic hit single "Journey to the Center of the Mind," which Nugent claimed he didn't know at the time was about being "under the influence." The band managed to issue several albums throughout the late '60s -- 1967's self-titled debut, 1968's Journey to the Center of the Mind, and 1969's Migration -- as the group fit in well with such other high-energy rock bands to emerge from the Motor City: MC5 and the Stooges in particular.
With bandmembers coming and going at an alarming rate, Nugent remained the only constant member -- eventually officially changing the band's name to Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes by the '70s, and issuing 1971's Survival of the Fittest, 1973's Call of the Wild, and 1974's Tooth, Fang & Claw. While none of these releases exactly stormed the charts, Nugent and his cohorts remained an in-demand concert draw, as he also set up "guitar duels" on-stage around this time (battling with MC5's Wayne Kramer and Mahogany Rush's Frank Marino, among others).
By the mid-'70s, Nugent decided to finally ditch the Amboy Dukes name and set out on his own, assembling a first-rate backing band that included second guitarist/vocalist Derek St. Holmes, bassist Rob Grange, and drummer Cliff Davies. By 1975, the new band was signed to Aerosmith's management company (Leber & Krebs), as well as the same record company, Columbia, resulting in the release of Nugent's self-titled debut in November of the same year. The band immediately struck a chord with the heavy metal/hard rock crowd from coast to coast, due to the band's over-the-top stage show. But the bandmembers' relationship with Nugent was rocky at best -- Nugent wanted complete control of the band, while the others wanted it to be more of a democracy. The end result was St. Holmes leaving the band prior to the sessions of their sophomore effort, 1976's Free-for-All (which saw a then-unknown singer by the name of Meat Loaf filling in for the departed singer).
St. Holmes returned, however, in time for the album's ensuing tour, and by the release of 1977's Cat Scratch Fever (which spawned the hit single title track), Nugent and his band was one of the top rock bands in the U.S. -- storming the charts and selling out arenas coast to coast. By now, Nugent had assumed the stage persona of a caveman -- hitting the stage dressed in nothing but a skimpy loincloth and knee-high boots, and would often begin his show by swinging out on a rope à la Tarzan (!). Like other rock acts of the '70s (Kiss, Cheap Trick, Peter Frampton, etc.), Nugent used a live album to catapult his career to the next level of stardom -- 1978's classic Double Live Gonzo! But despite all the success, the members of his band began deserting him one by one over the course of such albums as 1978's Weekend Warriors, 1979's State of Shock, and 1980's Scream Dream. To add insult to injury, Nugent found himself bankrupt around this time, due to several failed business ventures and poor management.
Nugent continued to tour and crank out albums throughout the '80s (including such forgettable releases as Intensities in 10 Cities, Nugent, Penetrator, Little Miss Dangerous, and If You Can't Lick 'Em...Lick 'Em), but it appeared as through the Nuge was trying to keep pace with the burgeoning pop-metal crowd instead of sticking to the raw and raging rock that brought him success in the first place. Nugent also tried his hand at acting around this time, appearing as a drug dealer in an episode of the hit TV series Miami Vice in 1986. By the end of the decade, Nugent joined the rock supergroup Damn Yankees (joining former Night Ranger bassist/singer Jack Blades, former Styx guitarist/singer Tommy Shaw, and drummer Michael Cartellone) -- resulting in the quartet's self-titled debut in 1990, which became a surprise hit due to their Top Ten power ballad, "High Enough." But ultimately, the union proved to be short-lived; after only one more album (1992's lackluster Don't Tread), the band called it quits.
Nugent returned to his solo career, issuing his best album in over a decade, 1995's back-to-basics Spirit of the Wild, while several archival releases turned up throughout the '90s: 1993's three-disc box set Out of Control, 1997's Live at Hammersmith '79, as well as his first three albums reissued with added tracks and newly remastered sound in 1999 by the Epic/Legacy label (also issued at the same time was the first truly comprehensive compilation of the Amboy Dukes, the 18-track Loaded for Bear). The Nuge was also the subject of an interesting VH1 Behind the Music episode. He continued to tour well into the 21st century (landing the opening slot on Kiss' Farewell U.S. Tour in 2000), and issued the third live collection of his career, Full Bluntal Nugity, in 2001.
In addition to music, Nugent has gotten involved in politics, hosting a number one morning radio show in Detroit, has issued his own hunting camp and issues instructional videotapes (as well as the Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild PBS video series), owns his own hunting supply store, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association, writes columns regularly for a number of different magazines, and even sells his very own beef jerky (called Gonzo Meat Biltong)! In 2001, the Nuge penned his own autobiography, the perfectly titled God, Guns, & Rock n' Roll.

It's Friday, and time for another episode of the Hairbanger's Ball. This week we pull an old clip of the Rock Music Awards from 1975 featuring a two-fer from Alice Cooper. We also have a great Lacuna Coil giveaway to tell you about, so stay tuned for that.
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Originally, there was a band called Alice Cooper led by a singer named Vincent Damon Furnier. Under his direction, Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, heavy metal, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood, and huge boa constrictors, all coordinated by the heavily made-up Furnier. By that time, Furnier had adopted the name for his androgynous on-stage personality. While the visuals were extremely important to the group's impact, the band's music was nearly as distinctive. Driven by raw, simple riffs and melodies that derived from '60s guitar pop as well as show tunes, it was rock & roll at its most basic and catchy, even when the band ventured into psychedelia and art rock. After the original group broke up and Furnier began a solo career as Alice Cooper, his actual music lost most of its theatrical flourishes, becoming straightforward heavy metal, yet his stage show retained all of the trademark props that made him the king of shock rock.
Furnier formed his first group, the Earwigs, as an Arizona teenager in the early '60s. Changing the band's name to the Spiders in 1965, the group was eventually called the Nazz (not to be confused with Todd Rundgren's band of the same name). The Spiders and the Nazz both released local singles that were moderately popular. In 1968, after discovering there was another band called with the same name, the group changed its name to Alice Cooper. According to band legend, the name came to Furnier during a ouija board session, where he was told he was the reincarnation of a 17th century witch of the same name. Comprised of vocalist Furnier -- who would soon begin calling himself Alice Cooper -- guitarist Mike Bruce, guitarist Glen Buxton, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neal Smith, the group moved to California in 1968. In California, the group met Shep Gordon, who became their manager, and Frank Zappa, who signed Alice Cooper to his Straight Records imprint.
Alice Cooper released their first album, Pretties for You, in 1969. Easy Action followed early in 1970, yet it failed to chart. The group's reputation in Los Angeles was slowly shrinking, so the band moved to Furnier's hometown of Detroit. For the next year, the group refined their bizarre stage show. Late in 1970, the group's contract was transferred to Straight's distributor Warner Bros., and they began recording their third album with producer Bob Ezrin. With Ezrin's assistance, Alice Cooper developed their classic heavy metal crunch on 1971's Love It to Death, which featured the number 21 hit single "Eighteen"; the album peaked at number 35 and went gold. The success enabled the group to develop a more impressive, elaborate live show, which made them highly popular concert attractions across the U.S. and eventually the U.K. Killer, released late in 1971, was another gold album.
Released in the summer of 1972, School's Out was Alice Cooper's breakthrough record, peaking at number two and selling over a million copies. The title song became a Top Ten hit in the U.S. and a number one single in the U.K. Billion Dollar Babies, released the following year, was the group's biggest hit, reaching number one in both America and Britain; the album's first single, "No More Mr. Nice Guy," became a Top Ten hit in Britain, peaking at number 25 in the U.S. Muscle of Love appeared late in 1973, yet it failed to capitalize on the success of Billion Dollar Babies. After Muscle of Love, Furnier and the rest of Alice Cooper parted ways to pursue other projects. Having officially changed his name to Alice Cooper, Furnier embarked on a similarly theatrical solo career; the rest of the band released one unsuccessful album under the name Billion Dollar Babies, while Mike Bruce and Neal Smith both recorded solo albums that were never issued. In the fall of 1974, a compilation of Alice Cooper's five Warner albums, entitled Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits, became a Top Ten hit.
For his first solo album, Cooper hired Lou Reed's backing band from Rock 'N' Roll Animal -- guitarists Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter, bassist Prakash John, keyboardist Joseph Chrowski, and drummer Penti Glan -- as his supporting group. Welcome to My Nightmare, Alice Cooper's first solo album, was released in the spring of 1975. The record wasn't a great departure from his previous work, and it became a Top Ten hit in America, launching the hit acoustic ballad "Only Women Bleed"; its success put an end to any idea of reconvening Alice Cooper the band. Its follow-up, 1976's Alice Cooper Goes to Hell, was another hit, going gold in the U.S. After Alice Cooper Goes to Hell, Cooper's career began to slip, partially due to changing trends and partially due to his alcoholism. Cooper entered rehabilitation in 1978, writing an album about his treatment called From the Inside (1978) with Bernie Taupin, Elton John's lyricist. During the early '80s, Cooper continued to release albums and tour, yet he was no longer as popular as he was during his early-'70s heyday.
Cooper made a successful comeback in the late '80s, sparked by his appearances in horror films and a series of pop-metal bands that paid musical homage to his classic early records and concerts. Constrictor, released in 1986, began his comeback, but it was 1989's Trash that returned Cooper to the spotlight. Produced by the proven hitmaker Desmond Child, Trash featured guest appearances by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and most of Aerosmith; the record became a Top Ten hit in Britain and peaked at number 20 in the U.S., going platinum. "Poison," a midtempo rocker featured on the album, became Cooper's first Top Ten single since 1977. After the release of Trash, he continued to star in the occasional film, tour, and record, although he wasn't able to retain the audience recaptured with Trash. Still, 1991's Hey Stoopid and 1994's The Last Temptation were generally solid, professional efforts that helped Cooper settle into a comfortable cult status without damaging the critical goodwill surrounding his '70s output. After a live album, 1997's Fistful of Alice, Cooper returned on the smaller Spitfire label in 2000 with Brutal Planet and Dragontown a year later. The Eyes of Alice Cooper appeared in 2003 and found Alice and company playing a more stripped-down brand of near-garage rock. Dirty Diamonds from 2005 was nearly as raw and hit the streets around the same time Alice premiered his syndicated radio show, Nights with Alice Cooper. Three years later he would return with Along Came a Spider, a concept album that told the story of a spider-obsessed serial killer.

