Not having seen a photo of this outfit yet, I can\u2019t say whether they look like dicks or look the part? However, I have seen a photo of their \u2018sex girl\u2019 they use at live shows and she looks pretty horny stuff&#8230; but then I\u2019m bound to say that what with my reputation as resident sexpert on <em>Metal Forces<\/em>! Ha! Ha!<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, Axe Hero sound okay, but, as with most Italian bands, are let down by some rather poor vocals; in this instance Mirko DeFox is the culprit. Their sound is much more metal than glam is usually, with \u2018It\u2019s Rock (Against All)\u2019 being in the Trouble \/ Judas Priest mould.<\/p>\n<p>The production\u2019s not bad and brings out the best in the rhythm section of Cesco Evil Sex (bass) and David Johansen (drums, and obviously a New York Dolls fan!), and the guitarists Dave Moby and Martin Martin can play a bit, but this is not what shock-rock is all about and the other two tracks (\u2018I\u2019ll Fly\u2019 and \u2018Violence Of Pleasure\u2019) just bored me shitless!<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, the live show is outrageous and for adults only; probably like S.A.D.O. I wouldn\u2019t mind seeing photographic evidence, because with shock-rock such as this they must have a good gimmick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave Reynolds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>Review taken from Metal Forces, Issue 17 (1986)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AXE HERO It\u2019s Rock (Against All) (1985) Shock-rock Italian style.
