THUNDERSTICK - Echoes from the Analogue Asylum CD

For those who may not be familiar with the infamous Barry ‘Thunderstick' Graham he played a leading role in the infancy of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the late 1970s. After a brief stint in Iron Maiden, Barry traded spots with drummer Clive Burr to set on the throne behind scene forerunners Samson. There Barry further evolved the maniacal persona known as Thunderstick. The hooded, s&m garb clad wild man caged with his drum kit caught the imagination of the press making Thunderstick a figurehead of the fledgling movement. After three albums and a number of singles with Samson, Thunderstick would break out of his cage in search of his own vision.
