Judas Priest & Maiden described as rawk/rock? Pre-cursors to Thrash more
like, hence I'd describe them as Metal.

Whitesnake, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Rainbow, Guns and Roses, Van
Halen, Motley Crue, etc etc, all those that used to fill Kerrangs pages till
tastes changed and they latched onto grunge and indie bands. If they were a
patch on some greasey haired denim or US combat jacket, their "rawk".

I believe Dmitri is decrying the likes of late-80's Whitesnake and the
like. Just a theory.

I listened to the first 5 studio albums today and could not find any
"Rawk" in any of them. Am I missing something while listening to these fine
works? I dont remember Jaz in spandex or Geordie with a V-neck guitar
although I remember Big Paul having a somewhat large drum kit. What "rawk"
bands from the 80's shared the Joke's sound? It seems to me fans who come to
the Joke from a "rawk" background hear something I don't. I once knew an ELO
fan who belived they inspired house music! He was a wrong and so are many of
you IMO.
