Cold-blooded murder for $20 n change...

One of my fav "hair metal" tunes ever.

That entire album is killer. Every cut, even "Sally Danced," is great. Nothing Sacred isn't a bad follow-up either.

I even dig American Blitzkrieg. Very under-appreciated band.

Love that band/album. Great live band too, saw them twice when they were supporting the debut.

Oh yeah, that's a good one. Not as good as the first two, but no slouch, either. "Sinking in the Sand," "Magic Mary," "The Sky's Falling"—great tunes. Pretty weak mix on that one, though. =(

And they played a local club called Derringer's when I was a teenager. As far as I recall it was an 18+ show, but I did see the band strolling around Westgate Mall wearing their Babylon A.D. jackets. I was way too shy to say anything to them, though.

Oh, and this might be of interest to some of you:



New live album just released or soon to be.

And then there was this from last year:



I don't have a lot of interest in the live album, but this EP is really good. The three unreleased demos are much closer in style to the first two albums than American Blitzkrieg. The re-recording of "Bang Go the Bells" is just meh. You can't top the original.

Always dug that first album!

From the San Francisco Bay Area... when they hit I was really listening to heavier stuff... but as a matter of fact they're playing or just played a small show in San Leandro, Ca.... in the heart of the bay.... Local band Gypsy Flight is opening for them...

I heard this song first...
and always thought - it could of been about the same culprit.
And even Skid Row's "18 and Life " song -
Saints and Sinners " Slippin' Into Darkness" same theme - same name - Billy -

That first album should have made Babylon A.D. a huge band. Nothing Sacred was really good,too.

They played in Niles(Fremont), CA a lot as well. I just didn't want to go to a biker bar to see them.

Ricky was a wild one, not Billy.

These guys were a fun band. Saw them In San Jose & had a blast! The drummer must have been related to Keith Moon,

I still have a free cassette we got that night.

I use to go to Niles Station way back in the old days.. Even played there once.  Not that close but I did go there to check out bands.

One band I remember was Mad Anthony, Party band had a big following... The singer Rik use to be in a band that rehearsed at the same place my old band did, Willard Street musicians guild. Impressive name for a dump,

Awesome! This came on mix yesterday morning I made called "Sex, Drugs,... and Heavy Metal" right after Switchblade Serenade, while Heave's Edge starts of the disc.
