As per usual, when myspace people start meddling
with their HTML, they invariably fuck things up.
Their re-designing is wank - as wank as their
questionable pronouncement that, it was Stevie
and Ace that decided to 'reform Tigertailz'.
It'll never happen, but I'm sure we'd all love
to see the two Tigertailz's tour together? Imagine
that; imagine the egoism; imagine the compli-
cations. It would be ace, for us, to watch the
WWF style girlie backstage fisticuffs; but crap,
for them.

How can ANYBODY, thats been in Tigertailz past or present have an ego??... I like Tigertailz albums, but 99.9% of people have no fuckin idea who they are.
It's stupid that they are both using the same band name, but in the year 2005 I hardly think it matters, just aslong as they both put some NEW music.
I'm suprised nobody owns the name 'Tigertailz'.
An oversight on Pepsi and co.'s part?
Jaimz clinging to the name reeks of desperatism
to me. I wonder why Ace didn't join Kim's lot?

<font size="4" face="Arial">Because Kim and company first told him "no", then Steevi said "yes", then Kim and company decided to do it. I believe that is how it went.Originally posted by Deviant D:

I wonder why they said no. Maybe they didn't want
his glam sensibilites?

ACE FINCHUM SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!
This is Ace here,and thanks to my friend i am on his pc to tell the truth, believe or not its up to you!!??
For a start....I, Myself tried getting the Bezerk version of Tigertailz together for three and a half years,if anything to just do some dates.
Kim was always talking a good comeback but nothing more, Jay and Pepsi had just moved on from the whole music scene full stop. Jay has a big family,good job and couldn't look like Jay Pepper 1990 anymore,which to be honest none of us really can turn the clock back!! Pepsi has a very good job and wanted nothing to do with the band scene at all. I was disappointed but totally understood.
Anywho, I tried talking the guys around for another two years after the first time. By this time i had words with Jay and he started thinking about it a bit more seriously,, but we ran into the problem of Kim who was supposed to meet Jay at a pub but he never showed up? After that Jay lost interest for good.......
The truth is I was up for it and was pushing it,and to be honest there probably wouldn't be any versions right now, And this where the story begins.....
After three years and no success in getting the band back together i was just about to hang up the whole thing myself,when out of the blue i had a phone call from Steevi. A Japanese promoter had approached Steevi about getting the Young&Crazy lineup together to do some dates over in Japan.
Steevi contacted me first and after explaining everything i agreed and was pretty excited, but i told Steevi that there was no way Jay and Pepsi would agree as i had tried for the previous last three years to get us back together.Steevi,however got in contact with Jay and Jay said he couldn't commit to anything because the image was gone and family and work commitments. This is the real twist here.... I actually had the idea of bringing Kim along to play bass and sing because he was a bass player first. I thought we could go out and with him playing bass we could have him sing things like Love bomb baby,so that both versions would get aired at gigs. I spoke to Steevi and he said Kim wont be up for that!!! Well to my surprise Kim was up for it and he actually said to me he would rather play bass then have the pressure of being a frontman. I couldn't believe it but i gave him Steevi's number thinking he probably wouldn't call him anyway? Kim did call Steevi and things seemed to be sorted except for a guitarist.
Kim never got back in touch with us and after a few times trying to get a hold of him we thought "Fuck it" we are not going to chase anyone! Well eventually we managed to get a lineup together as everyone know's and got a record deal. Gigs soon followed and the news was getting around the press about Steevi and i reforming,When we had confirmed gigs i decided to call Jay to see what he thought about us going out as Tigertailz performing Young & Crazy material only, Jay gave me his blessing and said he knew the boy(Pepsi) wouldn't give a shit either.
And that is how everything was left>>
Forward wind to the end of 2003!!
After we had finished the tour and had feedback from the tour, guess who announces their comeback!! Yes the Pepsi version!! I was very disappointed as i had put so much effort in trying to get the Bezerk version back again as i had mentioned earlier, But fuck if i was giving up everything Steevi and i had worked on for the last couple years because they had asked us to drop the name all of a sudden because they decided it was time to get back together as well. To Carl, the reason i didn't join them is because they didn't ask me, simple as. Why , i don't know? Because i don't live in Wales?? This is a letter to explain to people like Carl what really went down,not to put down Kim,Jay or Pepsi as they are special people to me and i cherished what we once had as a band, At the same time i am also proud of what Steevi and I have going for us a the moment. Tigertailz was a band based on image,you cant build up your reputation as the wildest glam band in the world and come back as if you were never about glam? and want to be Velvet Revolver?? come on...Stay true to what the band was about, and i feel that is exactly what we are doing. Steevi Jaimz is as Rock n Roll as they come!! and established himself as the Tiger in Tigertailz with Sex,Drugs& Rock n Roll running through his veins!!
Who is staying true to the name Tigertailz?? Well thats for the fans to decide when they see and hear the new albums i guess? Me?? well Im just the Drummer lol!!
Cheerz all
Ace x
Hey Ace...cool to see ya here.
In all truthfulness...I like the You and Steevi version 100x better that the other....haha.
Yo Ace, Welcome to the board.
Perhaps a lot of these rumours/ stories will finally get cleared up! Along with some new and old stories to entertain us all?!?!!?!
