Velociraptor Jul 2020 10:29am, 22 Jul 2020 47,643 posts	0 Velociraptor In the 1970s some boys in my year at school decided to form a heavy metal band which they called White Dwarf. From what I overheard, a heavy metal band's chances of success were heavily dependent upon having a good logo and it didn't get off the ground because the lead singer could only sing with a broad Scottish accent.

GregP Jul 2020 11:24am, 22 Jul 2020 121,369 posts	0 GregP Fair point. I was very keen on Nazareth back in the day because they had a really funky letter N in their logo* *I might have misremembered this, but it seems a strange thing to imagine.

Most of the same material appeared later on the "Snaz" live album, but the Radio 1 version was from a UK concert rather than Canada as on the album. I saw them at Birmingham Odeon in '84.
