Soundboard Recording
Quote:
Steeler was an early 1980s heavy metal band born from two Nashville heavy metal bands 'Sniper' and 'Lust' which started with members Ron Keel on vocals and guitar, Michael Dunigan on lead guitar, Bobby Eva on drums and Tim Morrison on bass. They released a 45rpm vinyl single called 'Cold Day in Hell' and the B-side had the song 'Take Her Down'.
Eva left the band after a short while and was replaced by drummer Mark Edwards. This new line-up did not last long and released no albums or singles.
Soon, Dunigan and Morrison left Steeler and were replaced by Brian OConnor on bass and an 18 year old Swedish guitarist, Yngwie Malmsteen. The new line-up released the band's first album, Steeler, it saw moderate commercial success and is now a sought after album for many fans of Malmsteen and Keel.
The final line-up of Steeler saw the departure of Malmsteen, Fox and Edwards who were all replaced by Kurt Jaymes on lead guitar, Greg Chaisson on bass and Bobby Marks on drums. This line-up also released no albums or singles. Due to constant change in band members, Steeler never got the major record label it required and Keel decided to split up the band and start a new project.
During Steeler's short time in the world of Heavy Metal, the band became quite popular in LA and even performed to some sold out venues.
Long after the split of the band, Keel felt it was appropriate to produce a compilation album with songs from the single, album, live show bootlegs and unreleased tracks. This album was released in 2005 and was titled 'Metal Generation: The Steeler Anthology.'
Anyone out there remember the intro to that great radio show that was "The Metal Shop" ... as a teenager we used t go to Cucko's house and wait for that intro!
