Bands & Projects that members have been in.
The band my brother & I formed in 1987. Broke up in 1992. The band was called 'Pink Champagne'. And we sounded like a cross between VVI & Canada's unsigned Glam band called Änä BläcK (who ended up relocating to L.A.) We even used to do a cover of Gypsy in Her Eyes. I was the Singer (Guy, yes the miss Guy LOL , in the middle of the two Pixs), the Blonde (Your getting moist aren't u?), my Brother, the Drummer & Two Guitar players & Bass.

Yer, This one time, at band camp, Na, but seriously. I when to see Poison with the Girl I had the hots for. Anyway I'm looking all cool & shit in my slick PVC, Lace Gloves, Boots (ya get the picture). Any way, I'm outside the Entertainment Centre in Sydney Australia & there is this crowd of people starting swell in front of me. I'm think, what the f**k is going on. So I'm standing there trying to be all cool & nonchalant. Next minute I see this person moving through the crowd & making a bee line for me. I have no idea who this person is at this point as there are a lot of people around. This guy walks up to me & puts his hand out to shake mine & it's C. C. DeVille. He shakes my hand & says you look cool dude. Suffice to say, I still didn't get layed that nite. Them's the breaks.
This other time, The band & I r hanging out @ the Kardomah Cafe, in the Cross. A cool Glam band, the Candy Harlots is playing that night. Also
Skid Row have played days before & are also hanging out @ the Kardomah. During the night one needs to go relieve him self of the many beverages that have been consumed. So I'm standing at the troff doing my business & I feel this guy tap me on the back & say, 'you look cool Man'. It's 'The Snake' Sabo. Didn't mind it coming from Dave Sabo while I'm doing a pie as I've always liked him. He seemed to think outside the box of just listening to pure metal. And also he wore cool Lords of the New Church T-shirts & I'd got into the Lords after listening to Hanoi Rocks & L.A. Guns.

Well as for me, my first real band didn't ever have an official name, but the name we had for the longest was "Jet Black" and it was me on guitar and a drummer and bass player. We played more of a straight up rock type sound, before I really got into metal. Later on we had another guitar player come in, at that point jealousy arose seeing how the new guy was much better than me. I left the band after the guitar players brother took over bass (he was a huge dick). After that I started a band called "Hounds of Hell" http://www.myspace.com/samus666 (I couldn't figure out a name for us until I listened to Boyz Are Gonna Rock, the line "Running rabid, we're the Hounds of Hell). This band was pseudo NWOBHM After we broke up, I started another band with the drummer of Hounds of Hell called "Meliorate" http://www.myspace.com/666meliorate666 which was a thrash punk kind of style with me on vocals and guitar. And now I'm in the band "External Ruin" http://www.myspace.com/externalruin which is really aggressive melodic death with me on vocals and guitar as well. This band is different than my other ones because I'm actually writing with the other guitar player.
I prowl the innocent, forbidden terrain, unleashed half human, half insane
Two of my bands worked on originals, my first and one a bit later but otherwise I play covers to get out there and have fun.
I did a Kiss covers band after their first reunion tour in 97 which I folded in 2000 but am starting again with the same crew save the drummers as the two we had are both interstate now. That's just a side project with the aim to do a few gigs a year if that, just as a special occasion.
My regular pop/rock cover band has male and female leads so we cover a lot of styles. With the Kiss band I'll play my TSL100 Marshall, straight into the amp and for the other band I play a Pod XT Live into the desk with a monitor for me for versatility and easy lugging!

I was fully laughing at the "down 2, no that's up!"
How can you explain that logic to a kid holding the guitar like that....GOLD !
....and she's even wearing the Vinnie pink!
Haha
The 3rd and only other Jackson from the 80´s .. Belongs to Brian Slosser .. I believe this is from ´87 if memory serves me correctly (notice the pre-amp hole .. he asked for the same as VV but Jackson refused and gave him the next best (his words) ..
Yes .. I am the 5th member of KISS Brazil LOL! Being Scottish has it´s advantages .. no-body else was allowed on stage for pix .. Ã

