It's good to have heard of them. I just wish I'd never heard of anything by them. They could live in the same box as all the other doubtless-cruddy metal bands I've never listened to, like Manowar and Stryper and Tygers of Pan Tang.
My world would be greatly improved. Although I do want a Stryper album (To Hell With the Devil) so I can have the sleeve on my wall. I particularly like the way :
1. The members of the band are portrayed as angels casting Lucifer out of heaven.
2. Their modesty is preserved by strategically placed wisps of cloud.
And most of all
3. His defeat is symbolised by the visible fact that they have broken his guitar.

I used to play pool every Friday with a coupla friends at the Hyde Park Hotel in Perth in 1989 and 1990. I remember "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Orange Crush" and "Janie's Got A Gun" as excellent songs to play eight-ball to while drinking horrible Perth beer. Really, it was one of those moments life doesn't get better than. I'm still annoyed I didn't get down said pub by daytime when I swung through Perth earlier this year.
You've gotta be kidding. Sweet Child of Mine is one of my biggest nightmares from the late 80s. There was only one vaguely (and I do mean vaguely) freak-friendly bar in the town where I went to university, and the DJs took a liking to this song. So much so, that they used to play it twice in a row. Which the local rednecks thought was like, really cool.
