This brief but great clip has MuchMusic’s Terry David Mulligan getting Rob Halford to open up about drugs and Judas Priest’s image. TDM hosted a show called MuchWest, but this was aired on the Power Hour. Summer 1986, (presumably from Expo ’86) and Rob’s got a moustache and slick, long hair! Definitely a look that didn’t stick.
This sure does bring back memories.
Below is a MuchMusic bumper and the Pepsi Power Hour intro from 1987. This intro heralded my favourite hour of television every week. The best hours of my life.
Look for two cameos by Master T (Tony Young) before he was the host of Rap City.
The second part of the Vinnie Vincent Invasion interview by Erica Ehm, from MuchMusic’s Pepsi Power Hour, September 1987. Dana, Vinnie and Bobby speak. Mark makes faces.
“Why is there so much heavy metal in L.A.?” is the question.
The one VHS tape I’m working on currently spans a period of recordings from about July 1986 to September 1987. This Hear N’ Aid special features a MuchMusic interview conducted by J.D. (John) Roberts. There’s lots of exclusive information in this valuable video, including a tidbit on bands who refused to be in the same project as Spinal Tap!
I have begun converting my video library to digital! The big challenge is finding all the old tapes. I have no idea where I put the most important ones.
In the meantime, enjoy this brief Vinnie Vincent Invasion interview with Erica Ehm, from MuchMusic’s Pepsi Power Hour, September 1987. Bigger and better stuff will follow if/when I find the tapes.

I like physical product. I hate paying money for “air”. Here is a video about that very subject.
