       Bassist Ian Hill is the only original member of the heavy metal institution Judas Priest remaining from the band's 1970 formation. Longtime lead singer Rob Halford joined up in 1973, supplanting founding vocalist Al Atkins. Guitarist Glenn Tipton joined in 1974, and drummer Scott Travis joined in 1989. Since Tipton sparsely tours these days for health reasons, guitarists Richie Faulkner and Andy Sneap currently fill the gap.

          Wayne Fontana was born Glynn Ellis in Manchester, England, on 28 October 1945. He started his musical career at school with a skiffle group called The Velfins and later formed a Rock & Roll outfit called The Jets, with whom he worked the pubs and clubs of Greater Manchester.       In 1963 the group was spotted playing in Manchester’s Oasis Club and asked to undertake an audition for Philips/Fontana Records at the same venue on the following evening in front of a live audience.       Their debut Fontana single – released a few months later – was a cover version of Bo Diddley ‘s Roadrunner , which enjoyed moderate success.       A year and two more singles later, though, they finally hit the chart jackpot with a cover of Major Lance’s American hit Um Um Um Um Um Um which reached #2 in Britain, and in 1965 their single Game Of Love topped the British and American charts.       During the sa...

       O n the one hand, it's noble of Scott Gorham to rename his Lynott-less version of Thin Lizzy for the purposes of a recording career. On the other, given that the music they make would fit snugly on to a late-70s Lizzy album – right down to singer Ricky Warwick's inflections and asides – it seems a little self-defeating. The stand-out is the most Lizzyesque song, Bound for Glory , with one of those twin lead guitar lines kicking into a riff filled with empty space: it's like 1976 all over again. Conversely, the worst song is where they take things too far and step outside Lizzydom: Kingdom of the Los t revs up the Celtic folk influence nicely, then charges into a boozealong chorus more suited to one of those aggressively Irish punk bands from the US. Between those two poles falls plenty of enjoyable melodic hard rock, never poor, though not always scaling the heights. But then Thin Lizzy were never the most consistent of studio bands, so maybe that's fitting. ...

  THUNDERSTICK  Feel Like Rock'n'Roll?  (Thunderbolt,1983) - NWOBHM       Thunderstick himself gained popularity and success as the eccentric, flamboyant drummer of Samson. Dressing up in gimp gear, leather, and performing in cages, with the popular act must have been an enjoyable experience for him, as it is rumored he turned down an offer to play in Iron Maiden to replace the often underrated Clive Burr, as he was enjoying his persona, and moderate success in the bands. I’m not sure if this rumor is true, or if it is, if he is kicking himself for not taking the opportunity to play with what became arguably the most successful British metal band to grow out the London scene. Either way, playing in Samson itself wasn’t enough, and he opted to form this act, fronted by female vocalist Jodee Valentine. Thunderstick here has a melodic, poppy, yet energetic sound. Interestingly, they do have the upbeat, party kinda vibe that Girlschool and Runestaff had, while ...
