OMG, Dangerous Toys “Scared” is an EXCELLENT song! No joke, it is in my top 10 80’s era “hair band” songs…Loved that you brought them up!!!
🙂
Wrecked Neck, how about Witchfinder General?
LOL Rattle,
Eddie used to get pranked on his old Q show doing the Underground Classic segment, by some guy that would always guess Witchfinder General, and then the one time he did do Witchfinder General, the guy never called-LOL!!
Love Witchfinder General! They’ve got that doom sound, like Sabbath.
And the band took the name from the title of an old British horror movie…. WitchfinderGeneral is perfect for Wrecked Neck’s Halloween themed music playlists.
Was Angel Witch mentioned? I am sure it was, by Rattle.
Hi Dana, yep, I mentioned Angel Witch. One of my fave NWOBHM bands.
Joan Jett- I love rock and roll… Those were the days!
Hi Dana
No worries about the late response. Having heard it again, I’ll also throw in ‘Steeler’ from British Steel as a riff-point-of-reference for this one; notably that classic’s outro riff.
All I hear is Rush-LOL.
The first 40 seconds of the song and from the 2:58-3:16 mark both have very very similar notes to Tom Sawyer by Rush. Although it’s not an exact copy it is close enough that if Geddy and Alex wanted to push the issue, they could certainly bring it before a judge for plagiarism. However they don’t strike me as being asshats like that. If they’ve listened to it I’m sure they love it. So not an exact plagiarist copy but it is enough to raise an eyebrow. Regardless bands influence each other daily and often incorporate stuff from previous releases into their own works in a unique and non/copying way. Poison’s Nothing But A Good Time is without a doubt built from the Kiss song Deuce. That riff is a classic (Kiss’ Deuce). A good ear can pick that up right away.
