  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn August 9, 1986, British rock band GTR performed "When The Heart Rules The Mind" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand...
    At the time the song was at #50 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; four weeks earlier it had peaked at #14 {for 2 weeks} and it spent 16 weeks on the Top 100...
    It reached #3 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart...
    And on the same 'Bandstand' show the quintet also performed their only other Top 100 record, "The Hunter", it peaked at #85 on the chart.
  • David from Hazlet, NjI saw the old VH special on GTR and it seemed like Steve Hackett was so miserable in the video. I think that,he joined this band as he saw the success of Genesis{and this was before Invisible Touch} (a band he used to be with) and I am sure it ate at him. He later said that "GTR was a good, or fun thing for five minutes and then it wasn't fun anymore." Besides Hackett's apathy, Steve Howe, just like in Yes and Asia, was awesome on the album and the vocals of Max Bacon are very good.
  • Sam from Cairo, Egyptbest of the 80's on the teen disco age ever.
