Heaven followed in the proud tradition of fellow Aussie pub rockers like AC/DC, The Angels & Rose Tattoo when they emerged with this killer single from their debut album "Twilight of Mischief" in 1982. The LP was full of fist pumpin' hard rockin' riffs galore, and the band had an excellent lead guitarist in Kelly & an outstanding hard rock vocalist in Alan Fryer, so big things were expected.

However, in the wake of AC/DC's massive success, the band took off to the US before firmly establishing themselves here, then constant line-up changes impeded their progress in the US, Mind you they developed a loyal following through constant touring & went on to issue 4 long players through until 1985. But for a short while there in 81/82, they were my fave live Aussie band


 

The Jackson Kelly or KE is a heavily modified version of the Gibson Explorer produced by Jackson Guitars. The guitar has been in production since the early 1980s, and is available in several different formats. It was heavily popularized in the early to mid 1990s due to its use by the guitarist Marty Friedman of Megadeth.

It was designed by and named after Bradford Kelly, guitarist for Australian heavy metal band Heaven in the early '80s. It was later more popularized by Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman who had his own signature model at the time.
