Various Artists – "Roxcalibur"(Guardian Records N' Tapes – GRC 130) 1982

 


If one reads the list of personnel on the dozen or so NWOBHM bands from North Eastern England,featured on this handy compilation, we fine a veritable gold mine of Britishness doing British things, with very very British names.
Where would we be without Brian and Gordon Potts of Brands Hatch? Nowhere I wager,or at least somewhere else behind a door that locks from the inside.
Then we have Steve Cabbage, demon of the keyboards for Exodus.Whose keyboard skills made the red sea collapse in itself again.I'm almost 101 percent sure that this isn't his stage nom de Plume; I envisage a hell of a time was had at school with such an unfortunate moniker, he probably even bullied himself.
Trevor Wardle,Mick Howard,Nev Larkin,Bill and Malcolm Midwood,Mick Hedley, and so on, it reads like a list of rejected drummer names for Spinal Tap 3. Virtually zero foreigners  on this very non-exotic list, except for a very disturbing appearance by some teutonic beast called Dieter Roth of....here we go again "Unter Den Linden"....where that came from I know not;but exist it does.Festering among this festival of British blanditude.
Magnolia being the interior decorating of this rocking compilation,it became necessary to make up for it on the outside,as another British pastime that almost defines them as a race, is to Rock out Man!Oh how they do like to party, even if they are called Mick,or Pete,Dave, or Trevor, they all think they are Pop Stars, and raise hell when they can.
Despite another beige christian name,Keith Moon was not the exception,but the rule.
Ahhh poor old Keith, wife beater,alcoholic,drug consumer stupidity beyond any other idiot one cares to mention;but the best bit that godd 'ol Mooney got away with was when he killed his Chauffeur by reversing his Bentley over him while drunk,no licence,no insurance and attempting to escape a gang of Skinheads after starting a fight in a pub!I doubt if any of us reading this unbelievable rock mythology would escape severe punishment for such mindless twollox!
Ha Ha Haaaa,life of the party was Mooney, wasn't he Pete Townsend? Wouldn't catch you doing that would we? Too busy doing "Research" by subscribing to internet kiddie Porn.......he walked free too??!!
Lets face it kids, all of the 60's/70's glitterati were shagging kids,beating up women,even when they were under-age,pushing class A drugs on to innocent entourage members and potential conquests, and ,basically, would be sharing a prison cell with Jimmy Savilles ghost,Rolf Harris,Glitter Johnathan King,that tit from The Lost Prophets, and frankly ,Mojo fans,The Beatles would have been banged up in 1964 if they had the same laws and attitude as today.Their manager was an Epstein after all?
The Heavy Metal acts around 1979/80 would have loved to do the same as their pervy nonce heroes,but no-one gave a shit about 'em, unless they were Iron Maiden, who were too big to get easy sex by playing Heavy Metal.....awww bless 'em.
But, let's not get distracted by our rock gods' orgiastic excess,"Roxcaliber" sounds innocent enough for me to stupidly announce.....announce, NOT, A NONCE!...Twats!
...to Stupidly announce that there are officially NO Nonces on this record.
They probably all work for the BBC now, after being sacked by Harvey WankStain, while Iron Maiden and Saxon are on the next Lolita Express plane to Epstein Island with Donald Trump at the controls.
Slay them with the Sword of Roxcalibur!

Keith Moon's Rabbi must be laughing ! The Who were ALL zionists, but hey, so were the top nazis, oscar winners, over 90% of the British aristocracy, in fact every famous person is either J*wish or crypto-J*wish. they all don't have the long face and nose like Washington or Lady Di.
Eastman, as in Linda McCartney, was the name some Epsteins chose as an English name. They don't all use colours, precious metals, and town names. Yoko Ono was related to the Jap who signed the Nipponese surrender on the US navy aircraft carrier. Small world aint it for the famous.

Yeah, i think Satan changed their name didn't they, after getting some negative reaction by some god fearing record executives?

Jonny Zchivago said...

Well, isn't Zionism just an opinion? They believe in a Jewish Homeland? Nothing wrong with that basically, just the methods used to get one....ie scorched earth ethic cleaning, indiscriminate murder ,genocide, etc.....so the biggest criticism of the WHO in that case is that they were wrong...if indeed they did actually support the Zionist banner...that and Townsend had a big nose.....like Lady Die.

I would like to point out that it is not hygienic to speak openly about certain topics in this multi-continental Dictatorship of Smiles.

Jonny Zchivago said...

Well Fabio, i have long flouted the rules of the dictatorship,and i'm sure its been noted by the FBI.Trigger words like Epstein,Trump and child abuse are usually to be avoided.....but....Fuck those Kunts the first against the wall after the oncoming american civil war part 2.....so I can cope with being blacklisted.
