Lion was an American rock band, best known for the theme song from the 1986 animated movie ''The Transformers: The Movie''. A hard rock quartet, Lion (originally Lyon) were formed in Los Angeles in 1983 after ex-Tytan vocalist Kal Swan (born Norman Swan) and former Lone Star guitarist Tony Smith relocated from Great Britain and teamed up with bassist Alex Campbell and drummer Mark Edwards, who had been in Steeler alongside Yngwie Malmsteen, and Third Stage Alert. After beginning work on a demo, Swan and Edwards recruited guitarist Doug Aldrich and bassist Jerry Best (both of whom had previously recorded with the band Mansfield) to complete the Lion line-up. In 1984 the group made its debut with "Love Is A Lie", a song on the ''Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter'' soundtrack. In 1985, Lion returned with ''Power Love'', a six-song EP released only in Japan. It was re-issued on CD in 1992 along with Mark Edwards' 1985 ''Code of Honor'' solo EP. After recording the title for the ''Transformers'' animated film, they signed to Scotti Brothers and released their first full-length album, 1987's ''Dangerous Attraction''. Their next record, ''Trouble in Angel City'', was released on the Grand Slamm label in 1989. It contained re-recordings of the ''Power Love'' EP songs, a cover of the Slade song "Lock Up Your Daughters", and several new tracks. In September of that year, Edwards suffered a broken neck after falling off a cliff while competing in a motorcycle race. Lion disbanded a month later, with Swan and Aldrich later teaming up in Bad Moon Rising along with former Hericane Alice members Jackie Ramos and Ian Mayo. Aldrich also recorded with Hurricane, House of Lords, Burning Rain, Dio and Whitesnake. Jerry Best would later re-appear in Freak Of Nature, featuring former White Lion vocalist Mike Tramp; he also briefly toured with Dio in the late 1990s. ==Timeline== ImageSize = width:900 height:auto barincrement:20 PlotArea = left:80 bottom:60 top:10 right:10 Alignbars = justify DateFormat = dd/mm/yyyy Period = from:01/01/1983 till:31/12/1989 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal format:yyyy Legend = orientation:horizontal position:bottom ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:2 start:1983 ScaleMinor = unit:year increment:2 start:1987 Colors = id:vocals value:red legend:Vocals id:guitar value:green legend:Guitar id:bass value:blue legend:Bass id:drums value:orange legend:Drums id:Lines value:black legend:Studio_Albums id:Lines2 value:gray(0.85) legend:Other_Releases BarData = bar:Kal text:Kal Swan bar:Tony text:Tony Smith bar:Doug text:Doug Aldrich bar:Alex text:Alex Campbell bar:Jerry text:Jerry Best bar:Mark text:Mark Edwards PlotData= width:10 textcolor:black align:left anchor:from shift:(10,-4) bar:Kal from:01/01/1983 till:end color:vocals bar:Tony from:01/01/1983 till:31/01/1984 color:guitar bar:Doug from:01/02/1984 till:end color:guitar bar:Alex from:01/01/1983 till:31/01/1984 color:bass bar:Jerry from:01/02/1984 till:end color:bass bar:Mark from:01/01/1983 till:end color:drums LineData = at:21/07/1987 color:black layer:back at:11/08/1989 color:black layer:back at:21/07/1985 Color:Lines2 layer:back 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lion (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
