At long last, here is the final video from the LONG 6 hour mode VHS tape full of local bands from ken Doose’s collection. This is another set of 3FF from Daddy O’s. I checked around and I don’t see this one posted anywhere.
The band features Cory Wiegert, who went on to perform in many bands including current band The Blessing!

I have a glut of video to post, so you get video on a Friday. Here’s something you will either find totally boring or totally fascinating. I had this idea to get some studio footage and use it for a promo video (kind of like Iron Maiden’s Flight of Icarus promo) but it never went anywhere. Guitars and drums were tracked in the same room- crazy. Inner ear studio was a little garage studio in the suburbs. I wish I remembered where it was exactly. I think it is in between San Juan ave and Mariposa somewhere. It’s all a blur. My favorite part is when Parisi needs to duct tape the headphones to his head to keep them from falling off. Pure gold!

So, back in 1983, Motley Crue blessed our humble little Record Factory (the one by Sunrise Mall, now a Nation’s Hamburgers) with their presence. My cousin Tony Schwartz & I worked with the guys at Record Factory to bring in my uncle’s video camera (one of the ones that had the camera & the VCR to record as separate components, and made people see-thru when they moved) to film the signing. This is the lowest gen available- the master was lost.
Highlights:
– Seeing the inside of record factory. I bought so many metal records there in the early 80s.
– Seeing the crowd. it looks like heavy metal parking lot in here.
– seeing the first guy in line (with his crue gloves) being impossibly stoked at meeting the band
and… getting shut down by the band’s management. Oh well, it would have been boring to watch them sign autographs for an hour.
Recorded by: Bill Schwartz, Tony Schwartz, Shayne Stacy
Equipment Used: Ancient video camera.
PS: I tried posting this the other day and it was blocked because it had Motley Crue’s music on the video. I jumped through Youtube’s “music removal tool” hoops, waited, and it was still blocked. So I thought I’d do something fun. Instead of listen to The Crue wank away, I curated an audio track of some of my favorite underground metal that was released in 1983.
The audio soundtrack is:
1. Loudness- In the Mirror
2. Exciter- Heavy Metal Maniac
3. Jag Panzer- Battle Zones
4. Savatage- Sirens (cut).
Enjoy.
