when Giant's first album hit, the superstar morning DJs Mark and Brian at the big LA/socal radio station KLOS fell in love with the band, and "i'm a believer" and "i'll see you in my dreams" became the anthem cruising PCH in all of the major beach cities i frequented (Newport, Huntington, Laguna).
i remember vividly hearing those golden rack tones pouring out of convertibles cranking it in traffic and boom boxes on the sand thinking "i can't believe this shredding guitar with killer tone is pop music right now!" when Southern California was *it* for rock and metal!
