Ha! In the mid 80's I used to have a pepe denim jacket with Iron Maiden patches sown on by my old gran!

By the end of the decade I was more of a raver with mosher leanings.

I used to love Queensrhyche. I still listen to their album Operation Mindcrime now and again. Helloween too, they were a mad fast German band.

I went to see a few of my old faves a few years back in concert... Iron Maiden rocked! ACDC were very loud. Judas Priest were a bit sad. Alice Cooper was a strange one, it was like all the fans from back in the day had grown older and trendier and just wanted a nice little concert .. no chance mate! Alice was the best!!

Dokken, didnt they do the title song to one of the nightmare on elm street films, remember the video and the guitarist had a skeleton on his guitar that came to life, or matbe im wrong

don't remember Pink Fairies but do remember Dokken.
not heard any of their stuff but did see pics of them in Metal Hammer, Kerrang and Raw magazines.

I vaguely remember Dokken, although I don't have anything by the band.

I do definitely recall the Pink Fairies, who were around at the same time as Hawkwind - I think the two bands often helped each other out. I remember the drummer was called Twink, and the guitarist was Larry Wallis. I have his "Police Car" single on Stiff Records in my collection somewhere. he did do some producing for bands like The Adverts, and I suspect he did play on a lot of those early Stiff records.

Larry also played guitar with Motorhead in their early days, who of course have became quite a legendary rock band!
