Where is the love for WOLFSBANE?

Were they, like, the Darkness of 1990 or whatever year it was that their Rick Rubin-produced debut came out? Or would they have been, had anybody paid attention? Fairly inticingly anachronistically jean-jacketed look for the time, as I recall; Martin Popoff compared them to lots of NWOBHM bands I never heard of that for all I know he might have made up. I believe he also compared them to a shouting gang of drunken football hooligans, never a negative comparison as far as I'm concerned. I have the cassette at home, and I remember really liking it, though I haven't played it for many a year. (They apparently put out a couple subsequent LPs; how much you wanna bet those were worse?)

Isn't that Blaze Bailey's old band? I remember having a Wolfsbane cassette for review. Listened to it a lot and can't remember a
a damn song. Think it came with a Four Horseman 4-song cassette that sounded like Status Quo as Ritalin addicts, actually better than you would think.

Havana Black was on the regional FM at the time, playing something that sounded like Bad Company, which I remember because there was a chorus that, I think, went "Hoo your-self!"

I see Blaze Cd's. Looks like stuff fit for UDO fans.

haha, I had the first Wolfsbane record on cassette. That was back when I bought anything and everything that Rick Rubin had a hand in. I really couldn't get into the Wolfsbane though. They didn't have very good riffs. Unmemorable.

but yeah, where is the love for the Four Horsemen?? or Raging Slab?? the Trouble lp that Rick produced was pretty good too, actually.

They were from Tamworth.

Damn you, Dan Perry -- you beat me to the punch.

(Though I prefer Rahne as drawn by the dude who was doing New Mutants around the time of Inferno.)
