You can tell where Axl Rose got some of his singing style and moves from aka Richard Black.
He even does the SHOCKER hand gesture decades before Steel Panther made it a thing.

Underated Bands List
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.

Re: Underated Bands List
Talented band and great singer. It does take more than talent to make it, so many musicians and actors that aren't well known, or didn't get far.
I'm seeing some Axl stuff cause you mentioned it, but this was after AFD so maybe he was channelling a bit of MR Rose?
There was a local originals band here called Paris Calling in the early 90's. I'll have to ask their guitarist if this was where they got the name.

'Like a phoenix rising from the proverbial ashes, Los Angeles based arena-hard rock musicians, Shark Island, are no strangers to the music scene. Founded in 1979 by singer Richard Black and guitarist Spencer Sercombe, under the name ‘Sharks’, they independently released their album titled Alter-Ego in 1982, and it wasn’t long before the band branded the LA music scene with their own signature style through their blistering live performances.
In 1985 the band made the decision to rebrand themselves from Sharks to Shark Island, and soon followed up their first album Alter-Ego with a new album known as S’cool Buss. '

Re: Underated Bands List
I haven't listened to Contraband in years but on "All the way to Memphis" Schenker really smoked Tracy Gunns pack LOL. Schenker's tone and hand vibrato are world class on this song
Re: Underated Bands List
I didn't really listen to them but I remember Contraband, so much so I used that name for my current band over here. I had it up my sleeve and finally began using it about 2017 and hopefully won't need to re-invent the band and change it.
