Biography

Lillian Axe is a rock/glam metal band founded in the late 1980’s in New Orleans. The most well-known lineup of the band was Ron Taylor (lead vocals), Steve Blaze (lead guitar), Jon Ster (rhythm guitar), Darrin Delatte (bass), and Gene Barnett (drums).

Poetic Justice was their most successful album, which hit the streets in January of 1992. Fueled by the hit single, “True Believer” and followed by their cover of the Badfinger classic, “No Matter What”, Poetic Justice reached the upper 100 of the Billboard album charts. The bands first album, on MCA Records, was produced by Ratts’s Robbin Crosby in 1988.

The band disbanded in 1995, and re-united in 1999. However, Fall 2004 brought the resignation of vocalist Ron Taylor and the introduction of new vocalist Derrick LeFevre. In May 2006 Darrin DeLatte decided to leave and commit himself full-time to his band Lowside. Replacing him was bassist Eric Morris.

The Axe is working on the upcoming release, “Waters Rising”.

    My favourite as well. Was disapointed at first when hearing the Poetic album, still not very happy with it... thugh learn to appreciate it. Psychoschizophrenia was a welcome release though after the previous one.

    The new album is more than fairly good, I'd say.

    They just don't have music like this anymore. One of the most under-rated bands of the 80s. She Likes It On Top and My Number are some of my favorites.... long live Lillian Axe!!

    had the new album a while now..obv its a bit of a stopgap for something bigger, with the reworkings n all...disappointed as a result. i like 47 ways to die but somethings not right with the band atm, any thoughts anyone? also, is it me, or do all the axe singers sound pretty similar..if you hear jonny vines, ron taylor, derek or ronny they all sing in a similar vein. listen to fields of yesterday taylor demo and the one on waters rising, youll see what i mean!

    I only had the first two tapes, so I wasn't familiar with the current members (thought that singer looked a little young!). However their performance was kickass and they sounded GREAT! I can't wait to listen to the later albums!

    Sad Day on Planet Earth is a solid Album...but Fire, Blood, the Earth and Sea is such a badass Song! Very Epic.

    A band that never got the fame they deserved. And that's sad for they are really good musicians.