Welcome to another episode of Hairbanger's Ball. This week in Butler's Vault we have a classic track from the Metal Gods themselves - Judas Priest. Here is "Breakin' The Law."
Judas Priest
**BIO:** (from allmusic.com )
Judas Priest was one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the '70s, spearheading the New Wave of British Heavy Metal late in the decade. Decked out in leather and chains, the band fused the gothic doom of Black Sabbath with the riffs and speed of Led Zeppelin, as well as adding a vicious two-lead guitar attack; in doing so, they set the pace for much popular heavy metal from 1975 until 1985, as well as laying the groundwork for the speed and death metal of the '80s. Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1970, the group's core members were guitarist K.K. Downing and bassist Ian Hill. Joined by Alan Atkins and drummer John Ellis, the band played their first concert in 1971. Atkins' previous band was called Judas Priest, yet the members decided it was the best name for the new group. The band played numerous shows throughout 1971; during the year, Ellis was replaced by Alan Moore; by the end of the year, Chris Campbell replaced Moore. After a solid year of touring the U.K., Atkins and Campbell left the band in 1973 and were replaced by vocalist Rob Halford and drummer John Hinch. They continued touring, including a visit to Germany and the Netherlands in 1974; by the time the tour was completed, they had secured a record contract with Gull, an independent U.K. label. Before recording their debut album, Rocka Rolla, Judas Priest added guitarist Glenn Tipton. They released the record in September of 1974 to almost no attention. The following year, they gave a well-received performance at the Reading Festival and Hinch departed the band; he was replaced by Alan Moore. Later that year, the group released Sad Wings of Destiny, which earned some positive reviews. However, the lack of sales was putting the band in a dire financial situation, which was remedied by an international contract with CBS Records. Sin After Sin (1977) was the first album released under that contract; it was recorded with Simon Phillips, who replaced Moore. The record received positive reviews and the band departed for their first American tour, with Les Binks on drums. When they returned to England, Judas Priest recorded 1978's Stained Class, the record that established them as an international force in metal. Along with 1979's Hell Bent for Leather (Killing Machine in the U.K.), Stained Class began the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. A significant number of bands adopted Priest's leather-clad image and hard, driving sound, making their music harder, faster, and louder. After releasing Hell Bent for Leather, the band recorded the live album Unleashed in the East (1979) in Japan; it became their first platinum album in America. Les Binks left the band in 1979; he was replaced by former Trapeze drummer Dave Holland. Their next album, 1980's British Steel, entered the British charts at number three, launched the hit singles "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight," and was their second American platinum record; Point of Entry, released the following year, was nearly as successful.
At the beginning of the '80s, Judas Priest was a top concert attraction around the world, in addition to being a best-selling recording artist. Featuring the hit single "You've Got Another Thing Comin'," Screaming for Vengeance (1982) marked the height of their popularity, peaking at number 17 in America and selling over a million copies. Two years later, Defenders of the Faith nearly matched its predecessor's performance, yet metal tastes were beginning to change, as Metallica and other speed/thrash metal groups started to grow in popularity. That shift was evident on 1986's Turbo, where Judas Priest seemed out of touch with current trends; nevertheless, the record sold over a million copies in America on the basis of name recognition alone. However, 1987's Priest...Live! was their first album since Stained Class not to go gold. Ram It Down (1988) was a return to raw metal and returned the group to gold status. Dave Holland left after this record and was replaced by Scott Travis for 1990's Painkiller. Like Ram It Down, Painkiller didn't make an impact outside the band's diehard fans, yet the group was still a popular concert act. In the early '90s, Rob Halford began his own thrash band, Fight, and soon left Judas Priest. In 1996, following a solo album by Glenn Tipton, the band rebounded with a new young singer, Tim "Ripper" Owens, (formerly a member of a Priest tribute band and of Winter's Bane). They spent the next year recording Jugulator amongst much self-perpetuated hype concerning Priest's return to their roots. The album debuted at number 82 on the Billboard album charts upon its release in late 1997. Halford had by then disbanded Fight following a decrease in interest and signed with Trent Reznor's Nothing label with a new project, Two. In the meantime, the remaining members of Judas Priest forged on with '98 Live Meltdown, a live set recorded during their inaugural tour with Ripper on the mic. Around the same time, a movie was readying production that was to be based on Ripper's rags-to-riches story of how he got to front his all-time favorite band. Although Priest was originally supposed to be involved with the film, they ultimately pulled out, but production went on anyway without the band's blessing (the movie, Rock Star, was eventually released in the summer of 2001, starring Mark Wahlberg in the lead role). Rob Halford in the meantime disbanded Two after just a single album, 1997's Voyeurs, and returned back to his metal roots with a quintet titled simply...Halford. The group issued their debut in 2000, Resurrection, following it with a worldwide tour that saw the new group open up Iron Maiden's Brave New World U.S. tour, and issuing a live set one year later (which included a healthy helping of Priest classics) -- Live Insurrection. In 2001 the Ripper-led Priest issued a new album, Demolition, and Priest's entire back catalog for Columbia was reissued with remastered sound and bonus tracks. In 2003 the band--including Halford--collaborated on the liner notes and song selections for their mammoth career-encompassing box Metalogy, a collaboration that brought Halford back into the fold. Owens split from the group amicably in 2003, allowing the newly reunited heavy metal legends to plan their global live concert tour in 2004, with their sixteenth studio album, Angel of Retribution, to be released the following year.

• ? Mike,
I’m getting a headache listening to this “ratt” review…Let me just say—-They suck now and they sucked then or vise versa. LA Hairband…You need a new show segment called I X YOU OUT! and start with Ratt. On another note, being a huge Divynle fan, you may like the attached MP3 from a group called the Duke Spirit, a hot stripper at the Clairmont Lounge Dances to this song and turned me on to them. Give it a listen.

• ? Butler! Totally forgot to do some major ass kissing last time. Time to catch up! Loved Standing in the Spotlight. Great album. 10 of 10 as far as rap goes. Also liked the Cheap Trick review, definitely a must have. You know, you should not you send me Standing in the Spotlight, the Latest, and Michael Monroe’s Not Fakin’ It, because that would just be wrong, and I did not just get fired and am not out of money. Thanks for your awesome podcast. I recently checked out one called Rock and Roll TV, and what flashed across my screen, but horrendous pop and rap garbage I had never heard of. Thusly, I thank you for all you do in the world of rock and roll.
p.s.- Attention all geeks under the age of 18! take it from a fellow young rock and roll geek… Find better things to bleed your bank account dry with than avenged sevenfold. PLEASE!!!
Levi, the 9th grade rock and roll geek.
Rock long and prosper.

• ? Hello once again, I loved the track by track review of The Latest. If you hadn’t done the track by track i might not have bought the record. But thanks to your podcast it now sits with my other CD’s. I have written this email to inform you about the new Dream Theater record that I just found on iTunes. I love this record and reccommend it to all fans of rock. Here is my favorite song from the album and I hope you enjoy it. It is a little long but hey, that’s what Dream Theater is known for!
I also love the name ” DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH!! ”

• ? Hello My Friend, How’s it going? Pretty great here since I went to the PRIEST-Whitesnake show last night in Wallingford CT…and recorded it BADLY, just as reference anyway. I will try to do an audio comment/review this week. Halford sounded great.. David Coverdale didn’t do to bad a job either. I wasn’t to excited about WS but they were surprisingly entertaining. Priest is always great and hearing British Steel cover to cover was very enjoyable. That’s what they started the show with. that’s a great album..Priest did not do Turning Circles like I had hoped but That was to be expected, They did Freewheel Burnin at the end with Rob Halford coming out on his Bike. I prefer Hell bent for leather but that’s OK, Something off of Defenders o the faith brings me back too. Gotta run, I have a 2 year old who is screaming and a 6 year old who is sleeping.
Peace for now brother-

• ? Michael:
A couple of years ago…my 2 kids (who are young) asked me about some music their friends were playing.
I listened to it and quite frankly it was terrible….they liked it as it was from the latest “movie” the kids were into.
Since then…Every summer I have a tradition with my 2 daughters of schooling them in music.
I have always believed if you know the history you can then judge what is happening now appropriately….in anything…music, politics etc
Each summer I pick 2 bands….load a ipod and play it all summer up at our cottage.
Any suggestions on music?
I am covering all styles of music…..
I have already done Beatles, Beach Boys/Surf Music, Bob Marley, and Elvis/Rockabilly,
Any thoughts?…I have brain cramp today…

• ? Michael,
This is coming to you a little late on this topic, my apologies. You are probably sick of banter about the Dee Dee album review. I just quickly wanted to comment. No matter what anyone says, that album is 100% Dee Dee. It captures his character, humor, and his edge perfectly. It also has some catchy tunes. For that, I appreciate the album. Kudos to you for reviewing it, I am sure you knew the controversy that was coming.
Last night on VH1 classic they aired a Thin Lizzy concert, I am not sure the date. The show was titled BBC crown Jewel (or something similar). If you have not seen it, check it out. I thought it was great.
Happy Friday bro,

