Anyone else remember Axe?

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

Pulled out Nemesis & Offering and was surprised how well both albums stood the test of time.

hey, I have Nemesis on vinyl somewhere. IIRC therte is a song about heat in the street on it. now I have to get a digital copy somewhere

I had Offering and Nemesis both on cassette, never found either on CD, at least not original recordings. I remember reading a while back that in order for the band to release Offering, which was their most successful album, they had to re-record the whole thing. The recuts weren't as good as the originals. I could be wrong on that story though, so if someone has more info, by all means please share.

I liked everything on Offering. That was a good album (in my opinion) from start to finish. Thinking back to it, my favorites were Rock 'n' Roll Party in the Street, Steal Another Fantasy, and Jennifer.

My son has known RnRPitS since he was about 5 yrs old. Just listened to it this past weekend on our way up to visit my parents for the holidays. He was in the backseat and said "dad, turn it up!!!" That's muh boy.

I just checked, i have their debut as well. Admittedly not as good as Nemesis. So I need to hear Offering now. NOW I tell ya!

 

[METALDUDE]

Hey Lynchsta I have Offering on CD and you can get it. Do an Amazon search...well better yet

Axe is awesome! I have all four of them on vinyl, Offering and nemesis on CD, and had them on cassette as well. I may put them on this morning now. Bobby Barth was a great songwriter but I haven't heard any of his solo stuff.

Indeed they are. I had them for the obscure 80's metal thread, I suppose they're not that obscure . Love both albums

 

[Psychonaut]

Love both albums

Don't forget about Living On The Edge and the self-titled. Neither as good as their more famous ones but still respectable.

Sadly not available on CD. I have been looking sometime for those and then quit.

Some Amazon sellers have them used but for an insane price. I've never seen them on CD in the wild.

My point exactly. That's why I only own on Wounded Bird records "Offering" and "Nemesis" (repeating: damn fine albums ).

That was the song that introduced me to the band, still love it like the first day.

 

[METALDUDE]

Yeah it's still a good tune!!

 

[Up&Away]

Great band...brings back memories. I understand Bobby Barth is with the Southern rock group Blackfoot now.

Is that right??

Apparently. From Dean guitars website...

from Bobby's site...

http://www.bobbybarth.com/

Not sure how old the info on those sites is...but Wiki lists him as a current member. Looks like he toured with them in the 80s after Ken Hensley left. I didn't know that...but I remember seeing Axe & Blackfoot on a tour with Ted Nugent.
