Notes:
– Some might argue that this is a marginal entry. Maybe it is. However, on the other hand, it appears that Jody St. were somehow a bridge between Funk Rock of the 1970s and Funk Metal of the early 1990s. Yet, another dimention of the NWOBHM movement.
– John Mizarolli is a very famous guitar teacher in the UK teaching his own revolutionary improvisation methods.
– Henry Thomas was the bass player on the 1980s BBC show “Rockschool”
