That Don't Make Me a...
hmm...first proper gig woulda been either Led Zep or Slade at Randwick racecourse in the Sydney suburbs in '74...although I did go to Sunbury that year as well as seeing Hush and TMG at Sydney Town Hall...but i think the Slade gig was first
I saw Slade at Randwick racecourse in the suburbs of Sydney around about 74...I saw them again just after the amazing kamikaze syndrome was released in england when i was travelling around...and thoroughly enjoyed both gigs...but really, I wouldnt go see any version of Slade that didnt have Nod...
Speaking of Aussie Glam ...here is Newcastle NSW rocking contribution to the scene RABBIT and yes that is dave Evans the original lead singer of ACDC on vocals...he joined rabbit after Bon got his AKKADAKKA job...( i cant figure out the video imbedding)

I went for the song that is still on my mp3 gadget to this very day and always on kiss comps for the car....WAR MACHINE...first time I heard the song was that video of Kiss in Brazil...took hold of me then and hasnt let go.....one of my all time top KISS songs
I went for Motley...they were there at the beginning, they went through various visual incarnations,...AND...they are still going hard today....close second was Ratt

I saw Lemmy and the boys a couple of years ago in Holland, while visiting rellies...took my ears a week to get over it, Hammerfall were pretty loud, even AC/DC and Iron Maiden at Acer Arena in the Sydney suburbs were fairly up there in noise levels....BUT...back in the day, in pubs around...
here's one I sent my ex...fkn annoyed her...MOMENT OF TRUTH by THUNDER
I spent a long time thinking 'bout what you meant to me
And I've decided I was wrong
I fooled myself, thinking it was how it's supposed to be
I should've known it all along
Now I don't want to fight about it no more
It was...
yeh, got to agree with that statement Powerage, a good example, for me, is SLADE, they sounded awesome on their SLADE ALIVE album, and it is still THE live album I recommend to anybody ( other than Purple in Japan that is..;))
