Wow I thought the original four were filler free and they all still get many plays from me.
Patchy was the wrong word. They were actually really consistent. It's hard to say... they were just generally consistent at a slightly lesser level than some of my favourite bands. A lot of good solid songs, only a few exceptional ones... imo.
Don't get me wrong. They're one of the bands like Motley Crue, Ratt, Dokken, Keel etc. that epitomize awesome early 80's metal to me. I do enjoy them a lot... just not a top 10 fave or anything like that.
Good thing you said those words. Otherwise I was going to get on a plane and head to Aussie land and set you straight Great band. And Jamie is super cool
