Helix is one FUN band (and a life-long favorite of mine) from the 80′s era and I knew I would miss some Canadian Rock Heroes with my intro… it’s inevitable! AHHH!

Are there any RUSH songs or albums that you do like? RUSH are such unique and gifted musicians… I’ve grown to love that band all the more as years have passed!

If I was asked to name Canadian rock heroes, before any of the others you wrote in the first paragraph, I would have said:
KiLLeR DWaRfs,
and
Helix

(Don’t really care for Rush)

Thanks for the cool input 80′s Metal Man… it’s fabulous knowing you have supported Killer Dwarfs throughout your Metal life! Great “live” memory you’ve shared. \m/\m/

Thanks for that great interview with Russ, Stone! And, oh yeah, I get him totally about getting out and doing it live. I think musicians of our era really have that goin’ on – we know how to do that, it’s in our blood, modern bands in general don’t have those skills, partly due to a lot of venue closures due to the economic squeeze so less places to play….but one area of music where bands still need those chops is METAL, and the metal bands new and old, can really throw down – it’s why I love the genre so much, man! There is no hiding place on a metal stage, the fans know if you mean it or not, so you’d better mean it!
Looking forward to hearing “Wireless”, Russ! \m/

I have always been a big fan of the Killer Dwarfs and converted many friends both British and American to them. I had the pleasure of seeing them open for Iron Maiden in London back in 1988 and it was killer, pardon the pun. I loved it when Russ came out riding a kiddies bike during “Keep the Spirit Alive.” Still I always thought they should have been even more successful.
Great interview, glad to see Russ is doing well.
