This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.84.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 00:10, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Black Rose''' are <!-- Per WP:ENGVAR, bands that originate from Great Britain are treated plural. Do not change "are" to "is". --> an English [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band from [[Teesside]] in the north east of England.<ref name="LarkinHM" /> They formed in 1976 under the name Ice but changed it to Black Rose in 1980. Black Rose was one of the many British bands considered part of the [[new wave of British heavy metal]] movement. The original line-up was Steve Bardsley (lead vocals/guitar), Kenny Nicholson (guitar), Marty Rajn (bass) and Mark Eason (drums). Over the next nine years the band went through various line-up changes and released quite a few records including two albums: ''Boys Will Be Boys'' (1984) and ''Walk It How You Talk It'' (1986) before splitting up in 1989.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/black-rose-mn0000080383|title=Black Rose &#124; Biography, Albums, Streaming Links|website=[[AllMusic]]|accessdate=12 November 2019))</ref> The band then re-formed in 2006 and released their third album ''Cure for Your Disease'' in 2010. In 2022 they released their fourth studio album ''WTF'' on Pure Steel Records.

== History ==
Black Rose started out as Ice back in 1976 when three friends from a School in [[Saltburn by the Sea]] decided to form a rock band. The three guys were Steve Bardsley, Marty Rajn and Mark Eason who soon became a four piece after they saw guitarist Kenny Nicholson playing in a local pub and asked him if he wanted to join up with them. Eason left the band citing musical differences and local drummer Charlie Mack was drafted in. As this line-up they recorded their first demo tape at Impulse Studios in Wallsend [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle]], the home of independent record label [[Neat Records]], which consisted of five songs: "Alright On The Night", "Biker", "Killer", "Loveshock" and "Raising Hell". The demo was picked up by various rock disco playlists,((citation needed|date=November 2019)) and featured in the local charts section of the British rock magazine ''[[Kerrang!]]''.

Nicholson and Mack both left the band to pursue others ventures, Mack joined Emerson and then ended up in [[Samson (band)|Samson]] and Nicholson went on to form both Holland<ref>((Cite web |url=http://nwobhm.info/nwobhm/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=172&Itemid=42HOLLAND |title=Home - nwobhm.info |access-date=18 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080531030028/http://nwobhm.info/nwobhm/index.php?option=com_content |archive-date=31 May 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all ))</ref> and Fast Kutz.<ref>((cite web | url = http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=19994FAST%20KUTZ | title = Black Rose page on Encyclopaedia Metallum|website=Metal-archives.com|accessdate=12 November 2019))</ref> New guitarist Chris "wahwah" Watson and drummer Mal Smith then joined the band and they released their first single on the Teesbeat label called "No Point Runnin'". Rajn fell out with the rest of the band over various issues and departed, making way for another bass player Mick Thompson to step in. This went on to be probably the most stable line-up of the band, recording and releasing an array of songs including their début album ''Boys Will Be Boys'' and featuring on a variety of compilation records. The band toured all over the UK and Europe playing alongside established bands including [[Raven (band)|Raven]], [[Terraplane (band)|Terraplane]], [[Budgie (band)|Budgie]], [[Trust (French band)|Trust]], [[Vardis]], [[Atomic Rooster]], [[Pretty Maids]] and [[Spider (British band)|Spider]], and gathered a worldwide fanbase having fan clubs in Europe, Japan and the United States.((citation needed|date=November 2019))

By the mid 1980s, they were also joined by guitar and keyboard player Gary Todd and major record labels [[Atlantic Records]] and [[Bronze Records]] both showed some interest in the band but neither signed them. Consequently, Watson was disillusioned and left making way for the guitarist Pat O'Neil. This line-up recorded the band's second album ''Walk It How You Talk It'' released by [[Neat Records]] which saw them recording more melodic songs. This album was picked up by AJK, a subsidiary of [[K-tel]] in the United States where it was repackaged for release, but due to a dispute over copyrights with a US band of the same name the record was not issued. This was to be the beginning of the end for the band and although they recorded some more material nothing was released and they split up in 1989.<ref name="LarkinHM">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Guinness Who's Who of Heavy Metal]]|editor=Colin Larkin|editor-link=Colin Larkin (writer)|publisher=[[Guinness Publishing]]|date=1995|edition=Second|isbn=0-85112-656-1|pages=53/4))</ref>

In 2006 Bardsley, after speaking to Watson, decided to write some new material together and Black Rose were born again. British indie rock label Majestic Rock Records released a CD of the band's songs from 1980–89 called ''Bright Lights Burnin''' and, in 2010, the band released their third album ''Cure for Your Disease'' as an independent download-only release.

A new line-up was put together and the band played their first gig in 25 years at the Cradle Will Rock festival in [[Shildon]], County Durham. In 2012, they were invited to play at Hammerfest lV and also at the Headbangers Open Air festival in Germany. The band also released three new albums on German record labels.((citation needed|date=November 2019))

The band have recently announced a 2 album deal with Pure Steel Records.
