NWOBHM documentary 1980 - old school uk heavy metal

A little bit of edited footage from a 1980 british TV show about fans of the "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" (NWOBHM) music movement of the early 80's in England.

TRIVIA: The bearded air guitarist was in the judas priest video for "living after midnight" during the guitar solo and at the end on the bus. Also his "inverted V" cardboard guitar is in the Judas Priest video for "Breaking the Law", shown being played by the security guard.

I wonder if they registered that inverted Flying V design, Gibson would owe them a fortune! Long live the Soundhouse! Long live Willy Flasher & The Raincoats ;)

@Geetar2112 - yeah Gibson actually made a real inverted V guitar like this in 2007 as a limited edition run of only a few hundred, and they sold out right away. search for: gibson Reverse Flying V
