New Wave Of British Heavy Metal
...it's shit, and I love it. Angelwitch! Jaguar! Sweet Savage! Diamond Head! and more - all playing at the Dog & Spanner in Kettering, this Tuesday night! Only £2 in! May as well be....

I once did a six CD compilation of NWOBHM, and did copies for some mates (and indeed Ashley at Earache Records). It went down splendidly, apparently it was on the Earache stereo for ages. Even today, at the tender age of 38, there are few things that make me happier after another morale-sapping day at work than to drive home with the stereo up loud playing some crudely recorded thirty years ago type NWOBHM racket.

I've never worn a Saxon t-shirt though.

In reply....
Saxon were ACE, make no mistake. The Eagle Has Landed is still a favourite album, esp for the awesome version of 20,000Ft.

Quartz? Gimme a few days.

NWOBHM
Ahhh...takes me back....the very bestest ever tyoe of music ever.
Often listen to reissued cd's of Diamond Head . White Spirit Raven and the like.
Super stuff.

Saxon rock.
So do Tygers of Pan Tang, Demon and Praying Mantis.
Got some more obscure stuff too: Expozer, Chaser, Slender thread...
Alright, so it's clunky but it's better than that shouty-bloke shit they've got these days.

Deep Machine/Tokyo Blade
Deep Machine was my Dad's band... all of them pretty much went on to play for Tokyo Blade... when my Dad left as lead guitarist, Kevin hayborn from Angelwitch took his place.
