Steevi and Ace's version of TigerTailz shows that they still have great excellent music and image to continue with what they do best.

The new tracks sound great and although Steevi sometimes lets his ego run a bit wild (personal experience)he was the original and the best, the singer that replaced him after the first album, Kim Hooker I believe his name was sounded awful, in fact I seem to remember Kim Hookers first band were called Rankleson and their first album was tastefuly titled THE BASTARDS OF ROCK N ROLL doomed from the start really
By the way nice pouting on the new pic

This sounds killer! I'm still firmly in the Kim Hooker fan club, but I'm totally stoked about the Steevi lineup as well. My fear is that they will have to release the new cd under a namer other than Tigertailz...
Sandi
Think the first song is excellent but the second one is pretty poor!!
Still prefer Kim's version
AYE * .. PROOF AGAIN THAT RAGGZ WAS DROPPED ON HIS HEAD AZA CHILD LOL ... 1ST SONG DOES SOUND REALLY REALLY GOOD ...HOPE ENTIRE ALBUM KICKS ASS ... HOPE KRASH K.O LIVE FOREVER ... BUT WE ALL KNOW WHO TIGERTAILZ IS . GUESS THERE ARE ALOT OF PAUL DIANNO MAIDEN FANS OUT THERE TOO .. AND HE WAS GOOD ... BUT WE ALL KNOW BRUCE TOOK EM TO THE NEXT LEVEL .. SAME DIFFERENCE .
PS. YA REDNECK BASTAGE .. WHEN U CALL ....PREPARE TA CATCH HELL YA FLEA BITTEN VARMIT
Yep 1st song ... Great! The 2nd not so good!
After that terrible first demo, this is VERY promising. Even though the second song is weak, I think it shows much promise of something very good in the works.
I'm a Hooker fan myself too, but I have to say so far the new songs I've heard from Steevi and Ace I'm really diggin!
Here's to having to Tailz to rock out even more ! [img]cool.gif[/img]
I would say I prefer second song... but both samples kick ass!!! For you Sandi, they are not gonna change the name! their album will come out with the name of TIGERTAILZ... maybe it's the others who should have changed name or will have to do it in the future... but why not two bands under the same name... and in a same gig, can you imagine?
"maybe it's the others who should have changed name or will have to do it in the future..."
I highly doubt that. All the best to both versions, but my money is still with Pepsi, Jay, Kim and whoever the fuck they have drumming now lol. (Daz... is it true Stone was, or is drumming for them now?).
By the way... I DID like the samples on myspace. A LOT better than the King Of The World EP.
Can't wait to get a tase of Kim, Pepsi and Jay's stuff though!

When did Ace Frehley and the singer from The Counting Crows join the band...hehe!
I'm sorry, but as I said before...
Playing Love Bomb Baby looking like that just doesn't seem right...matter of fact, it should be against the law. [img]wink.gif[/img]

I completely agree!
I will be like a joke!
For some kinds of music image is so important as the music itself.
Same happens a little bit with L.A. GUNS, I love their new album and if I close my eyes it seems time hasn't moved and I am still in the late eighties... but seeing the band play live those songs will have nothing to do with the late eighties shows of L.A. GUNS... We all grow old and get fat... hehe
I bet any money that Kim's Tailz win the rights to the name , they already have the logo's copyrighted (is that a word??) , mainly because Pepsi did 'em !!
Don't get me wrong , good luck to Steevi's band , but they a'int Tigertailz....FACT!!!
Exactly Carl...hehehe.
Good points.
It's like seeing Michael Jackson doing Shout At The Devil....LOL!!!
Just isn't happening.
A true example was on the MTV awards...when Celine Dion did ACDC Shook Me All Night Long!...That's a perfect example...HAHAHA!
Like the new Steevi songs...they rock!!
You can now see the Bezerk 2 album cover for Kim's Tailz. looks awesome!!
http://www.tigertailz.co.uk
<font size="4" face="Arial">MIne was sarcasm you goof. Tigertailz have done REALLY heavy stuff, especially for the time. Their image was a bit off of their sound, with the exception of some songs. "Love Bomb Baby" is not indicitive of their whole discography. Their look would actually work just fine with the tunes being pumped out by Steevi, actually.Quote:

LMFAO!!!...I was being sarcastic too...haha.
Don't get me wrong...I"ll listen to both versions of TigerTailz, but with actual shows...if Kim and Pepsi's TigerTailz is gonna look like that and that's the way they'll be on stage...Then I'll pass...haha.
I strongly believe in MUSIC and IMAGE. but then again, that's my opinion...SO HUSH TO PEOPLE BEFORE THEY START TYPING....LOL!!!

