    I saw Pat Travers at the Channel a couple of months ago. He is 
    still plugging away. The show was real good (opened up with Snortin'
    Whiskey, and just went up from there). Pat played keyboards pretty
    well also.
    
    He mentioned an album he hopes to have out soon, but no word yet!
    If he comes to a club near you, check it out! He's still got it!

    re .11
    
    Any word of a new BOC album? It's been quite a while since their
    last "effort" (Club Ninja is certainly not my favorite album but
    did have its moments) and they used to be pretty good about putting
    out one album each summer.
    
    As an aside, anyone know if "Cultosaurus Erectus" is available on
    CD? One of my favorite BOC albums, classic songs like "The Unknown
    Tongue" and "Lips in the Hills".

    Believe it or not "Hatchet" is still around.  They played in a club
    in Spartanburg (about 35 mins from here) twice since I arrived in
    Greenville.  They kinda faded like the Outlaws did...  I guess they
    do the club tour scene.  Damn, I liked those first two albums too...

    What ever happened to Barry Goudreau the lesser known guitarist
    of Boston? He had a solo album come out around 81' with all the
    members of Boston with the exception of Tom Scholz. He also had
    a band called Orion The Hunter that put out an album in 84'.

    Well, as far as the first album controversy, it depends on who you
    listen to. Goudreau says he played a lot of those leads. Scholtz
    says "no, no, no, I played that stuff". So it depends on who you
    believe at this point. I dunno about Tom having to play catch-up
    ever since - I have a live Boston LP from 1978, and both guitarists
    are pretty hot (see, on a this live LP there are no overdubs, so I 
    can tell who is playing what most of the time). 
    
    As far as today, Barry has been recording some demos for a new album,
    and has Brad Delp singing with him! (For those who don't know it,
    Barry married Brad's sister, and they are all still friends). No
    word on a label deal yet, though.

    Peter Criss,
     He was in a band called balls of fire about a year or so ago.
    he left because he's a paranoid.He is afraid of the general public
    so now he is a shut in.He has just recently wrote a book about being
    in KISS but I don't know the name of it,it's supposed to be real
    in depth and eye opening.

    	Billy Squier's career took a nose-dive right after he

    he flitted around a bedroom that was all shiny satin or 
    something. At least that's what I remember of it. Anyway,
    the vid made him look like a raging fag, and his career 
    died. He blamed it all on the producer of the video, but the
    producer said that he just did what Billy wanted.

    I believe that Arthur Brown is -- are you ready for this -- a lawyer!!
    A friend of mine was telling me about this concert he went to in
    like '68/'69 where Arthur Brown parachuted onto the stage with his
    hair on fire...kinda like early stage theatrics ;^)
    
    Anyway, Arthur Brown was a lawyer back then too.  I think he had
    something to do with defending some local band back in the days
    of "The Boston Tea Party" (an old club in Beantown that featured
    many top acts including The Who).  As I recall, the local band that
    got busted was The J. Geils Blues Band.

    What ever became of Rogue Male???
    
    Any of you UK noters out there know?
    
    For you US noters in ignorance, Rogue Male had a `hit' a few years
    ago (summer of `85) with the song `All Over You'.  It was a great
    song (one of my favs) for those who remember it.

    For some reason or another I suddenly started thinking of a band
    that I haven't heard anything from in many years.  I'll bet many
    of you have never even heard of them.  Here goes!
    
    What ever happened to the Mahavishnue(sp) Orchestra featuring the
    guitar playing of John McClaughlin(sp)?  That's one band that I
    could take or leave but I always enjoyed watching John play.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Mahavishnu Orchestra broke up in the mid-70's, and most of the members
went on to other bands. John McLaughlin went on to a fairly successful
solo career. He put out a bunch of solo albums Among them is one with 
Carlos Santana called 'Love, Devotion, and Surrender'. He also did a 
couple acoustic albums with Al Dimeola and Paco DeLuca, which were
astonishing! I also saw this Trio live, and they were amazing! Talk 
about fast - Yngwie has nothing on these guys!

  Anyways, I believe it was about a year or so ago that McLaughlin formed
another version of Mahavishnu Orchestra, but it didn't have any of the
other original members. But they did play in the same vein of music.
John McLaughlin still tours once every year or two, usually playing 
Berklee PAC in Boston, or one of the jazz festivals in town.

