One of my biggest regrets in life - I spent a little over a week in Cuba... in April... with sunshine throughout the entire time - and never once played that song.
Fucking idiot.

Always loved this one from Dragon the best…..I love the grumpy old folks giving them shitty looks !

Great tune. Marc Hunter was one hell of a singer

Paul Di’Anno, early frontman for Iron Maiden, dies aged 66

The vocalist, who went on to form Battlezone and Killers, had experienced a number of health issues in recent years

Bruce Dickinson was an upgrade yes, but Di’anno did some awesome stuff too.

I saw on FB he hadn’t been well for awhile…..

RIP, thanks for playing your part in an amazing group !!

[Bovidae]

Yes, he has had some major health issues and was in a wheelchair.
