@wovokanarchy The drummer is Buzz Bidstrup and is a drumming legend in Australia. The man is an awesome drummer, listen to their stuff when he played - fkn amazing!! So was Brent Eccles btw!

The drummer looks like a man possessed

1977 .13 yrs old , No idea,No clue,Brandavino,The Angles,ACDC,Headbanging was my only crime.Not like punks these days.
-
The drummer looks like he should be playing for Fleetwood Mac or ELO, he was out of touch at that time and he's probably still out of touch to this day.
-
The Angels. Fantastic!
-
@cass3765 they always get the crowd rocking - I have seen them more times than I can remember, but at the Newcastle earthquake concert where there was a pretty good line up - the were the only band that when they came on the place went berserk - it was awesome and it just proved that these guys are legends.

Bring back the show Countdown. The Australian music industry needs another show like Countdown. If it wasn`t for Countdown we may never have got to see or hear AC/DC, Angels, Rose Tattoo, INXS.. etc..

@ManFromMelbourne yeah, countdown was instrumental... but today's bands aren't writing those good solid songs like they used to. The Living End and Jet may have the chops, but they're not writing material as straight-out as this. If The Angels recorded 'White Noise' or 'She's A Genius' around this period you think it would even be released? The songs were better - commercial or not.

Great to hear/see this. I only knew this song through the late great Mick Ronson's swan song album: "Heaven and Hull" He made this album when he had terminal liver cancer, and it's a goodie. 'Love both versions of this song.

@tennis11ish it's great to hear that a rock legend of that status recorded this song on his last record. thank you for sharing that information.

Aussies have the best of everything. We get to listen to the best the world has to offer and we also get to hear our own stuff. The US would go silly over this stuff but most will never get to hear it.

@dickstermandster
I agree that we did manage to get the best (and worse) of everything the world had to offer, which made our scene very strong..
We were and still are a 'what if' nation.
