Nice. Yep, it's a great album. Probably in my top 5 Aussie albums. 'Foreplay' on cassette tape, or the VHS? I still have the VHS in my shed. Would have been worth more a few years ago than now, but if you find the right buyer I'm sure you'd get a sexy price for it.

Random fact was that their guitarist, Phil Bowley, was my best mate in high school's guitar instructor, lol.

I mostly listen to Hip Hop, 60s & 70s Classic Rock, Soul/Motown and Funk with a bit of reggae, dub, jazz, ambient/minimalist and blues thrown in.

I've recently been working as a video editor for Deep Purple (never been my jam exactly, I'm more of a Led Zeppelin and Sabbath man), Mick Rogers, Rainbow and a few others. Was making Bob Daisley's website too (he was bassist for and wrote most of Ozzy's solo songs).

Never got into Ghost, but their core fan base seem insane.  Was talking to a Contractor just yesterday who is flying from Perth to Brisbane just for the gig.  He was trying to tell me about what he is wearing-apparently it's a whole semi cosplay scene at the concerts.

Yeah have been watching a few of their live shows on the tube. Some of the headgear and costumes are pretty out there, obviously not a horror vibe but more of that steampunk sort of feel

ha!

i wasnt into them, but they played just about every other local metal gig going in brisbane back in the day, so i've probably seen them (been at shows they've played) at least 15+ times...
