  • A couple of my 80's metal band's demos... Post Yours too!

    Hey folks -

    There was a thread a little while ago on Harmony Central asking people to post their old 80's metal band songs and it was pretty fun so I thought I'd start one here. Anyway..., I just found an 18 year old demo cassette from my old band NorthStar and I converted the cassette to mp3s for your amusement. We recorded these two songs in 4 hours at Hit Man Recording in LA in 1986 and we knew nothing about recording, so the mix is courtesy of their midnight shift (it was cheaper) engineer - pretty bad... All one take except vocals. I played the second solo in both songs in addition to rhythm guitar and background vocals. It was a two guitar band and there are two solos in each song...

    There are three things on the page linked below (musicv2.com does not allow me to directly link the songs):

    Two songs:

    Push Comes To Shove
    Take It To The Limit

    or, you can listen to both songs in the band's appearance on the Los Angeles radio station KLOS' Local Music Show:

    Here's the link:

    You may have to scroll down in the window to find the links to the songs...

    The 80's were pretty funny, eh? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

    Anyway..., post some more 80's metal clips if ya got 'em and check mine out for fun...

    Steve, you guys were pretty good. The quality is not bad either...very cool [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

    On the other end of the spectrum, we have my offering. This was recorded in the worst excuse for a studio I have ever seen. At the time we thought it was the greatest thing ever. I think we paid for it by trading the guy an old window unit AC...haha

    This was my band Mean Street which also featured fellow JCFer Gary Powell. The song is an original called...what else, Mean Street...

    be patient, the first few seconds are silent...

                              Ok since nobody else is brave enough to post their 80's demos, I have another one to add to txcharvel's post earlier. This is another one from our 80's band Mean Street. Same ol'crappy studio. This was our "Power Ballad" which was so popular then, It's called "Won't be Alone". We got alot of requests for this one.

                              Get it here: http://www.geocities.com/riff_addiction/

                              Not bad for inexperienced rookie musician's. Pat was the only one who had played in a band before.

                              Enjoy.