It's Friday, and time for the Hairbanger's Ball. Once again we delve into the dusty stacks of Butler's Vault. We dig through the stacks to find the most awesome hard rock and metal videos for your viewing pleasure. This week we find a vary rare clip from Def Leppard. This video is from 1979, around the time of their very first album "On Through The Night". Here is "Rock Brigade"
BIO: (from defleppard.com)
1977
In November, the first Def Leppard rehearsal takes place in a spoon factory near Bramall Lane, Sheffield (UK). Lead singer Joe Elliott, bass player Rick "Sav" Savage, guitarist Pete Willis, and drummer Tony Kenning just renamed the band from Deaf Leopard (a name first coined by Joe Elliott at school in 1975) to Def Leppard. At Christmas, the band perform their first gig for six friends. Six songs are played, including covers by David Bowie, Thin Lizzy and their own original "MISTY DREAMER".
1978
In January, Steve Clark joins the band as the second guitarist. Between February and July, the band rehearse interminably until Steve Clark threatens to quit if they don't get out and play. On July 18, Def Leppard play their first public gig at Westfield School in Sheffield. They are paid 5 Pounds -- out of a teacher's pocket. In November, drummer Tony Kenning is fired from the band and replaced by Frank Noon for the band's first recording, "THE DEF LEPPARD EP", which costs 600 Pounds Sterling (approximately 900 US Dollars) for recording, sleeves and pressing on their own Bludgeon Riffola label. On November 28, drummer Rick Allen joins the band full time.
1979
The live reputation climbs, John Peel's show on BBC Radio 1 gives the EP the first radio airplay and a recording deal is signed with Phonogram (UK) and Mercury (US). All band members give up their day jobs and Rick Allen drops out of school. In September, the band open for Sammy Hagar and play London's rock mecca, The Hammersmith Odeon, for the first time. In October and November, Def Leppard supports AC/DC in the UK. During that time, the first single "WASTED", produced by Nick Tauber, is released. Rick Allen celebrates his 16th (!) birthday at the Hammersmith.
1980
On March 14, the debut LP "ON THROUGH THE NIGHT", produced by Tom Allom, is released. Around the same time, the single "HELLO AMERICA" sees the light of day. On April 1, the band sign with Leber-Krebs management company. They are looked after by the American duo Peter Mensch and Cliff Burnstein (later to form their own company, Q-Prime).
In May, the band arrive for debut US tours to open for, respectively, Pat Travers, Judas Priest, Ted Nugent and AC/DC. In August, Def Leppard return to the UK to play at the Reading Festival. The crowd, convinced that the band have sold out to the Yankee Dollar and turned their backs on their home country, greet them with a rain of bottles and beer cans.
1981
Recordings for the second album start in March, their first with producer and soon-to-be unofficial sixth Lep, Robert John "Mutt" Lange. "HIGH 'N' DRY" is released in July and a European tour follows, supporting Rainbow. In the US, the band support Ozzy Osbourne and Blackfoot. In November, the new US cable channel MTV discovers the video for "BRINGIN' ON THE HEARTBREAK" and plays it with heavy rotation; "HIGH 'N' DRY" is shot back up the charts.
1982
In January, recordings for the third album start, again with Robert John "Mutt" Lange. In July, Pete Willis leaves the band and is replaced by Phil Collen, formerly of Lucy and Girl.
1983
In January, the "PYROMANIA" album and "PHOTOGRAPH" single are released to massive acclaim and sales. In the US, the LP sells 100,000 a week for most of the year and ends up selling over seven million copies in that country alone. Success in the rest of the world eludes them at this stage. In February and March they complete a UK headline tour and in the spring, the band support Billy Squier on tour in the US. In April, the first US headline tour is started.
1984
The "PYROMANIA" world tour ends on February 7 in Bangkok and the band relocate to Dublin, Ireland. Work on album number 4 starts in the spring, when each Lep, armed with a drum machine individually start working on song ideas. In August, recordings commenced at Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum (Holland) with producer Jim Steinman (of Meat Loaf's "BAT OUT OF HELL" fame). "Mutt" Lange passed on working with Def Leppard on this LP because he was exhausted after producing The Cars' "HEARTBEAT CITY". Steinman proves incompatible with the band's style and their collaboration ends, with eight backing tracks scrapped. By "Mutt" Lange's suggestion, he is replaced by Nigel Green, who had engineered the band's "HIGH N' DRY" album.
On New Year's Eve, just outside Sheffield, Rick Allen's car overturns high speed and he is thrown clear. His left arm is severed. Microsurgery fails to reconnect the limb.
Adapting a Simmons electronic kit, Rick learns to drum one-armed. Meanwhile, the rest of the band keep recording with Nigel Green. In the summer, "Mutt" Lange takes over as a producer and advises the band to re-record almost everything.
1986
To break cabin-fever of recording, the band plan to eight shows at the European Monsters Of Rock tour during the summer. As insurance, they bring Status Quo's Jeff Rich to supplement Rick Allen's drums. During the warm-up mini tour of Ireland, when Rich accidentally misses a gig, the rest of the band realize that Rick can drum alone. On August 16, they perform at Castle Donington, the first Monsters Of Rock show. In stark contrast to their Reading debacle, the show is a triumph and the crowd take them to their hearts. The final Monsters Of Rock show, taking place August 31 in Mannheim, Germany, is marked by a torrential downpour that lasts exactly the duration of Def Leppard's set.
1987
In January, the recordings of the fourth album are finished. In February, another album's worth of tracks are recorded - mostly live in the studio, to be used for B-sides. After kicking off the world tour in the UK on August, "HYSTERIA" is released. Seven out of the twelve tracks are released as singles: "WOMEN", "ANIMAL", "POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME", "LOVE BITES", "ARMAGEDDON IT", "HYSTERIA" and "ROCKET". The album goes on to sell 16 million copies (including 12 million in the US alone). At last the band are stars in their home country. During their US tours, the band play "in the round" on a stage located in the center of arenas.
1988
In October, after 227 shows supporting the "HYSTERIA" album, work begins on the fifth album.
1989
Recordings of album #5 proceed at Wisseloord Studios and Studio 150 in Amsterdam (Holland), before the band relocate to Dublin. The band also play "TEAR IT DOWN" live at the MTV Video Music Awards, Steve Clark's last show with the band.
1990
A year passes while the band keeps working on their album...
1991
On January 8, guitarist Steve Clark dies after mixing alcohol with painkillers prescribed to him after he broke three ribs earlier that year.
Def Leppard continue recording their album as a four piece. For the first time in four albums, "Mutt" Lange does not man the controls: he rather serves as executive producer. Long-time mixer/engineer Mike Shipley sits in as co-producer along with the band.
1992
The newest incarnation of Def Leppard is revealed to the world in April at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley stadium. Vivian Campbell, already well known and respected for his work with Dio and Whitesnake, joins the band and "ADRENALIZE" is released. The band embark on a rare set of European club dates to work on their live show. The album enters the US charts at number 1 and remains there for five weeks, selling six million copies. In Japan, Mexico and many other countries, it will become Def Leppard's biggest-selling album to date. In June, the SEVEN DAY WEEKEND-tour begins. Before it ends, some eighteen months later, Def Leppard will have played 241 shows, by far their most ambitious tour ever and the first time they have played "in the round" in the UK.
1993
The producers of Arnold Schwarzenegger's new film "LAST ACTION HERO" approach the band in March about contributing a song for the end credits. The band, still on tour to support their latest album, cannot make time to record a new song. Rather, they send a B-side called "TWO STEPS BEHIND", which had previously been released only in the UK.
On June 6, almost 15 years after their first gig, they are the first-ever band to play the newly opened Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield: a triumphant return to their home town to a sell out crowd of 40,000.
In July, "TWO STEPS BEHIND" is released, becoming a hit in the US as well as the rest of the world. A string section recorded by Michael Kamen is added and the song is mixed, released, and racing up the charts within 6 weeks. This inspires the band to remix the rest of their rarities and B-sides, in an attempt to put out all the remaining songs from the Steve Clark era and begin a new phase in the history of Def Leppard: in August, "RETRO ACTIVE" is released, goes platinum in the US and sells over two million copies worldwide.
In September, the last gig of the "ADRENALIZE"-tour takes place. The band take a six month break, to write and work on new songs on their own, before entering a studio to begin work on their seventh album.
1994
Def Leppard head to a house overlooking Marbella, Spain, to record their next album. Pete Woodroffe, who co-produced "RETRO ACTIVE", is tapped to co-produce the disc as well.
1995
With the new album near completion, the band are approached by Mercury Records to release a Greatest Hits compilation, highlighting the first chapter of Def Leppard's career. "VAULT", is released in October, a collection of sixteen tracks (with different tracklistings, varying on the country of release), drawing one song from 1982's "HIGH 'N' DRY", two from 1983's "PYROMANIA", six from 1987's enormously popular "HYSTERIA", four from 1992's "ADRENALIZE" and two from 1993's "RETRO ACTIVE". In addition, there is a new song, "WHEN LOVE AND HATE COLLIDE", which becomes Def Leppard's biggest hit in the UK ever peaking at number two in the charts. "VAULT" goes on to sell 4 million copies.
In October, Sheffield pays tribute to their biggest export - plaques go up at the Crookes Working Man's Club and the Don Valley Stadium. The band give the first exhibit to the National Centre For Popular Music and then go to tea with the Mayor. The day's finale is an acoustic gig 300-capacity Wapentake Pub where the band had played one of their very first shows back in 1978.
On October 23, Def Leppard go for the big one and play 3 continents in one day -- a feat for which they receive a mention in the Guinness Book Of Records. Starting at midnight in a cave in Tangiers, Morocco, they play an acoustic set. They then fly to London, England to play at midday. Finally, they end up in Vancouver, Canada for yet another show at 9.30 PM..... 5,845 miles in a day!
1996
In January, the band keep working on their next album and move from Marbella, Spain to Bow Lane Studios in Dublin, Ireland. In April, the first singles of the new album are released: "SLANG" in the UK and "WORK IT OUT" in the US. On May 13, the album "SLANG" is released, followed by a world tour that starts May 28 in Bangkok. During the following months, the band tour Southeast Asia and the US, before the European leg starts in October. In December, the band tour South Africa for the very first time, culminating in a sell-out show to 47,000 exuberant fans at the Johannesburg Stadium.
1997
April sees the band complete their world tour with dates in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Columbia, Equador, Argentina, Brazil and Puerto Rico.
1998
In April, the band get together in Dublin to start writing and recording their ninth album. The album is recorded in Dublin at Joe's home studio - Joe's Garage, where "ADRENALIZE" was recorded, along with some parts of "RETRO ACTIVE" and "SLANG".
VH1 starts broadcasting the Def Leppard episode of their "BEHIND THE MUSIC" documentary series, the first in a row of Def Leppard-related shows the station will be showing in the future ("STORYTELLERS", "HYSTERIA: THE DEF LEPPARD STORY" and "ULTIMATE ALBUMS" would follow).
1999
On March 16, Def Leppard are one of the inaugural recipients of the newly launched Diamond Awards in the USA. The award are for over 10 million sales in the US of one album ("HYSTERIA" has now sold 12 million in the US - over 16 million worldwide) in the history of recorded music. Only 61 albums and 45 artists have achieved this level of success. Even more astoundingly, only eight of them were British artists. Def Leppard are in the fine company of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Elton John, George Michael, Eric Clapton and the Bee Gees.
On May 24, the first single off the new album, "PROMISES" is released. Two weeks later, "EUPHORIA" hits stores and is followed by a tour in Japan, the US and the UK. The band plays at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL on December 31 to celebrate the turn of the century during the second leg of the "EUPHORIA"-tour.
2000
The "EUPHORIA" tour takes the band to the States and Canada, where they play another 78 shows. The 147-date tour comes to an end on September 30 in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
In September, the band gets inducted at the Hollywood Rock Walk Hall of Fame, where they receive a plaque and leave their hand prints in cement.
2001
Joe and Phil work on their CYBERNAUTS project, playing old David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust/Spiders From Mars songs, Vivian works with his other band CLOCK, Rick starts his own RAVEN DRUM FOUNDATION, and Sav enjoys life as a father. At the same time, work starts on the follow-up to "EUPHORIA".
The four home videos are being re-released on DVD: "HISTORIA" and "IN THE ROUND IN YOUR FACE" on the first DVD, and "VISUALIZE" and "VIDEO ARCHIVE" on the second. Both releases are updated with interviews and the videos taken from the "SLANG"- and "EUPHORIA"-albums.
In July, VH1 (USA) broadcasts "HYSTERIA: THE DEF LEPPARD STORY", a movie covering the band's career until the start of the "HYSTERIA" tour, which is seen by millions of people and is rated tremendously high.
Throughout the year, the band travels between Dublin, Stockholm and California to write and record new material with Max Martin, Marti Frederiksen, Per Aldeheim and Andreas Carlsson.
2002
In June, "NOW", the first single from the band's tenth album, is released. The album "X" (as in the Roman numeral for 10), is released in July.
Before the "X" tour officially starts, the band plays a number of shows in the UK, including one in Leeds, attended by Queen Elizabeth. In September, the world tour officially kicks off.
2003
For the biggest part of 2003, the band is touring around the world. Apart from shows in the US, Canada, Japan and the UK, the "X" tour also takes the band to places they haven't been to in a long time (such as Germany and Poland) -- or even never before (such as Latvia, Lithouania and Russia). After 151 shows, the "X" tour comes to an end in Moscow.
2004
Most of the year is spent on recording a new album, consisting of cover versions of the band's favorite songs from their youth. By the end of the year, an updated version of the 1995 Greatest Hits release "VAULT" is released on CD and DVD: "BEST OF DEF LEPPARD" (North Americans will have to wait a little longer, as their release for this album will be available a couple of months later). The album contains one 'new' song; "WATERLOO SUNSET", originally recorded by The Kinks, is a preview of an upcoming covers album the band has been working on.
2005
In May, the North American version of the updated Greatest Hits compilation is released: "ROCK OF AGES - THE DEFINITE COLLECTION" has new artwork, a slightly different tracklisting and, instead of "WATERLOO SUNSET", another preview of the covers album: Def Leppard's version of Badfinger's "NO MATTER WHAT". In June, a co-headline tour with Bryan Adams kicks off in the USA and on July 2, Def Leppard is part of the LIVE 8 festival in Philadelphia, where they play in front of 1,000,000 people. November sees the North American release of the "ROCK OF AGES" DVD, and in support of that release there are three major performances on US national TV; millions see the band play at Jimmy Kimmel Live and two big awards shows.
2006
The year starts quietly -- but that's only the calm before the storm. The band's long-awaited covers album "YEAH! is finally released in May, followed by a European festival tour in June which takes the band to Italy, Sweden, Germany, Holland, and the UK. On June 23, the band's North American co-headlining tour with Journey kicks off, the start of a summer full of rockin' shows.
2007
Recordings of the band's next album, started on the road the year before in their backstage studio called the "sparkle lounge", are coming along well. In order to avoid the risk of cabin fever, the band goes out on tour in North America with Styx and Foreigner in tow, the first time the band goes on the road for a full tour without an album to support.
2008
The band's 12th studio album is released in April. "SONGS FROM THE SPARKLE LOUNGE," named after the backstage area in which a lot of material was recorded during the 2006 tour, features a special collaboration with country star Tim McGraw in the lead single "NINE LIVES." A world tour starts in April, taking the band to North America, India, and various festivals in Europe. For the first time in 5 years, the UK sees the band do a proper tour, co-headlining with Whitesnake.

