80s Metal

[Steve Swann]

For those of you who never got to see late period Brain Surgeons with Ross on guitar, well...  I hate to rub in, but those were MONSTER rock & roll shows.  Al finally had a guitar player for the Surgeons who was a match for his songwriting powers*.  Holy mother of god, that was some of the most kick ass live rock and roll I've ever heard.

* don't get me wrong, Pete and Billy were great, and Deb .  But Ross had the colossal riffing powers necessary to really carry the Surgeons' sound

They actually played in my town a while back and I refused to go
because of that..."

I'd probably still go see them again. A couple of months ago they played an outdoor BBQ festival (I know, insert a snide comment here) and I was tempted to pay even a small entry fee to hear them. 
I really wish I'd checked the Brain Surgeons when they came through. Kicking myself over that one. I'm not missing Peter Hammill though (now it's really off-topic).
