Gordon Sinclair (Medusa Touch): "I want to play metal for as long as i can"



Scotland’s Medusa Touch is another NWOBHM band I wasn’t aware of until recently. But Internet can be a big help in terms of discovering new names and thanks to Strappado’s Heavy Metal Rarities Forum I finally got a chance to listen to the band’s music. So I contacted Gordon “Gogsy” Sinclair and here we are talking about what it was like to be a heavy metal band in Edinburgh in the late 70’s — mid 80’s.

Andy Makin (ex-Psycho Motel): "What we did was pretty different for 1997!"



Well, I know that Psycho Motel isn't NWOBHM, but it's still good and interesting music and  the band has some connection to the movement due to Adrian Smith. Adrian has been my favorite person from Iron Maiden and I was always interested in what he did during his solo career. And thanks to Andy Makin who kindly agreed to answer my questions we have a chance to give the album "Welcome To The World" another spin and learn more about it.
