242.0. "Girlschool" by ANT::SLABOUNTY (Trouble with a capital 'T') Tue Sep 20 1988 16:15

    Well, I heard 'Playing Dirty' on a "Metal Shop" a couple years
    ago, and kinda like it so I bought 'Hit and Run' out of a dis-
    count bin at Strawberries.

    I dug it out again this morning and was anything but impressed:
    the lead singer is OK, and definitely British - but nothing in-
    credible.  The guitarist is OK.

    It's hard to describe, but they don't make me wanna start a fan
    club or anything.  Their song titles are pretty good, but they
    could do more with them if they wanted:
    

    Hit and Run
    Yeah Right (complete waste of time ... useless to even try)
    
    Oh, I can't remember any more ... as if it matters.

    Anyone else think differently, or able to recommend another one
    of their albums that is better than this one?

    I kinda liked that album but a better look at them would be 
    Screaming Blue Murder the first three songs of side one are
    good.The funny thing about this band is that they have a very
    light metal sound but they used to hang out alot with Motorhead.

                I saw them at the Centrum a few years ago.  They
                BLEW!!  I forget with who though (Dio maybe?)

        Pete:
    
               Thank you for that insightful commentary.  8^)
    
               I think I'll check out 'Screaming (whatever)' and
               see how it sounds.

	Chris Bonacci (guitarist) has left Girlschool after 6 years with
	the outfit....she sez she's fed up with doing the same old thing
	and would ratehr be in a band that plays in a rehersal studio rather
	than a pub!  (Snob! -Flip)
