Finally that has happened! An interview with the band that recorded the song "Axe Crazy" is posted in the blog called Axe Crazy! Yes, right, Jaguar. They helped to shape speed and thrash metal along with Raven and Venom. Their "Power Games" was a brilliant debut and the future seemed so bright. What could go wrong? I'm sure you know the story. The second LP "This Time" was mellower and AOR-ish than its predicessor. The press slammed it. The fans wondered where the aggression and sheer power disappeared. That was a disaster. The history of Jaguar is quite well documented, but usually it's Garry Pepperd, the guitarist, who does interviews (read a good one about the early days of Jaguar here). I decided to get in touch with the bass player Jeff Cox, who also was there from the day one, helped to bring the band back on track in 1998 and then stepped out.
