TOKYO BLADE reissues classics!!!

http://www.roadrun.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=93472

I will be all over those!!
Been looking for them on CD for years.
TOKYO BLADE is one of my favourite NWOBHM bands

Yes, they are also one of my fave bands. Have most of their albums and maxis on vinyls and also have a couple of cd´s but i have my TB collection complete thats why i dont think i will buy their albums again.
They are going to play this summer in the south of Spain and i will be their of course.

Lucky you Krokus!!
Would love to see them live!! And with all that sun and cheap beer in Spain.
I`m jealous!! Is it a festival, or just a consert with TB?

I already have two different version of the self titled on CD. I have a copy of Night of the Blade coming from Germany as well.

Good NWOBHM band.

I'll be picking these up!

Yeahhhh, its a festival Olafsto, also with UFO and many legendary spanish bands from the 80s like BARON ROJO, ÑU, BELLA BESTIA, MURO, SOBREDOSIS and a very long etc...
The name of the festival is LEYENDAS DEL ROCK

I had the album Night Of The Blade way back when. I havent heard it in more than 20 years.

Just listened to the S/T about a week ago.Good Stuff.

Tokyo Blade rocks....bummer thay slipped under the radar here in the states

I like their first two full length albums.

Glad everybody digs the Blade so much. Check out our MySpace page for more shows in November. Pics fro the Spain show are there.

Great! It has been stinking hard (and expensive!), at least for me, to find Tokyo Blade CD's. Hope I can get 'em easier now!

I was in the same hotel as TOKYO BLADE but the night before they played they were having a drink next to the swimming pool but i didnt know they were from TOKYO BLADE. So many new members.

Hey Krokus!

Sorry we missed you mate, you should have stopped by. So what did you think of the show?

Bryan

Bryan - how about a new album? And not to offend, but do you have a line on where I can[re]purchase the Mr Ice albums. I STUPIDLY traded them years ago.

We are already putting together some riffs and licks but the real writting won't start until after we get back from our Euro run in Nov.

Anybody here coming out to see us? Might have some extra....passes!

Bryan

I only have one Mr. Ice cd, its borrowed but could copy it for you.

BTW, Tokyo Blade Merch is available at http://www.myspace.com/tokyobladeband

I have the first 2 albums on vinyl. I lost track of many bands when my favorite music store shut down. It was the only one in town at the time except for places like wal-mart.

I followed the link to the Tokyo Blade My-Space page and was surprised by how much music they have that I didn't even know about. I'll be looking into this band again.

Any chance of a US tour? Maybe in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Bryan, i was the very tall blond guy at the hotel. At the bar in the garden next to the swimming pool i ordered a drink on friday night. You guys were having a beer and one of you said hello to me but i didnt know you were from TOKYO BLADE .
I realy liked the concert. Realy great show. I was surprised because many times when a band come back with most of them new members things are not the same anymore but i think you had the metal spirit and i realy loved all the great classics you played. Hail to you Bryan.

Hi Krokus,

Sorry, I don't recall you, with so many ppl there its hard to remember someone specific unless we spoke with them, sorry bro.

Thanks for the kind words we are without a doubt in Blade to bring it back not just ride it out, hence the reason we metalized the older material even though some of it has a little layer of cheese. 'm glad you enjoyed the set, we were having a few sound problems with the monitors too but managed to soldier through it.

Keep It Loud!
Bryan

At this point a US tour is unlikely purely because the market blows. So unless we could get with a package of a couple other bands its not likely to happen. A few one off shows is possible due to the fact that much of band is based near Detroit now.

Bryan

Love Tokyo Blade, one of my favorite NWOBHM bands next to Diamond Head and Tygers of Pan Tang! Definately have to pick these reissues up.
