    I'll start
    
    I think KEEL is a good metal band and I love Ron's four octave(so
    he says)screach I saw them at the Paradise and was impressed with
    them as a party get the crowd moving and buying drinks band,also
    Ron was funny sleasy and just made everyone have a good time but
    as far as there music I like
    
    The Right To Rock 
    It's a jungle out there 
    Rock n roll animal
    sombodys waiting
    cherry lane 
    princess of Illusion
    united nations 
    I said the wrong thing to the right girl
    
    I don't know about musicianship but i like the music they are a
    band that should get more recognition than they have.

    	KEEL...
    
    	A band I have never heard of... therefore they can't be
    	any good.  ;^)

        Greg - good review.  Shows alot of thought. 8^)
    
        Keel is OK - I have 'The Right to Rock' on tape, which
        was copied from a friend's record.  The only problem is
        that 'The Right to Rock' is the only Keel song I know.
    
        Well, take that back - they covered 'Because the Night',
        I believe - and that sounded fairly good.
    
        Ron has a good vocal range - has no problem hitting the
        high notes.

                I used  to  really like Keel.  My favorite albums
                were The Final  Frontier  and  Right  to Rock (of
                course),    but  the  latest    was    kind    of
                disappointing.  If you want  to  talk  Keel, then
                you have to talk Steeler.  Now *THAT* was a band!
                Yngwie  and  Ron together.  One  of  my  favorite
                albums.

A quick Keel story for you:

  A few years ago I was the manager of the Strawberries Records in Boston
(Downtown Crossing). I was asked to run the record store at the annual 
rock and roll convention that is held at the Bayside Expo every year by 
WBCN.

  Anyways, a lot of bands were doing in-store appearances to sign autographs,
and Keel was one of them. The way it worked is this - 

a.) the customer would come in and get in line
b.) he would take an album from a pile on the table, and have the
    band sign it
c.) then take the album to the register and pay for it

  Well, a problem arose when a Keel fan brought in his own album which he
already owned and had it signed. Then after going through the line, the
cashier tried to charge him for it (not really the cashiers fault - 
someone should have checked when the kid first came in). Anyways, a big
arguement started between the kid, and my District Manager, who said the
kid was trying to rip off the store.

  Suudenly, from behind the table, Ron Keel jumps up, pulls out a $10 bill,
and states: "Any fan of mine is worth $10 to me. *I'll* pay for the
f***ing album!" And he did!

  Ever since then I have had a great respect for Ron Keel.

    Wow!  That earns my respect too!  I think I'll go get some of their
    stuff.  I like to listen to people that have good attitudes!
      
    In light of this, how many albums do they have and which do you
    recommend?  I've heard good things about their music before.

        I got 'The Final Frontier' yesterday for $1.99 at Caldor's
        in RI ... pretty good, huh?
    
        Haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but so far it
        sounds good.

    	I don't know if this band has come to an end, but guitarist
         Marc Ferrari is now forming his own band "Ferrari". Mark is
    	a Mass. local isn't he??

    
    Yup, he's one of us Mass people.
    
    Good ole' Shu.
    
    I lied Keel but they should have got rid of Ron Keel and his lousy
    screachy voice.  Well, then I guess it wouldn't have been Keel
    then.

    	I've heard the "Final Frontier" and "Keel".  Final Frontier was
    produced by Gene Simmons (I think).  Keel was a really good album.  It
    was a lot better than the new stuff coming out today.  That was from
    1987 I think.  A definite addition to any hard rock collectors
    collection.  
    	It was balsy, and fast paced.  A really good album.

    	That's not "Mass people".  As one who lives in Mass (not proud of
    it), we're Massholes. :-)
    

    Here's some dirt on Ex-Keel guitarist Marc Ferrari (I hate that name)
    
    After Keel bit the dust, Marc formed his own band, aptly named Ferrari,
    with singer Oni Logan.  Oni blew him off for the Lynch Mob gig, and 
    word has it that Marc is now just hanging out at the Whiskey or the
    Rainbow, getting drunk and doing nothing!  Hey Marc, how bout:
    
    - Changing your name back 
    - Move back to Boston
    - Re-form Last Child
    - Play gigs at the Jumbo Lounge!
    
    That's this editor's comments on the situation!

    Ron Keel is now said to be forming a band, with all female musicians.
    
    He is quoted as saying :-
    
    "Most female bands don't have any balls, but this one does - MINE!!".

    I heard one of the KEEL albums when I was on holiday - slow.  That bass
    line isn't to hard to learn is it?!?
    
    Bl**dy aweful.
    
    Flip

      Whee, Flip and I agree on something!  Keel is one of the non-events
    of Rock.  Clones of some sort.

       Marc Ferrari found another singer (can't remember his name) and then
    formed Crying Shame. That name was found out to be copywrited so the
    name was changed to Cold Sweat. They released there debut album about 8
    months ago on MCA. Last I heard they split up resently because MCA
    dropped them. Their other guitarist (Eric Gamans) used to live in
    Bedford NH.
