A Recked DVD Review: Motorhead Stagefright

The Stage Fright dvd  is a 2005 live gig  hosted by our favourite loudest band on the planet, Motörhead. It was filmed in Düsseldorf, Germany during the band's 30th anniversary year.

Now, its fairly well known that I a MotorheadBanger, I just dig the whole legendary swagger that Lem seems to have in (ace of ) spades...Sure, the great man hasnt been very well of late, but this dvd is the band at the height of their powers.

Lem straps on his signature Rickenbacker bass, strolls up to the famous 45% angled mic and  kickstart's the show by saying "We are Motorhead and we play Rock and Roll." 
This double DVD has the full 90 minute concert from a show to an decidely sold-out house  at the Philipshalle in Dusseldorf Germany, along with a second DVD loaded with a shitload of extra features. 

The is loaded with a huge of barnstorming classic Motorhead tunes and several rarities like "I Got Mine" (off "Another Perfect Day" album) or the in your face "Just 'Cos You Got The Power". Of course, the set wouldn't be complete without the definitive monster hits from the band such as the gritty "Ace Of Spades" and my all-time favorite "Iron Fist."

The crowd (and us viewers) are knocked back in our seat with the vastly talented Phil Campbell on guitar and Mikkey Dee on drums. Phil and Mikkey  are clearly having more fun than anyone in the arena here and are certainly no slouches at their jobs. I must admit that the band does sound more "musical" at this point too, without seeming to lose the Motorhead edge they have become so well known for over the years. 

Despite the fact that the album for this tour was released on Sanctuary Records, it's the top notch SPV Records who are involved with this DVD and this company is easily the leader by far at putting out perfectly shot concert products and simply delivering more value for your money than any other name on the market.

 

 On DVD 2 are a series of documentaries on the band, highlighted by informative backstage interviews and the such, including a portion entitled "We Are The Road Crew," which is particularly fun to watch because it provides a unique insight into how the people behind Motorhead's epic stage performance keep them firing on all cylinders from one show to the next. This second disc is 120 minutes in length 
Oh yeah and the dvd also has a 16 page color booklet filled to chockers with cool photos.

Any fan of Motorhead should not hesitate to add this gem to their collection.

Anvil - Canadian Metal Gods...EH!

Now before I started this blogaroo, I checked my folder with all my old handwritten notes of the record/cassette collection, and to my amazement , I had a cassingle (remember them) of Metal on Metal by Anvil, and here all this time I thought the doco about them was my first introduction to them, makes me wonder why I didnt have any of their albums at the time, maybe even Utopia records ( my purveyor of all things metal) didnt even get them imported, but thats a guess.

I'm in full agreement with Lars and Slash when they say, "What the f**k happened to Anvil, they were cool" ...after watching the doco, I think it comes down to crap managers and real bad fkn timing, I think this led to their plummeting into the abyss of non famousosity(?).....BUT...their  super fan Sasha fixed their famousosity for 'em with the movie and Lips family and Chris Tsangarides sorted the album "This is Thirteen"...oh and Lips and Rob for writing the damn thing

O.K time to drop an Anvil tale or two on you....
Toronto, Canada's Anvil were one of the first North American bands to push the sound and style of  NWOBHM one step further. Clearly they were listening to the likes of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and many others from across the Atlantic, Anvil  played louder, faster, and heavier than their heroes, some say, laying the groundwork for the thrash movement that took over heavy metal's underground in the '80s. 

Yet unlike many of the furious West Coast thrashers that immediately followed them, Anvil were mostly out for a good time: their albums often featured mildly  pornographic sex songs, and frontman Steve "Lips" Kudlow frequently took to the stage in a bondage harness and played guitar solos with a vibrator.

