MURDERATOR
The dance video killed his career..thanks you genius music executives…lol…he made a live appearance on yo mtv dance show or whatever it was called around 88-89…he was all leathered up and brought the pain. Killed it.
That must of been a great show. Def Leppard had a much harder edge back then plus Steve C and an uninjured Rick A.Saw him in ‘83 with Def Leppard opening up
Def Leppard was about to explode at this point and clearly stole the show. They didn’t open up for very long after this showThat must of been a great show. Def Leppard had a much harder edge back then plus Steve C and an uninjured Rick A.
Ok I agree but everyone messes up. Let's forgive and think about the other tunes, lol.
It really was a golden era of music. Some of the best rock, new wave and metal we’ll ever get.What a great time period for this type of rock (roughly 79-83). It was when all these emerging artists like Squier, the Cars, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Donny Iris, and even Journey still had a gritty hard rock edge to their music that left the 70’s behind and embraced the more energetic, upbeat early 80’s vibe. Post ‘83 or so, all of them embraced the MTV sound, ditched the dirty guitars, heavily incorporated synths and went full on pop.
Huge blowout with my parents about this show in New Haven.. I was 13 and they thought I was too young to go. I was a HUGE fan of Leppard, and Billy rocked hard back then so I'd have been happy to catch that too.Saw him in ‘83 with Def Leppard opening up

Frank Levi did Squires amp work. Frank then worked on RATT's Marshall on tour the first few albums.
Frank also worked for SIR studio rentals in NY & LA and reworked those amps including but not limited the AFD amps.
I kid Squire about the "prancing" video [bad advice from a choreographer] Billys always been rightous with Marshall tone.
Always wanted one of his modsFrank is one of my faves, and his Marshall mods are beyond underrated.
I'm fortunate to have a #34 mod that Frank did on a JMP 2203 for me in 2014, and also found a JCM800 2203 with his MK-7 mod, and they both are some of the best sounding amps I've heard to this day.
Frank was also an incredibly nice human being, helped me out numerous times and is deeply missed.
One of the truly best.

Wasn't he an incredible person? Man, I can't even remember how many times I've opened up my Facebook and there was a completely random message from Frank, either giving me a weather report or telling me about amps or bands.We used to chat on FB. Great guy.
Hang onto those amps.
First time i hear "Lonely is the night" opening riff i knew that amp was different. But wouldn't find out til later.
