Banter TRTT Part 13: 2021 Goodbye (To 2022)

[Loony Juice]

Only the 2nd best NWOBHM band behind Saxon.

The lyrics to Denim and Leather, by Saxon, was my teenage years in that one song.

I liked Iron Maiden far more

But liked for the use of NWOBHM

 

[edgie]

Def Leppard were a good NWOBHM band

They are a bit b4 my time...

That's racist man.

They told both sides of the story. Very balanced. In 1982 no less. Trail blazers.
I also like their commentary on female empowerment in songs like Prowler and 22 Acacia Avenue. Very progressive.

Always found it funny the story 'peddled' about the drummer losing his arm. Car accident I believe was the company line.

Infected abscesses from being a spoonbender/harry head (intravenous drug user/addict) can be very bad if left untreated. Just saying

You forgot about Charlotte the Harlot.

That was Jack Newton

The Def Leppard guy lost his an a car accident.

Hence the old dad joke:

How much force does it take to stop a propeller?

Half a newton....

 

[tribey]

That was Jack Newton

Learning of Ben Dixon becoming his son-in-law was a distinct “amend your bookmarks” moment

How the fukc do you walk into a plane propeller

 

[NoddyHolder]

How the fukc do you walk into a plane propeller

Get on the cans all day before trying to board one of those little planes with a propeller

It was night and a strong rain storm had swept across Sydney at the time. The cessna he was running to catch was parked in a dark corner of the airport at night so he didn't see the spinning propeller as he rushed through the rain to board it for the trip back to his Newcastle home.

He had been to watch the Sydney v Collingwood (iirc) game at the SCG. And also (iirc) alcohol was not deemed to be a factor in the incident.

His recovery from near death and his brave recovery and return to the golf circuit was inspirational.

See: The eight words that saved Jack Newton

Nah, it goes:

Motorhead, Venom, Angel Witch, Witchfinder General. Roughly in that order.

As for Maiden, Powerslave and Seventh Son are classics. Everything else is a bit meh.

Having worked on flight lines for years in my previous life the other factor is the strobe effect from navigation lights etc - with the right conditions the prop can look stationary.

Killers is a great album.

Motorhead not NWOBHM
I reckon Angel Witch had the best album of the actual era but couldn't go on with it. Diamondhead would have to be right up there in the best 2 or 3 as well

My memory was that it was 'alcohol was not deemed to be a factor' (wink wink)

I was very young though and could have been taken in by chinese whispers

Venom were more proto black metal and Motorhead were some sort of early metal/punk hybrid dealie. NWBOHOHM was all tight jeans and high screams and rippin solos and melodic guitars and shit

They are according to Wikipedia but I guess they came a bit earlier.

Tank - Filth Hounds of Hades I rate pretty highly too.

you're an angel witch, you're an angel witch
you're an angel witch, you're an angel witch
x10000

gotta love calling themselves angel witch, their album angel witch, their song angel witch, then saying angel witch 8000 times in the chorus

i reckon if you're not pissed, even in the dark a plane that's running you'd probably stay away from the spinny bits.

I think it was more of a movement than a particular sound. Witchfinder General was pretty much a Sabbath rip-off band with boobies on their album covers.

that's such a good gimmick it's still going 40 years later and basically invented an entire genre

Someone here needs to set up a band called Sack Hinkley.