Dildos aside, Anvil's musical contributions were very real; their fastest songs were some of the earliest speed metal recorded, while jazz-trained drummer Robb Reiner set new technical standards for the genre, including pioneering the double bass drum technique that's become a staple of many drummers  since. Anvil's second and third albums, Metal on Metal and Forged in Fire, made significant waves in the metal community over 1982-1983, but despite the respect of musicians and metalheads alike, stardom was not to be theirs. Geographic isolation, label and management difficulties, and shifting musical trends all conspired against them, leaving them largely the province of cultists and collectors just a few short years later. Undaunted, Anvil soldiered on, continuing to record and tour whenever possible, and in 2009, a documentary film by the band's former teenage roadie threatened to break them to the wider audience they never found in their prime.

Anvil were formed in Toronto in 1978 by childhood friends Steve "Lips" Kudlow (vocals/guitar) and Robb Reiner (drums). Both came from Jewish families, and had been playing music together since their teens. Initially known as Lips, the band added bassist Ian Dickson and rhythm guitarist Dave Allison, and in 1980 recorded an independent album titled Hard 'n' Heavy, which introduced their penchant for sexual explicitness. Upon signing to the Canadian independent label Attic Records, the band changed its name to Anvil, and reissued Hard 'n' Heavy with an updated cover in 1981. 

Their groundbreaking second album, Metal on Metal, adopted a much faster, heavier style, and took the metal underground by storm. Anvil snagged opening slots on tours with the likes of Iron Maiden and Motörhead, among others, and played significant festival dates in Japan and England. The 1983 follow-up Forged in Fire refined Anvil's signature sound while adding more musical variety, and furthered their growing following.

BUT, Anvil's success stopped right there. Seeking a better stateside deal, the band's manager got them released from Attic, but a new contract never materialized. While the band hung in limbo, metal exploded -- a wave of hook-heavy pop-metal bands conquered the mainstream, while avowed Anvil fans like Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax (the latter of which started out playing Anvil covers) catapulted the genre into new realms of heaviness, far beyond anything Anvil had ever recorded. 

Attic issued a collection of hits and outtakes called Backwaxed in 1985, but the official follow-up to Forged in Fire, Strength of Steel, wasn't released until four years later in 1987, when the band licensed it to Metal Blade. Creatively disappointing, Strength of Steel effectively killed what little momentum Anvil had remaining. They recovered somewhat on 1988's heavier Pound for Pound, which featured trademark sex songs like "Safe Sex" and "Toe Jam," as well as the hockey anthem "Blood on the Ice," but it was too late. Dave Allison left the band in 1989, and was replaced by Sebastian Marino, but not before the release of that year's Past & Present: Live in Concert.

Marino's only album with Anvil was 1991's Worth the Weight, a darker, thrashier outing than anything they'd previously done. It too failed to catch on, and was followed by a lengthy recording drought. Ian Dickson called it quits in 1993, being replaced by Mike Duncan; Marino left to join Overkill in 1995 and was replaced by Ivan Hurd, while Duncan departed a year later in favor of new bassist Glenn Five (b. Glenn Gyorffy). Thus rebuilt Anvil signed with Canadian indie Hypnotic Records and issued the comeback album Plugged in Permanent in 1996, which continued the heavy, serious direction of its predecessor. 

Released in 1997, Absolutely No Alternative returned to the band's tradition of sex songs with offerings like "Show Me Your Tits" and "Hair Pie." Speed of Sound appeared in 1999 and found Reiner experimenting with the blastbeat technique for which he'd helped lay the groundwork. However, the band went with a somewhat lighter, more classic metal style for its next several albums, 2001's Plenty of Power (that featured a tribute to "Pro Wrestling", so I was happy), 2002's Still Going Strong, and 2004's Back to Basics.

In 2005, Anvil were contacted by a former roadie, Sacha Gervasi, whom they'd met as a teenager while touring England. Gervasi had grown up to become a screenwriter, most notably penning the Steven Spielberg-directed The Terminal, and wanted to film a documentary about his old friends. The result, Anvil! The Story of Anvil, chronicled Anvil's efforts to tour Europe and to record their 13th album, aptly titled This Is Thirteen, which reunited them with their early-'80s producer Chris Tsangarides. 

