Who: Poison When: Sydney 3 April 1989 By 1989 I’d like to think I could distinguish decent rock from wimp rock. Why on earth I attended the 1989 Poison show in Sydney is totally beyond me. Boredom ? Maybe. Curious ? Probably. They were, after all, one of the first of the Sunset Strip bands to [...]

Who: Warrant – Part Two When: Sydney 27 April 1992 Growing up a heavy metal obsessed teen in the mid 80′s meant that in my opinion, all metal bands were great, and metal was a salvation from the drudgery of school that spoke to my brother and me. We knew something that our peers didn’t. [...]

Who: Yngwie Malmsteen When: Sydney 9 July 1990 This guy is a self-proclaimed musical genius. Warning bells anyone ? Being a genius does not necessarily mean you are an interesting live act. I was not entirely ignorant to Malmsteen before attending this show, having owned the Alcatrazz and self-title LP. I should confess that I’ve [...]

Who: VainWhen: San Francisco November 1993 That date is a guess – I know it was late 1993. Growing up into HM and loud rock, I really quite liked the debut album from Vain. I would have trouble listening to it nowadays, however back in 1989 – their self-titled debut was brimming with loud guitars, [...]

Who: Warrant – Part One When :Sydney 27 April 1992 Here’s another total waste of an evening. What was I thinking ? I’m pretty sure I didn’t get free tickets, which would’ve made the pain of sitting through this shit more bearable. From memory I was at a loose end and thought ‘this’d be good [...]

Who: David Lee Roth When :Sydney Oct 1988 There are quite a few – and I am not going to single out the worst – as many are just as bad as the others. Apologies if this post offends some die-hard Van Halen nuts….but it’s something I have to share. Lee Roth may’ve been great [...]