Some of the members went on to solo careers, but right now I can't think of
who they were. I want to say Jay Ferguson, but I think he was in Spirit.
Maybe it was Andrew Gold (Lonely Boy)? Also, I think Mick Jones (guitarist
and producer extroidanaire) of Foriegner was in Spooky Tooth.

    RE:-124.5
    I hear that Blackfoot have just got a new record deal going and
    are going into the recording studio. I got told that the band are
    now called 'Rick Medlock and Blackfoot'.
    Anybody have any further details?
    
    RE:-124.8
    I don't know if the Raven you were asking about is the same one
    that I am thinking about as they were originally a UK band who went
    to the USA and got recognised there but I have a Raven album called
    'The Pack is Back' and I beleave they used horns in one song on
    that album. They released an album at the start of 88 called 'Life's
    a Bitch' which is of the speed metal form. It is nothing like 'The
    Pack is Back' but it is like there earlier material such as 'Wiped
    Out'.
    Hopes this helps!

    My favourite album from Raven is "All for one...One for all".
    Of what I know, Raven is a 3 men band with 2 brothers in it.
    I believe it's the drummer that sings and do most of the show coz it's
    a wild one (He always wears a football helmet ) ;-).
    
    I thought they were German ?

    re.58
    I bought an album a year or so ago just entitled rick medlocke,and
    it was pretty tame not like blackfoot at all,I hope this new band
    is not going to consist of the same musicians,they sounded like
    Journey with a different vocalist.Musicianship was very good but
    as I said before a bit too melodic.

     Raven is an english band thier lattest album was life's a bitch
      the album the pack is back was thier downfall because of it's
    comerciality the band is made up of two brothers and a drummer
    the drummer is the wildest man in rock if you like to see people
    beat themselves up go see Raven the drummer plays the drums with
    his head and the bassist is the singer.

    Also the lead singer (Mike ?) did at least one duet with someone

        Mike Reno did a duet with Ann Wilson, but I forgot what it
        was called.
    
        Loverboy's last album contained 'Notorious' (na-na-na-na-na-
        na-na-na-na-notorious).  Not bad, but not their best.
    
        I have "Lovin' Every Minute of It" on record ... the title
        song and 'Dangerous' and great songs.  The rest is just OK.
    
        My favorite from them is "The Kid Is Hot Tonight".

.....The Rockets?

Anybody remember these guys? They were a hard-rock band from the Mid-West
(I think), and they had a bunch of albums out. Their one minor hit was
a killer version of Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well".

If you never heard them, they sorta sounded like Detroit's answer to
Aerosmith, for lack of a better comaprison. 

Anybody know whatever happened to them, or any info about them?

Brian Robertson was for a while with Motorhead. He stayed for a LP called 
"Back at the funny farm" (or something like that). I always found this a very

    He did a project a while back, but I'm not sure if it was just a
    studio thing, or a band effort that fizzled out.  We'll probably
    hear from him again at least once more...stay tuned(?)
    
>       Pat Thrall

    He went solo for a while after Pat Tarvers.  He never decided wether
    to be a rock guitarist or a fusion guitarist.  He's now amoung all
    those fusion guitars who are really good but no one ever hears from
    them.

    Re .12, Molly Hatchet's latest album is "Lightning Strikes Twice"
    Not bad, first song's kinda strange though. "Take Miss Lucy Home",
    it's got a whole horn section on it which, IMO, makes it sound like
    something you'd hear at the country awards. Rest of the album's
    pretty good, they seem to have lost their raw sound that they had

      INFO:
    
      .34 & .35 : I saw a Guess Who show about two years ago and it was
    the original drummer and bass player with three "other" musicians.
    Really the Guess Who? Nah! I should've seen the Burton-Cummings
    band when it toured if I wanted to see the real Guess Who. They
    keyboard player was introduced as Terry Reid (sic?). 

      .57 : Coney Hatch, Oh yeah! I caught them live four or five years
    ago. They had three albums out. The last one was called "Friction".
    The standouts in Coney Hatch were Carl Dixon's voice and Steve
    Shelski's guitar playing. I'd heard the original drummer died and
    Carl Dixon's name appeared on one of Aldo Nova's albums. So they're
    still playing eh? GOOD.

