OFF: Other bands

[Cpt Blue Skin]

During that "glorius" era - I too was into the metal - more so for the music
than the lifestyle.
Iron Maiden - Scorpions - Black Sabbath etc etc (some I refuse to admit to
as well hahaha)
**I can just see Alisa shaking her head - as she reads this :))  **
But fortunatly I had the Doors and Hendrix and a fondness for some blues
bands - oh the list is too long to mention.... and praise Hawkwind - the
band I discovered in 88 or 89.

Yea, and they feasted merrily on the fruits and the fruitbats and smoked the
herbs for it was good.
