626.0. "Wolfsbane" by CHEFS::DALLISON (Opps !! ...tilt !) Mon Aug 07 1989 12:14

    
    Anybody heard of the above ?
    
    Been around for quite a long time I believe, picked up their latest 
    album over the weekend and it kicks !! To be honest I can't remember
    the albums title but whats in a name anyway 8^) ??
                                       
    I love the guitar playing on the album - its a cross between the 
    fretboard dynamics of Eddie Van Halen and the raw rock and roll 
    sound of Slash, the combination works real well.    
                                       
    Check 'em out.

    Sorry Mate, I heard the album a coupla weeks back and didn't really
    like it - although I agree that the guitar sound is good.

626.2NEEPS::IRVINEThe Thing That Should Not BeTue Aug 08 1989 04:538
    I seen this lot in concert about 2 years ago.  The one thing that
    sticks in my mind is the vocalist asking the crowd if they thought
    that he was a "F****** A$$hole".  The Crowd said "YEAH, now F***
    Off".
    
    I left at that point, but was told that they didn't get any better.

    I bought the album the other day, and I reckon it's pretty good.
    The singer sounds a bit like a weak Dave Lee Roth, music's in the
    same vein as well, but it's still worth a listen - could be because
    Rick Rubin manages to make almost any band sound good! *

    I saw them on the power hour and enjoyed their songs,especially
    MANHUNT,but I LIKE IT HOT was nearly as good.The lead singer Blaze
    Bayley is a total spaz.....

    same price,also managed to get the black crowes JEALOUS AGAIN.....

626.10BHUNA::IGOLDIESoar AlbaWed Oct 23 1991 17:2016
    well on monday I bought the new album called "down fall the good
    guys".Its definately an musical/lyric/production improvement on their
    debut Live fast/die fast(which I  thought would be hard to do)and shows
    the band as maturing(?).This band has been compared to old VH,so 
    wether that is a plus or a minus is purely personal thing but for
    me,its a mega plus!Two songs spring to mind after 1 listen,"Cathode ray
    clinic" about how crap tv is.In this one the lead singer does an 
    excellant impersonation of a Nothern Englandn quiz show host.And the
    2nd is the last song on side two.Its like country/metal,the guitarist
    plays like a country player while the rest of the band pummel out a
    brilliant backbeat.If Zakk WIlde is going to start a country rock band
    it may be a good idea for him to call these guys!
       All in all a damn fine album and wroth checking out!

    there I was sitting in a favourite pub of mine in Glasgow and reading
    the gig guide and what do I see,none other than my most favourite band
    to come out of Tamworth playing in Glasgow when I'm away on holiday!
    What a bunch of cheeky wee monkies!Looks like I'll need to wait 'til
    next time they tour to catch them!Bugger!!!

626.13KURMA::IGOLDIEMoney talks,it says goodbye!Fri Apr 29 1994 05:2712
    I bought Wolfbanes last cd before Blaze buggered off and joined Iron
    Maiden and I'm a little disappointed,its just not up to their standard
    of the "down fall the good guys" era.There are some good songs on there
    but there are a few fillers too.The good thing about the cd is there is
    a free cd with extra tracks on it,including a utterly crap version of
    "Born to run" but there is a brilliant cover of an old Anti Nowhere
    League song(that I cant remember just now).Either way its kinda sad to
    see them drop their standards for the last album.
