As being one of uncountable bands that faded away after releasing only one album, Weed was formed as a great surprise on its time, once because their members Reinhold Spiegelfeld, Bernd Hohmann and Werner Monka were recent-departed from Virus after recording Revelation album and the recording sessions periods difference of both albums is only practically 2 months, relying on a completely different musical tide. And despite of not being properly credited, Ken Hensley of Uriah Heep was a guest featured seeming like the band's frontman, also taking control of lead vocals. Weed othewise did sound much more like a British strongly blues-driven hard rock band with progressive elements than a German band. They didn't last for over a year together, but left as legacy an interesting album.
line-up:
Ken Hensley (vocals, guitar, keyboards) Reinhold Spiegelfeld (bass) Bernd Hohmann (flute) Werner Monka (guitar) Rainer Schnelle (keyboards) Peet Becker (drums)
