Divine Right was a progressive rock band, kind of a mix between Rush, Metallic & U2! Progressive but melodic!. We played allot of venues and had a real nice 5 song Demo called "Humble Beginnings". We shopped it to many A&R guys but they were still looking for "pretty boy" glam rock bands back then. As usual, after 5 years of trying to get signed, we got frustrated without anybody getting back to us, so we decided to call it quits. 6 months later both Brian & Dave moved up to Boston and went to Berkley to create the Band "BIG WRECK". They were signed by Atlantic, put out 2 albums and did allot of touring up in Canada as that was were they were really popular. After the 2nd album and not much "backing" here in the states, Atlantic dropped them and they broke up.

I still keep in touch with Brian the guitarist who now lives in Canada and Jim the singer who still lives here in New York. Give a listen and tell me what you think. The songs are hosted at a site that is dedicated to Ian Thornley who after leaving Big Wreck, was signed again and is putting out his 2nd album soon.

If that was the case, the dude who signed Dee Snyder and Twisted Sister must have been blind. Grin

Sounds good, Dave. Shame you never made it. You were on drums, right?

I know. I do not think you can. I should check with Pete and see if he would let me upload the file to Simv!

I like the live version even better than the demo, but did you really play for such a crowd? Sounds like a festival or something...

Just download Audacity and record it off your sound card. Slow, but effective! Grin

And, uh, be sure to send Dave a check... *cough* Grin

Show biz is a b*tch, ain't it, Dave? Sometimes I'm glad I gave up before I invested too much in it. The best memories I have of playing drums for twenty years are of playing at parties or jamming in rehearsal... the rest of it is like a job or something! Grin

Especially for us drummers... schelpping all that stuff around (in ddition to the PA and back line)... and by the tme you're done packing the kit away after your set, all the pretty girls at the bar are taken! Roll Eyes

You guys were great, but I'm reminded of something an A&R guy told me in the late 80s: every morning, he'd find a big pile of demo tapes on his desk.

First thing he'd do is throw half of them in the trash...with a sweep of his arm; just like that. There just wasn't time to listen to them all, and so many of them, he knew without hearing them all, totally sucked. All that time and money, all the elaborate cassette cover artwork... Cry

Then he'd listen to the first 30 seconds or so of each "survivor", and if it didn't totally grab him, he'd toss it.

It's different now, of course, but there's such a glut of music these days, it's even harder, in a way, to rise above the pack.
