348.0. "Riot" by MILKWY::SLABOUNTY (I want my Heavy_Metal.) Mon Jan 08 1990 16:58

    
    	I heard "Thundersteel" a couple nights ago (and now that I
    	think about it, I think I have a couple of their songs on
    	a "K-Tel" tape).
    
    	Pretty good stuff ... I'll have to dig out that tape too.

    Riot's out of New York/New Jersey.
    I used to date a girl who's cousin was in the band.
    
    I don't think they're together anymore, this was like 5 years ago.

    Is this the same Riot who had the hit _Swords & Tequila_ in the summer 
    of 1981?

        Riot ? I'm not sure that they played Rock City, 
        Narita(instrumental),...or someting. I don't remeber well.
        I'll check it when I go home tonight ;-).

348.5Oh what memoriesWLDWST::GKEFALINOSSSSTue Jan 09 1990 05:4713
    
    If anyone can locate Fire Down under or Narita on  CD I would pay
    Top $$$ for them.
    
    I remember when Guy Speranza was in the band singing and Swords
    And Tequila is a mean Tune! Not to mention Altar of the King.
    That whole album rocks! Narita, is a cool one too they do a cool
    version of Raod Racin' and another one of that album that is good
    is White Hot and the one that I like the most is Kick Down the Wall.
    
    Good Stuff.

        Geez, why I've forgotten about such a cool band. I checked 
        thier albums last nite and also checked it at HM disc shop
        (It takes 40 sec to walk to there :-). G-man !!! I could 
        find their Narita on CD ! Yeah, Narita, Raod Racin' and Rock
        City is awesome one.
        
        Cheers,

    I bought their last album called The Privilage of Power last week end.
    I was really surprised that they were completly changed their style 
    into real Heavy Metal. I thought my speakers would be broke by its 
    power 8-)

348.8It rocksCASEE::LALLIDidier - BCE Valbonne - DTN 828.5423Wed Mar 21 1990 07:274
I've heard a track of their new LP, and it rocks. It's supposed to talk about
TV power over people.

    I agree. I`ve got Narita and Fire Down Under albums.
    
    Both briliant,and ahead of their times. Can`t understand why they
    never made it big.
    
    (The Riot now isn`t as good,but worth checking out).

    I have the complete Riot collection and have only been able to find
    
    Fire Down Under and Narita on CD. Those two are by fare the best.
    
    Altar of the Kings still gives me goosebumps.

348.16The privilege of powerKETJE::VLASIUMon Aug 26 1991 07:489
    I got "The privilege of power" and I like it. It has something very
    specific in the fact that I hear for the first time a mix of speed
    metal and .. trumpets. 2 or 3 songs contain this and it works ok. Fine
    vocals and instrumentals. 2 fine power ballads also and a cover
    (instrumental) of Al Dimeola's "Racing with the devil ..".
    A good album. It reminds me also Toxik's "Think this" (even the
    sleeve), Toxik's album remaining the best however in my opinion.