I think Pepsi's tailz have a long way to go to prove they are worthy of the name judging by that pic. BUT.... We all get old and change... even me so maybe they'll be ok. Don't get me wrong I like both Tailz, but image counted for something before and still now too!
I know what you mean. It would be about as silly looking as a band in full on Glam gear doing something like a Metallica cover from their early days...or a band looking all fluffy and glam like and doing some form of Industrial/Death Metal hybrid. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Bloody hell Daz. I haven't seen Stoney around in ages and it is nice to see the guy hasn't changed lol. Cheers for the pic mate.
Well... Image I guess can be important for a glam band but as long as the music kicks arse I don't give a shit and I KNOW Kim, Pepsi and Jay will deliver on that part so I am looking forward to hearing some new stuff from them. My money is still on these guys.
All the best to Steevi and the guys too. Maybe a better image, but again... it's all down the the music yeah?

Personally, i think Ace and Steevi's new sound samples kick ass, so i'm looking forward to their NEW album all the more now.........
I'm not much interested in Pepsi's version these days, their "new" album Bezerk 2.0, is only a re-hash of old tracks (not deemed good enough to be on the original version in the first place)!!!!!!!
And, even if i could go along with their statement "we don't care about the image side anymore", which i don't, why then go out on stage looking like Braveheart extras at the Demolition Ball then transmute into the most hideous,rehabilitated, Bay City Rollers for the Venice Festival gig???????
Venice Festival Picz
[img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img] [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]confused.gif[/img]
Have they really become so arrogant since the sucess of the original Berzerk, they now think they can fob fans off with this second-rate effort?????
Well I don't think Pepsi Tate has to "prove" hes "worthy" of the Tigertailz name.. he IS Tigertailz, without Pepsi It wouldn't have existed in the first place. IMO he is to Tigertailz what Nikki Sixx is to Motley Crue.
But I'm exited to hear what Steevi & Ace have come up with will definitely give the samples a listen.
A couple of the songs that will be on Bezerk 2 I?ve heard on old demos, I think they are pretty good.. a lot of the other tracks never heard though.
OMFG I really hoped i`d never see Kim in shorts of any kind again after the Tigetailz dungareez shortz days,but wtf has he got on there? Is he auditioning for Baywatch moshpit edition?..good luck to the guys for coming up with that look again,maybe it will work this time round along with the rehashed throw away songs from Bezerk.I think a band has to reinvent itself once they have fallen from the Limelight or go back to what they did in day one which got them on top in the first place........ah i see a problem in what i just said they aint got Steevi [img]wink.gif[/img]

