Formed in heavy metal's birth-city of Birmingham, England, Marshall Law arrived at a time -- the recent 1980's -- when pure, unadulterated big metal had interpreted a noticeable back seat to more than extreme genres like toss and the yin to its yang, glam. Founding members, singer Andy Pyke (ex-Damien) and guitarist Dave Martin (ex-Shadowlands) were both veterans of the local saloon picture, and aboard bit guitarist Andy Southwell, bassist Malcolm Gould and drummer Mick Donovan, they cursorily set about shopping their 1988 "Future Shock" demonstration to record companies. FM Revolver finally snapped them up and 1990 adage the acquittance of Marshall Law's eponymous debut, soon to be followed by 1991's Power Crazy E.P., featuring a newfangled musical rhythm section in bassist Roger Davis and drummer Lee Morris. Both releases boasted a traditional metal sound that earned the radical a rather unfair reputation as Judas Priest clones (the similarities existed, but were scarcely overpowering), and 1993's sophomore full-length, Powergame, although better and more than diversified, was sadly ineffectual to dispel these allegations. None of it seemed to matter when Marshall Law deep in thought their record deal the following class, however, and by September 1992, they had performed their leave show and formally disbanded. But they rebounded in 1996 with a new contract courtesy of indie alloy stalwart Neat Records, which signaled Marshall Law's return with a long-shelved live album that they named Law in the Raw. The next year's Metal Detector adage drummer Lee Morris, wHO had already moved onto join doomsters Paradise Lost, replaced by a metal drum political machine (covertly named Glen Viner by the band), simply an actual living human, Chris Green, was present behind the kit for 1999's Warning from History. Arguably Marshall Law's to the highest degree successful composition yet, the album benefited from client appearances by other Grim Reaper vocalist Steve Grimmett and Magnum guitar player Tony Clarkin, and lED to tours of Europe and South America. But little has been heard from the isthmus since, with its members involving themselves with diverse projects while still heavy a Marshall Law reunification at some tip down the assembly line.

Amy Winehouse - Winehouse Slams Bond Bosses For Song Delay

Troubled singer AMY WINEHOUSE has hit out at movie bosses behind forthcoming JAMES BOND film QUANTUM OF SOLACE - for taking too long to decide whether to use one of her songs as the theme tune.

The Back To Black hitmaker recently confirmed she has been working on a possible title track for the 007 picture and is just waiting for film chiefs to give her offerings the green light.

But the star admits she is frustrated that they are taking so long to give her an answer.

She says, "I've done loads of Bond songs, there are loads of good ones I'm really happy with.

"I don't know what is wrong with them or what the problem is, to be honest. It's there, ready and done, and it's up to them if they want it or not."

Yoko Ono sues to remove John Lennon song from film

Yoko Ono has sued makers of a film about intelligent design to keep them from using John Lennon's song 'Imagine' in it.

Ono contends that the makers of 'Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed' did not ask for her permission to use her late husband's famous song, and have thereby infringed on the song's copyright.

The filmmakers admitted they did not ask Ono for permission, but argue they are protected by the "fair use" doctrine, which permits small parts of a copyrighted work to be used without an author's permission under certain circumstances, reports the Associated Press.

The filmmakers' lawyer, Anthony T Falzone, argued their case in US District Court in Manhattan this week. He said that if the judge grants Ono's request, it would "muzzle" his clients' right to freedom of speech.

The film itself supports the intelligent design theory, and reportedly argues against the lyrics in Lennon's song: "nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too".

Ono has said that she is not asking that the film be removed from theatres, simply that the song be removed from the film.

"One of the most basic rights I control by reviewing and choosing licenses is the right to say 'no'," she said. "The filmmakers simply looted me of the ability to do so."

The film, starring Ben Stein, was released in the US in April and is due to come out in Canada on June 6.
