The brief two years I worked at the club, I remember there were only one or two bands that we ever asked not to come back after the first night ... It's been so long ago.

These guys were great fun! The drummer we called "animal" ... he was hysterical! Lead singer David, skinny guy in the middle, had a Steven Tyler air about him - lol I remember they had to use anglo names to get booked in clubs outside of the ElPaso. Sad. But such was the business back in the day. Good band ... funny guys

I'm pretty sure the singer went on to front Racer X

This is Forces! The guy on the far right (Joe) was a shuttler I worked with at Hertz ... a long time ago. Think he was also the guy I called to deliver the car to the terminal when 'Priest arrived that time.

so, where on the same page, good. i would of liked to see the black and blue tour. I didn't have the wheels or the funds at that time. you know boc and sabbath. they trashed the place, last concert held at some speedway, in up-state ny. near mass. border. I would honestly say the priest concert i went to was one of the best. balcony seats at the palace ,in albany. a friend of mine had tickets to see led zepplin in buffalo ny. before the death of john . he had the tickets in his hand when he showed me, the other tragic story was the plane crash of skynard. i was reading about it in the high school libary . all just memories now................

| this is my first created topic, even though i've been a member for years.........since i've been to the "point of entry tour" with maiden warming them up "killers tour" i can safely say i'm old school. while in germany with the us army , i've been to monsters of rock 84, accept "metal heart tour" even ac/dc "fly on the wall" not bragging by no means. just stating i've been around. seen priest at saratoga ny "ram it down" they blew the warm up band out of the water. the glam band ciderella ok, enough said, lets talk about rock, we may not always agree, but that's life. so let's start the topic flash |
