Want everyone to notice the shirt Brendon is wearing, a band so good it made my day just seeing it!

Hello my friend. I really owe you one for bringing Kate Clover to my attention. Very much appreciated. I dig your channel.

Hi Brendon, Love your channel. Pretty Rough were an Edmonton, Alberta CANADA based band releasing two albums. Pretty Rough (1982) and Got the Fire (1984).

Congratulations, Brendon on discovering Talisman. I recently stumbled upon them while scrolling through You Tube videos. It was a live performance of “Mysterious”. I immediately ordered the “Genesis” album from Amazon. My copy is a 2003 remaster and includes the original LP artwork and an entire second cd of bonus tracks. Excellent video. PS I have to check out that Richrath cd now!

I like the style of the Rock Candy cd's. The way they're presenting it makes you want to discover the music ! My music finds this week : the four first albums of the norwegian band Conception : I had never heard anything about them before. The cover of the album "Parallel Minds" caught my eye. And it's catchy power/progressive metal from the early nineties.

THANKS for the heads up on STRIDER!!! found them om KZfaq. Now it's time to get the real deal CDs.

Genesis blew your mind but the self-titled didn't? Dude! Listen again. Such a killer album.

I can always spot the Rock Candy releases in the thumbnail. I'll have to check out Strider.

Pretty Rough are Canadian as you thought. They have two very good albums and you’re correct, they’ve never been released on cd. Hopefully they will be at some stage.

Tommy Bolin was a great guitar player , a lot of people think he was better Ritchie Blackmore in his prime , i have few or his albums. Your pick its very good this week .

Strider have one track on the 'Reading Festival 1973' lp along with The Faces,Rory Gallagher,Status Quo,Greenslade and others. I picked up a bargain bin copy probably in the early '80s. I remember them being around and getting press in the early 70s but they never really got far. Need to pick up these cds.

Love new music finds!!!! 9 times out of 10 I pick up something new from this. Going to check out Strider and Gary Richrath. Picked up George Lynch,Josh Todd,Ratt and Blackwood Creek last week.

Sadly Marcel Jacob from Talisman passed away some years ago. The band were brilliant and he was a phenomenal musician but he battled with personal and health issues which he was unable to overcome. Tragically, at the age of 45 Marcel took his own life.

Great show, Brendon! I picked up Pretty Rough on cassette when it came out and wasn't initially impressed at first. But it's really good and has somehow stuck with me to this day. It's their second album, as there was also a self-titled debut that got no U.S. distribution, which I still have on a watch list. You've increased my curiosity of the Ratt Rarities and Strider reissues. I just may give them a shot.

Greg X Volz was offered the lead singer position in REO Speedwagon back in 1976 but he turned them down because he wasn't keen on their rock & roll lifestyle choices, and they brought back Kevin Cronin instead. An interesting Sliding Doors moment.

Got to track down those Strider discs! Get vid as always.😊

Petra is a great band, different styles on some of the albums but they dont have really a bad album . My sisters name is Petra too. TALISMAN underrated.

Strider was a great band, there are a zillion semi-progish great bands from this mid to late 70s era... Strapps, Spontaneous Combustion, American Tears, Stories, Blackfoot Sue, Boxer, Crack the Sky, Dirty Tricks, Stray, Stray Dog, Hustler, Nutz, Tea, Tiger, Streets, Strife, Rose, Roadmaster, Savage Grace, Stepson, Sensational Alex Harvy Band and tons more, these were from the top of my head.

I'll check out that Strider. Cool👍

Have that Pretty Rough album to. Have everything "too loud" was involved in.

WOW, Brendon, that is so weird to get this info 36 years later! I was at the *Monsters of Rock Festival 1987 in Nürnberg* (or Nuremburg as you Americans rename the city on tour shirts...) feat. RATT and actually saw them recording the show backstage; I did an interview with Stephen Pearcy that day and now you tell me there are songs from that show on a record after all this time?! Checking the credits on discogs it says only on ONE song *Body Talk (Live In Germany 1987)* so I guess its just that one?

Brendon if you're into Strider then you will like Moxy. First album Moxy and second album Moxy ll.

Do you have the Soul Sirius album World Play? Schon, Soto, Virgil Donati, Marco Mendoza…very underrated. There are 2 versions; original cd and the re release with 7 bonus tracks and dvd

I have the original Petra beyond belief ...got it for 2 euros , a near mint copy from a friend some 5 years back....25 $ is a rip off 😂....Cheers from Ghy, India 👍🏼👍🏼
