They might have looked like pussies but they could play blistering metal. Live they were brilliant when I saw them. For mine The Crimson Idol concept and The Headless Children are the pick. See what they did to 'the Real Me' (Who track) and 'Locomotive Breath' (Tull track).YMMV.

Jesus, I havent heard Locomotive Breath in 25 years. Scurrying off to the torrents as we speak.

Speaking of covers of Who songs, Patti Smith does an amazing version of "My Generation"

This thing would be the ultimate freak of late 80's LA glam rock

especially we he put out an album called "Thrill Me"

Michael Monroe

I was watching infomercial thingys on tele this morning .. yes I know .. Iv turned square eyes since becoming an unemployed bum .. ok yes I got packing and shit to do but ANYWAY .. the infomercial thingy was fuck .. Rock Ballads or something like that and ohh my goodness EUROPE! ... GAY GLAM has to go to EUROPE surely! .. other omg'ness's were Whitesnake, Mr Mister, Toto, Poison and so many others that had me literally crying with laughter ... I have to personally say though that the 80's really is my favourite era of music across most genres

I can still listen to any of that 80's rock...I dont even have a problem with what they look like. And I would rather my kids go through any damn phase they like, as long as they are happy, its only a phase right?