Jimmy Page broke up the group, and went solo last year. He released the album
'Outrider' (with Jason Bonham on drums). I dunno what Paul Rogers is up to.

    I heard that Page broke up the Firm because of conflicting
    indivualties, between him and the other band members, in my
    opinion the Firm had the potentail to be an awsome band,
    i'm not saying i didn't like the Firm, i did like them, I just
    thought with the talent they had they could of done better,

"Don't Tell Me You Love Me" was Nightranger. "Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya" was 
New England.

New England put out three albums altogether (the second one was produced by 
Todd Rundgren). They never really made it after their initial big splash.
Their drummer (I forget his name offhand) is a well-known local producer.
I think another member (the keyboard player?) went off to join Guiffria or 
House of Lords or one of those bands.....

alan

    Maybe somebody in the phoenix area can answer this.  What ever happened
    to Surgical Steel???  Haven't heard anything since I left there
    and  was wondering if they ever toned down there egos.
    
    Bill K.

    .85-,89
    
    New England personnel:
    
    Hirsch Gardener was the drummer for New England (as noted) and
    is a local producer.  He produced metal band 8084's album and
    the drum sound is HUGE.  Personally, I'd be a little hesitant to
    make comments on the personality and ego of someone I'd never met.
    Or on a studio I'd never been to.
    
    John Fannon, guitar.  He sold an amp to a friend of mine several
    years ago.  He may not be in the area now.  He was trying to 
    establish himself as a songwriter who writes for established acts.
    At the time, he was very, very broke, and was letting his equipment
    go cheaply. 
    
    Jimmy Waldo and the last guy, whose name I can't think, are the bass
    and keys for Alcatrazz.  Yep, the Malmsteem-Vai-many others Alcatrazz
    of the West Coast.  Alan Starr, noted DEC musicologist and metal
    meister, you knew this, didn't you?  Both fellows were at the NAMM
    show last spring/summer.  They are quite busy with the band and
    studio work.
    
    Here's a fun fact:  As the story goes, the late Bill Aucoin (manager
    of Kiss and record company president) turned down the unsigned
    Van Halen, saying something along the lines of "I don't hear anything
    here, boys."  He remarked at some point, that he just signed New
    England and he was placing his bets on them.  This, in spite of the
    Gene Simmons-produced Van Halen demo.
    
    History has a way of making people look foolish sometimes....
    
    Brian

    
    New England's first album was excellent, I saw them in support for
    this album back in '79 (my first concert) opening for Kiss in
    Providence.  I believe the bass player went on to join Alcatraz
    for awhile, don't know what happened to the rest of them.
    
    Mr. Ed...

    Is New England's first album still in circulation?  It would be a shame

    re: the last few on New England
    
      I caught them in '79 at the Paradise club (Back Bay). "Don't ever
    wanna lose ya" was on heavy rotation on all Boston rock stations.
    They had just come off the outlaws tour and the Paradise show was
    their first BIG headline show. The place was jammed for two shows
    and they were being touted as Boston's next big band. I enjoyed
    their performance as well as their debut album.
      The two subsequent albums weren't up to snuff although "Walking
    Wild" had a few bright points. I managed to catch New England at
    the Savoy club in '81 in New York City. I was working there for
    DEC at the time. It was a light turnout but what crowd there was
    liked them. I was in Chicago two weeks later and went with friends
    to Chicagofest. It was a big week-long outdoor festival with blues,
    jazz,country,comedy,  two rock stages, and a big Main stage.
    Main stage had big acts like 38 Special and Crystal Gayle. The smaller
    rock stages had acts like Greg Khin. So who do I catch there? 
    New England! They went over pretty well. That was the last I heard
    of them playing live. Every now and them the radio stations dust
    off the one big single of theirs though.

    Anyone know what ever happenned to The Alarm??  Have they had any
    releases recently?
    
    Chris D. (on a friend's account)

    re.99
    100 replies!!!
    Yeah, the ALarm had a release last year, I think. They had a
    successful single or two from it.
    
    Can't remember anything else, though.
    
    /Motorbreath

The Alarm just released an album this past winter. I forget the name of it, 
but the single was called "Sold Me Down The River" which was a pretty 
good-sized hit, and the folow-up was "Working Man Blues", which also got a 
little airplay.

Its a very good album, probably the best one they've released to date.....

