Does anyone here remember when The Wildhearts were a Glam Band?

[KrissTeen]

I was checking through my demos and I found an old tape that had Snake on vocals. Back in those days they were as glam as Soho Roses. I do not have any pictures, but does anyone else remember? Does anyone have any pictures from back then? Also does anyone have any pictures of Celebrity Skin? I have never actually seen them?

[NEVER ON SUNDAY]

celeb skin pics ya want, here ya go............

Another band that has caught that highly contagious disease that's been goin' round.
I think it's called "Reunion Fever"

"CELEBRITY SKIN"
here is their web page. most of their pics are new, but - for old stuff check the comments section....

Despite Snake, and the Soho Roses connections ,I hardly think the Wildhearts could ever have been consrude as glam. I have most of the Demos and you could hardly mistake Turning American or Liberty Cap for Talk Dirty to me..

Anyone remember when Ginger was in the Throbs?

[Ian Rich Rags]

Ha Ha, for all of two gigs. I think he frightened them to death.

The Throbs with their image of pasty skin and jet black hair go and ask a guy called Ginger to join. Then they wonder why he won't dye his hair black....the clue's in the name muppets!
One of rock's sillier moments but always a great story. Good to hear Celebrity Skin might give it another go. I'd love to hear more stuff from them, even if it's just a bunch of old demos repackaged!

Thanks for the link Nasty! But image wise Wildhearts were certainly a glam band. On their cover photo, they look like Sweet Teaze or something. But I must admit that they have toned it down completely. I think Snake's departure signalled a change in the band's direction... Anyway what about Nitro? Freight Train wasn't Talk Dirty to me - were they a glam band? What about Pharoah? Phantasm? Legz up? Kid Wikked? Romeo's Rock? Early Guns N Roses? Nasty Idols? Do you think all these aren't glam because they are not bubblegum? Glam is as much image as it is a sound.

I was with Ginger in New York for his "Throbs" debut gig. The same night, I won the "best Butt in New York" competition, beating the "Cycle Sluts from Hell", and Nick Cave. I don't remember the Throbs gig. I was under the bar with Venus Penis-Crusher....

Great night out though...

The Wildhearts never have been and never will be a glam band,
The closest has to be the silver ginger five album

its not all about image

The Wildhearts before Ginger took over vocals definately had a glam sound. The early demos had some elements of the classic Wildhearts sound, but Please Baby Please and Wild Wine and Whisky have glam written all over them.
