Mental as Anything were always special to me for one simple reason. Years ago I bought a guitar from Peter O’Doherty. Peter is the bass player of the Mentals. At the time that I bought that guitar from him he was playing lead guitar in a High School band that a mate of mine played in.
Mental as Anything had not formed at that stage. Peter O’Doherty’s big brother is “Reg Mombassa” Reg is his stage name.
The Mentals became famous as a pub pop rock band with lots of good times. I only saw them once in Sydney at somewhere like the Enmore Theatre. A good gig.
Some of their zany songs included. “If you leave me can I come too” “the nips are getting bigger” amongst others. Mental as Anything are a great Aussie Rock band of the 80’s and 90’s
Nowadays Pete and Reg perform as Dog Trumpet.

When they told us back in 1974 that the band coming to our school dance was a band called AC/DC we had no idea what we were about to experience. The beginning of one of the all time great Rock bands. The beginning of one of the great Heavy Metal guitarists career. We had no idea that this is what we were seeing! 35 years later people are in awe when I tell them about seeing ACDC in concert at our school dance.
AC/DC rocked us and rolled us. Angus Young wore his shorts and school uniform and Bon Scott was the lead singer. What a night at the Avalon Community center in Sydney Australia. This was the only time that I ever saw ACDC I was about 16 years old and it was 1974 at my school dance.( Actually the S.A.P.A dance for the Students Association of the Pittwater Area)
AC/DC is touring right now with their BlackIce tour. Visit their website www.ACDC.com to find out details. Here are some reviews of the AC/DC gigs

It seems like a lifetime ago that we all headed out to the Sydney showground to see KISS live. I have no memory of who the support band was but I do remember being disappointed when the soundcheck track of Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin was cut short for KISS to come onstage. Oh well.
The KISS gig was good. As expected with lots of glitz and glam and Rock’n'Roll. Main memory was ACE shooting his guitar rocket or fireworks high into the air.
A great gig. And they are still doing it. What a great band.
