Good old 80s hard rock band. Unfortunately when these guys were scheduled to play the Central Club I was unable to attend as I had brought tickets for Bon Jovi already
a Beatbox metal classic from the 80's, one of very few Aussie metal bands back then,, saw them at the 7 Hills Inn must have been in 1986-7, walked out without my fkn shoes that night
Very under rated classic brilliant aussie metal band.This song is an ANTHEM ,love tohave this on cd ,i've got like 6 copies of the EP on vynyl.Yep I've definately Miss this shit,as well as "heavin'"& cheat on.I love THE TIGERS" Man.BENGALS ATTACK!!!!
Is this the real "Gordon Heald". If so, I'm trying to track down some killer demos you guys recorded back in `85. "Leanne", "Down In Flames" and "Justice Will Be Done". Do you remember these songs? Our manager at the time was given a copy by you guys on a trip up to Sydney. Any chance of uploading these on the net in the near future?
Thanks for the update. If Yuri is registered with YouTube maybe he can upload those demos with a picture gallery of "live" photos of the Bengals. He may also be able to upload your copy of "Cheat On". There has been a lot of demand recently to see this clip on YouTube. Also, I know our ex-manager has you guys on video at the "Metal Crusade" concert from `85 at Selina's Coogee Bay Hotel in Sydney. I will try and hunt this down in the near future.
Ello Gordon here I did not get herpes but steve is still lookin for the cure I suggest he bath in beer a great clip there were hundreds of par cans and really great fire at the end my boots recieved third degree burns ( still got em)
Great Memories! My band, SHY THUNDER, used to open for these guys whenever they travelled up to Sydney. The biggest show being the Metal Crusade concert in 1985 at Selina's in Coogee Bay. All good guys to work with and always put on a professional show.
Oh my God I remember that show so well, we got ripped off in the cross buying mull, the sound guy we took up stunk our room out, Mick from Nothing Sacred was banging one of the housemaids at selinas(hahah mo-job mick) Mick Lights my rigger was passed out in from of the p.a. duing the gig,tooheys dark, tooheys new...crab and salad rolls ...the flying pieman outside selinas, the reception the next night on the north shore in someones mansion, (oh man what a gig! R
I'm a huge Metal fan of 80's Big Hair bands. I too was shocked when we lost Robyn from Ratt. He was a great gentle giant, who I met on a few occasions through some friends while living in the US. He did needles, which lead to Aids. On the upside, Ratt is still alive and well in the states and so are many other great Metal bands like BulletBoys, Twisted Sister and more. It's a shame we don't have that here in the land of OZ.
Bengals were great live when they came to S.A- remember a night at the Findon Hotel totally destroyed!!! Loved those boots,those days were the BEST! They released a mini CD album in 95 called PAINCLINIC (which I have + the early mini L.P) well worth a listen... excellent!
Fucken aoth man, wat happened to good ol aussie metal? Now its just kids on stage screaming. Thats why I am starting a revolution. My uncles band used to support these guys back in the 80's, thats when '21' used to be 'the pier hotel'. Go down n see the metak bands on a friday nite, damm shame im only 17. Fucken tryin to bring it back, cant find leather pants anywhere haha. Ur a legend for postin this!
Im with you right there mate. I'm not much older than you... whatever happened to great old Australian metal? Bring back Bengal Tigers, Nothing Sacred, Boss, Black Alice, Heaven... I heard that Taipan from Melbourne have reformed?
Hahaha that sounds like Steve, there were these three sisters back them, Helen, Tammy and...the other one. From memory Steve was with Tammy, she was the wild one, dont remember the herpes but why would you broadcast that right? Steve was one o fthe sweettest gentlest dudes on the melb metal scene in the 80's
I'd love to get hold of the Cheat On clip, me & some mates are in that video, i still know all the words 'cause they kept replaying it over & over & over
Has anyone got the lyrics to the song, I'd really like to get a hold of them!
