He was showing it off to us next day, I remember it had 'CLIVE BURR HIT 'EM HARD' printed along it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate used to refers to them as ‘the pretty version of GirlsSchool’. I saw GS quite a few times, but never got to see RG live. First time i ever heard the song Bang Bang was them playing it, and its still my fav version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sykilz Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 My originals band ( back in the day, as they say...) supported Girlschool at the Chelmsford Army and Navy pub, must have been '93, '94 (?).. I don't know if they had any original members from the 80's version of the band. We were terrified. Luckily, due to grunge being the flavour of the day, virtually noone turned up so it was like all our other gigs 😆😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I always liked Girlschool. Saw them a couple of times and they definitely brought it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GF/singer was in an all girl covers band with Jackie just before she joined GS. Its strange seeing her on those large stages at rock festivals, when ive also seen her playing in social clubs with all the sparkling costumes they used to wear.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yeah, saw girl school many times in the '80s . Always good value . I'd say if they were just starting out now , they'd be a lot bigger . The last time I saw them was with rogue make at the Hammersmith Clarendon . Rogue male supporting . Very late '80s/early '90s . Jim lyttle was a top bloke . It was a good gig . Onky saw rock goddess once at the marquee around the same time . They were good. They just passed me by for some reason . Not sure of the ins and outs , but I'm not sure if they were managed / promoted very well .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reformed a couple of years ago and the latest album is quite good 😎 Didnt know about this until i saw your post, just had a listen. The album reminds me of early Vixen, but less polished (well it was the 80’s). Probably the vocals. Thanks for posting that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played at the Motorheadbangers party (Iron Fist release?) at the Ritz in Manchester - anyone remember the date? Loudest band I ever saw, and that includes Motorhead (several times). Bass player played a TBird - ‘60s IIRC - fingerstyle I think through I think an Orange head. He sounded immense. A lot of the other bands used to play at the Norbreck Nightspot back in the day. My distinct memories of the Norbreck include Def Leppard, Saxon, Iron Maiden (with Di'Anno), Samson, Angelwitch, Witchfynde, Vardis, Magnum, Tygers of Pan Tang, Girlschool, White Spirit, Praying Mantis, Mythra, and Law (aka Blizzard of Ozz's not-so-secret warm-up gig), but I'm sure there must have been umpteen more whose names are now lost in the mists of time and my memory. I somehow missed seeing Budgie, Diamond Head and Limelight there, though did see Limelight at JR's (supported by local band Stallion IIRC). Happy days...

I missed quite a few of those for reasons I can’t remember; I think some of my mates went to most of the ones I missed. I saw Angelwitch, Vardis (?), possibly Witchfynde (not sure), Girlschool a couple of times. Pretty sure there were others. Watched the sound check for Blizzard, met the band, also watched the gig which was an extremely enjoyable shambles. Remember thinking Randy Rhoads (unknown to me at the time) was amazing. I supported Limelight in my first band, may have been at the Gaiety Bar? We’d just got a new singer, who was hopeless. He lasted the one gig. I don’t think we lasted much longer in that incarnation; Tbh we weren’t very good, but we’d only been playing a couple of years or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden supported with Di'Anno, Burr and Stratton. I saw the same tour but at Hammersmith Odeon. I won front row tickets as there was a competition form in the "Unleashed in the East" album. Touched Rob Halford's leather biker boots. As you do 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
