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.....

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.

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!

When you're the guitarist in one of the most influential NWOBHM bands of all time, playing to thousands of people every night, you'd pretty much expect things to run like clockwork both on and off the stage wouldn't you? Well think again Uber Rockers as Brian Tatler of Diamond Head reveals not one, but two, tales of touring terror. Just click the link to find out why it isn't always as easy as you might think bringing Lightning To The Nations.

'Hotwaterburnbaby', last year's ass-kicker of an album by the Minneapolis monster squad otherwise known as MOMMY S3Z NO, certainly got the horns flying here at ÜRHQ. Frontman Jeff Arndt digs up a ghoulish Gig From Hell to add to our collection of terror tales...
