Definitely shocking news. They say there were no drugs found on site, so might just be a freak accident. 

No illicit drugs were found, but plenty of prescription medication apparently. 

Yeah, I saw this. Very sad.

Its various recordings that they made from 1985 through to 1988 (3 from 86 , 4 from '87 , 1 from 85 & 3 from '88) all studio tracks apart from the last track called "No Rest For The Wicked" which is a demo from 1988 , so a compilation of their recorded output , Benjamin LaBarge (Bennie and the Jets) was vocalist and formed them , according to the liner Atlantic & Capitol records held an interest in signing them but Gene Simmons "Simmons Records" wanted to sign them so they entered the studio for the last time fell out in there and broke up/went on hiatus ,during this time Babylon A.D approched Danny to replace John Matthews , Danny told Bennie about the approach but wanted to stay with Johnny but Bennie gave him no good reason to so he went...that was that.

Very good album btw 

Thanks mate.

One I've never heard of until today.

A band featuring Danny De La Rosa on guitar, before he joined Babylon A.D..

I'm not sure if it's a re-release or some "lost recordings"?

It's pre Babylon A.D., so it's from before 1989, but I can't find much about it.

I noticed in my forum search that "lettard" picked the album up in late August of this year. Any info in the liner notes mate?

Killer album with Killer guitar work.

Here's five tracks.

Danger Danger

Are they still considered active?

I'd be happy with "The Defiants" actually. 

That would be cool.

Andy Taylor & Robert Plant - Stairway to Heaven (2023).

Although not a band as such, this wouldn't be a bad duo to have perform.

It helps to give context, because it looks like it could have been filmed in someone's backyard. 

Robert struggles slightly, but it's still Epic.

Sadly, that may be the case. 

There are a few OG's that have passed away that we know of and I'm sure there's a few that we don't know of.

Nitrous Roxx - Take Your Place.

A recently posted killer track from the demo released late 80's / early 90's.

This one's a monster.

Cheers Del.

Every now and then I revisit that Hear N' Aid clip.

It makes me happy.

Yeah, Angelina.

You've got some "ten" and "Gary Hughes" tracks listed, but not these ones.

For your consideration. 

Interesting question. 

I might have to go with KISS.

Wow....just discovered this thread.   This is my Youtube channel and I currently have over 2100 videos posted of obscure bands and demos.   I first started posting about 7 years ago and the channel was private for a number of years and earlier this year, I decided to make it a public channel to share samples of some great bands that might have fell through the cracks or passed over the radar.   As many of you who know me are aware, I'm an old geezer (79) and have been collecting since I was 11 years old.   I sold tons of killer stuff (CDs and cassettes) on E Bay for quite a few years and now I'm just taking things a day at a time and enjoying listening to the great music in my collection.   To all who have been checking out the bands, thank you!   I hope what I post gives you a idea of the sound of many of these obscure bands.   I'll continue putting more up, I don't see an end any time soon...LOL!!

OK Delbert, you're definitely the go to man for rare and obscure stuff.

The early 90's three track demo by "Zen Boy" is my Holy Grail.

I've added a link to a thread I created and there's some great info about it.

Of the three tracks, I've only found one on YouTube, the great "Nothin' From the Mojo", but fuck me!, going through your channel I found "What If I Told"!

I still haven't heard the third track "Gun" yet.

Any chance of posting it?

You are the man!!!

Looking for info on "Zen Boy" https://heavyharmonies.ipbhost.com/topic/34715-looking-for-info-on-zen-boy/

Sorry for your loss mate.

Hmmm?

This one just popped up in my YouTube recommendations as a YouTube short.

Not what I would expect from YouTube.

Mate, she could've had multiple ticks burrow their way into her forehead and I wouldn't have noticed or cared.

You've done a great job with the channel mate.

Who'd have thought that it was created by a member that I'm familiar with on the forum.

You've amassed quite a collection. 

Keep 'em comin'.

All good points, but I think at the end of the day, I'd rather live in a world with Frontiers than without it.

I just said I did that.

I think Doggy meant that he will get on the case.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to post.

Never heard of this. Thanks for the heads up. 

I've only just discovered it myself. 

Nothing mentioned here.

My initial reaction was to blame Stefan.

After having time to calm down and think about it... I still blame Stefan.

A Killer album released a couple of weeks ago featuring "Rob Rock" on Lead Vocals.

Here's 5 tracks, the first one I've posted is the only track not sung by Rob, but by "Jorn Lande" and it's a ripper. 

The other 4 aren't too shabby either. 

Of course, with Rob Rock involved there are Christian overtones, but it's still killer stuff despite that.  

Bonfire - Bang Down The Door.

Killer track from a Killer album with a Killer Vocalist.

This one popped up in my rotation today and it occurred to me that unfortunately it's a little bit "rapey".

Bruce Springsteen - Outlaw Pete.

A track from Springsteen's 2009 album "Working on a Dream".

It's a cool track, but there's something very familiar about it, something "Dynastic" shall we say.

There's hints of it early on, but you can really hear it around the 3:20 mark.
