Red Terror the album is indeed Made in Japan...<br />

I know the record very well, it was a high school staple. What is less remembered by me is the name of the movie (or tv special) which I've never seen since. I can't remember the title, but I saw that before I discovered the album, and I've always associated them together. For all I know, the movie might not have been filmed in Japan at all. There is a dvd from that era ("MkII") recorded in Denmark, perhaps that's what TVNZ broadcast? Dunno, it's a mystery to me.<br />
<br />
Check out the mullets (more like helmets) from MkI at the Playboy Mansion, Blackmore giving Hef guitar lessons, not easy to do smoking a pipe, and Hef interviewing Lord about poltergeists... they almost look like they're wearing wigs!<br />

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I clearly recall the "Encyclopedia of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal" published about two decades ago repeatedly stressed as ex-cathedra truth that Metal had a Holy Trinity, and that trinity was Zeppelin + Sabbath + Purple, in no specific order.

Those haircuts are nothing short of fucken horrific ! none of them would ever need crash helmets.....<br />
<br />
JC, totally agree, I've heard Blackmore is a Grade A fuckwit ( to quote Norm Hewitt ) but no denying the dude can play. Fucken awesome stage presence as well. YOu can see how he influenced all the shredders of the 80's and beyond ( although he was more subdued in the video above ) -
Oh, boy. The mystery deepens... what happened to Great Barrier Island's most (in)famous resident??<br />

I have met him and hung out with him several times, but haven't seen him in a few years (I did some photo work, video shoots, interviews). In 1995 (maybe '94?) he was under instructions from management, on the first night of the N.American tour in Toronto (Pandemonium) the record label had him on a curfew (if you can believe it!), he had jet-lag (or reverse jet-lag, I s'ppose) having flown from the UK the night before, and got up at 4 am and went on a walkabout. His management checked on him in the early morning, he was gone, they got an APB to the cops and he was later found strolling. He has showed me the slash scars on his wrists where he tried cutting himself... he didn't say he was attempting suicide, and he didn't say what age he did that, but I deduced it was serious. Speaking of vodka ... His management also forbade him from drinking on the entire tour, which meant I had to sit with a polystyrene cup in my left hand and a bottle of black label Smirnoff (the really expensive, really high proof vodka) in my right hand, lest management catch him, so I had to keep passing the cup back n' forth to him while he got sheepishly hammered. He invited me and my buddy to ride the bus with him to Montreal, a decision we passed on and have regretted ever since. The guy is a charismatic nutter.<br />

Jaz, I hope you're alright. -
True to the title of the thread. This is what I'm listening to at this very moment. Having a nostalgia trip filcking around on Youtube and came across this great live version of Johnny Was. Considering it was done in 1999, well past the shelf life a band like SLF should have had, it is great.<br />
<br />
SLF's Hanx live album is in my alltime top10 yet I don't listen too it that much nowdays (I must be getting old). When I do crank it up though, it's a treat. One of the best ever live albums IMO.<br />
<br />
And yes, that is Bruce Foxton on Bass. He played with the Fingers for 15 years (much longer than he did with The Jam).<br />

Btw, no disturbance in the force... Jaz has been found working in the Sahara desert. (The Nirvana Symphony??)

I've seen these guys twice, they play at my friends club. I think they are kinda local to where I am (?), as they've played the same club several times, and seem to be flying under the radar. Don't know very much about them, but they have a fairly cool sound. The chick lead singer is cute, but is mesmerizingly awkward in her movements performing on stage. -
This is farkin' excellent!<br />

I used to think that Rick Wakeman was a pretentious poseur, but the more I see him in documentaries I find him quite hilarious. -

That's cool. I think she's a bit of an odd ball, and undertook years of formal musical training. Reminds me a bit of Zola Jesus.<br />
<br />
Their album's got lots of good reviews (from Pitchfork etc), but they dont seem to have had a break out.
