Metal from Steel City! Whenever the topic of the Pittsburgh scene comes up, I always comment that a lot of the Eighties are still on back order up there, and this is no exception. Ashes to Ashes reminds me of glam metal, not the silly poof acts that were good for nothing but ballads and ridicule, but the early spirited forms. Long live rock and roll!
