Recommend me some music - Please

[Skwint]

Hey folks

Glad to be back by the way - was a long journey for me to get back to this place but I made it.



I need new old music- glam/sleaze - I have a lot of records although I just discovered Jackyl - which for some reason I must have missed them the first time round .

can anyone recommend some obscure but great Glam I may have missed out on.

I also just found a band called cleavage which don't appear to have done much but I have found a few tracks of youtube and I quite like.

So yeah anything that may have been around but just boiling under the radar of my teenage self in the 80's would be appreciated.

I find myself listening to the same tracks day in day out in the car and although the nostalgia is great and I love the tunes I play I would like some more that I have maybe never heard of.

cheers folks

Ever heard Shotgun Messiah? And while not really "sleaze" u could try EZO. I love both bands.

I wasn't really into these bands but how bout Tiger Tailz, Smashed Gladys, Kik Tracee, Pretty Boy Floyd... hell even Celtic Frost went glam/sleaze for one album (Cold Lake).

From my iPod to your eyes for consideration ...I'll try not to include anyone "big" as I will assume since you are on a Vinnie Vincent message board that you know the big ones some of them might have had a little popularity so you might have heard of them so sorry about that in advance if you have. Except to say if you haven't heard L.A. Guns newest one Hollywood Forever, that is definitely worth checking out

Bang Tango ...kind of funky but still glam...the bassist is more prominent than in most glam bands
Britny Fox ...kind of a Cinderella knock off just check out their first album that's the best one
Dangerous Toys ...basically they are ZZ Top meets Guns 'n Roses
Enuff Z'Nuff ...really they are a power pop band but they were marketed as glam when they came out and there are enough similarites for them to pass as a glam band...regardless they are an amazing band that is overlooked by the general public
Every Mother's Nightmare ...nothing too special about them but they are a solid glam band
Galactic Cowboys ...not really glam/sleeze they are a bit harder than that and more proggy but a great band that is overlooked
Hurricane ..they are straight ahead glam but with better lyrics than most glam bands and their singer should have got more attention than he did...I think his name is Kelly Hansen
Keel ...great songs...some good guitar playing as well...the singer has a kind of unique voice for glam...really throaty he also sings in a lower register quite a bit
Kingdom Come ...some people hate them because they are a Zeppelin Ripoff but if you don't mind a lack of originality they are pretty good
Lord Tracy ...if the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were a glam band they would be Lord Tracy...but make no mistake they are a glam band
Love/Hate ...if glam would have remained popular they are they next logical step after Guns and Roses
The London Quireboys ...kind of like The Black Crowes very Stonsey but a bit more sleezey
Roxx Gang ...I think they just released one album but it is a doozy it's called Things You've Never Done Before...they should have been quintessential glam instead they are a footnote
Saigon Kick ...not really glam..they are more like a happy/goofy Alice in Chains
T-Ride ...they are a little bit of everything...kind of like L.A.'s version of Queen
TNT ...I hesitate to include them because I think they were kind of big but regardless they are fucking amazing...one of the best singer/guitarist duos that doesn't get talked about as much as they should (Tony Harnell/Ronni Le Tekro)
Vain ...they came out shortly after Guns 'n Roses and sound similar in some ways but to me they are far superior

I loved LORD TRACY!!! Three Headed Chick!!!

I was going strictly by bands I thought people probably hadn't heard of. I think most of your list is pretty well known. Except LORD TRACY!!!!
