Re: heavy metal

I went to school in Scotland and I'd heard of Dokken. Mostly through the kids taping albums and swapping them!

Pink Fairies I know mainly through a Motorhead association. The guitarist Larry Wallis I think actually played with the very early Motorhead circa 1975 or so and appears on their quasi official release ON Parole. I have heard some Pink Fairies albums and to be honest I can see why they are mostly forgotten now. It's rough rock and roll with some occasionally scorching guitar solos, but the production is pretty bad, the songs aren't as memorable as some other 70s bands and the singing is mediocre. I like them, sort of, but I can see why they didn't survive the musical evolutionary race.

Re: heavy metal

Head Girl was a collaboration between Motorhead and Girlschool. Girl were a different band - that was the group Phil Collen was in before he joined Def Leppard.

The new Maiden song transported me back thirty years. Easily their best since the Powerslave era.

Re: heavy metal

I'm a really boring old rocker. I remember all these bands like Fanny and Girlschool. Wasn't there a band called Girl as well ?

Were Fanny American ? It's one of those words that means something different in America as it does here.

A lot of bands that weren't associated with HM when they started, are often a different deal live. Eg Foreigner. Saw them a few years ago and it seems they've become a heavy metal band.

I think you mean Head Girl.

Re: heavy metal

This thread started, mentioning the band Dokken. Funnily enough as I was looking thru some music sites looking to add AOR/Prog/Progmetal, etc to my collection of over 1Tb I came across this. No, not a you tube video, but a discography of everything they have done 1979-2011. Free torrent too.

Re: heavy metal

Black Sabbath are my all time favourite band, also love Purple, Zep, Maiden, Motorhead, Ac/Dc ect. Another good under rated band is Mountain, "Nantucket Sleighride (To Owen Coffin)" is a brilliant song.

Re: heavy metal

Never Heard of Dokken. I was never into Heavy metal. loved sabbath and deep purple.

I remember the Pink Fairies pretty well, what a bunch is still a regularly played record,
haven't got round to buying a CD player yet.

In 1974 a girl I knew went to live in a squat in Cambridge Gardens[?] off the Portobello road, we used to go
into the Mountain Grill and saw Hawkwind and the Pinks around quite a lot. saw them play all over the place
for a few years, last time I saw them was in Fairfield halls Croydon in late 1995.

Up the Pinks....

Re: heavy metal

lol yeah, I remember Dokken. Got vaguely into them after watching Nightmare on Elm Street 3, because they did the "theme song", 'Dream Warriors.'

Pink Fairies though draws a blank from me...

Re: heavy metal

saw dokken live in the late 70,s supporting the scorpions, they were ok but a bit like early bon jovi.. it also depends on what you class as heavy metal ? i have seen hundreds of bands in the last 36years {i am 50} from the sweet in 1974 upto ac/dc last year and most of the concerts were ac/dc..slade..motorhead..judas priest..whitesnake..metallica..thin lizzy..deep purple..pink floyd..led zeppelin..iron maiden..rose tattoo..airbourne..motley crue..kiss...nirvana..foo fighters..chilli peppers..rammstein...van halen..sex pistols..rainbow..nazareth..alex harvey band..t.rex..mott the hoople..bad company... the list goes on and on and the only two i regard as heavy metal are motorhead & metallica the rest i class as hard rock..........

Re: heavy metal

guy I know plays in a Budgie tribute band around the Notts area, In for the Kill, who are excellent by the way, check you tube for them. Anyway, they were setting up for a gig in a pub and this guy approaches him comments that his guitar look great. They get chatting about guitars, the guy with his American twang says that his band are playing a gig in Rock City later, and did he fancy a quick jam. Guy I know does not really like jamming so he says no, bu the guy has a quick go on the guitars anyway and says thanks before leaving.

His mate comes over a says do you not know who that was, no he says, It was George Lynch, from Dokken, who just happens to be one of this guys all time heroes, he simply did not recognise him. Open ground to be swallowed up