I would love to hear teej in a band.
I tried out for Animal (Randy Piper), Road Crew (Davy Vain, Steve Adler), Baton Rouge, Brett Steele (solo), Apocrypha, Laaz Rockit , Flesh and Blood, Lord Tracy and Belladonna. All were for basically the number two guitar player. I only got offered one job and that was for no pay. I didn't take it as I was very young and they were based in Vegas. I really was also not that good. I can not tell you if most of these bands ever recorded actually. Most were early on before demos etc.
Don't forget my dad was in the music industry and got me all the auditions. Long time ago now.

all i remember was that the singer was wanting to drop playing guitar and hire one or two guitarists. We lived in Louisiana and they had just moved to LA if I was correct. I sucked so bad in that audition. I had a problem back then with drooling while I played and I remember getting the drool all over my neck as I was playing, it must have looked crazy.

Very cool. Animal and Lord Tracy have come through town. I have a buddy that was in Belladonna for a bit. The singer for Animal was a dead ringer vocally for Blackie and the version I saw had Chris Holmes with Randy Piper. Animal's drummer gave one of the best performances I have ever seen .I have never seen someone hit so hard and exhaust themself behind a kit like that guy did. They played here about 6 years ago at a small bar for probably less than 100 people.doublev wrote:I would love to hear teej in a band.

Did lord Tracy ever get a deal? I remember the record they were demoing was black page. I nearly died in the the guitarist car in Dallas going through toll booths without paying. I don't recall animal even having a Singer when I tried out in 89. I think they may have played.the whiskey a few months later. I am surprised they are around still. God I sucked.
Doublev’s a Mover & a Shaker. Luv the two Animals cd’s I have. Got the last one about 4 years ago. And Davy Vain. Man I love Vain. Should have as big as Skid Row in my book. No tears for you. Awesome song.
Hey doublev would you know what happened to Wade Hayes of Roxx Gang. Man he was a pretty awesome shredder. Hear he’s working at a Music store called Paragon, in Tampa Bay. Just disappeared of the face the planet like Harry Cody. Such a shame. So f**ken talented, the both of them.

Teej, cool stuff! I hope you didn't have to help "Pablo" Stanley pull that camel toe out! Eeeeeugh! I have a sick mind!
And DV! Man I've heard of half those bands over here!
I played in a metal band in the 90's but no-one in Cairns wanted to hear metal bands back then! Now there's heaps of them! I did learn 15 Dream Theater songs (what a bitch!) and did a tribute show of which we broke even on, I'm proud to say. And Aussie's will know Christine Anu, I opened for her one night. Never got paid either......the b*tch!!!!!

Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains!
my auditions were because of my dad. he knew everyone in the music scene in LA/NY and London.
Bret Steele was thinking of a solo career I think. No idea of the Roxx Gang guys. I have no idea if he made a solo album.
I knew Steve Adler as for the month I was in LA with my dad we were at the Rainbow for lunch and he was around (if you could call it that) most days. I only met Adler in that audition and he obviously didn't care for me. My dad managed The Cult for a while (but my mother advised my dad to drop them and he did and that is just before their big hits) and Adler wasn't too impressed with that a fact. I have no idea if Road Crew made a record , Adler owned the name and wanted Davy Vain. I believe he may have been based in Northern Cal.
I had no really idea Animal got a record out. I know they had a buzz about them but even in the peak of the rock scene didn't get a deal (i don't think) but it looks like they stuck with it. I met Piper and didn't like him one bit and he kind of made fun of me. lol
i was very young and shy, my dad did all the talking, i don't think he knew how bad i sucked.

aye .. thats the last one Jackson ever built it seems .. personally I dont like it ... the guitar looks busy enuff without the cracked mirror (which I loved on the ibanez PS model).. took 2 years to build and they said that was the last they will ever make .. and believe me it will not be for sale .. whatever site that is is a scam .. Brett´s wife bought it for him
The VVV was a guitar shape that Jackson at one time were saying they wouldn't make them to to the complexity of the guitar. That was their main reason for years, which was crazy as a Custom Shop should make anything someone wants.
Complexity is why the original King Kelly lost it's cutouts, the pain of sanding/working the cut outs was deemed to much and the shape simplified. They did a few of the originals in a special run a few years ago though. Maybe they are more inclined to pull their finger out?
This was all before the problems with anything Artist related once Fender took over, which really brought the hammer down on the good times.
