I guess it's 3 episodes cause they said all they wanted to say? Maybe?

Of course a bigger series would be great, there is a LOT to show and tell here.

Watched the whole lot, very cool show. Nice to see and hear some Tesla right there near the end.

I'm sure everyone here would dig this.

There's plenty of Skids with Snake a main part of the show. I dig the old footage of them with Seb.

I saw John Carobi play the whole Crue album in Sydney, but it was this doco that got me listenting to The Scream again after all these years.

I was interested in them because I heard they were working with Eddie Kramer, and there seemed to be a buzz about them.

At the time I had no idea who the band members were, ie that Bruce Bouillet and Juan Alderete were from Racer X, and I guessed when I found out that this was a chance to be more comercially recognised, which is no bad thing.

I gotta say, playing songs like these Bruce was a tasty guitarist!

I also found my old 5-track sampler cassette for the album. I forget where I got it, maybe from a magazine back then? I was surprised, happily, to find it where I thought it might be!
