 Wrathchild bassist Marc Angel has spent most of his adult life trying to reach the rock star promised land, but has never quite made it. So when we asked him for his very own Gig From Hell story did he tell us bullshit tales about missed limos, famous groupies and stints in rehab? Nah, this down to earth rock 'n' roller simply gave us a shocking vision of what happens when you got a little too close to Blackie Lawless, and the physical risks you run trying to be Gene Simmons when playing a club 'Oop North.

 Sixteen years ago next month, Über Röck's very own Johnny H and Russ P were bandmates getting kicked off a pretty high profile support slot for the sake of "irony". Sounds a bit Spinal Tap if you ask us, but then again they both promised us a book's worth of Gigs From Hell and the first one comes from another of their former band mates...!!!!!!

Just click the link to find out why it isn't always as easy as you might think bringing Lightning To The Nations.

 With the announcement of their support slot on the Winter UK tour from Motorhead, what better time to finally get Anti-Nowhere League frontman Animal to entertain us with an entry into our Gigs From Hell archive?! But wait, what did our man Matt Phelps discover when he asked the legendary punk frontman if he'd ever realised that Hell is gig-shaped? A school visit from Hell? This has to be read to be believed.....

 When Dave Prince told us that he'd got Teenage Casket Company frontman Rob Wylde to write a Gig From Hell article for us we never imagined that it would suddenly turn into the final (?) collaboration between him and former TCC member Jamie Delerict who, when hearing that his actions would feature heavily, felt like he had to add his side of the story.........and what a story!

 Bringing to conclusion this week's short series of gigs everyone wishes that they had been at are Mark Alberici and Marco Argiro from Anglo/American rockers The Killing Floor. If tales of men exposing themselves and broken guitar strings make your blood run cold then you really must be at a Gig From Hell.

 Having gone loco on stages as a solo artist and as frontman of a couple of little-known bands called Iron Maiden and Wolfsbane, you'd think that Blaze Bayley has had his share of hellish gig experiences.....and you'd be right in thinking that!!!!

Hell's Gigs
Hell ain't a bad place to be if you're the frontman of a legendary horror metal band...or so you'd think. Bill Lindsey of old school ghoul rockers Impaler, enemy of Tipper Gore and the PMRC and featured in classic '80s movie Trick Or Treat, found out that Hell can be gig shaped when his band headed to a show in Detroit (Shock) Rock City.....
