Glam bands that could have been big

[brandonpat]

There are a few that I think had alot of potential but for some reason fell apart prior to being signed or right before recording. Number 1 - Tryx, had the songs, looks, everything. I know the story about them getting signed, too bad they could'nt "Hold On" 2 - Sweet Savage. I have an old Rock City News (or L.A. Roxx) with a picture of Bret Michaels, Jani Lane, and Joey C. Jones together on the cover. How did SS never get signed ? 3 - Rated X, great songs, good look, right around the time Poison got big. What happened ?
4- Big Bang Babies, I think they were a few years late but some of the best glam songs I have ever heard. 5 - Alleycat Scratch, same thing about trying to get signed in the grunge years but they had some cool songs and were alot better than most of the L.A. bands that got signed in the late 80's.

Any others I am forgetting ?

NOT SURE IF YA READ PREVIOUS POSTS WHERE I TALKED ABOUT WHY HTM IS NOT MENTIONED IN THEIR NEW PROJECT!!! BUT THAT'S THE REASON CUZ LONNY'S NAME APPEARS SO SPICIFIED IN PREVIOUS COMENT!!! BTW THEY WEREN'T BIGGER PERHAPS CUZ THEY STARTED WHEN 80'S GLAM WAS DYING!!! REMEMBER WRATHCHILD/NITRO/TRYX KNOCKED PREVIOUSLY TO 20MARCH1993 WHEN (IF I AIN'T WRONG) THEY PLAYED LIVE AT THE 1ST TIME!!! OR 1991 WHEN THE 1ST DEMO UNDER THE HEART THROBS'S NAMBER WAS HOME RECORDED!!!

I think the bands that coulda been big...were...
Wikked Gypsy, and Tommi Gunn....Also Rozy Coyote shoulda made it.

I've been exchanging e-mails with a guy who worked with several of those strip bands...he also wrote the liner notes to the Hollywood Rocks book....i was told Tommi Gunn were thisclose to getting a deal.. and at one of their shows they even announced to the crowd that they had been signed..it just so happened the label guys at MCA were in the crowd and they walked out...was told that killed the deal...don't know why???
TRYX, i was told had horrible management....i still don't understand after playing clubs for a few years...they finally get a record deal with Scotti Bros....then decide not to do the album...anyone know the full story behind this?
WIKKED GYPSY...i was told these guys had way too many personal problems to deal with....still Atlantic records(i think this is the label) were briefly interested.

another couple of bands i always thought might have done well was HELTER SKELTER, STRIKE TWICE and BAD INFLUENCE....we'll never know!!

yeah Strike Twice was awesome.
Bad Influence had their music polished to a proffesional sound...well enough to be signed, but at the end it all went down hill

The band that should have been the Biggest ... altho bigger then the bands you have mentioned already ..and did have some success with numerous albums and most of us here love and adore ... they should of took over the world and never looked back but we all know the story ... were the one and Only........
..................................HANOI ROCKS ........................................

Not sure on how big HTM might have been. They were way over the top and that never really worked even when glam was big (Nitro,Wrathchild). I liked them but could never get into them that much. Speaking of HTM, anyone check out Lonny's new band ? Dev (Estate) is in there too playing bass. Funny how they don't mention HTM as previous bands they were in. Here is the link if you want to