Cooking with the Rock and Roll Geek
This time Butler makes Italian Sunday Gravy
Recipe:
Most sausage has enough seasoning to make extra salt unnecessary. The hearty sauce makes a meal when paired with 2 pounds of rigatoni, ziti, or penne.
Serves 8 to 10.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 pound hot Italian sausage
2 onions , chopped medium
12 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (28-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 pounds bone-in country-style spareribs , trimmed of excess fat
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Pepper
Instructions
-
Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add sweet sausage and cook until well browned and fat begins to render, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towel-lined plate to drain, then place in slow-cooker insert. Repeat with hot sausage.
-
Cook onions in sausage fat over medium heat until well browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook until paste begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in wine and simmer, scraping browned bits from pan bottom with wooden spoon, until wine is reduced, about 3 minutes. Transfer to slow-cooker insert and stir in diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.
-
Submerge spareribs and flank steak in sauce in slow-cooker insert. Set slow cooker on low, cover, and cook until meat is tender, 8 to 10 hours. (Alternatively, cook on high for 4 to 5 hours.)
-
About 30 minutes before serving, transfer sausages, ribs, and flank steak to baking sheet and set aside until cool enough to handle. Shred ribs and flank steak into small pieces, discarding excess fat and bones; slice sausages in half crosswise. Use wide spoon to skim fat off surface, then stir sausages and shredded meat back into sauce. Stir in basil and season with pepper. Serve. (Leftover gravy can be stored in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
Make Ahead: The recipe can be prepared through step 2 up to 2 days in advance. After reducing the wine in step 2, add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and browned sausages to the Dutch oven and simmer over medium-low heat until the sausages are cooked through, about 12 minutes. Refrigerate the sausage and sauce mixture in an airtight container until ready to use. When ready to cook the gravy, warm the sauce and the sausages together over medium heat until heated through and transfer to slow-cooker insert. Proceed with step 3.

It's that time again for another episode of Hairbanger's Ball. Coming out of Butler's Vault this week is a track from hard pioneers UFO. Here is a live cover of the Elvis classic "Mystery Train".
UFO
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Vocalist Phil Mogg, guitarist Mick Bolton, bassist Pete Way, and drummer Andy Parker formed the British space metal outfit UFO in 1969. Originally known as Hocus Pocus, the group, which took the name UFO in honor of a London club, debuted in 1971 with UFO 1. Both the album and its follow-up, the same year's Flying, found great success in Japan, France, and Germany, but went barely noticed in the band's native country; as a result, their third effort, 1972's Live, was released only in Japan.
In 1974, Bolton left the group; after brief trial runs with ex-Pink Fairies guitarist Larry Wallis and future Whitesnake member Bernie Marsden, former Scorpion Michael Schenker stepped in as a permanent replacement in time to record 1974's Phenomenon, which sported a harder-edged guitar sound. After 1975's Force It and 1976's No Heavy Petting brought UFO increased visibility with American audiences, keyboardist Paul Raymond joined for 1977's Lights Out. However, after 1978's Obsession, Schenker left the group, first to rejoin the Scorpions and later to form his own band. Despite the addition of guitarist Paul Chapman, the next UFO LP, No Place to Run, failed to match the success of its predecessors.
In 1982, the band released Mechanix, notching a minor U.S. hit with "Back into My Life"; later that year, Way exited to form Waysted and was replaced by ex-Eddie & the Hot Rods bassist Paul Gray. After 1983's Making Contact, UFO dissolved, only to re-form two years later for Misdemeanor; however, the album was met with little response, and they again called it quits. In 1993, the group's most popular lineup -- Mogg, Schenker, Way, Raymond, and Parker -- reunited and recorded the 1995 album Walk on Water; after a tour, the members yet again went their separate ways. Mogg and Way continued to work as Mogg/Way and released the albums Edge of the World (1997) and Chocolate Box (1999). Schenker rejoined in 2000 along with veteran drummer Aynsley Dunbar for the two-CD Covenant, which featured one disc of new studio recordings along with one disc of live recordings. Sharks came out in 2002; then Schenker and Dunbar departed and were replaced by Vinnie Moore and Jason Bonham respectively. This new band welcomed returning keyboardist Paul Raymond for 2004's You Are Here and 2005's live album Showtime. Bonham was the next to leave and was replaced by the band's original drummer, Andy Parker, for 2006's The Monkey Puzzle.

Ted Nugent:
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Throughout his lengthy career, guitar wildman Ted Nugent has reveled in the controversy and criticism that always seems to follow in his path. While there's no denying his exceptional talent on the six-string, his knack for penning arena rock anthems, or his standing as one of rock's top live acts, it's his nonmusical endeavors that have caused the most condemnation from his detractors (his pro-right wing beliefs, pro-gun advocacy, appreciation of hunting animals, etc.). But by the same token, Nugent is a family man and one of the few hard rockers who has admirably stuck by his lifelong anti-drugs and -drink stance throughout his career.
Born on December 13, 1948, in Detroit, MI, Nugent became interested in rock & roll early in the game, picking up the guitar as a youngster, while his disciplinarian father passed his beliefs down to Nugent. In the '60s, Nugent formed his first bands (including Royal High Boys and Lourdes), drawing inspiration from such British blues-rockers as the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds. But it wasn't until the formation of the Amboy Dukes that the Nuge got his first taste of stardom (it was also around this time that Nugent began playing a Gibson Byrdland guitar, a model which would be instantly associated with him throughout his career). The other members of the group didn't exactly share Nugent's clean-living lifestyle, as proven by their psychedelic hit single "Journey to the Center of the Mind," which Nugent claimed he didn't know at the time was about being "under the influence." The band managed to issue several albums throughout the late '60s -- 1967's self-titled debut, 1968's Journey to the Center of the Mind, and 1969's Migration -- as the group fit in well with such other high-energy rock bands to emerge from the Motor City: MC5 and the Stooges in particular.
With bandmembers coming and going at an alarming rate, Nugent remained the only constant member -- eventually officially changing the band's name to Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes by the '70s, and issuing 1971's Survival of the Fittest, 1973's Call of the Wild, and 1974's Tooth, Fang & Claw. While none of these releases exactly stormed the charts, Nugent and his cohorts remained an in-demand concert draw, as he also set up "guitar duels" on-stage around this time (battling with MC5's Wayne Kramer and Mahogany Rush's Frank Marino, among others).
By the mid-'70s, Nugent decided to finally ditch the Amboy Dukes name and set out on his own, assembling a first-rate backing band that included second guitarist/vocalist Derek St. Holmes, bassist Rob Grange, and drummer Cliff Davies. By 1975, the new band was signed to Aerosmith's management company (Leber & Krebs), as well as the same record company, Columbia, resulting in the release of Nugent's self-titled debut in November of the same year. The band immediately struck a chord with the heavy metal/hard rock crowd from coast to coast, due to the band's over-the-top stage show. But the bandmembers' relationship with Nugent was rocky at best -- Nugent wanted complete control of the band, while the others wanted it to be more of a democracy. The end result was St. Holmes leaving the band prior to the sessions of their sophomore effort, 1976's Free-for-All (which saw a then-unknown singer by the name of Meat Loaf filling in for the departed singer).
St. Holmes returned, however, in time for the album's ensuing tour, and by the release of 1977's Cat Scratch Fever (which spawned the hit single title track), Nugent and his band was one of the top rock bands in the U.S. -- storming the charts and selling out arenas coast to coast. By now, Nugent had assumed the stage persona of a caveman -- hitting the stage dressed in nothing but a skimpy loincloth and knee-high boots, and would often begin his show by swinging out on a rope à la Tarzan (!). Like other rock acts of the '70s (Kiss, Cheap Trick, Peter Frampton, etc.), Nugent used a live album to catapult his career to the next level of stardom -- 1978's classic Double Live Gonzo! But despite all the success, the members of his band began deserting him one by one over the course of such albums as 1978's Weekend Warriors, 1979's State of Shock, and 1980's Scream Dream. To add insult to injury, Nugent found himself bankrupt around this time, due to several failed business ventures and poor management.
Nugent continued to tour and crank out albums throughout the '80s (including such forgettable releases as Intensities in 10 Cities, Nugent, Penetrator, Little Miss Dangerous, and If You Can't Lick 'Em...Lick 'Em), but it appeared as through the Nuge was trying to keep pace with the burgeoning pop-metal crowd instead of sticking to the raw and raging rock that brought him success in the first place. Nugent also tried his hand at acting around this time, appearing as a drug dealer in an episode of the hit TV series Miami Vice in 1986. By the end of the decade, Nugent joined the rock supergroup Damn Yankees (joining former Night Ranger bassist/singer Jack Blades, former Styx guitarist/singer Tommy Shaw, and drummer Michael Cartellone) -- resulting in the quartet's self-titled debut in 1990, which became a surprise hit due to their Top Ten power ballad, "High Enough." But ultimately, the union proved to be short-lived; after only one more album (1992's lackluster Don't Tread), the band called it quits.
Nugent returned to his solo career, issuing his best album in over a decade, 1995's back-to-basics Spirit of the Wild, while several archival releases turned up throughout the '90s: 1993's three-disc box set Out of Control, 1997's Live at Hammersmith '79, as well as his first three albums reissued with added tracks and newly remastered sound in 1999 by the Epic/Legacy label (also issued at the same time was the first truly comprehensive compilation of the Amboy Dukes, the 18-track Loaded for Bear). The Nuge was also the subject of an interesting VH1 Behind the Music episode. He continued to tour well into the 21st century (landing the opening slot on Kiss' Farewell U.S. Tour in 2000), and issued the third live collection of his career, Full Bluntal Nugity, in 2001.
In addition to music, Nugent has gotten involved in politics, hosting a number one morning radio show in Detroit, has issued his own hunting camp and issues instructional videotapes (as well as the Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild PBS video series), owns his own hunting supply store, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association, writes columns regularly for a number of different magazines, and even sells his very own beef jerky (called Gonzo Meat Biltong)! In 2001, the Nuge penned his own autobiography, the perfectly titled God, Guns, & Rock n' Roll.

