How do the various members of Terrorvision spend their time these days?

He also went to Mali with Damon Albarn for that album. Delakota did one single on London Records after that first (Polydor) album and that was that, I think.

Too bad nobody knows what all of these Evening Session people are up to. I would love to know about the office, shopkeeping or civil service jobs.

Don't you remember him discussing this way back on the old nme chat? (does that still exist?)

I remember all of these bands, and even did onstage monitor mixing for leatherface at a couple london gigs, so I might have been at gigs some of you were at, way back in 199x. Redd Kross I still like loads, or at least "Phaseshifter" by Redd Kross I still like loads. A happy-hardrock classic! in places it sounds kinda rundgren-ish.

This is the thread where we reminisce over not particularly good Evening Session bands from the late 90s

x-post. I have 2 Compulsion albums. I played them not that long ago and they seemed to hold up quite well.
I'd be happy to YSI them if needed.

Am I right in thinking that the lead guy in Headswim had the fantastic name Clovis Dilweed?

Infernal Love: bad album, but didn't David Holmes do some production on it (between track static and that kind of thing)?

Oh, and I saw (the awful) Apes, Pigs & Spacement supporting the Wildhearts on what was supposed to be their farewell show- wasn't the lead singer of A,P&S responsible for Candyflip, and their baggy version of "Strawberry Fields"?

I spent *far* too long reading Kerrang! as a teenager!

RAW Magazine was great. It covered loads of indie/alternative bands that Kerrang hadn't started covering yet(preferring the likes of Skin or more trad rock/metal bands at the time- how things change!) and it was my gateway to discovering Sebadoh, when Bubble & Scrape got a 5/5 review. Same with Sugar. Which actually was no3 in the albums of the year poll that year . (its a shame rocklist.net have removed the RAW lists) but get your nostalgia fix from Kerrang instead

Scroll all the way down to 2005 and relive it all!

Would the 60ft Dolls fit here? Probably more NME than Raw, but some snotty punk goodness. Their Happy Shopper single is one I still hum to myself occasionally.

Saw Warrior Soul with Metallica in '89-ish. They were rubbish I thought.

He was a bit of a cock. His long history of being laughed at started with a somewhat immature 'gay' skit on the first Meatmen single in 1980

I must have hours of videotape of this stuff. I need to dig it all out.

Sadly there will be lots of crap Thunder/Bon Jovi/Little Angels as the woman presenter loved that shite.

Didn't do much for me, I have to say.

esp No's 2,11,15

The divide between the 80s and the 90s couldn't be more stark, could it? Although it would appear that for the guys at Kerrang! the 90s actually started in 1991!

Yeah, David Lee Roth better than Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood on the '86 albums list! And who the hell were/ are the Vinnie Vincent Invasion? And was that really the 9th best album of 1986? Interesting to note that Purple Rain did extremely well in '84, as well.

7. Robin George - Heartline?

I like the way this thread has morphed from dubious rock bands of the 90s to- erm- dubious rock bands of the 80s!

x-post: Gawd, Charlotte Church is looking well rough there.

Robin George was pushed by Kerrang as a rising superstar around 1985, until they realised that no-one liked him. Sounded like Magnum I think.

I remember Kerrang giving Robin George the big push back in the '80's. My memory says aor/pomp-rock w/technoflashy lead guitar playing, but I'm not entirely sure. I do remember this promo photo, where he's standing on a hilltop, bare chested, sucking his cheekbones in, and holding a bc rich guitar. IIRC he wasn't a shredder, '90's style.

I checked his website, and he's evidently still making music, so good for him, I really fucking admire ppl who keep on plugging, even if I'm not into what they're doing. I was going to check his music out on his site, but it crashed not only firefox, but my entire PC! while I was (briefly) staring at the screen, I noticed that they'd misspelled "discography" as "discocraphy" haha.

He was certainly very handsome, probably the equivalent of lisa dominique for Kerrang's (many) female readerz.

Actually my main memory of Kerrang in the '80's was this constant migraineish background drone of grim adolescent mastubatory sexism. If you were into metal & prog rock, it was pretty much the only game in town - especially after someone at "sounds" went batshit insane and handed the editor's chair to g4rry bush3ll - and if you wanted to read abt new metal releases, tour d8s etc, you were stuck w/"kerrang". But, it wasn't much fun. How I wish we'd had "terrorizer" back then.

My ex band played at this big club last year, and in a cupboard in the dressing room, they had a big pile of old "kerrang" issues, starting at something like issue #3. Cover starts liek Asia, or Fish from Marillion, with his sub jaz-coleman facepaint! I decided to rip 'em off next time we played there, but when we did, they were all gone.

We may as well do this now
