125.0. "Sleeze [Sleaze] Metal" by SUBURB::DALLISON (I'm going up, but NEVER down) Fri Jun 24 1988 09:38

    
    I know there's a note on GnR but lets keep this as a discussion
    on the sleeze bands such as Faster Pussycat, more GnR, LA Guns, 
    etc....                                                         
                                                                    
    Put any opinions, favourite albums, fav bands etc.. or even general
    info in here.                                                   
                                                                    
    Are most of the sleeze bands LA based or are some coming out of NY
    too ??  Being a brit my musical geography ain't good so 'scuse the 
    ignorance.

    I saw faster Pussycat at City aud with Frehley's Comet, and Y &
    T.  It wuz the foist time I ever heard them and they sounded pretty
    good, pretty raw but good none the less. I thought they kicked mild
    butt (can't say a$$ cuz the moderators might delete me). Actually
    I think the were good, I don't remember too well cuz I wuz pretty
    trashed. The guitar sounded good and their singer screached most
    of there stuff and yeh, they were a mild surprise.

125.3Hanoi RocksPLEXUS::V5REGISTRARFri Jun 24 1988 17:1916
    Tony,
    
    If you are into that sleaze/glam/trash stuff, have I got the band
    for you!!  Have you ever heard any of Hanoi Rocks' stuff?  They
    aren't together anymore, but they have tons of albums, all worth
    a listen.
    
    A lot of people don't go for that kind of music, but I do, and Hanoi
    Rocks is where it's at.  Their last album before they broke up (Razzle,
    their drummer was killed a couple of years ago in a crash with Vince
    Neil) wasn't quite as heavy hitting as the others, more commercial,
    I think.  
    
    Try it, you'll like it.

125.4My positive thoughts :PFLOYD::ROTHBERGand now, no. 1, the horse chestnutSun Jun 26 1988 12:1813
                I'd rather listen to reggae.  I don't think these
                bands came from  L.A.    I think they crawled out
                from under some rocks and decided that they could
                make a fair amount of  noise with the possibility
                that a bit of melody just  might be found therin,
                and then moved to L.A.
                
                Shoot them all . . . 
                
                Guns and Roses - ugh . . .

    Yeah, Hanoi Roxx
    
    Check out Self Destruction Blues, Back to Mystery City, Bangkok
    Shocks, Saigon Shakes.
    
    Big influence on GN'R.

    I reckon one of the biggest influences on the sleeze bands has to
    be Aerosmith.

    Oh boy, can I comment on this topic!
    
    re: Hanoi Rocks
    
    Great band! Too bad they self-destructed before their time had come.
    I saw them at the Paradise on a Sat. afternoon show, about 2 weeks
    before Razzle died. Great!
    
    re: Faster Pussycat
    
    Much better live than on record. Also better in a club than in an
    arena. Stones and Aerosmith are their big influences.
    
    Oops, gotta go. System goes down at 12:00. More comments later.

    Out of the sleeze bands which are your favourite and which album/s.
         
    I would think the most popular would be GnR, Appetite for Destruction
    but I could be wrong. (Thats mine anyway).
         
    What about Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction.  I guess they
    could be classified as sleezy.  Anybody got their album "Tattoo
    Beat Messiah" ??

125.11the Crue is SLEEEAZYZUMA::MINARDIMon Jun 27 1988 13:3511
    
    Yeah, sleaze. That's one of the reasons I loved Motley Crue. They
    are still sleazy, but have been growing up lately, now that even
    Vince is getting/is married.
    	I saw 'Love Reaction open up for Guns n Roses at the Orpheum
    this year. All I can remember from them is a wall of noise.
    I couldn't get into their music too much, but after seeing their
    video, they are the scummiest looking band I've ever seen.

    Boys, boys, boys.
    
    Diversity makes the world go around.  Some like sleazy bands, some
    don't.  Personally, I do, but that doesn't make me hate thrash/speed
    metal any less.

125.15New LA GunsCSC32::G_HOUSEBack in BlackTue Sep 13 1988 14:015
    Speaking of these bands, I saw the new video from LA Guns on MTV this
    weekend.  It's called "Electric Gypsy" and it's not a bad song. Also,
    for you Harley fans, there are lots of cool old bikes in this one.

    re: Steve Riley
    	Yes, he does now play for LA Guns. I knew when I was looking
    at the Guns' picture that he looked awfully familiar.

                I can see the similarity between the two.  Geesh.

    besides thats the story straight from Blackie's mouth.

    	After listening to "Salty Dog" a couple times, I think
    	they fit into this category.