    If anyone can post the album name, I'd appreciate it.  A friend's
    daughter is "into" the Alarm and he wants to pick up an album for
    her birthday.

    This question is for the British noters.  Many years ago (about 20)
    there was a band that came over here from England called Family. 
    Anyone know what ever happened to them???
    
    Chris D.

    Sorry have to pass on that one Chris, but I do vaguely recall the name. 
    Don't think they could have made anything of themselves though!
    
    
    Ga-ZAZ

    
    That wasnt the band Price used to be in was it?  I forget the name of
    that band, but I thought it was The Family...  No, now that I look at
    it, it doesn't look right anymore....  It was The Fsomething :')
    

    I believe Rick Grech used to play in that band.  I also heard recently
    that he had died.  I have never listened to them before but a friend of
    mine said that the singer kind of reminds him of Geoff Tate.
    
    Byron
    

    Why did the singer remind you of Geoff Tate?  The singer reminded me of
    a very drunk or stoned Joe Cocker.  There was also a violinist in the 
    band.  They were supposed to have been big in London at the time but I 
    thought they s***ed.  They even did a violin solo!! (Picture me with 
    finger down my throat gagging).

    							GTI
    

    Almost.  He must have broke at least half-a-dozen mike stands and mikes
    the night I saw him/them.  He had a habit of keeping the mike on the
    stand, holding the mike in one hand, the stand in the other, over his
    head while doing a final scream, and when the last note hit, he threw
    them straight down onto the stage.  Pieces would go flying.  I kept
    thinking "Boy, the money I had to scrape up to by my mike and he goes
    thru 1/2 dozen a night!!"
    
    Chris D.

    He didn't remind me of Geoff Tate, I've never heard these guys. I said
    my friend thought he sounded like him.
    
    Byron

Yes, I remember them. Can't remember many details although I do remember the
singer was a Mr Chapman (I think it might be Rod Chapman, but I'm not certain).
They had three top twenty hit singles in the early seventies:

	Strange band (1970)
	In My Own Time (1971)
	Burlesque (1972)

At the time I really liked them, especially Chapman's voice (which my Dad 
described as a sounding like a strangled cat).

I think they broke up in '73 or '74. Chapman went on to form the 
"Chapman/Whitney Streetwalkers". That band sank without trace and I've
heard nothing of him since.

My this brings it all back. "Revising" for my O-levels while listening to
Family, Led Zep, Free, Jimi H. etc.

Keef.

    Family had 3 in the top twenty!!!  Wait a minute, is this April 1st??

      Really, that's pretty interesting. I hope this next album is better
    than the last.
    				The KER
    

    
    	I would guess Brad and Tom. They were the only originals on the
    last one.

I believe the new lineup will be similar to the touring band - Tom Scholtz,
Brad Delp singing, Greg Pihl on guitar (from Sammy Hagar), Jim Masdea on
drums (the original Boston drummer, on some of the 1st album), and the
bassist (I forget his name).

    Sure, I can do that.  I'm open minded enough about 'em, like I say I
    only say that one show.  Just because they sucked live doesn't mean I
    wouldn't like their studio material.  I mean they *were* a backup band
    and certainly suffered from bad PA work.

    Add Raven's version of "Hellraiser/Action" to that list. Now there's
    another "Whatever Happened To" band.

Hmmm,  according to my friend, Brian Connely (sp?) the singer with Sweet, 
originally left the band in the late 70s early 80s and the band later broke
up.

They reformed, together with Connely in 1987 I believe and are still together
in the complete original line-up.


I can't vouch for the accuracy of all this, but it is probably correct!

    I think that's right, at least the way I remember it. There was
    discussion of it last year in here.

    Video stats:
    
    UK = 625 lines per screen
    US = 525 lines per screen
    
    

    
    
    Oh Poop.  Well Gaz? next time you remember check the label for who
    makes the video..  maybe I can make a few calls...

    I think you're getting this Connolly confused with the Scottish comedian
    Billy Connolly? And as for Raven...the first album was a blinder but
    after that....

    I have a question maybe someone out there can answer. I didn't see a
    topic that this would fit so I'll enter it here.
    
    Back in the 70's there was a group that released an album entitled
    "Delaney, Bonnie & Friends". On this album Eric Clapton appeared also
    along with various other well known musicians at that time. My question
    is this. Is the Bonnie from this album Bonnie Raitt of todays fame?

