410.0. "Leatherwolf" by 26959::ROTHBERG (Hey! Pass me a yodel.) Mon Jan 02 1989 11:08

                Well, had  to  add a note about another band that
                I've been into, but just started listening to all
                the time;  Leatherwolf.    Anybody else listen to
                this band?  It's like  crossing  TNT  with  White
                Lion  and  throwing  in  Yngwie  on  the  guitar.
                Incredible band.
                
                - Rob who's waiting to get his  car back with the
                stereo put in by someone else . . .

410.1insert cool title hereCAINE::MINARDIChromatic DeathMon Jan 02 1989 12:5710
    
    	I've heard a couple Leatherwolf tunes on the metal show on WBCN.
    
    They were great, and I've been close to buying a Leatherwolf album
    many times, but they're never high enough on the album priority
    list since I haven't heard enough of them yet.
    
    What I heard impressed me though.

    I've got the (self titled) album.  Its okay, but nothing to write
    home about - all blonde locks and leather.
    
    Do they really need three guitarists though ?? It ain't that hard
    to play !!

    Leatherwolf are supporting Vow Wow tomorrow night so I can probably
    get a brief run down on their live set for you by WED. (If the brain
    still functions)

As promised here is a brief note about Leatherwolf/Vow Wow livw.

The mix was very good, the only problem being the Vocals were just a bit 
too boomy. I know this Venue (Ritzy's Night Club) very well and felt that
the staging was set up too close to the centre of the club, therefor the
P.A. was sort of killing it'self (if you know what I mean).

Leatherwolf: The drummer was phenomanal (sp?). From the start I could see
he was using a single "Kick" drum, but it sounded too much like he was 
using "double" pedals. *WRONG*. It was all done one footed. 8-)

The Second # in the set was "BAD MOON RISING", the best cover of this song
I have ever heard. (Better than the original!)

There was comments somewhere about why the band used "3" guitars. Live they
only use three guitars when the 2 leads are harmonising/riff swapping. The
Bass guitarist was boring to look at but he sounded good. The vocalist was
"OK but nothin special".

Due to the limited space available at this venue, I don't think that 
Leatherwolf got across their Stage Show. Watch out for these guyz, and try
to catch them as a headline act.

Vow Wow: What can I say except ..... Brilliant.

As a combination Leatherwolf/Vow Wow rivalled the Bonefire/Judas Priest
gig earlier this year. It was close to being the best gig I have caught
in the Aberdeen Area. Not quite as good as Whitesnake on the "Slide It In"
tour, but so very close......

Bonzo. (if there are any mistakes int the typeing. I don't care. There
is a worrying bit too this. The hangover ain't started yet......)

    I aquired a copy of the new Leatherwolf "Street Ready" lp and let 
    me tell you, it is f!@�$%^ amazing.  Its blows away many of the 
    other pussy bands about.  I can't sing its praises enough.  
    
    Exellent.            
                         
    BUY IT !!
410.9I'm gonna have to get a new /perNEEPS::IRVINEBOB IRVINE @EDATue Apr 18 1989 11:518
    Why is .8 set hidden ?
    
    I got a loan of the second (I think. the cover shows the bands
    shaddows) album. I have only listned to side 1 and that was at
    respectable volume. I'll listen to the whole thing to night and
    put something in here tomorrow.

410.10Street ReadyNEEPS::IRVINEHere I sit Broken Hearted...Wed Apr 19 1989 08:5514
    As promised here is my honest opinion of the Street Ready album.
    
    There was only one track that stood out as far as I am concerned
    and that was called "Hideaway". Like Bon Jovi with ballz, or, Yngwie
    without the boring sweeps.
    
    Overall the album was O.K. but nothin compared to the live performance
    with Vow Wow, that I saw last month.
    
    Anyone know why note #.8 has been set hidden..... I know that TTT
    wrote the reply but why was it set hidden.... rude?....crude?...
    or simply a mistake?

                I think  he used a "naughty-bit".  Not as good as
                the first album,  huh?    I thought the first was
                the yones!  The second even come close?

410.12Sounds like an interesting reply!NEEPS::IRVINEHere I sit Broken Hearted...Wed Apr 19 1989 11:368
    To be honest Rob ,,, I haven't heard the first album...
    
    I recorded Street Ready last night and listened to it this morning
    on the way to a customer site.... (it did put me in the mood to
    go to the pub), I think I may have made a mess of the recording.
    See my new entry into DYJFIW for the details.

    vocals punching hard.

410.15BTOVT::BAGDY_MI have TONE in mind !Fri Mar 01 1991 07:3511
        On Rob's  recommendation,  I  purchased  `Street  Ready' last
        weekend, and although  I  haven't  given it ALOT of play, I'm
        impressed,  although  they  don't    exactly   remind  me  of
        Queensr�che (maybe a little more TNTish, but not exactly like
        them either).
        
        I'll post a better review after  I  play  this  tape a little
        more, but from what I've heard so far, it's good !
