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 !!

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

I remember the guy in the background, pretty sure he had a couple of seconds in the opening. Funny that he was an actual lifeguard while on the show

Damn, I just finished watching the Baywatch doco on Disney where he was one of the ones they focused on for the series.
