325.0. "V2" by SUBURB::DALLISON (Welcome to the Jungle) Thu Nov 10 1988 12:12

    
    Has anybody heard of this band ??
    
    They are a five peace German metal band, who supported <Helloween
    on some of their UK tour dates.  I met the band and and a friend
    of mine interviewed the vocalist (whilst I chatted to the guitarist)
    and they are real nice guyz.
    
    One of the guitarist's was in a band called called S.A.D.O., and
    had some pretty good stuff out.                                
                                                                   
    The sound is a sort of combination between of Iron Maiden, Scorpions
    and Dokken, and believe me - they kick ass.                    
                                                                   
    As far as I know they've only got one album out, but from the way
    these guyz play live, you can bet you'll see/hear more of them.

	It looks to me to be a money making scheem that will nail parents who are Christmas shopping and don't know the difference between a "V" and a "U" Steve O (Who has never heard of V2)

	TONY- I saw V2 on europes MTV Metal Hammer last night and was amazed. The Video played was Rock The City. All I can say is that they are definately Kick a$$ rock 'n' roll. From a first listen, I would say that if all their songs are as good as Rock The City, then when they Break in the US and Britain, they are going to be bigger than Helloween, who they are supporting on the up and coming UK tour. The name V2 has nothing to do with U2 or the Rockets that Germany were dropping on London during the 2nd World War. They got their name from a bike shop near their rehearsal hall. They saw a badge with the Harley V2 block on it and took the name from there. BONZO.
