Wecome Home ( Sanitarium ) - Metallica = From the epic Master of Puppets LP.

Doc Martin Stomp - Madball ( Which is the tattoo I've got down my left leg - I just 'kin love NYHC )

What a great song - anyway I digress...... Stormchild - Jaguar ( Bristol's Finest NWOBHM exponents )

Iron Horse ( Born to Lose ) - Motorhead . This is the song that changed my life. ( We've all got one haven't we ? ) Back in the mid 70s Radio Bristol used to have a sunday afternoon "Rock " show. I used to listen to it when my parents were out and I was supposed to be doing home work.To be honest it was absolute 5hit - they used to play Camel , Yes, Jethro Tull and all that other crap that used to masquerade as rock music.Occasionally they would play something that was OK by Hawkwind or Be Bop Deluxe.Then one sunday , almost grudgingly they played Iron Horse Born to lose, and that was that for me. Saved all my money sticking up skittles , purchased an unrestricted Gilera with my own money. Grew my hair and chose the Biker life. 26 Bikes later, I now ride a clapped out old British Bike and a Harley. The hair went in my last big "off" along with a collection of fine scars. Still I ride - thanks to that one song.

Motor City Is Burning - MC5

Give Me Back My Wig - George Thorogood and the Destroyers.

Snow Queen - Rose Tattoo ( which isn't a song about wet stuff in winter )

Woman -Anti Nowhere League

Crash Course in Brain Salad Surgery - Budgie ( a VERY strange Welsh Rock band - one minute they would be tip toeing through the tulips ,next they would be heavier than Machine Head - a big influence on Metallica. Seen them at the legendary Granary club back in the day )

Burning - Dirt Box Disco.( A really good new'ish Welsh punk band )

Whiskey Rock and Roller - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Atlas Rise ! - Metallica ( From the excellent new album )

Lightning To The Nations - Diamond Head ( The best of the NWOBHM bands, who for some bizarre reason never made it - when the likes of Def Leppard made millions )

Machine Gun Etiquette - The Damned

Warhead - UK Subs ( in my opinion the greatest punk rock song of all time - and literally decades ahead of it's time - Charlie Harper must have looked into a bl00dy good crystal ball. )

One in a million - Guns'n'Roses

Built To Last - Sick of it all.

Bring The Noise - Anthrax

Hellbound - Tygers Of Pan Tang
