Well the last stream I never had the chance to comment. this time around:

Well the second song I definitely know, but it has been long enough since last hearing it I cannot ID. French band, or possibly Belgian.

Oui. Your 1st instinct was correct.
My command of French isn't good enough to offer you any hints unfortunately.

The first song is from Rose Tattoo of course. Somewhere in the middle i heard Alice in Chains.
For both i do not know the name of the song, sorry.

[Khnud]

The one with the weird piano is HEAD EAST - Trouble.
Is that a Hungarian band right after? I don't speak a word of Hungarian, but I think I recognise the language.
After the intermission - SKULL FIST - Surrender.
Next is PIPER - Can't Live With Ya.
Also: 1994 - Shoot To Kill.
Next is THRILL - Rock N Roll Love Affair.

I'd really like to know what that song about "Playing With The Fire" is.

[Noisenik]

The Intermission song is

GARBAGE - Sleep

[bigfootkit]

Sterling detective work gentlemen.
Impressed that you spotted Thrill in there Khnud, i didn't think anyone would get that one. I really like the Detroit-influenced sound of that one.
The "Hungarian"-sounding band you referenced were actually from closer to your general part of the world.

I'd really like to know what that song about "Playing With The Fire" is.

I thought that one might grab you.

This one wasn't that hard for me actually. I've owned a copy for years, and I like it a lot.

Their sound reminds me of Ron Asheton's post-Stooges band The New Order.

Interesting! The only reason I haven't reviewed THRILL yet is because the intro riff sounds exactly like another song I know about. But I can't for the life of me figure out which one. Sadly The New Order wasn't the one I was looking for, but still quite accurate.

Could that soundalike intro riff perhaps belong to the Dead Boys 'Not Anymore'?

[Noisenik]

'kit, is Playing with the Fire track by WHITE BOY AND THE AVERAGE RAT BAND?

Nope, but that's a good little record.

[bigfootkit]

Is it time for me to reveal the remainder yet?
