Ah, maybe a PT-tribute band will start up, once they hit it big.  :)

Yeah, that's a good point, actually, that I hadn't even considered.
I think about Motorhead as being Lemmy + whoever, such that Lemmy could
decide to play whatever he wanted to, and the rest just have to put up
with it.  But Phil's been there for nearly 20 years now...hard not to
accept his opinion if/when he would say, 'Nah, that's just not my style.'
Still, they should try it, just for my sake.  :)

Nope, I've 'remembered' since (by seeing their CD in the stacks the
other day, when picking up that Monster Magnet), that the band was
called Skew Siskin.  I thought originally that that must have been
*her* (stage) name, but nope, it's something else entirely.  *That*
I've forgotten for good (though I'm sure if I really wanted to know,
I could look it up online in 10 seconds).

Doro (Pesch?) is still around these parts...I'm sure I've seen her
name listed on concert schedules...I think she opened for Saxon even.

>Why didn't we get a review of On Trial, then, eh? :-)

Sorry, here it is...didn't post it to boc-l directly this time.
