HONEYMOON SUITE - "LETHAL WEAPON"
Topic: New Chords Postings

In 1987, prior to the recording of  Honeymoon Suite's third album, the band got the call to record the theme song for Lethal Weapon, the now well-known Mel Gibson/Danny Glover action film. "We got the track through our label Warner Brothers in LA at the time," noted guitarist Derry Grehan. "They thought we would be the right band to record the song, and it was also our first chance to work with Ted Templeman." (canadianbands.com) Templeman, noted for his production work with the Doobie Brothers and Van Halen, was subsequently enlisted to produce that next HMS album, Racing After Midnight (1988). "Lethal Weapon" was the closing track on the album. It also appeared on the film's official soundtrack.

The song charted at #54 in Canada, while the album fared considerably better,  reaching the Top 10. Characterized by a harder rocking, more guitar-driven sound than the band's previous releases ("Lethal Weapon" being one of the exceptions), Racing became Honeymoon Suite's third successive platinum album in Canada. However, the US breakthrough that Warner's was hoping for by placing the band on movie soundtracks didn't materialize.

There are a few different edits of this song: one for the film's closing credits, one for the promotional video, and the HMS album version. Transcribed here is the version that's on Racing After Midnight.

TROOPER - "SANTA MARIA"
Topic: New Tab Postings

What better way to celebrate the unofficial beginning of summer in Canada -- the Victoria Day holiday weekend -- than with some good Canadian music? Two For the Show (1976) was Trooper's second album release, and as with their first album, it was produced by Randy Bachman. It gave the band its first gold record, later achieving platinum status in Canada. The album produced two successful singles, in the title track (charting at #1) and "Santa Maria" (Top 5).
Enjoy the long weekend.

STREETHEART
Topic: Riff-In-A-Jiff

Streetheart's 1979 album Under Heaven Over Hell, the band's second release, contains some of their best-known hits. Continuing the success of their debut Meanwhile Back In Paris (1978), UHOH achieved platinum status in Canada.

"Here Comes the Night" was one of three singles drawn from the album (two of which were cover songs). Written in 1964, the song was first a hit for acts such as Lulu (in 1964) and the Van Morrison-fronted Them (in 1965). A number of other performers have also covered it.

The album marked the debut of John Hannah as Streetheart's guitarist (replacing Paul Dean). Tabbed here is Hannah's guitar solo.
