436.0. "Kings of the Sun" by HITMAN::KGALLANT (Pray for us on the Wild Side...) Sun May 06 1990 17:03

    
    
    	I'm listening to a new Australian called "Kings of the Sun."
    	The song is called 'Drop the Gun'.
    
    	According to master metalmind (cough cough) Riki Rachtman,
    	the guys will like this band because they're great.  The
    	girls will like them because the lead singer is cute.
    	(sheeeesh)
    
    	The band itself doesn't sound all too bad, I guess. But
    	they lack originality.  Nothing new or innovative, just
    	"better drop the gun, boy, or they'll shoot ya dead."
    	la la la.  (8

    	Was this on Saturday's HBB?
    
    	If so, I'll probably see it tonight ... I haven't finished
    	watching the tape yet.
    
    	And, by golly, if Rikki says it's great then thats good en-
    	ough for me!!

436.3CHEFS::DALLISONGet yer hands off me, suckerMon May 07 1990 15:048
                                   
    I saw Kings of the Sun a year ago, supporting Kiss at Wembley 
    Arena. They weren't bad live, but I thought the guitar play looked
    exactly like Jimmy Page in his younger years (sounds nuthin' like him 
    though).
    
    The albums not bad either - I keep finding myself singing 'Black
    Leather' coz its really catchy!

    	They should've named themselves "AC/DC II - The Sequel".
    
    	The song's OK though.

    	Whoever said they were AC/DC - The Sequel weren't kidding.
    	I listened to them again this past weekend and they do
    	sound an awful lot like the guys from AC/DC.

436.7MILKWY::SLABOUNTYIf I only had a brain.Wed Jun 13 1990 19:4812
    
    	I got the CD in the mail Monday night, and I gave it one
    	listen so far.  It sounds good.
    
    	Most of the album sounds different from the "AC/DC-ish"
    	sound of "Drop the Gun", in case you're thinking of not
    	buying it for that reason.
    
    	And the drummer stands out more than anyone.

436.8BUSY::LABOUNTY_FISSexual favors done dirt cheap.Mon Apr 01 1991 14:3916
    
    	One thing I love about listening to compilation tapes of
    	my favorite CD's is that they remind me that I haven't
    	listened to a song/album in awhile.  "Drop the Gun" is
    	on one of my "Greatest Hits" tapes, so I took this album
    	out and listend to some of it.
    
    	The drummer kicks some serious [b]ass on this album ...
    	favorite songs are "Crazy", "Lock Me Up", and "Drop the
    	Gun" [of course].  The vocalist doesn't sound like Bon
    	Scott through most of the album, so it's not a blatant
    	AC/DC rip-off album.  The guitarist is pretty good, but
    	not great.