Without a label, Anvil opted to maximize profits by selling the album through their own website. Following Hurd's exit from the band, the film became a hit on the festival circuit in 2008, and was released in the U.K. in February 2009. Within two months, it became the highest-grossing rock documentary in U.K. history, and was quickly snapped up by VH1 for American distribution. 

Anvil! The Story of Anvil was released in the U.S. to glowing reviews in April 2009, and the band supported it with live gigs at a series of screenings around the country and a collection of brand-new songs called This Is Thirteen. In 2010 a remastered re-release of 1989's Past & Present arrived on Roadrunner, followed in 2011 by Juggernaut of Justice. After nearly 35 years of rockin', the band's fiftheenth album, Hope in Hell, arrived in 2013.

I KNOW THAT VOICE !

YES, I know i've done full blown blogaroos about the following fellas..BUT...me and the missus were comparing favourite singers on X factor last night  and it got me thinking about my ABSOLUTE favourite singers....so, in no particular order, allow to present some wonderful warblers...who, if not by name you know by sound.

Quite possibly the single most recognisable voice in rock..well, UK rock anyway, saw him first in 74 in Sydney and have since got as much Slade stuff as I can get my digits on...Nod had that sustained roar that definately got your attention...seems to me the Black country supplied a few of rocks finest.
Favourite songs: Ruby Red, rock n roll preacher, we'll bring the house down, Universe, give us a goal, 
Favourite albums: Till deaf us do part,  Alive, The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome, We'll Bring the house Down

Francis Rossi or Frame if you like, once again totally recognisable once he starts warbling as is his guitar work..strangely enough saw Frame and the lads the same day I saw Nod and the boys in Sydney.
Some people say he only knows 3 chords, so I'll say what he says ..had some success have you?, sold millions of records worldwide ?...change it !..BOLLOCKS
Favourite songs Matchstick men, down down, ice in the sun, 4500 hundred times, paper plane, mystery song
Favourite Albums: Live (the glasgow one) Piledriver, Hello, Blue for you, 1982, Heavy traffic, Quid Pro Quo

A true Australian original, Bon was in various band before AKKA D, the valentines, Mount Lofty Rangers, stuff like that, but when he hooked up with the brothers Young, he became a legend..sadly, he got taken too early, BUT he wont ever be forgotten..rest assured
Favourite Songs: Big Balls, Let there be rock, Jailbreak, If you want blood, Its a long way to the top,.
Favourite Albums: TNT, Dirty Deeds, Powerage, Let there be rock, If you want blood

The first time I saw Baz, it was the Youth gone Wild video, didnt know his name, then found out he was named after a classical master...he is indeed a master, a master of modern rock, got a hell of a range that very few can match...got to see him with Skid Row and was suitably impressed with his hint of get f**kedness...then i went to see him as a solo act in Sydney and he pulled the pin and went home early...BUT...this aint about me being annoyed this is about Baz...still cant figure out why he left the Skids, more than likely musical differences...anyway, blokes got a hell of a set of pipes that you would recognise anywhere
Favourite Songs: American Metalhead, 18 and life, I remember you, As long as I got music, Monkey Business
Favourite Albums: Skid Row, Bring em bach alive, Kickin and screamin, Slave to the Grind, Bach to Basics

The man, the myth, the living legend, 51% muthaf**ka 49% son of a bitch..Yep, its time to pay homage at the shrine of Kilminster, Strangely enough thew first Motorhead song I heard was off an album that by all accounts Lem cant stand, the song was Iron Fist and its still on the list of faves....I always thought that Lem was gonna be here  long after cockroaches, but by all accounts his had a rough cople of months. so my tip is to get as much in as you can while you can...before Bon Scott needs a bass player
Fave songs: Iron fist, Killers, cradle to the grave, 1916, teach you how to sing the blues, rock n roll music
Fave Albums: 1916, Orgasmatron, The world is yours, Ace of spades, No sleep at all, Motorizer

