Hey , Darren , We still say "You're a gas" or "It's a gas" , meaning something good....Tho' not many of us say it , anymore. There was an article , though this was 25+ years ago , about how US slang has gone down the tubes , and would do well to take a tip from The UK. Of course , American slang is even WORSE , today.
Yes , you gotta have "Roman Gods " and "Hexbreaker", and I'm still a fool for "Up Front'' , though not many people , including the band themselves , seem to like it. I have'nt disliked any of their albums , though some were more consistent...They've had peaks and valleys like any REAL band . The "Living Legends" comp , which only came out on CD and Cassette, and very briefly , on IRS , is a must - have , too , if you can find it. Highlights from the first two LPs , early singles , EPs , and an unreleased track or two.
They are a dish best served , live , though their recorded output demands an earful , too.
As I say , this is real life , this is not a test. It's not too late to have ''Intoxication of The Fleshtones".
