Music Appreciation

Dust released their first self titled album in 1971. The trio was considered the beginning of heavy metal, their albums now coveted by collectors. It consisted of teenagers Kenny Aaronson on bass, Marc Bell on drums, and Richie Wise on guitar and vocals..

Of the three, Wise moved into record production including working with KISS, among others, producing that band's first two albums. Marc Bell joined several other bands until 1978 when he joined The Ramones as Marky Ramone. Kenny Aaronson joined up with Stories (Louie Louie). Somehow, they all survived.

Marky hosts a current Sirius radio show called "Punk Rock Blitzkrieg". . Aaronson is now a member of The Yardbirds and Bell is a member of The New York Dolls. Richie Wise is still producing, including for movie soundtracks. (Transformers, Eye Of The Tiger etc). Busy hands can also be the devil's playground I guess

I had this album since it was released, but it had an early cover depicting a huge pile of Holocaust skulls. Not many bought the album and were surprised at what they heard. I gave my copy to a dear friend back in the '80s.

I know it's a few minutes, the the flourish at the end makes it worth it.
