Um… no, Teenage Kicks! (Dammit, I didn’t ’play’ the video, just saw the TK graphic!)🙄 That's the sleeve of the ep, which includes True Confessions as one of the 4 tracks along with Teenage Kicks. Your inadvertently misdirected comment is entirely correct with regard to Teenage Kicks, of course.

yep, one of the best songs ever! True Confessions? I like it, but it's not spectacularly outstanding It's the "picture from your sister part makes me smile, typical teenage stuff".

I was a bit of a Priest fan, but that gig wasn't their best IMHO, a bit meh. I did see them again on the British Steel tour and later on the Painkiller tour, but by that point, "Heavy Metal" and me had taken different routes, so from around the late '80's I never went to the Maiden, Saxon, Priest, Crue et al tours again. I can still enjoy some songs but I can't even take an albums worth these days. For me it was Faith No More, Tad, Masters Of Reality, King's X then on to Warrior Soul, Soundgarden and Screaming Trees. Yeah, I'm the same. Metal mad (probably before it was called metal!) and then suddenly I wasn't I would say it's because, frankly, it became pretty crap as the 80's progressed Bang on with this, my tastes may have evolved but they kept their roots, hence why I can listen to what I listened to back in the 70's, but by '82 I was really struggling with the same bands. AC/DC, Priest, Maiden, Saxon just left me tepid. Even the really good bands were struggling, for example Quo and UFO were not producing Quo and UFO type music.

Studs, horns, demons, evil, bed pythons, a bloke dressed as a schoolboy (Have a real good think about that one, a grown man dressed as a schoolboy) motor bikes and really silly clothing. I could wear Levi's and trainers all day long but 'knob reveal trousers' were not for me. "Got gleaming chrome, reflecting steel, loaded, loaded Ready to take on every deal, loaded, loaded" My pulse is racing, I'm hot to take This motor's revved up, fit to break" A song about a possible MOT failure? Bet he only had a provisional license.

Great gig review. I would have loved to have been there and also at the Cardiff Castle gig. Well written by as previously mentioned by John Shearlaw, who wrote the Quo bible, The Authorised Status Quo Biography in 1979.