Aerosmith:
BIO: (from allmusic.com)
Aerosmith was one of the most popular hard rock bands of the '70s, setting the style and sound of hard rock and heavy metal for the next two decades with their raunchy, bluesy swagger. The Boston-based quintet found the middle ground between the menace of the Rolling Stones and the campy, sleazy flamboyance of the New York Dolls, developing a lean, dirty riff-oriented boogie that was loose and swinging and as hard as a diamond.
In the meantime, they developed a prototype for power ballads with "Dream On," a piano ballad that was orchestrated with strings and distorted guitars. Aerosmith's ability to pull off both ballads and rock & roll made them extremely popular during the mid-'70s, when they had a string of gold and platinum albums. By the early '80s, the group's audience had declined as the band fell prey to drug and alcohol abuse. However, their career was far from over — in the late '80s, Aerosmith pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks in rock history, returning to the top of the charts with a group of albums that equalled, if not surpassed, the popularity of their '70s albums.
In 1970, the first incarnation of Aerosmith formed when vocalist Steven Tyler met guitarist Joe Perry while working at a Sunapee, NH, ice cream parlor. Tyler, who originally was a drummer, and Perry decided to form a power trio with bassist Tom Hamilton. The group soon expanded to a quartet, adding a second guitarist called Ray Tabano; he was quickly replaced by Brad Whitford, a former member of Earth Inc. With the addition of drummer Joey Kramer, Tyler became the full-time lead singer by the end of year. Aerosmith relocated to Boston at the end of 1970.
After playing clubs in the Massachusetts and New York areas for two years, the group landed a record contract with Columbia Records in 1972. Aerosmith's self-titled debut album was released in the fall of 1973, climbing to number 166. "Dream On" was released as the first single and it was a minor hit, reaching number 59. For the next year, the band built a fan base by touring America, supporting groups as diverse as the Kinks, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Sha Na Na, and Mott the Hoople. The performance of Get Your Wings (1974), the group's second album and the first produced by Jack Douglas, benefited from their constant touring, spending a total of 86 weeks on the chart.
Aerosmith's third record, 1975's Toys in the Attic, was their breakthrough album both commercially and artistically. By the time it was recorded, the band's sound had developed into a sleek, hard-driving hard rock powered by simple, almost brutal, blues-based riffs. Many critics at the time labeled the group as punk rockers, and it's easy to see why — instead of adhering to the world-music pretensions of Led Zeppelin or the prolonged gloomy mysticism of Black Sabbath, Aerosmith stripped heavy metal to its basic core, spitting out spare riffs that not only rocked, but rolled. Steven Tyler's lyrics were filled with double entendres and clever jokes, and the entire band had a streetwise charisma that separated them from the heavy, lumbering arena rockers of the era. Toys in the Attic captured the essence of the newly invigorated Aerosmith. "Sweet Emotion," the first single from Toys in the Attic, broke into the Top 40 in the summer of 1975, with the album reaching number 11 shortly afterward. Its success prompted the re-release of the power ballad "Dream On," which shot into the Top Ten in early 1976. Both Aerosmith and Get Your Wings climbed back up the charts in the wake of Toys in the Attic. "Walk This Way," the final single from Toys in the Attic, was released around the time of the group's new 1976 album, Rocks. Although it didn't feature a Top Ten hit like "Walk This Way," Rocks went platinum quickly, peaking at number three.
In early 1977, Aerosmith took a break and prepared material for their fifth album. Released late in 1977, Draw the Line was another hit, climbing to number 11 on the U.S. charts, but it showed signs of exhaustion. In addition to another tour in 1978, the band appeared in the movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, performing "Come Together," which eventually became a number 23 hit. Live! Bootleg appeared late in 1978 and became another success, reaching number 13. Aerosmith recorded Night in the Ruts in 1979, releasing the record at the end of the year. By the time of its release, Joe Perry had left the band to form the Joe Perry Project. Night in the Ruts performed respectably, climbing to number 14 and going gold, yet it was the least successful Aerosmith record to date. Brad Whitford left the group in early 1980, forming the Whitsford-St. Holmes Band with former Ted Nugent guitarist Derek St. Holmes.
As Aerosmith regrouped with new guitarists Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay, the band released Aerosmith's Greatest Hits in late 1980; the record would eventually sell over six million copies. The new lineup of Aerosmith released Rock in a Hard Place in 1982. Peaking at number 32, it failed to match the performance of Night in the Ruts. Perry and Whitford returned to the band in 1984 and the group began a reunion tour dubbed Back in the Saddle. Early in the tour, Tyler collapsed on-stage, offering proof that the band hadn't conquered their notorious drug and alcohol addictions. The following year, Aerosmith released Done with Mirrors, the original lineup's first record since 1979 and their first for Geffen Records. Although it didn't perform as well as Rock in a Hard Place, the album showed that the band was revitalized.
After the release of Done with Mirrors, Tyler and Perry completed rehabilitation programs. In 1986, the pair appeared on Run-D.M.C.'s cover of "Walk This Way," along with appearing in the video. "Walk This Way" became a hit, reaching number four and receiving saturation airplay on MTV. "Walk This Way" set the stage for the band's full-scale comeback effort, the Bruce Fairbairn-produced Permanent Vacation (1987). Tyler and Perry collaborated with professional hard rock songwriters like Holly Knight and Desmond Child, resulting in the hits "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)," "Rag Doll," and "Angel." Permanent Vacation peaked at number 11 and sold over three million copies.
Pump, released in 1989, continued the band's winning streak, reaching number five, selling over four million copies, and spawning the Top Ten singles "Love in an Elevator," "Janie's Got a Gun," and "What It Takes." Aerosmith released Get a Grip in 1993. Like Permanent Vacation and Pump, Get a Grip was produced by Bruce Fairbairn and featured significant contributions by professional songwriters. The album was as successful as the band's previous two records, featuring the hit singles "Livin' on the Edge," "Cryin'," and "Amazing." In 1994, Aerosmith released Big Ones, a compilation of hits from their Geffen years that fulfilled their contract with the label; it went double platinum shortly after its release.
While Aerosmith was at the height of their revitalized popularity in the early '90s, the group signed a lucrative multi-million dollar contract with Columbia Records, even though they still owed Geffen two albums. It wasn't until 1995 that the band was able to begin working on their first record under the new contract — nearly five years after the contract was signed. The making of Aerosmith albums usually had been difficult affairs, but the recording of Nine Lives was plagued with bad luck. The band went through a number of producers and songwriters before settling on Kevin Shirley in 1996. More damaging, however, was the dismissal of the band's manager, Tim Collins, who'd been responsible for bringing the band back from the brink of addiction. Upon his firing, Collins insinuated that Steven Tyler was using hard drugs again, an allegation that Aerosmith adamantly denied.
Under such circumstances, recording became quite difficult, and when Nine Lives finally appeared in the spring of 1997, it was greeted with great anticipation, yet the initial reviews were mixed and even though album debuted at number one, it quickly fell down the charts. The live A Little South of Sanity followed in 1998. Three years later, Aerosmith strutted their stuff on the Super Bowl halftime special on CBS with the likes of Mary J. Blige, Nelly, *N Sync, and Britney Spears, just prior to issuing their heart-stomping Just Push Play in March 2001. Next up for the band was a blues album, Honkin' on Bobo, released in 2004, along with two live album/DVDs, You Gotta Move and Rockin' the Joint. Another greatest-hits collection, Devil's Got a New Disguise: The Very Best of Aerosmith arrived in 2006.

