"Soft White Underbelly" is the name they use when trying out new material in small venues.
Been a fan since the early 80's and saw them open for Black Sabbath in Detroit, again in the 80's. (Heaven and Hell tour)
We played "take me away" in the bars way back when, great song and fun to play...hmmm, gonna have to dust off some of my records and another listen through!

My lead guitarist and I want to cover Astronomy, but convincing our singer to handle it is a whole different story. I think we're alone on this one.

I am still holding out hopes that we can do Burnin' For You or Cities on Flame.

I've always liked "Don't Fear The Reaper", "Burning For You", "Godzilla", plus don't forget "Veteran of Psychic Wars". I saw them open for Rush in '86, and they were the loudest band I've ever heard. I was deaf for several hours (we were 9th row).

BOC was the first concert I ever attended. Long Beach Arena Calif in '74. I was 14.They recorded the show. Some of it appeared on the "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees" live LP. I've seen them with just about every bass player they ever had. Joe Bouchard was great. Saw them a few times recently with Danny Miranda & Rudy Sarzo (who is awesome) Always loved the first 3 albums, but dug most of their stuff. Buck is still one of the best!

When I want to drive my kids nuts, I'll put on Black Blade and play along...love that song!


"mwhahahahhahah!....you poor f***ing humans!"--pure poetry

I have a fear, that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side, don't act the way it should.

LOVE it! That's my favorite BOC album, just because it's got all of these fantasy/sci-fi themes in it. Another one which is really cool is "Monsters."

Plus, who could forget "Lips In the Hills" I mean, is that not some of the best innuendo ever?
