Just an amazing band and an amazing album. Andy Boulton'solos are pure NWOBHM dreams. Pity that very few people know it!

From: TokyoBlade Date: March 5, 2004 at 13:50
Yes, this is a great album. I own every single Tokyo Blade album (For obvious reasons) and I think Burning down paridise is great as well.

From: Mr. Marsh Date: March 8, 2004 at 10:21

From: Vince Date: March 28, 2004 at 16:24

From: Mr Marsh Date: June 13, 2004 at 13:08
Note about Iron Maiden... People say we were influenced by them. Other way round, a lot of their songs had our riffs in(two minutes to midnight is one) and Sum 41 nicked a riff from this album. But we dont care.

Hello all. I just though that I'd let you know that there is now a new TB forum up and running. http://cobranaconda.proboards32.com/index.cgi It has me as the admin and Chris Marsh (Alan's son) as a Global Mod. I hope that you all come and visit.
