If you say Holland and the first Dutch metal band, which image comes to mind then? Right! We’re talking about Picture! And they’re back stronger and more motivated than ever!
Back in 1979 the story of Picture began – it was the very first Dutch hardrock band with a “record deal”. With a history of 7 released albums world-wide and extensive tours throughout Europe with a.o. AC/DC, Saxon, Ted Nugent, Rose Tattoo and April Wine. Classic songs like Heavy Metal Ears, Diamond dreamer, Bombers and Eternal Dark (covered later by Swedish metal giants Hammerfall) and highly energetic live performances made Picture a very successful band. Picture paved the way for all other successful Dutch hardrock bands that followed in their footsteps soon afterwards.
Picture released Live – 40 Years Heavy Metal Ears, 1978 – 2018 this year, with a huge tour and a brand new album in the making scheduled for 2019.
Stay tuned as this week’s Guest DJ is Picture‘s Jan Bechtum to present to you 10 of the band’s favorite tracks.
Tune in at 15:00 and 21:00 CET/ 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. EST this Friday to hear the show!
