Sorry, I'm new on here and didn't see any preview posts about the 'Tailz... [img]smile.gif[/img]
Ok, I just checked out Steevi Jaimz' Tigertailz myspace page - but I can't really say that they 'rock' or that its 'killer' - the chorus sounds like Magnum!! From what I've heard, Pepsi's Tigertailz rock a lot more..but still nothing like as good as Young and Crazy and Bezerk....

By the way, welcome to the new guy!
I don't know if a poll would be all that great of an idea. Mr. Sleazy would just show up, proclaim Steevi's version the greatest thing ever, and Kim and company a bunch of (fill in the blank with any number of not so nice things) and that they should just pck it up, and then plug his Claws Of Sin site about 100 times. Not that I would know from seeing it happen a million times before or anything. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Hey Suicide, give us a little more about yourself. Just so you don't have to hide behind nostalgia, almost everybody here still loves the music, old and new, but we all admit to also having grown a more varied taste. I still thrive on my idea of Glam and Trash, but I am also a Rockabilly fanatic, and a huge fan of the Delta Blues, Be-Bop Jazz, and the old Big Bands of the 30's and 40's, along with crooners such as Bing Crosby. I'm a rabid Andrews Sisters fan, also. I love Celtic Folk also.
But there is no reason to be ashamed of still loving the old tunes, and finding many of the new bands great. It's still a great style of music, and it ages better than most styles. Stuff like Jet and Silverhead sounds better today than stuff by KC And The Sunshine Band!
Hey dont get me wrong dude, it was a craic, great times .. wouldnt change a dam minute of it .. methinks something of more substance for me tho now..lol
Thunderbird Red for me dude .. twas the drink in the day huh?
Thunderbird was definately THE drink....Yeah, Red was best, but I remember downing quite a bit of the blue, too! That and JD, of course...and Newcastle Brown Ale..There was a really cool off-license just down the road from the Astoria in Old Compton Street , on the corner opposite 'The Village' gay bar- I think it's still there...and it's got hand-written prices and descriptions on every bottle in there - that was where me and my mates used to stock up, even though we were all well underage...I liked the way that with Thunderbird wine I could drink abolutely loads of it and get totally trashed, but still know exactly what I was doing - controlling my body, however, was a completely different story - I was all over the fucking place!!!
Truely a great great band! I love their records!
Thanks Carl...The glam/sleaze years still have a very special place in my heart..and as much as my friends take the piss out of me for liking such music, I really dont care! My favourites at the time were The Quireboys, Dogs D'amour, Tattooed Love Boys, Tigertailz, Gunfire Dance...then for US bands I was into Faster Pussycat, Vain, Poison, Cinderella..I'm on a mission now to recreate some of my record collection of old (I sold all my records years ago!) What I'm listening to now is totally different: I was totally into the shoegaze thing of the early nineties - Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Ride were particular favourites. Sonic Youth, weren't far from my stereo. I was into that for quite a few years...but over the last couple of years I've been listening to Sigur Ros, Mojave 3, Tindersticks, Serge Gainsbourg, Scott Walker, Antony and the Johnsons, Belle And Sebastian...but as I said, I've always had a thing for the 'glam' thing so I did purchase CD's by Quireboys, Dogs D'Amour, Faster Pussycat, Cinderella and Poison over the last few years...I really want to find demos and singles and stuff from the likes of Gunfire Dance, Soho Roses, Rich Rags,. Red Dogs - the sleazier side of the scene...If anyone can help it would be so appreciated!
And then the bomb landed .. he said RicH Rags .. right thats it im fookin off before it all starts, all over again !.. lol
Thanks for that Carl!