John Michael Osbourne or as his known to all the ticket buyers at Ozzfest..OZZY, OZZY, OZZY...I been  a fan of Oz since the Sabbath days, and when he got sacked, I thought thats that then, but, the mad bugger bounced back , inhaled the earth and rocked on. 
Must say I havent enjoyed every single track his done, but thats normal I suppose...All I know is what i do like is absolutely awesome and has lived on the mp3 gizmo for a bloody age
Fave Songs: Mr Crowley, Bark at the moon, Crazy train, I dont want to change the world, Zombire stomp, 
Fave Albums:Bark at the Moon, Blizzard of Oz, Diary of a madman, The Ultimate sin, Under Cover, No More tears, No rest for the wicked, Paranoid, Mama Im coming home, Never say die, Planet Caravan

The LOUDEST Aussie in the history of history...good gosh, I do like Thorpey, its all his fault that i'm a fan of volume and thunderous riffs, I had the pleasure of seeing him at full roar three times and those shows are permannently burned into my memories...there was nothing like Thorpey before and there has been nothing the same since.

Fave Albums: Live at Sunbury, More Arse than class, Lock up your Mothers, Steaming at the Opera house

After Thorpey  and Bon the next BIG voice in Aussie rock has to belong to yet another pommy (well, scots) immigrant dont it..yep, BARNESY..I'm a big fan of James Buchanan Barnes, both in his Chisel days and his solo run...saw Chisel quite a bit when they were hot, and similar with Barnesy, seen him blow a few p.a's up too...dunnom how his still kicking after all that vodka BUT he is and thats all that matters

The metal God himself...what a set of pipes, if you claim to dig metal and you dont have a Priest album of any description, then, your a bit of a fibber methinks....the llst of Preist tunes I like is voluminous in its construct, so I will keep it short..NAH...cant say i'm a huge fan of his solo stuff, but it has its moments...will he go down in history as the greatest metal singer ever?...will he what Fave Songs: Diamoinds and rust, heading out on the highway, metal gods, the ripper, you dont have to be old to be wise, you got another thing coming, Rock forever, living after midnight, United, Parental guidance, heavy metal, painkiller, Prophecy
Fave Albums: Sad Wings ofd Destiny, British Steel, Scremaing for Vengeance, Turbo, Ram it Down, Demolition, Angel of retribution, Preist..LIVE, 

I think its fair to say that Queen has a spot in a good percentage of the world populations heart, I mean to say, if freddie and the boys dont put a smile on your face, theres something wrong with you....similar to Judas priest, the list of Queen songs I like is a bit bonkers and not a dodgy tumne among 'em...and Freddie had a set of pipes that would shatter perspex and that can only be a good thing.
Fave Songs: Seven seas of rhye, Bohemian Rhapsody, tie your mother down, Liar, Dont stop me now, Love of my life, Radio gaga, Its a hard life, hammer to fall, Princes of the Universe, I want it all, Show must go on, I,m going slightly mad, Too much love will kill you

Nothing like horror movies mixed up with some Salvador Dali and snakes, mix em all up and you got Alice Cooper, the originator of the grand show experience...seen him once on the Poison tour but am the proud owner of a few live dvds (and albums) of the bloke....Alice can paint a picture with his lyrics, and thats a good thing, his not beyond a comedic leaning either...top stuff indeed.

