[sonicsamurai]

does anyone like faster pussycat? i have their first album on vinyl


sorry i am putting random thoughts in seperate posts as they pop into my head

[sonicsamurai]

tuff were pretty good too from what i remember, god bless this mess follow the loser were pretty sleazy

[sonicsamurai]

Oh God, Tigertailz?! Ugh, that was the one album I took a chance on, and LOST! Well, that and TT Quick's "Metal Of Honor". Yikes!
Yes, Pepsi Tates WAS in that band. Don't know about his current status, though.
TNT is one of THEE best. Ronnie Le Tekro was one of my first influences, with his rapid muted picking and squeels, LONG before Zakk. Tony had one of the best rock voices, too, IMHO.

tigertailz's first too records are good, tho the vocals are a lil crazy in places....bezerk has some great riffs and solos on it....

Firehouse rocks, and Leverty is a great player.

firehouse are awesome. even if he does have a very girly voice, but they are awesome, and leverty has written some great riffs....,lover's lane, reach for the sky, shake and tumble, overnight sensation is a such a kickass tune

I'll have to say Bang Tango kicked ass live and played import Charvels too.
Thumbs up to Rob Marcello taking over in Danger Danger he kicks ass too, a well versed player and a hell of a nice guy.
Savatage was killer live, played import Charvies as well.
Armored Saint ruled the mid 80's

Kix was fun. I saw them open for either Great White or Cinderella.

Me too. And I can't remember which one it was, either, here. Damn it!

Either way, Kix was a great band, and I never understood why they never got any bigger than they did. I STILL blast "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" on a regular basis. Great song. Now "Body Talk"? Eh........not so great......

Now that I think about it, I may have seen them once with Great White and another time with Cinderella. After turning 21 in '93, a lot of those club days were a drunken haze! :ROTF:

John Sykes, right? If I remember, correctly.

Correct ! I saw them opening for Gillan in '80 or '81 and didn't know anything about them. They were awesome !

Firehouse rocks, and Leverty is a great player.

Firehouse...

- oh god, man! NO!

Hey, they had a few, and they are one of the tightest, most professional bands I've had the pleasure of seeing live!! It's not all "wedding songs"... "Reach for the Sky" rocks, as does "Shake and Tumble". That's the stuff by Firehouse that I listen to!

Have you heard their "My Religion" cd? Probably one of their best yet. I haven't heard the one with Tony Mills from Shy though.

Damn, Chris is just TEARING IT UP! So much so, that I read his lists, and gave up even contributing, cause he already covered so many of the ones I was gonna say. Kudos!

Live it, love it!! It's about all I listen to.
