731.0. "Sword" by RAVEN1::BUTKUS (Now that I've called you all here.) Thu Nov 02 1989 06:46

    
    
    	I would like to know more about a band called SWORD if
    	 anyone other than Scary and I have heard them. How many
    	albums, you know the whole bit.
    
    	I would give the names of the band members but Scary has my 
    	 tapes ( hint,hint ) .
    
    	They are a k*ckass band kinda reminds me of Priest and a 
    	 little bit of Metallica.
    
    	I have two of there albums "Metalized" and "Sweet Dreams",I
    	 know they have a vid on MTV called "Trouble is" that kicks 
    	*ss.
    
    	The best songs from both the abums are " Trouble is", "Sweet
    	 Dreams","Stuck in Rock" and "Stoned Again", then again the
    	albums are great and highly recomended for your listening 
    	 pleasure.

731.3Where are they now?SSMPRD::SREGANAre there any monsters under my bed tonight?Tue Nov 23 1993 07:1216
    Does anyone know if Sword are still around? Last I heard Mike Plant had
    left and they were on the hunt for a new guitarist, but that was over a
    year ago.
    
    I saw them in Edinburgh when they supported Motorhead on the
    Rock'n'Roll tour and they were generating a fair bit of interest until
    the singer made the BIG mistake of saying:
    
    "Hello England!"
    
    Not the best thing to say to a Scottish crowd!
    
    This was met with the obligatory growls and the knot of people at the
    front dispersing rapidly. Pity, cos they were a good band.
