As a teenager fairly new to Metal I had seen a few "National" acts...Quiet Riot, Megadeth, Dio but in 1987 I walked into the Thirsty Whale for my first all ages "Local" thrash metal show and this band was on stage...ripping! I'll never forget it. It was the moment I realized Metal is an art form made up of its fans, the common people. These were not huge "rockstars" or immortals...they were everyday people like me...and they were killing it. Especially the bass player...I've never forgotten it.

I used to go the Whale all the time ….such a great time for Metal ….and here we are older a bit grey but still raising our fists in the air ….goes to show Metal is in your blood or it’s not..

Similar story here except that I saw them at a club called Mickeys in Hammond, IN. Bought this tape and wore it out.

Great memories and I know the Whale remembered fondly by those who were fortunate enough to see shows there. I bet you saw some killer shows back in the day. I love the sound of these early Chicagoland demo bands!

Love the sound of the 80's US power, speed, and thrash metal. Nothing like it!🤘
