Rage's '81 debut album 'Out Of Control' actually got 5 K's in the mighty Kerrang! magazine. After the next rockin' album 'Nice'n'Dirty' (with now gone rocker Gary Holton's (RIP) Donna, the blonde one on the cover), they returned a bit more to the Nutz kinda music with 'Run For The Night' in '83 (anyone out there got a good rip of that one!!?). Didn't sell much, I think, but I really liked that album as well. The track 'Cry From A Hill' was great! But I remember that was recorded real low and after playing that on a listenable volume these days, I often jumped high playing the next album without adjusting the volume on my stereo back to normal (such as Motorhead's 'Overkill'... usually woke up my neighbours. And me.)
Drummer Mylett tragically died in a car crash later that year (RIP).

Then they disappeared. Untill the singer Dave Lloyd turned up a few years later in the more soft project 2AM. Even that a good album, with good songs. Although far from rocking. Sorry, didn't find the cover on search, and my scanner are not connected right now. I might do a scan later, if there's any interest.

02 - You're The One
03 - Sombody Someday

07 - Running With The Same Old Crowd
08 - Never Feel This Way Again
09 - Dream And Promises
10 - Now You're Leaving

toad the wet sprocket managed 2 singles then faded. Blues in A was a terrible choice for metal for muthas. If they had placed "reach for the sky" on it they may have managed to stick around a bit longer and we may have gotten an LP out of them. Thanks for the Nutz / Rage stuff. you wouldn't happen to have the first Rage album "out of control" would you.
nice blog!
Ooooohhhh Yesss,
Out of control,
that would be great!!!
Memories come in my mind!!!
I tried to find this album everywhere on the I-net, but no success!!
Please can someone upload it???

Hi Guys
I'm a friend of the band and have put a site together for them on MySpace Music;
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=308578957&MyToken=d48937c5-b5f1-4553-8267-4d6ecc112797
They are looking at putting all their albums and a dvd of them at Bingley Hall (with Quo) and on the OGWT.
You can email Keith through this site.
Cheers

After checking your links I have nothing to say but thank you, thank you, thank you! RAGE was such a great band. I have looked for -Nice 'N' Dirty- for a while and finally I have the pleasure of listen "American Radio Stations" once again. I am still looking for "Thank that woman" from -Out of Control-. Any directions to where I can find it?

Nevermind, I just found "Thanks that woman" in your archive (April). That is awesome. Thanks again.

My Dad is Lou Rosenthal, if you fancy putting the years in it's 1952 and still going :P I actually really liked some of exports stuff... And Nutz sounded awesome. John Mylett was a hell of a drummer, he had a 25th anniversary since his death 3 years ago which I got to play guitar at (at the lonley age of 13,) was a night to remember.
I went to see Queen at the Mecca in Sunderland in 1974. The support band was Nutz. It was the first time I'd heard of them and they were brilliant. I remember coming away that night - even though I wasn't that impressed with Queen - thinking I'd just seen two bloody great drummers. I think you'll have to agree with me on that one! Saw them a couple of times after that (supporting Budgie and the Heavy metal kids) and they were much better live than on record, which was a shame. Neil Thompson
Nutz and Rage feature in a new book by Tony Bolland called 'Plug Inn' the forgotten years and a couple of sites www.hesssys.co.uk and www.pluginn.bravehost.com. about the 70's bands and what they done afterwards. John Mylett also has a tribute site on Respectance.com
Hi - I would like to see the 2 AM scan, if you could please. I saw them when they first started performing the songs from this. They were managed by John Arnison, who also managed Marillion. And later I was a student in Liverpool when they used to play in the clubs there.
Its amazing what you can find on the internet. I used to have a cassette called Heavy Metal Thunder and on it was Saxon / Rose Tattoo / Dokken / Demon and Rage (Long Way From Home & Women)
I have been looking for those Rage tracks for ages, I knew the Rage band wasn't the German metal band, but every time i search thats where i ended up. This is great just to find information about the band let alone a link to downloading the tracks. I am well happy. :o)
Hi, I´m from Mexico you were searching from many years ago "Long way from home" of Rage, I have the L.P. Heavy Metal Thunders, I am on the lookout for the great version of the group Spitfire "So you think a rock and roll star", this cover appeared in the L.P. in Mexico, it is a great version, so long and thanks.
Whoa..... What a great post, I really loved this. In fact my dad who is always visiting Viagra Online told me about this page and it's just awesome.
