     wretched heavy metal exess. I'm trying to get a copy of

    I've only heard about a band named "Gods" who existed before 1970 and
    included future ('70) rock stars like the following:
    
    	Greg Lake (later in King Crimson and ELP)
    	Ken Hensley (later in Uriah Heep)
    	Mick Taylor (later in Rolling Stones)
    	Lee Kerslake (later in Uriah Heep)
    	and one more (I forgot the name) which later was in Gethro Tull.
    
    I've read some critics about their album which contained already some
    signs of heavy metal tendencies (but I haven't heard it). Gods had
    limited success but the band members succeeded very well after it.
    I also remember of seeing the band name GODZ but I don't know details.

    Presumably you`re talking about the GODZ who released the album
    "Too Wild To Tame". Great vocals. Sounds like he swallows glass then
    pukes up when he sings.
    
    Joe Strummer.

    I WAS JUST GOING THROUGH THE DIR AND CAME ACROSS THIS NOTE...
    IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT I HAVE A COPY OF THEIR ONE ALBUM, CAN'T 
    REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE ALBUM BUT THE ULTIMATE SONG ON IT IS
    "GOTTA KEEP A ROLLING"!  SO IF ANY ONE WANTS A COPY LET KNOW.
    THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE UNDERGROUND BANDS THAT I THOUGHT ONLY MY
    FRIENDS AND I HAD HEARD ABOUT...COOL. YES THIS DOES GO BACK TO MY
    HIGH SCHOOL DAYS. I WOULD CONSIDER THEM ONE OF THE EARLIEST H.M (AS
    WE NOW KMOW IT TO BE) BANDS. I THINK ALOT OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T HEARD 
    THEM WOULD REALLY GET INTO THEM.
                   JUST CALL ME RAT
780.5CAVLRY::BUCKi mite b blonde but i'm not stupidTue Sep 29 1992 14:223

    ABSOLUTLEY I RECOMMEND IT! THEY REALLY DON'T SOUND LIKE ANYONE I
    CAN THINK OF OFF HAND. ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE LISTENED TO THEM
    BUT AT LEAST A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR I GET IN THE MOOD, BUT THEN AGAIN 
    THATS PROBABLY FOR NOSTALGIC REASONS TOO.  THE SONG I HAD MENTION
    EARLIER "GOTTA KEEP A ROLLIN'" STARTS OFF LIKE THIS
    EVERYONE IS SOME KIND OF JUNKIE
    THERES BOOZE JUNKIES
    DRUG JUNKIES
    SEX JUNKIES
    MONEY JUNKIES
    ....
    ....
    BUT THE GODZ ARE ROCK AND ROLL JUNKIES!!!!!!
    
    JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THEY'RE LIKE. LIKE I SAID THOUGH ITS
    BEEN AWHILE SO I CAN'T REMEBER ALL THE WORDS AND SUCH.