It's Friday again, and time for another episode of Hairbanger's Ball. This week Butler pulls another video from the vault with a performance from Krokus. This is "Rock City"
BIO: (from krokusonline)
Over a period of 3 decades KROKUS have recorded a total of 15 studio albums, 2 "live" albums and 3 "Best of..." (some remastered) albums with various line-up's.
The breakthrough came in 1980 with Triple Platinum selling METAL RENDEZ-VOUS. Fernando Von Arb on lead-guitar, Chris Von Rohr on the mighty bass and drummer Freddy Steady established an International identity for the band and instant recognition with the powerful vocals of Marc “the voice” Storace. Three Rock Classics were born (“Bedside Radio”, “Heatstrokes” and “Tokyo Nights”) and caught the attention not only of the Swiss fans but also the British and American public as well as the press. In fact, “Heatstrokes” shot up to first place in the British Heavy Metal charts.
Their follow-up record HARDWARE in 1981 shot straight to GOLD in Switzerland ! It contains the big hits “Winning Man”, “Celebration” and the ultimate anthem for their hard rocking fans, “Easy Rocker”. All remain regular staples in their live set-list to this day.
The Line-Up consisted of: Marc Storace - Fernando Von Arb – Chris Von Rohr – Freddy Steady – Tommy Kiefer [during the US Tour of 1981 Mandy Meyer replaced Tommy Kiefer]
Then in 1982 followed the album ONE VICE AT A TIME. That album contains the hits "Long Stick Goes Boom!", "Down The Drain", "Bad Boys, Rag Dolls", "Playin’ The Outlaw" and the song that opened the doors to Canada : "American Woman". Another GOLD Record Award.
The 1983 HEADHUNTER release was their biggest selling album Worldwide to today. The songs for this album were written in the USA and recorded in Florida. It earned Platinum status in America (over one million copies sold), Gold Record Awards in Switzerland and Canada respectively! “Screaming In The Night” became their biggest hit so far, and still can be found today on radio play lists all around the world as a timeless classic rock ballad. Other songs like “Eat The Rich”, “Stayed Awake All Night” or the title track “Headhunter” are steadily requested by live audiences and the band obliges!
In 1984 THE BLITZ was released. Yet again the band did their song writing in the USA, which by now was practically their second home. They wrote the hits “Midnite Maniac”, “Out Of Control” and the ballad that won young ladies’ hearts, “Our Love”! The rocked up version of “Ballroom Blitz” served not only for the album title but led to a sought after VHS/LaserDisc bit called “The Video Blitz”. The recordings were made in Canada and produced by the late, great Bruce Fairbairn.
1988 the album HEART ATTACK was released and time would tell that this was the last transatlantic concert tour for a long time. This album also featured the only song (“Winning Man”) that was recorded on a studio album twice (first time recording was in 1981 on the “Hardware” album). Musically, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Tonight” showed great live potential but promoting it on the radio waves brought its challenges due to changing music trends! Years of writing, recording and touring endlessly drained the band’s energy ...disheartened and burnt out they did what so many other bands in the eighties did as well: the "ORIGINAL" line-up went on a hiatus “until further notice”.
Now let's "fast forward" to the fall of 2007. The Swiss TV show "Die Grössten Schweizer Hits" ("Greatest Swiss Hits Of All Times") ran a six-part series, each broadcasting on Sunday evenings with different topics to record numbers of viewers. On November 18th KROKUS performed for the first time in 23 years in the classic line-up (minus Tommy Kiefer RIP), featuring Marc Storace on vocals, Fernando Von Arb on guitar, Chris Von Rohr on bass and Freddy Steady on drums. The medley consisted of the songs “Tokyo Nights”, “Bedside Radio” and “Heatstrokes”, all originally released on KROKUS’s 1980 album “Metal Rendez-Vous”.
During the Swiss TV Show the musicians, much to their surprise, were presented by BMG (record label) with the “Diamond Record Award” for overall record sales in Switzerland during their tenure with the label (mainly in the early to mid 80’s). This is an extremely rare award to be handed out. To put this into perspective, the “Diamond Record Award” equals receiving 40 “Gold Record Awards” or 20 “Platinum Record Awards” in comparison.
“Bedside Radio”, originally released in November of 1979 as a single in Switzerland, was back in the “Swiss Hitparade Charts” (equivalent to the US “Billboard Charts”). It shot from zero to 58 immediately in its first week after the broadcast. This originally promoted "one time reunion" would become the overture to the "impossible".
April 20th, 2008 KROKUS announced the comeback of the "originals" that created hit after hit in the early 80's while playing stadiums in the States and Worldwide. KROKUS has come full circle!
The reformed original line-up will only play one concert in 2008 at the "Stade De Suisse" Football Stadium in Bern/Switzerland on August 2nd. Fans from all over the world plan to be part of rock history in the making! After that the band will work on a comeback album to be released sometime in 2009, followed by a tour.
The creation of the "Globe Club", led by longtime friend Peter Waelti, broadens the communication with our fan base in the meantime and offers regular news updates as they become available.
If you have not done so by now, join the free "Globe Club" and receive news on a regular basis. And we'll see you "in concert" in the very near future!
The stage for the glorious return of the "originals" is set! As Marc’s T-shirt during a radio live performance at a classic rock station in Denver/Colorado rightfully reads: "THE PAST IS BACK TO KICK YOUR ASS"

