Geoff Banks has been to the Dial Inn in Glasgow to see prog rockers Pallas perform a three-set daytime extravaganza, including a 30 minute version of Pink Floyd's 'Echoes', and their new single 'Arrive Alive', shared here from the self-produced 1981 LP, rather than the more polished version from The Sentinel LP.
Geoff describes Pallas as 'Scotland's self-proclaimed leaders of the progressive rock revival', a movement that Kerrang! has begun to champion in recent issues... 👍

After barely recovering from the excitement of the first gimpse of Mercyful Fate in Issue 15's Armed & Ready section, the feature lead us to their previous band - Brats! A new discovery for us - and featuring Michael Denner and Hank Shermann, and later King Diamond himself - the band released an LP on CBS titled '1980 Brats', and it is well worth a listen! A great metal / punk crossover that would have blended in perfectly with the '90s Scandinavian garage rock scene... Enjoy! 👍😃

Killer Kutz from Kerrang! Issue 15, 1982 and there's another exciting glimpse of the future... and the future is thrash! In the 'new band' section - Armed & Ready - we are treated to a first glimpse of legendary and influential black metal pioneers, Mercyful Fate! The band have recently supported both Girlshool and Gillan, recorded a four-track demo, and are incorporating 'a huge black crucifx' into their stage show... A sign of things to come, as Into The Coven will be added to the PMRC's Filthy Fifteen list of songs to be avoided for fear of corruption! 😃👍

Killer Kutz from Kerrang! Issue 14, 1982 and we are treated to a full-page colour poster of Joan Jett (shared on our Instagram, and in the comments below), following the previous early promotion of the I Love Rock n Roll single on import from the US in Issue 11, on its way to spending 7 weeks at Number 1 on the Billboard Chart, and reaching Number 4 in the UK 👍
But the Blackhearts' single wasn't the first time Joan had recorded a version of the Arrows hit, first teaming-up with Steve Jones and Paul Cook in 1979 to create this cool version 😎

New album Straight Between The Eyes get's a rave review, describing Rainbow as "...heavy metal's greatest phenomena...", and the brilliant single Stone Cold is top of the Top 30 Kutz, compiled this issue by DJ Gaz North, from the Grey Horse Inn, Huddersfield 😃👍
Stone Cold is Rainbow's only Top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit, also reaching 34 in the UK.

Killer Kutz from Kerrang! Issue 13, April 1982, and the regular chart comes from Bob C at the Top Pop Cellar in Omagh and features 'The Biggest Song Of All Time' in the Number 2 slot!
Bob's got his finger on the pulse, showcasing the 18xPlatinum (according to Forbes, our second favourite magazine) Don't Stop Believin'!
https://youtu.be/x3idGV-7kSQ?si=tlPfY-MuJE6Gu_Y7
It's a slightly calmer chart, compared to Issue 12's rowdy Colwyn Bay heavy metal night, and features other Kerrang! favourites such as Grand Prix and Krokus, and of course Iron Maiden... For more metal mayhem from Issue 13, head over to https://wherelegendslive.co.uk/blog/issue-13/

What looks like a relatively quiet Armed & Ready - Kerrang!'s regular showcase for up-and-coming bands - requires a second glance! Two members of Treason - already enjoying some minor success in 1982, but most concerned about raising enough money to buy a decent van - will go on to join UK glam metal faves Tygertailz! Vocalist Steve Denham will change his name to Steevi Jaimz, and will be joined on Tygertailz' 1987 debut LP by drummer Ace Finchum (no name-change required) 😎

Kerrang! continues to base its chart on anything but actual sales, and for Issue 12 they turn to the Colwyn Bay Pier Heavy Metal Night playlist! 😎
Looks like a pretty good night, and AC/DC take the Number One spot with the awesome live b-side to Let's Get It Up, included here in live video form, recorded in Maryland the previous year👍

Scorpions make the front cover with the release of their 8th studio album, Blackout... The LP would be certified Gold in the US by June👌
But it wasn't all plain sailing, with Don Dokken helping them out with the initial demos, while Klaus Meine underwent surgery on his vocal chords... Coincidentally, Dokken's debut LP Breaking The Chains, is also reviewed in Issue 12.
Enjoy this superb live version of Can't Live Without You (there's 3 minutes of audience participation before it really gets going 😄), a track described by Klaus in their Kerrang! interview - "I realised that we can't live without touring and our audiences" 👍

Rock legends Magnum have finally released their Chase The Dragon LP, 2 years after recording it, and 4 years since Geoff Barton's 5-Star review of their debut album in Sounds. CTD get's a less enthusiastic response, claiming on the one hand the band are "a one group festival of 70's rock", at the same time suggesting "the whole package is aimed mainly at American radio"... 😐 The album is - of course - superb, and with a Rodney Matthews sleeve and timeless tracks like Soldier Of The Line, it would become Magnum's highest charting album in the UK, and still sounds great today 🤘🤘🤘
