Awesome , I've got a few bootlegs from the 1980 British Steel tour and they are killer , classic Priest

Saw the tour here at the Cow Palace . I liked it a lot but preferred the SFV tour in ‘82

Andy Fraser was in Free not Bad Co. but he was indeed a badass

Mojotone oversized 1x12 with a Greenback would be my choice . The mini was a cool little amp and ripping loud if needed . I might get one again sometime https://reverb.com/item/59957945-mojotone-oversized-canyon-guitar-amplifier-1x12-speaker-extension-cabinet

Gotcha , I thought that they couldn’t use the Sabbath name because when RJD came back for the third time Sharon and Ozzy were now owners of the Sabbath name. I read about it all in Mick Walls book which is a good read, but I might have my timeframe screwed up.

I saw them in 1982 when they were still able to use the Black Sabbath name and I thought RJD kicked ass on the Ozzy tunes . That show was off the hook . I think if they could’ve still legally used the Black Sabbath name in the mid 2000s they would’ve

I thought they were great all the times I’ve seen them from ‘85 thru ‘96 but FWIW I wasn’t analyzing their technical abilities

LOL but you’re right . That was normal rockstar attire back then

Yep that’s the guitar and it might’ve inspired this song or at least parts of it . Jimi’s Purple Haze might’ve also been an inspiration for it

Here it is before he put the tape all over it and I believe he put a different bridge pick up in it

That is a sweet set up. Would love to get one of those EVH cabs one day. I’ve been running my SLO 30 through the standard greenbacks and they work really good

Tube rolling has been going on for years :giggle:

Probably my favorite song on the album

I run the gain fairly low on the overdrive channel . Started off at 2 now I’m up to 3. I really dig the tone it gets

Dig it ! I put a Tung Sol in V1 in my SLO 30 a while back and prefer it over the JJ in the same spot . Gives it a little bit more of a clear open tone. I’m gonna eventually try Tung Sol in V2 also.

The 1984 BATM tour in Tokyo with no keyboards . Don had an unfortunate death in the family and had to fly home

Notice I said hard rock and not metal lol . MOP , Peace Sells and Reign In Blood are classics. VH gave us 5150 , Judas Priest gave us Turbo, both those albums to me were a big letdown. Thinking about it now there was some good stuff in 1986 but it just seemed like a confusing time for some...

Bark , mainly because of the era it reminds me of and I think for the most part the songs are great . Sin is a great listen but it reminds of 1986 which I thought was a bad year for hard rock

Those pics were published about 3 yrs ago in Neil Zlozower’s book

He`s tearing it up throughout this one