It's Friday and time for another edition of the Hairbanger's Ball. Today we have another video from Butler's Vault. Michael brings you a classic performance from Nazareth.
BIO: (from nazarethdirect.co.uk)
In the early 1960’s there were many fledgling Scottish bands struggling to create a unique sound of their own. A major factor holding them back was their remoteness from the main hub of the UK music business. London was where you had to be and frankly nobody was interested in what was happening north of Watford let alone in Scotland In a gesture of defiance, and self-publicity, guitarist Manny Charlton and The Mark Five, emulated the Jarrow Marchers by demonstration marching all the way from Edinburgh to London. By the time of reaching Market Harborough Fontana offered a “record deal”. However following the release of 'Baby What's Wrong’ Manny Charlton explains, in the end this only aggravated Jock/Sassenach music-biz tensions even more: "We made a record and came against the machine in London. The people just cashed in on the publicity we had and after the record was made we were forgotten." Matters were made even worse by Scottish promoters and ballroom managers who insisted that Scottish groups limit their set-list strictly to covers of singles in the UK top thirty. In other words, performers like Agnew, Charlton, singer and front man Dan McCafferty, and drummerDarrell Sweet were excluded by 'the machine in London', and yet trapped into mimicking its often dire output as well. So, yes, it did really happen that soon-to-be hard rockers Naz were forced - in their original incarnation as the Shadettes - to perform tongue-in-cheek versions of 'Simple Simon Says' if they wanted to get paid after the gig. It was enough to make this group of angry young musos from Dunfermline tell the Brylcreemed Locarno ballroom brigade to stuff it, and instead they went out and conquered the world. What follows is the story – mostly told by Pete Agnew and Dan McCafferty, and possibly in greater detail than ever before - of how Nazareth did just that. But first here are some Naz facts to set the scene. Trailblazers for 1980s Scottish acts like Big Country, Wet Wet Wet, Del Amitri, Deacon Blue, and Texas? Very likely so. Heroes and inspiration for Guns N' Roses? Most definitely. But The Nazareth Story isn't just another from-rags-to-unheard-of-riches tale of making it in rock'n'roll. Several things marked these guys out as a bit different: first, they were married and settled before they decided to take the plunge – in the summer of 1971 - quitting good day-jobs and moving away from home to a grotty communal flat in London; second, they grew up and lived in a conservative-attitudes Scottish town, not a bustling fashion-conscious metropolis like Glasgow. Lastly, in bingo millionaire Bill Fehilly, they had what no other struggling Scottish band had at the time - solid financial backing. So being husbands and fathers meant that once they turned pro they were very focused about what they were going to do – they had to be. Dan McCafferty said something which says a lot about Dunfermline in the early-1970s: once the band had made it, their image – long corkscrew hair, loud flares, and platform boots - did not always sit that comfortably with the folks back home. Dan now fondly remembers returning from yet another gruelling tour and, ever the dutiful husband, he offered to accompany his wife to the supermarket to do the shopping: 'Not dressed like that you won't!' or some such jokey comment was her reply. Dress codes on stage were also an issue back in the 1960s. The Shadettes got no hassle from ballroom managers when they were all kitted out bright yellow suits – regulation show-biz uniforms were fine. But as the progressive rock thing took off in the late-1960s and musicians dressed more to express individuality, some ballroom heavies didn't like it at all: for instance, the thought of someone trying to stop Pete Agnew going on stage because the manager didn't approve of his buckskin jacket seems crazy now but it did happen because that was how things were back then. And then there were times in the very early Nazareth days when Naz's glitter jacket, proto-heavy metal image earned them some scary – even life-threatening – crowd disapproval: like when they supported the seriously dressed-down Rory Gallagher on his late-1972 European tour. Yet, weirdly, all those Shadettes apprentice years as a pop-covers band in Dunfermline's Belleville Hotel and Kinema Ballroom played a big part in Nazareth eventually finding their own formula for international success. How? Well, each and every week without fail during their Belleville Hotel residency they had to learn three new hits from the charts – they'd rehearse them on a Sunday afternoon and perform them that same night. Now how many semi-pro bands these days could cope with nailing down that amount of new repertoire in just a couple of hours, week-in week-out? But maybe that was how Dan, Pete, Manny and Darrell developed the knack of stamping their very own identity on somebody else's hit song, something which for Nazareth in the mid-1970s proved to be the key to the world highway. Whereas their breakthrough in Britain was down to the strength of their own original songwriting on the Razamanaz album - especially Broken Down Angel it was their knack of coming up with totally fresh covers of strong songs written by other people that broke them abroad. They became huge in Canada after This Flight Tonight soared up the singles' charts there, whilst reaching number 11 in Britain. Taken from Joni Mitchell's 1970 Blue album, Nazareth's version – produced by Deep Purple's Roger Glover as part of the Loud'N'Proud sessions - is more than a re-working. What they've done is taken the song from its folk-ballad roots right through to heavy metal. Small wonder then that Joni Mitchell both was stunned by and loved this version, reportedly even calling it a Nazareth song from then on. And critics gave Naz the thumbs-up for going to a lot of trouble doing other people's songs in a way that adds; this at a time when prog-rock virtually dictated that in order to be cool you only did your own material to progress the music (and get those fat songwriting royalty cheques). Reviewing a Nazareth gig at Amersham College, and having heard the band's version of Leon Russell's Alcatraz, Woody Guthrie's Vigilante Man and Tim Rose's Morning Dew Melody Maker's Chris Charlesworth wrote: "Their music is basically rock, spiced with bluesy guitar work from Manny Charlton. They don't rely entirely on original material – in fact it's probably true to say that their best numbers – with one possible exception – are their adaptations of other writer's material. They crack away happily at 'Morning Dew’, which they have probably played at every gig since they turned pro three years ago. It's changed a lot in that time but it's still a good song. Perhaps more groups should realise that someone else's song well played is often a more uplifting experience than an original that's mediocre." And, as Manny Charlton told fanzine Razamanewz, this kind of pressure just went on and right through to the recording in 1977 of album number nine Expect No Mercy: "It was more metal. Not intentional, we didn't go into the studio planning a change in direction. We were under a lot of pressure, and doing a lot of touring at that point. We'd be on tour in Canada and the record company wanted to know where the next album was coming from. We had to get our heads down, eventually we'd get into the studio and…"What're we going to do?" Some albums were written and recorded very quickly, and when you consider that, it's great. Razamanaz was the start of three albums in 15 months, plus tours. It's a lot of work."
Dan McCafferty's take on pressures in the music industry was characteristically blunt and to the point: "It's a funny business because you've got to work your balls off for two years to get there, and when you get there you've got to work even harder to make sure the next one's an even bigger hit." And in year 2000 Pete Agnew reflected during the interview how this kind of time pressure in fact stayed with them right through to 1980s releases such as Sound Elixir: "When we did that album - our last with Billy - the material had a lot of promise but I don't know what we were doing production-wise. The album never ended up sounding good. And I've always thought what a shame we didn't have more time. On our latest album Boogaloo what happened was we mixed it and then the album didn't come out for nearly a year and a half afterwards. And we kept coming back to it and saying 'Er this isn't right' and so we'd add some guitar and re-mix. Now if we had had that kind of space back then it would have made a big difference. Back then we handed the masters to the record company and within six weeks it was on the streets and we were away on tour again." What is typically music-biz about The Nazareth Story, though, is how serious pressure was put on them once Broken Down Angel and its follow-up single 'Bad Bad Boy' charted – reaching 9 and 10 respectively - in 1973. Their record company Mooncrest (a subsidiary of B&C – as was their first label Pegasus) wanted the hits to keep-a-coming. You can see it from B&C's point of view – the company didn't lose faith even when Exercises - their second album, in parts inspired by Grateful Dead's American Beauty classic - stiffed, and now it wanted a return on that investment. But what this did was to put ridiculous demands on the band to deliver. You get an idea of just how ridiculous these demands were by these extracts from press interviews with Pete Agnew and Dan McCafferty just after their first run of chart success: The other thing that Nazareth were about to discover was funny about the business, and their path to success on a global scale, was that there's no accounting for different tastes in the singles' market from country to country. For instance, at the end of 1974 with a further two successful albums out, Loud'N'Proud and Rampant, Mooncrest were eager for more singles' sales. A cover of the 1966 Yardbirds hit Shapes Of Things (from the Rampant album) might have made a good single, but in spring 1974 they chose the self-penned 'Shanghai'd in Shanghai' as a follow-up to September 1973's 'This Flight Tonight'. It failed. Mooncrest still badly wanted another hit so Naz recorded the Everly Brothers' hit Love Hurts written by Boudleaux Bryant. This went nowhere in England but was top ten in America; and then in Norway it reached number one – and stayed there for almost forty weeks. Similarly, their 1971 debut album - warmly received by critics yet not a big seller - had two singles taken from it – both released in 1972 - that did nothing on the home front. But 'Dear John' made the top three in France whilst Morning Dew was big in Germany - enough so to provide the band with a hectic European touring schedule throughout 1972. In America Warner Brothers picked up on 'Morning Dew' and its potential given that the song was written by respected American artist Tim Rose. But sales were poor and at the time Pete Agnew had a sneaking suspicion that this might have been something to do with some hatchet work done by Warners whose good intention was to make the single more radio-friendly: Pete: "It was a seven minute track and they cut it to three. I think Warner Brothers had someone editing for them who we thought must have been a deaf mute – they must have run the tape past him and at three-and-a- half second intervals he would hit it with an axe."
Britain in 1973 most definitely was the year of Nazareth, a year when Melody Maker readers voted them Brightest Hope. But if you look at the UK chart placing of follow-up albums to Razamanaz – which reached number 11 – from 1974 what looks like a gradual decline here is more than offset by a series of breakthroughs on the international scene. Whereas Loud'N'Proud reached number 10, Rampant charted with sales nowhere near as strong, and album six Hair Of The Dog failed to chart in Britain but notched up massive sales world-wide. Musically, 1974's Rampant was a move towards metal and it was also the last of three albums produced by Deep Purple's Roger Glover before Naz's Manny Charlton took over. In 1997, looking back, Manny explained to fanzine Razamanewz the reasons for the split from the man who less than a couple of years earlier had helped the band capture for the first time their live energy on vinyl: "It was a mixture of the band feeling that Roger wasn't keeping up with what we were trying to do, and we were trying to go somewhere and felt it was wrong, and I said I'd like to produce the band. The first thing I did was 'Love Hurts’. We went down to some dingy studio to do it, partly as a stop-gap, and the record company wanted a hit single. We recorded it and thought it was great. Forgot about it and moved on to do the rest of the album. We weren't going to have it on the album, we recorded 'Guilty' for the album. Jerry Moss at A&M Records heard it and said 'That's a hit! Take 'Guilty' off and put that on'. He renewed our contract on the strength of 'The Hair Of The Dog' album. The next singles, 'My White Bicycle' and 'Holy Roller' were recorded to get something out."
1975 saw the release of Hair Of The Dog and the song itself lays down the blueprint for stadium heavy rock and metal anthems of the future: that 'son-of-a-bitch' chorus custom-built for crowd response, and a very heavy rock rhythm from start to finish. Comparisons with AC/DC are natural – but the point is that Nazareth and Aerosmith were the pioneers.... and the rest followed. So it's not surprising then that Guns N' Roses were big fans of Nazareth, as Pete Agnew explained to Metal Hammer's Tom Russell. Russell interviewed that band when they first came to England and were playing club venues like the Marquee, and the tape they had on in their hotel room was … Nazareth's Greatest Hits. Pete Agnew then remembered how "just before Guns N' Roses broke we played seven gigs in California as part of our US tour, and they came to every one. They were just fans of the band. It seems that Nazareth and Aerosmith were, to them, what the Beatles and Stones were to us. They were all right blokes. It seems that now [1992] they are becoming more and bizarre but at that time they were great guys. In fact Axl wanted us to play 'Love Hurts' at his wedding!”
With Nazareth's cover of Tomorrow's 1967 hit 'My White Bicycle' - which got them to 14 in the singles chart in spring 1975 – Naz again showed their talent for creating new out of old, but it was to be their penultimate taste of the top twenty. Self-penned American rock-influenced 'Holy Roller' crept up to 36 in late-1975 whilst 1976's crop of three singles - 'Carry Out Feelings', 'You're The Violin', and 'I Don't Want To Go On Without You' – all flopped. Just as the 'White Bicycle' single began to chart B&C Records went into liquidation and it was only swift action on Mountain's behalf that saved the day. Mountain formed their own label and cut a licensing deal with EMI (B&C's distributor) who continued to press their records until Phonogram took over distribution.
Close Enough For Rock'n'Roll - Naz's seventh album - came out in early 1976 and was their first on the Mountain label, as well as the first to be recorded in Canada. The opener 'Telegram' is a musical diary entry by a successful hard rock band who are growing a tad weary forever slogging it out on the road. The album achieved little in Britain - no big surprise there - but helped to consolidate Nazareth's hold on Canada where they became one of the biggest British acts ever, notching up no less than fifty gold and platinum albums there during the 1970s. America also beckoned, big time, as their US label A&M Records increasingly regarded them as a priority act. Mountain had the rights to the old material and naturally was determined to milk it for what it was worth. The Greatest Hits album was out in the shops in time for Christmas '75 but didn't chart. A couple of years later in November 1977 they released an extended-play 45 called the Hot Tracks EP which featured 'Love Hurts' 'This Flight Tonight' 'Broken Down Angel' and 'Hair Of The Dog' as well. Reaching number 15 it would be Nazareth's final 7" top twenty hit. Play 'N' The Game was album number eight (not counting Greatest Hits) and released in November 1976. It continued the pattern of doing next to nothing sales-wise in England (where, for a couple of years to come, punk rock's cut-throat irreverence eclipsed most acts who dared to take their own music seriously) and yet sold shed-loads abroad – breaking Nazareth in South America. Sadly, it was around this time that the band lost their manager Bill Fehilly – killed in a plane crash. Bill, a Scottish bingo millionaire, was never a music-biz mentor and hustler in the Andrew Loog Oldham/Peter Grant mould, but from their 1971 debut album Nazareth onwards he kept on coming up with the readies – and even during the band's tricky Exercises phase Bill remained unfazed. Pete and Dan are the first to acknowledge that without Bill Fehilly Nazareth would never have crossed the border to England – never mind the world. A year later in November 1977 came album number nine – Expect No Mercy – and a definite shift by Nazareth to the AOR market. Adult Oriented Rock was newly created around that time mainly by two bands – the Eagles, and Fleetwood Mac with their monster Rumours album - and on songs like Manny Charlton's 'Shot Me Down' you can hear a big Mac influence. Typical of eclectic Nazareth is a funky 12-bar version of the Ray Charles' classic ‘Busted’; and an equally strong cover of Randy Newman's 'Gone Dead Train' from the album reached number 49 in the singles charts. The other single 'Place In Your Heart' got no further than a bubbling under 70.It was high time for a change. Guitarist Zal Cleminson (ex-Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Zal, and Tear Gas) was asked to join, and as Manny Charlton told Razamanewz, he brought a lot of energy and ideas with him: "Getting a second guitarist was pretty much my decision, I think. I told the guys that I'd asked Zal to come along and play on the next album. I felt at that point that I was getting kind of stretched as a guitarist, and wanted someone else I admired and inspired me. I learnt a lot from Zal, a great player. From what I read he loved it. It was a brave decision to leave, to do what he wanted to do. When he came into the band he was real enthusiastic. I really enjoyed working with him and was disappointed when he left." Cleminson joined in time to record Nazareth's tenth – No Mean City out in January 1979. Naz as a twin-guitar quintet worked wonders even in Britain where 'May The Sun Shine' almost nudged the top twenty, reaching number 22. 'Star' was the follow-up in July 1979 but only got to 54, and as such was Nazareth's final singles chart entry. For Malice In Wonderland Nazareth’s eleventh album released in February 1980, Manny Charlton handed over the producer's hot seat to Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter, pedal-steel guitarist/guitarist with the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. This turned out to be a controversial move within the band– Manny "I stopped [producing] because I wanted to learn. I'd done five albums and felt that the band was in a sort of rut, and I wanted someone else to produce the album. The record company recommended Jeff Baxter. Another guy who wanted to do it was Bruce Fairburn who went on to do Aerosmith, that was one decision I wish had gone the other way." A lot of Zal Cleminson went into the album with songs like Hearts Grown Cold and Showdown At The Border. Zal was also heavily involved in Talkin' To One Of The Boys, So naturally he was hacked off, when in Britain the album went nowhere, with a bullet. But another far more serious development also caused the guitarist to want to quit, In early 1980 the boys got a devastating piece of news which came totally out of the blue: Mountain was heavily in debt and about to go bust. So for weeks on end, instead of rehearsing, Pete and Dan were on the telephone full-time talking to moneymen and just desperately trying to pick themselves off the floor. Zal just wanted to play – day and night - and couldn't deal with all the financial hassles getting in the way of rehearsals. So he left to form his own band, Tandoori Cassette, which never took off. Completing the dozen, The Fool Circle was out in February 1981 – It was Naz's first release on NEMS - and made the album charts but only at number 60. The band once more recorded as a 4-piece – with ex-Spirit keyboardist John Locke filling out the sound on a few tracks - and the music veered away from the commercial, sometimes American-rock of Malice In Wonderland, and instead was a mixed bag of rock, reggae and blues, with some socially aware political lyrics thrown in as well. Pete now reflects: "The Fool Circle was a different kind of turn for us I guess. We wrote that kind of separately - Dan and I wrote half of it and Manny did the rest."
After The Fool Circle a respected young guitar slinger and songwriter from Glasgow who had played in Cleminson's band Zal, of five months, was recruited. His name was Billy Rankin and around the same time John Locke was keen to join up, and so the next album release – the very high energy live double-album 'Snaz recorded in Vancouver in May 1981 - featured what Dan and Pete now call the Nazareth 6-piece orchestra. As before, it was Naz's take on rock classics such as J.J. Cale's 'Cocaine' and Z.Z. Top's 'Tush' that helped to make the album a massive international seller. The band also recorded a live video in Houston Texas on the tour, a great live show, with added interviews from the band. In 1982 the band released 2XS featuring 'Dream on' sold very well in the States and Europe extending the band's already extensive touring schedule even further. 2XS amazingly wasn't even released in Britain thanks to legal hassles with their new label NEMS. With Locke out, the 5-piece produced Sound Elixer another eclectic set taking in soul and funk as well. After the tour to promote the album ,Billy decided to leave the band to persue a solo career, he released two solo albums 'Growing up to fast' featuring the US top forty hit 'Baby Come Back' single. and Crankin'. Nazareth was now back to their original 4-piece line-up. In 1984 they landed a UK record deal with Vertigo and released The Catch, a Full UK tour followed, including a support slot at the Milton Keynes bowl with Status Quo.In 1985 the band's by now ex-manager Jim White attempted to release Sound Elixir in England on his Sahara label until a court ruling went against him. In 1986 Nazareth put out there rockiest album in years 'Cinema' It was a welcome return to form for the band. But it wasn't to last! In 1989 came the controversial Snakes and Ladders – out on Vertigo in Europe but not released in England. Events and weird scenes that surrounded the production of that album eventually led to Manny Charlton leaving in 1990 after twenty-two years with the band. At the start of 1990, after a tour of Russia, tensions in the band were high due to the lack of label support or promotion...long time member Manny Charlton left the band. For the first time in Nazareth's 22-year career the bands 4 original members were no longer together. With the departure of Manny the band agreed there was only one logical choice to fill Manny's post Billy Rankin. Billy accepted and rejoined Nazareth as Lead guitarist.
After Rehearsals and a few warm up gigs in Scotland the Band were back on the road, with tours in America, Russia and Europe. Soon after they entered the studio and began writing new material for the new album that was to become NO JIVE. Touring throughout 1992 to promote the album, including their first UK dates for 8 years, The album sold well, with virtually no airplay! NAZ was back and stronger than ever. In 1994 the band were back in the studio again to record MOVE ME, with a new deal with Polydor things were looking good. During that year Billy, Pete and Dan undertook 2 short unplugged tours of the UK,where songs like 'Simple Solution' and 'Shapes Of Things' were given the acoustic treatment. These shows are particularly memorable for their intimate nature and humour content. Unfortunately as the band were due to start rehearsals for the forthcoming Move me tour, Billy once again left, due to band politics. A young Scots Guitarist by the name of Jimmy Murrison, who was playing with Pete's son Lee in the band 'Trouble in Doogie land' was contacted by Pete and asked if he would like to join the band, (Pete had seen Jimmy play Many times and was very impressed) Jimmy accepted' and became the new Guitarist for Nazareth. It was also decided to add a keyboard player to the band once again, so they contacted their old friend Ronnie Leahy . Ronnie had played with Pete and Dan in The Party Boys from time to time. Ronnie accepted the offer to join. So now back as a five piece, the band started rehearsing for another world tour to promote the Move me Album. Revitalized and rocking'1995/96 saw the band touring the world in support of MOVE ME. The tour has taken the band to Russia (twice), Europe, Brazil, USA, and Canada. Upon returning from their RussiaManaz Part I Tour, the long awaited break Naz had been looking for happened, a signing to a major label! SPV has picked the band up for a three record deal! It seems both SPV & CASTLE recognised the fact that NAZ still draws well at concerts and that their back catalogue has sold well, not to mention their two latest CD's kick some serious ass. After the MOVE ME World Tour ended, the boys headed home to Scotland for a well-earned rest. The band didn't rest too long before they began rehearsing new material for their 20th studio album! They began recording in March of 1997. Darrell said "the new stuff is heavier than No Jive, but it wouldn't be a Nazareth album without a ballad." The band began a world tour in July of 1997 to Sweden, Czech Republic, Canada and US. The boys re-entered the studio to remixed the new (Boogaloo) album. BOOGALOO-the long awaited new album featuring the new members Jimmy Murrison and Ronnie Leahy. was released in1998 the year that also saw them celebrating 30 years in the Rock Business, quite an accomplishment in the world of rock n roll. The release of Boogaloo in Europe on SPV. saw critics begin raving about Boogaloo - it seemed Nazareth were beginning to be noticed once again by the industry. The success of Boogaloo in Europe and the success of The Double Trouble Tour (with Uriah Heep) led to a signing with the major US label, CMC International. After several months on the road, the band headed home for a short break. They regrouped to embark on a longer and bigger tour of US/Canada to support the growing success of Boogaloo. As the Naz machine began climbing to the top again, tragedy struck! On April 30, 1999 founding member and drummer Darrell Sweet died suddenly from a major heart attack. The band had just arrived at the venue for the first show of their Boogaloo Tour when Darrell fell ill. As Darrell stepped off the bus with paramedics - he collapsed and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Shattered - the band understandably cancelled the tour and headed home to Scotland. The future was in limbo for a few months as the families, band, and crew tried to digest what had happened. But after several band meetings, it was decided that Darrell would have wanted them to continue on. In fine tribute to Darrell, the band selected Lee Agnew, Pete’s eldest son, to fill the drumming duties for Nazareth. Lee was a natural choice as he is a very talented and accomplished drummer, already knew the music, learned tips from Darrell and he knew all the guys already. After a few months of rehearsing - the band got ready for their first ever tour without Darrell. They amazed everyone - they played better and stronger than ever. Lee had won the hearts and support of Naz fans everywhere. The band enjoyed how well they were playing and the audience acknowledged this everywhere they played! (Darrell is surely smiling with pride!). Over the last few years Nazareth have carried on touring around the world, A UK tour with their old mates URIAH HEEP, in March 2001 saw the first British shows for many years,and ending with a great gig at the Astoria in London to a sell out audience. On October the 20th 2001 Nazareth Played to a sold out crowd at the Garage in Glasgow, the show was recorded for a new live album and DVD titled Homecoming. It was a great night of rock'n'roll and one the fans will treasure forever! 2002 was yet another busy one for the band, with extensive tours of the States and Europe and ending up with a triumphant show in Dunfermline at Christmas when they topped the bill at their annual charity concert. Sadly that was to be the last time keyboardist Ronnie Leahy appeared with the band, Ronnie had decided to hang up his road shoes and retire from touring. So, once again Nazareth were back to being a four piece again, They took hold of the challenge that change brings, regrouped, and filled 2003 with a live schedule, which would leave many new bands gasping. the set list was changed with some old favourites being brought back, including 'Witchdoctor Woman' from their very first album NAZARETH way back in 1971. 2004 saw the band head out to the USA, Russia ,Israel and Europe, plus a welcome return to the UK for some shows at the end of the year.. 2005 saw the band on the road for most of the year again, but during the summer they did find time to Record a new DVD at Shepperton Studios, Titled 'Live from classic T Stage' it sees the band run through their most recent live set, the DVD also features film of the band on the road. During 2007 the band continued with tours around the world including sell out shows in Brazil, where a new live DVD was filmed of one of the Shows. During September and October the band went to Switzerland to begin work on their long awaited new album, the first since Boogaloo back in 1998. 2008 Marks the bands '40th Anniversary' since the Original four members got together back in Scotland in 1968, The 40th anniversary tour kicks off at the end of January when the band will be undertaking one of the biggest tours of their careers, The New album 'The News' is set for release in February.

