Episode #173 - Axe Crazy

Back in 2014, Night Demon recorded a cover version of the NWOBHM
classic "Axe Crazy," by the band Jaguar.  This week's
episode takes a deep dive into that song.  Jaguar guitarist
and founding member Garry Pepperd chronicles the formation of the
band and explains how "Axe Crazy" came about and why it was
released as a single rather than on a proper album.  The
Night Demon band members describe how they came to be aware of
Jaguar and "Axe Crazy," and talk about their reasons for
recording it and how it became a staple in their live set for
several years.  You will also hear from Jarvis and Garry
about the brief period when Jarvis became the lead vocalist for
Jaguar, and the handful of shows he performed with them. 
The guys reflect on the enduring appeal of the song and the
reasons why it will never truly be retired from the Night Demon
set.
