Never forget the first time I heard Rock City, I was hooked. Loved Riot and had the privilege to meet them back in 1981

Aussie Dave, unfortunately to many people stuck their oar in. Voiced an opinion based on assumptions. As a mate said, the only people that had a genuine grievance where the ones that paid for tickets, flights and hotels. I fleetingly toyed with the idea of going as it’s only a 3 hour flight across the ditch, but the line up didn’t grab me. The thought of meeting up with a mate in Melbourne wa

I played both songs back to back last night, and I can see where Rocknut is coming from, the first few minutes of the intros are almost identical. Listen to the riff at the beginning of Accept flash rocking man the Riots that’s almost identical. Having said that I can’t listen to anything new these days as it’s uninspiring, unimaginative and unoriginal.

What a marvellous ripoff it is too. Didn’t Led Zep rip of Spirit, Greta Van Fleet rip of Led Zep, Accept “Flash rockin man” rip of Riots Swords and Tequila. The list is endless, I think it’s a great album.

Deuce, just seen the Best of on Spotify. The debut really didn’t grab my attention, although there are some catchy tunes on it. The story behind the recording of the second album makes it every more interesting. I heard the record company pulled the record of the shelves shortly after it was released. Although it was easily available in cut out bins and second hand record stores.

The album Black Betty was on the debut, called simply Ram Jam. It’s a very uninspiring album. Think the band where together for a few weeks before cutting it. 1978 saw the release of “Portrait of an Artist as a Young Ram”. Now this is a different beast altogether. It is packed full of classic hard rock, a tour de force, full of hard rock magnificent. Flying out of the speakers are tracks li

How’s this for a bit of trivia, Black Betty was never recorded by Ram Jam, it was recorded by Bill Bartletts previous band Star Struck. The history of Ram Jam history is really interesting, having been covered by Derek Oliver and Dave Reynolds in the reissues of Portrait of an Artist as a young Man and the Speedway Bld reissue. Even though Ram Jam was Bills band he didn’t even play on “Pro

The Kiss lip sync is the most boring tedious thread that keeps rearing its ugly head. Some people seem to have way to much spare time on their hands.

The Zon live was released by Howard Helm, it was a CD-R with a cheap cardboard cover, it was one of the most expensive CD I bought, due to the postage from Canada. Upon receiving it, it was the biggest waste of money.

Thanks for the info. Couldn’t tell the difference, so will stick with Spotify.

I am thinking about stopping buying CDs and getting Cambridge Streamer. My wife has a free subscription to Spotify that we use, and the content satisfies my lust for obscure Southern Rock and 1970s Rock, does Tidal have the same content or does it only have mainstream music. Thanks.

I read Sully's interview, I didn't feel it was self serving, just highlighted the pain his family, friends and all Rush fans are going through.

If your into power trios, check out Blackhorse from Texas, Highway Robbery “for the love of money” and Axis “it’s a circus world”.

Having Riot on the bill was extra special for me, loved that band. It took me 5 hours to get back home on a train. Me and my friends where stuck in a corridor of a first class compartment. We arrived at Euston around 5am.