    Bonnie is Bonnie Sheridan who plays Roseanne's co-worker on "Roseanne". 
    There is an article on her in this week's "People".
    
    Cheryl

    
     Thanks Cheryl, I was asked this a couple of days ago and I thought it
    could be possible that it was Bonnie Raitt, but wasn't sure.
                                                                    mike
    

As Cheryle mentioned, it is not the same Bonnie.

A little background (while I'm waiting for my program to compile and link 
here...):

Clapton was touring with Blind Faith in the late 60's. This was a "supergroup" 
which included Clapton and Steve Winwood. There was a LOT of hype around the
band, and their very first tour was an arena tour. Clapton became very 
disillusioned with the whole scene, and called it quits after the tour. 

The backup band on that tour was a husband and wife team called Bonnie and 
Delaney. Clapton, eschewing his superstar status, decided to join up as
their guitar player, and went out on the road with Bonnie and Delaney 
(resulting in a live album).

Clapton then went on to record his first solo album ("Let It Rain"), with
Delaney helping to produce it and be musical director. When Clapton formed
Derek And The Dominoes, he stole the rhythm section from Bonnie and Delaney 
as the nucleus for DATD.

I don't know what they are up to nowadays (I had no idea that Bonnie was
on a TV show now!).

    It was Bramlett, she took her second husband's name, Sheridan.  Anyway,
    she cleaned her self up, drug wise, remarried and got friendly with
    Roseanne Arnold.  Roseanne is a waitress on the show and Bonnie (she's
    Bonnie on the show too) works in the same restaurant.  She has the same
    face, but her body has changed a bit, a little heavier.  I'm sure you'd
    recognize her, though.
    
    A recent episode had David Crosby as her singer husband and she did a
    duet with him.

    Barney left and got married due to Betty's torrid lesbian affair with
    Wilma!

    You mean Barney didn't value Betty's difference? I bet he got fired
    from DEC for that.

    Does anyone rally care? 8)  Actually I think the Captian left Tenille
    joined up with Barry and there living happily over the ivories, Abba
    and Ambrosia joined together to spawn off little stomach-turning dweebs
    better known as Nelson (tee-hee that one was just for Friz) and Air
    Supply went and had surgery to lets say enhance themselves and are now
    going under the name Guns-n-Roses;) ;)

    I was flipping throught the channels the other day and Barry was
    "singing" for some Hispanic school fund at which George Bush was
    attending.  At the end the Bush's came up on stage and Goerge said some
    drivel and then Barbara said "I guess you're all Bushed out"...Good

    Whatever happened to The Macc Lads???

    They gave up because they're cr*p per chance ?

    
    I'm surprised nobody's set up a conference about them.

    There's a note dedicated to them in UK_Music. Note 1079.

    RATT???   Remember these guys?  I dug out some of 
    their older stuff the other day for a listen.  I
    began thinking to myself, these dudes were really
    happening back then.  Warren De Martini was a 
    major player back when the RATT thing was in shape.
    
    I remember them doing (or about to anyways) a show 
    at the Wallace Civic Center in support of their last
    effort quite some time ago.  However, the show and
    subsequent tour was cancelled due to lame ticket
    sales.
    
    Are these guys dead?  Does anyone out there think that
    the RATTlike sound is ever going to happen again?
    
    
    Lost in the 80's...

    Man, I loved Ratt. Me and a friend of mine, Scott Westgate used to jam
    almost the whole first two albums.
    
    I still like it too. DiMartini is a fantastic guitar player. Great
    progressions.

    
    Out of the Cellar was good stuff. They went downhill rapid style after
    that. Is Warren Di Martini not part of the newly revamped Whitesnake ?

    The Whitesnake/DiMartini thing would definitely
    be cool.  I loved this guy's playing, too bad
    he's been below the surface recently.
    
    I second "Out of the Cellar."  Killer.

    I'm sure he's in there along with Vandenberg,Sarzo,Carmassi and of
    course Coverdale. Sounds a good lineup to me.
    
    Del.

    I liked DiMartini's style, but his sound was major thin and they buried
    him with that bogus big canyon reverb that everyone used back then. 
    Decent songs, but I can't hardly stand to listen to stuff like that
    anymore.

    utter shite!Hated them from song 1 until the bitter end.
