I know there's a thread below extoling the virtues of this very fine album, so this is more just a heads up that, should you want to check it out, Amazon (UK) currently have it on offer for £5.99. Absolute bargain! https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=billy+gibbons+hardware&crid=3N7PAKDHL7OGB&sprefix=billy+gibbon%2Caps%2C789&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_4_12

Fred joined too late to play on the debut (Jody Cortez drums on that). Andy Johns (who was notoriously hard on drummers) didn't want him on 'Long Cold Winter'. Cozy Powell and Denny Carmassi play on that (although Fred claims some of the drum tracks he played made the album). Cozy once said he didn't know why he was asked to redo Fred's parts as he just had to copy them anyway. Not sure on 'Still

As a Hammer, it was great to see Leicester win the cup. Great team, proper football side. One of the best keepers in the league.

Anthem are great. There were a few really good thrash bands from Japan too (Outrage and United especially)

Like Fox, I found a lot to like in the Japanese metal scene: Loudness being the obvious one, plus the aforementioned 44 Magnum, Bow (Vow) Wow, EZO and, of course, Earthshaker. The singing in Japanese (or the heavy accents) never bothered me and they were always top notch musicians, especially the guitarists. I saw Loudness at the Marquee back in '84 (and opening for Saxon a few years later) and t

I agree Mike, I thought it ended in the way you would expect a huge systemic police corruption enquiry to end in the 'real world', with everything being quietly swept under the carpet by the top brass and a convenient 'fall guy' (in this case Buckles) to help tie up the loose ends. I agree Buckles wasn't the bad guy everyone wanted though, but not everything can have the 'Hollywood' ending. And t

It originally came out in '86 on Curb Records as 'Live, Live, Live' but was reissued under the title 'All Time Greatest Hits - Live' in 1990. The material was recorded in '85

But that extra 'e' wouldn't change the fact that the 'W' is pronounced with a 'V' sound though would it? You know, as in Volkswagen where the 'V' is an 'F' sound and the 'W' is a 'V' sound. So you'd say 'FolksVAHgen' not 'VolksWagon' in German?

Per has a lot of cool releases to his name aside from the ones mentioned; including Mojobone, King Hobo (with Jean-Paul from Clutch), Bakerton Group (Clutch side project) plus guest appearances with everybody from Arch Enemy to Grand Magus.

Whilst Kamchatka are 100% influenced by 60s/70s groups, they're not from that time period. They formed in 2001. They are a fantastic power trio though, featuring Per Wiberg (Opeth/Candlemass, etc.) and a brilliant guitarist/singer in Thomas 'Juneor' Andersson
