Earthshine Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Anybody remember Angel? Could have been the original "hair band!" Did not actually get into them until 2003! But knew about them for a long, long time. Greg Giuffria (who later formed his own excellent band) played keyboards with them. Anyway, here are a few excellent songs by them (crank these UP!) Call them anything you want. They blow away any new band that has come out since at least 1980! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I got a couple of albums by these boys back in the day about 30 years ago, probably because of the KISS connection and the fact they dressed like Rush on 2112... They were ok but not that great, I actually prefered the spin-off band Giuffria... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Oh boy! Here we go again! Punky Meadows is a great fukkin' guitarist!! Shit, ANGEL is the WHITE KISS!! Both bands were signed to Casablanca Records. You had KISS in all black leather and face paint, and then their "COUNTERPARTS" LOL!! ANGEL in all white. Man I love this band. Wouldn't you guys know this already??? "White Lightning! Seems Frighting!" ON EARTH AS IT IS ON HEAVEN is my favorite record by ANGEL! Did you know that if you take that album cover and turn it upside down it's the same album cover!! Kooky but true!!! Pick up the live "Live Without A Net" double cd. Remastered by BGO. Shit, I just mentioned that record label on the Robin Trower Thread. They should pay me for these plugs. Actually I think that the BGO Label is generic and cheap, but at least they keep the great tunes in print. ANGEL RULES!! Signed, "TOWER!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Krinkle Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Sure, this belongs in the Frank Zappa thread but..............

Terry: That's meeee! Don Pardo: That cute little drummer . . . Terry recently felt in love with a publicity photo of a boy named Punky Meadows, lead guitar player from a group called ANGEL . . .

VarianStar Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I don't know much about Angel. I will admit though that I like House of Lords, they are kind of a guilty pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
