Music videos that feature Thunderbirds

[Dave W]

 

 This fellow is on the FB Thunderbird group.

Jimmie Randall, right?

[uwe]

He probably changed his name so he is no longer identified with the ever so slightly risqué inner sleeve of their third album ...



I sure would have! 

That inner sleeve was - even back then - awful in so many ways, it's easy to lose count.

Not that the outside gatefold cover was much better ...

Some good cushion for pushing there. Reminds me of the old lady

Whole Swervedriver show here with Mick Quinn from Supergrass and his 2014 Thunderbird.

For the benefit of our more junior members, one innocent question must be allowed: You don't keep by any chance a lot of edding markers around the house?

This forum is a caleidoscope of glistening - in some cases even illustrative - sin. 

[4stringer77]

Can’t say that I do. Might be a fun idea to try some. If I do, should I post pics of the recreation here? 

[uwe]

We're not that kind of a place!!!   

And sending wife pics gets you in all kinds of trouble, just think of Alex, that fearless purveyor of factual truth.

[4stringer77]

Of course I was kidding and couldn’t do such a thing to my wonderful partner especially after she served me blueberry pie on my birthday. She’s also brought our daughter into this world who is the light of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me.
No comment in regards to Alex.

Didn't they used to have two bass players?

[Ken]

I can't say I know much about Swervedriver.  I know Girls Against Boys has two bass players.

Has this appeared here before?

I'd never heard of these guys but it's where Blaze Bailey started, best known for fronting Iron Maiden for a while in the 90s.
The song seems pleasant enough but kind of musically nonsensical, like a bunch of riffs arbitrarily stitched together.

I'd only read about them. Vocally it seems like it's much inspired by David Lee Roth-era Van Halen.

Whatever it's inspired by, there isn't much to be said for the vocals on that video.

I've never heard Wolfsbane before, but judging from this vid what was Steve Harris thinking hiring this guy to follow Bruce Dickinson? Just from that one song it's clear that Blaze has a limited range and tendency to sing flat - both of which with Iron Maiden is toxic. If anything, an Iron Maiden singer needs to sing sharp (like many metal singers do).

For the most part, he sounds awful here (and he's again mostly flat which makes a lot of his vocal lines sound tuneless), and I'm not a Blaze hater nor an Iron Maiden lover, but he was obviously forced into an impossible situation. Poor guy.

[slinkp]

Bruce Dickinson is a tough act to follow.
It's hard to imagine who could have done an Iron Maiden tour without being a disappointment. Dio could have for sure.
At least Blaze seems to have a healthy attitude about it all, and it seems the band has continued to be respectful. Not always the case in these situations.
