Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:21:58 +0000 http://www.goodbadmusic.com/?p=2057#comment-19141 [...] One of the undisputable landmarks of the New Wave of Brititsh Heavy Metal: Fast & furious, highly melodic and catchy as fuck - the send 7″ by JAGUAR. “Axe crazy” features speedy double bass action that predates most in the Speed / Thrash Metal genre. Totally like a sped up version of DIAMOND HEAD. Insane, this song, insane. Whenever I played this in the past 26 years that I knew it, it left me speechless. I played this 7″ so often that I totally ruined it. Had to buy me a spare copy recently. The flip, “War MAchine” is just as great, though it’s not as fast. I don’t know, but JAGUAR always created this heavy, thick atmosphere, kinda gloomy, so that every touching of the chords, every break sounds meaningful. You cannot top this, you simple can’t. This is one perfect, flawless, timeless 7″. For the band’s first 7″ and a bit more text, follow this link.

A perfect idea, as you said "the 2nd JAGUAR 7″ will top this", although you also wrote on a bold sign here Never ask for: reups-cassette copies-favors of any sort-mustard on meat served with wine and so on. Son not as a favor but consider it your duty to post that second 7". All joking aside, I really appreciate this one as it's the first NWOBH I've taken a fancy to in a while. This one was really eye openning. Great comment too from WTT.

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 16:50:15 +0000 http://www.goodbadmusic.com/?p=2057#comment-19002 Erich: Now this is exactly the sort of information I'm looking for. It would be great if some people had actually admitted to going faster because of punk, but this kind of thing is important as well. As far as punk-nwobhm connections so far, I've got: Paul Di'anno (was a punk before Maiden, funny because other members claimed to hate punk) Tank (Algy Ward was in the Damned) Brats (not from the UK, but a perfect example) Venom (admit to punk influence) Thin Lizzy (not nwobhm, but an important influence, Lynott created the Greedies with members of Sex Pistols, supported punk) the obvious Motorhead (not nwobhm, played with the Damned and other bands, covered, supported, and influenced punk) Saxon (Biff Byford admits punk influence, supported the Clash) Diamond Head (Brian Tatler admits punk influence) Girlchool (Kim McAuliffe admits punk influence, band shared flat with UK Subs) Trust (again not necessarily nwobhm, but admitted punk influence) I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff. I'd love to hear any more info anyone has on the topic. Also, for anyone interested, this Guardian article on nwobhm covers some of this, and offers some other interesting info about life in a nwobhm band as well: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/jan/02/saxon-rock-music Erich: Now this is exactly the sort of information I’m looking for.

I'd just say it's pretty obvious, plus we have some nwobhm bands with a "punk past". Also, one should never forget how AC/DC were preceived when they got popular outside Australia: The 2nd german 7" had a "Punk Rock" seal printed on the cover and the whole "Let there be Rock" album reeks of punk. The speed, the emergency, the angst. Wow, I need to play it right now!! WTT: I don’t really know how an empirical proof or disproof actually could look like.
