I've had a couple of enquiries as to why isn't there a guestbook on the Hot Rails site - so here you are. Please feel free to your comments - only problem is, you'll have to send them to me by email for now as I've had to suspend the automatic entry page as I was getting upto 40/50 spam entries a day!!. How the flying feck do they do that??!!

I reserve the right to remove the more vitriolic insults unless they're delivered with style and panache - extra points will be available for originality and verve.


Thank you for this site! You've brought back memories for me from as far back as '77 and allowed me to reconnect with friends long lost. Keep up the great work!

Great site and man did i get a trip down memory lane going thru and reading about all the shows. I also just got to listen to the Heaven Forbid album this afternoon and would recommend it to everyone that reads this. I was was a bit suprised at how fresh they sound and was reminded why Buck has always been my fav lead player. Im planning on catching them on july 19th at the grove in Anaheim. Buck Zone here I come... woooohoooooo

What can I say this must be about the best fan site Ive ever seen Hats of to you mate. I was at all the BOC shows in newcastle in the late seventies and when I was younger they were without doubt my top band, Ive just sort of rediscovered them lately as daughter grown up etc Ive actually had time to listen to some stuff. Anyway great great site will be on it loads well done!!! Jeff

Congratulations on a fine piece of work; your web site definitely sets the standards for layout, overall clarity and attention to detail (not to mention the regular updates, a rarity even on so-called 'official' sites). Keep up the good work and 'good health to you'.
Warmest regards,

Hi All
For those in the UK who haven't caught it already, you might be interested in the new BBC1 drama Life On Mars. The reason ? Episode one contained Stairway to the Stars in full during the first episode....

Hi Ralph
I keep coming back to this amazing site to see if Caroline's checked in. No luck to date - but that's the way it goes at these rock 'n' roll shows. Keep up the good work. Regards Steve Franklin

Good to hear the Brain Surgeons are considering coming back later in the year. I really wanted to see them but simply couldn't face going to the hell-hole that is known as London. Please Brain Surgeons, anywhere but London!!!

I first saw BOC in about June 1978. Spectres tour, lasers etc. at the Sheffield City Hall. (Japan supporting) Unfortunately Ralph is unable to list this gig as he is unable to verify it took place.... Can anyone else out there in cyber space shed any light on this 'missing' BOC gig? Or was I actually dreaming...??
