Description

The style of UK-born guitarist/producer Robin George, despite his geographical origins, is pure US AOR. George began his career with his band Life, who released one single, ‘Too Late’. The line-up also included Dave Holland (later of Judas Priest) and Mark Stanway (later of Magnum). He then played guitar in the Byron Band, fronted by one-time Uriah Heep vocalist David Byron. His fine guitar work can be heard to good effect on their debut album, On The Rocks (Creole Records), in 1981, though after a year with them he left to pursue a solo career. He first signed to Arista Records in 1983, cementing the relationship with the release of a single, ‘Go Down Fighting’, the melodic guitar work of which quickly brought attention and a reputation as the UK’s answer to Billy Squier. Despite this, Arista dropped him and he went on to work in a production capacity with Heavy Metal Records, helping various acts including Wrathchild (UK). In 1984 Bronze Records signed him, and the release of ‘Heartline’ preceded his first full album, Dangerous Music – both releases were noted for their pristine production and the bass work of Pino Pallidino (Paul Young Band). After that there are many that say that Robin George is one of the most unluckiest men in rock (and talented). On a number of occasions, like when Bronze records went bust just as his career was about to go stratospheric in the mid eighties or when Phil Lynott sadly died just as he had secured the job as Thin Lizzy’s new second guitarist, fate has stuck two fingers up at the man. Not that he lingers on these cruel turns of event. He’s been too busy working over the years producing – Diamond Head, Glenn Hughes, and a number of other notables have benefited from his studio acumen – writing for the likes of Glenn Hughes, Robert Plant and many others and playing in Magnum and Asia. In the 90s he also had the Notorious band together with ex-Diamond Head vocalist Sean Harris. In 2001 Robin Geroge finally started releasing solo albums again and his 2002 album ‘Bluesongs’ proofs that Robin George is still a force to be reckoned with when it comes to melodic rock
