Friday, December 17: UFO, “Hot N’ Ready”
R.I.P. Pete Way (1950-2020), Paul Raymond (1945-2019)
For a few golden years, UFO opened their concerts with the rowdy charge of “Hot N’ Ready”, and it was such an awesome kickoff that the band stuck with it for a little while after Michael Schenker left. The track captured UFO’s sozzled alchemy in full, with Schenker’s elegant lead giving way to a barroom stomper of a riff, while Phil Mogg goaded and swaggered with a grit and confidence that almost convinced everyone he was a bigger star than he actually was. Pete Way’s insistent bass thump grounded the proceedings, leaving Andy Parker to swing with greater flexibility and finesse than he was usually given credit for (including by this listener). “Hot N’ Ready” was the sort of no-frills fun hard rocker that made the late ‘70s a reference point to so many future megastars, embodying the guts of that era and holding up far better than anyone might’ve expected.
Today is the 35th year anniversary of the release of VINNIE VINCENT Invasion's debut self-titled album. What do you think of it? Overhyped? Disappointing? A great album?

Monday, September 13: Armored Saint, “Raising Fear”
R.I.P. David Prichard (1963-1990)
Raising Fear’s title track epitomized the paradox that was Armored Saint in the late ‘80s: it was faster, heavier, more intense and more sharply written than most of the band’s previous material, but there also a strange sense of panic and hysteria matched with a bizarre high-strung self-consciousness. To be sure, their label had more or less given up on them by 1987, and their inability to gain traction had to have wore them down. But while “Raising Fear” was a fun headbanger with a shoutalong chorus and coda, and John Bush’s roar was never less than compelling, the band as a whole didn’t sound confident that all of this would actually amount to anything, and that feeling came through on the finished product. Armored Saint was always a bit too uptight for their own good, and that definitely contributed to their lack of commercial success, though in their better moments they were able to cut through that, and while “Raising Fear” didn’t fully break out of their self-imposed constraints, it came pretty close.
