This Youtube channel is dedicated to the legendary London based NWOBHM band WEAPON and the musicians involved in creating their music...
About Me:
 
"METALLICA opened its early live sets (and "Kill em all" album) with "Hit the lights" a song that begins with a noisy 2 -- chord flourish meant to evoke the opening of a concert. However, in a further illustration of NWOBHM's important role in Metallica's musical direction, the opening chords -- drum fills and all seem to have been lifted directly from WEAPON's "Set the Stage alight" The 1980 release from the influential fledgling NWOBHM band"...Metallica Biography "Damage Incorporated" Published 2006

WEAPON had become one of NWOBHM's biggest insider tips and after the split of the band in 1981 all the guys remained the best of friends. The band released one single "It's A Mad Mad World" b/w "Set The Stage Alight", which got to number 2 in the Heavy Metal charts. They also recorded several tracks for an album "Set The Stage Alight", which never saw the light of day until October 2003 when it was released by Zoom Club Records. In 2005 they actually got together again for a 25 years reunion gig in Germany ....The main show played was at The Headbangers-Open-Air Ball which was a great success. This gig was recorded and the band hope to put the live album out sometime in late 2009, with some follow-up shows tp promote it.
With Bruce committed to Andy Scott's Sweet and Baz retired from live work due to illness Weapon are happy to announce, with the blessing of Baz & Bruce, that Gavin Cooper (Battlezone/Killers/Statetrooper) will join us on Bass/Vocals along with Ian Sweeting (The Risen/Stone Katz) on Drums.