The lead singer of probably the single most deserving band of world wide mega success. that didnt get it...Danny Bowes is the voice of Thunder AND what a voice...been a big fan for an age, even got to see them once or twice, but I had to be in Blighty to do it...I highly recommend you go looking for some thunder stuff...well....go on
Fave Songs: On the radio, River of Pain, Amys on the run, Englishman on holidays, A better man, Loser, I love you more than rock n roll, the devil made me do it
Fave Albums:  Backstreet Symphony, Laughing on Judgement day, The magnificent seventh, Robert Johnsons Tombstone, They thinks its all over now, Live at Donington

The lead singer of, probably, my favourite band of the NWOBHM era, probably, either way Saxon is at the top of my listening list and dont look like moving anytime soon....got  a few dvds of the boys in action, I highly recommend their Wacken gigs for viewing, Biff has that massive heavy metal crowd in the palm of his hand from the first kick of the drum right through to the end...a sign of true talent, if you ask me AND he can sing as well....brilliant

The mouth that roars, Jonno is just brilliant, thats not to say that when he started with AkkaDakka that he was at the top of my list, to be honest I wanted Alan Fryer from Heaven to get the gig, BUT, then I heard Back in Black and that was me won over and I been a Jonno fan since....Oh and he was in a little band called Geordie that wasnt too foul either.

So there I was at Bexley North Hotel, and this bloke with short hair, dressed like a butler babbled a stream of neo germanic utterance and then proceeded to blow the top of my head off with some outstanding tunes, my first viewing of Doc Neeson was a complete success, and I was hooked, saw him get knocked rotten with a champagne bottle on a new years eve gig and climb a lighting rig on the Central Coast ...he ( and the Angels) b=never held back live and its fair to say that we will miss the great man
Fave Songs:  Comin down, Take a long line, Shadow boxer, Out of the blue, Marseilles, Stand Up, Eat City, We gotta get out of this place

the first time I saw Bruce was in Sydney on the Number Of The Beast Tour, sure I had the albums with DiAnno on them...BUT...Number blew my mind, and then I heard Bruce's pipes rattle in public  and my ears closely followed.  I was a bit gutted when the band and Bruce parted ways, but with the mega tours they were doing, I think I would of got sick of each other too...I picked up his solo records and they too are quite the bonz little recording . I was stoked when Bruce (and Adrian) re-joined and have dug pretty much eveerythig nthey have done since... Viva Bruce Dickinson

The Mighty Hetfield, the voice of Metallica, sure I should be pissed at him, he talked all those drooling nitwits to bash anyone that wasnt "Metal Dude" and sadly that meant I got headbutted because I had a Dr Feelgood patch on my jacket next to my tallika patch, I'd like to talk to him about that one day...BUT ANYWAY.....I always gad some Metallica hanging around in one form or another, and for the most part enjoyed most everything they have done, Of course I've worn out a copy or two of the Black album, who hasnt?, mind you, Het won me over when I heard Seek & Destroy for the first time and too this day is my favourite metallica tune...and I'm very happy Hefield made it to the Hall of Fame, but more importantly, sorted himself out along the way...Since he gave up his whatevers, his voice is stronger, and mightier than ever

Fave Songs: Seek & Destroy, Invisible kid, Fade to black, One, Fuel, Sandman, For whom the bell tolls, Hero of the day, Mama said, Some kind of monster, broken, beat & scarred, Hit the lights, Nothing else matters, The struggle within, Wherever I may roam, Sad but true, 

Fave Albums: Metallica, Kill em all, Ride the lightning, St Anger, Load, Death magnetic

And then there was Dave Mustaine, quite possibly the angriest and luckiest ginger walking the surface of the planet, how he still has a pulse astounds me, his drug and drink levels were Ozzy or Lemmy like in their consumption, BUT, somehow along the way, he banged out a few brilliant songs / albums......to be fair, if he hadnt of got the flick from Metallica, both bands might of been done and dusted a long time ago,. but the anger he formed after getting sacked eventually propelled him to be highly claimed as one of the creators of Thrash and he holds a proud position in THE BIG 4, onya Mustaine.
Fave Songs: peace Sells, In my darkest hour, No More Mr nice guy, Hangar 18, Sweating bullets, A tout le monde, 99 ways to die, Head crusher, Public enemy No1.
Fave Albums: Killing is my Business, Peace sells, So far so good so what, Youthanasia, The World needs a Hero, The System has failed