Welcome to Hairbanger's Ball. This week we have another classic video from Butler's Vault. This is the Joe Perry Project.
BIO:
The Joe Perry Project was essentially Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry’s solo project, which Perry started working on shortly before his departure from Aerosmith in 1979. Perry signed a record deal almost immediately after his exit from the band with Aerosmith’s label, Columbia Records, who were disappointed with the chaos in the Aerosmith camp and hoping to maneuver Perry back into Aerosmith.
The original band line-up consisted of Perry, singer Ralph Morman, bassist David Hull and drummer Ronnie Stewart. This line-up recorded The Project’s 1980 debut album, Let the Music Do the Talking, which was produced by long-time Aerosmith producer Jack Douglas. The album was fairly well received and sold a respectable 250,000 copies in the US.
During the tour in support of the album, Morman was fired and replaced by Joey Mala, who lasted until the end of the tour, when he in turn was replaced by singer and rhythm guitarist Charlie Farren. This line-up recorded one album, I’ve Got the Rock’n’Rolls Again, which was released to little attention in 1981. Columbia’s reluctance to promote the album combined with Perry’s continuing drug problems led to Perry’s firing the entire band in 1982.
Equipped with a new record label (MCA Records) and three new band members in singer Cowboy Mach Bell, bassist Danny Hargrove and drummer Joe Pet, the band released Once a Rocker, Always a Rocker in 1983. The album met the same fate as its predecessor, selling a meager 40,000 copies without any promotion whatsoever. Despite the poor sales, The Project went out on a final tour in support of the album, adding then ex-Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford to the line-up. The following year, both Perry and Whitford would rejoin Aerosmith for a very successful reunion, at which point The Project had been disbanded.
A compilation album, The Best of the Joe Perry Project, was released by an Australian Indie Record label in 1999.

Rock and Roll Geek Show 346 - Rock City Angels Interview February 28, 2009 · Print This Article
A super in-depth interview with Bobby Durango, singer for Rock City Angels. It is a long interview and a tale that I think needs to be told. Hear the story of a band that was signed to Geffen Records at around the same time Guns N’ Roses were signed to the same label and the completely different ways both bands were treated by that label. We talk about everything from the infamous conspiracy theory behind their debut release ‘Young Man’s Blues’, Johnny Depp’s time in the band to the long overdue new record “Use Once and Destroy. Bobby was extremely honest in this interview and nothing was held back. If you are in an up and coming rock band and want to hear what really happens when a band gets signed, you should listen to this interview.

Michael Butler makes Chicken n Dumplings
Recipe:
Ingredients Chicken: * 1 (2 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces * 3 ribs celery, chopped * 1 large onion, chopped * 2 bay leaves * 2 chicken bouillon cubes * 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of celery or cream of chicken soup
Dumplings: * 2 cups all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon salt * Ice water
Directions To start the chicken: Place the chicken, celery, onion, bay leaves, bouillon, and House Seasoning in a large pot. Add 4 quarts of water and in water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer the chicken until it is tender and the thigh juices run clear, about 40 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and, when it is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and separate the meat from the bones. Return the chicken meat to the pot. Keep warm over low heat.
To prepare the dumplings: Mix the flour with the salt and mound together in a mixing bowl. Beginning at the center of the mound, drizzle a small amount of ice water over the flour. Using your fingers, and moving from the center to the sides of the bowl, gradually incorporate about 3/4 cup of ice water. Knead the dough and form it into ball.
Dust a good amount of flour onto a clean work surface. Roll out the dough (it will be firm), working from center to 1/8-inch thick. Let the dough relax for several minutes.
Add the cream of celery soup to the pot with the chicken and simmer gently over medium-low heat.
Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces. Pull a piece in half and drop the halves into the simmering soup. Repeat. Do not stir the chicken once the dumplings have been added. Gently move the pot in a circular motion so the dumplings become submerged and cook evenly. Cook until the dumplings float and are no longer doughy, 3 to 4 minutes.
To serve, ladle chicken, gravy, and dumplings into warm bowls.

Jasper and Michael Shoot the Sh*t
Zaldor comes on an hour into the show and then it gets really uncomfortable.
On this show I 'celebrate' 301 episodes by drinking Tsingtao beer, playing some great rock and your show reviews and audio comments. Thanks for making these last 3 1/2 years great for me, I really appreciate it.

On this show, I interviewed Bob Spencer from the Angels (Angel City) and Skyhooks. In my opinion, the Angels lineup with Bob Spencer was the strongest. He was really nice and spoke honestly about a lot of topics, including the rumors of Doc Neeson returning to the Angels.
Jasper and Michael Shoot the Sh*t
Topics:
Killola hates Jasper and other conspiracy theories.
This show was inspired from a great email from a listener named Brian. He called me out for something I said on the Good Clean Fun show with Jasper about George Lynch from Dokken.
I also play a show review by friend of the show, Stuart of the Stone Gods.