Tigertailz' dotcom site.
People pissing into their beer about Kim's TT
makes me laugh, because TT have always been the
most unfashionable, bodge-it-together-at-the-last-
minute-and-hope-for-the-best, glam band we've
probably ever seen, and which endears me to them
even more (ditto Rich Rags). Its antithesis, is
KISS: the same old bunch of frumps, "keeping the
image for the sake of the fans' precious nerves",
but are actually more derided by glamsters (for
peddling the same old two-bit show around town)
than any other band. These glamsters: you can't
please any of them, at any of the time. [img]wink.gif[/img] There's
possibly a sexual element why so many women - and
men - want their favourite glam bands to look
androgenous and sheboy-esque forever - but let's
not go there, yeh. LOL
D.
The Clash had it right when they said "We were here and now we're not. That will do for us"
Pepsi looks like he lives in fucking McDonalds.
As Buttz pointed out, once you hit 40 you look a bit despearate.
Damn straight i want my Glam boyz "androgenous" - it was all part of the package, and still very much expected today, i.e. Rachel Stamp, et all.
Whether it still appeals to the aging baldies amongst us, is neither here nor there, Tigertailz were/are cock-rock - but Kims photos from Venice are most definately a major Cock-Up LMFAO
I wasn`t saying that I dont like the glam image,im wearin it most of the time hence everyone calls me GlammyDave,I was more on about updating things put a twist on things clothes wise,we all unfortunately know it aint the eighties so whats wrong with looking a bit edgier,wearing what once was says to me that you aint got much of a clue about not looking dated and the end result is being ridiculed by wankers like me.
I guess its like any product you buy on the shelves thats been around a while even they`ve been updated since the eighties but essentially it almost looks like it used to (insert brand/product here)just a bit more current and more in touch with its surroundings and new consumers...im startin to go on now so i`ll shut up and look forward to reading any responses & thoughts any of you have on this subject. [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]
There are lotsa new bandz with glammy sleazy looks that kill in a little bit different style as in the eighties but more or less the same CRASHD?ET (they release album today!) being the most clear example of this nowadays, so I will never understand they the other TIGERTAILZ (the one of Kim and Co.) can go on stage with those grunge looks, at least the TIGERTAILZ of Steevi and Ace are true to what TIGERTAILZ was at the very beginning and keeping the glammy sleazy looks but adapted a little bit to nowadays but the others make no effort... at least they could go on a diet and lose some weight and then try to dress as they used to do in the Bezerk times way back in 1990... but they have different looks and heavy music... it has nothing to do with the spirit of TIGERTAILZ... At least Steevi & Ace seem to be still so fuckin' "Young And Crazy"...
Steevi and Ace may look better but they just don't have the songwriting capabilities of Kim, Pepsi & Jay. The king of the world ep proved that, it was dreadful!
The way I say it , is that Kim's Tailz image has changed a lot , but I don't really care as long as they are still killer live - and they are!!
I saw Steevi's Tailz at JB's in Dudley and they were abysmal, the whole crowd thought so, they were supported by Robin Black and he totally blew them off the stage in every way possible
Steevi and Ace do look far better, but how can you say they do not have the song writing capabilities, have you not heard their new samples?
You have been refering to a 2 year old DEMO of really bad sound quality, have you not heard any of the demos from the Kim camp that have been doing the rounds on Ebay for years????????
I cannot comment on Kim & Co live these days, i lost interest in them some years back, when i last went to see them, they were still using backing tapes - thats not what i call a " killer LIVE performance" !!!!!!!!!Sorry
[img]confused.gif[/img]
I have heard Steevi's demo's yeah! The first song is good but the second one is awful, Kim's demo's that have been going around are years old and I actually quite like them anyway!
As for the backing tapes thing, I don't have a problem with that , as it enhances the live performance - if you don't think most bands use them in some way , you are seriously mistaken!!

Maybe part of this whole problem, is the innane
way people are catagorizing that anything which
isn't 'glam' is 'grunge'. This sounded pro-
posterously simplistic when 4-year-olds were saying
it 15 years ago. No offence, like. [img]wink.gif[/img]
D.
I gotta be honest I saw the Band at the demoiltion Ball, & thought they were Great!!!! I now wanna travel and see Steevi's version but as they WON'T come to Cardiff I'm gonna have to travel to Rock city to see them... Hopefully they will rock too.... Just remember 2 version of 'tailz is better than NONE!
Ha, only just found this board. There's only ONE version of the Tailz for me and that's the one with Pepsi & Co. Why Steevi wants to call his band Tigertailz seems a mystery to me. Hes done some decent tunes with his own band so why not continue with that.? Ill listen to both new albums when their out but will only buy the Pepsi one, nearly all the songs are new apart from one or two.
As for the image, yep this needs work but I notice the pic above is a backstage pic from their recent Demolition Ball gig, a simple snapshot, the promo pics look cool to me, particularly with the band being 40+. Image is obviously part of the Tailz but the Kim version tunes are simply better than the Steevi version to me, but its a perference thing and I wish em both the best
Hey Dudes, just to let you know that when Ace got fired from the Tails, me and he started a band together. The outcome waz one aptly named .. "the U.K Killing Machine.." We were together for over a coupla years, doing live shows and Recordin' sessions for new material. I'll post some pikkies soon, and some Killer video up aswell if anyones interested?, will have to be when i get my sh*t sorted out tho.
On a personal note, I m really pleazed for them all, especially 'Dad'(Ace..) its been a long time coming, and i know from living with "Ace" for over a coupla years, considering the devastaing tragedy of the death of his daughter, he pined for the TT reunion every day i worked alongside him, shit hot drummer tho' .. tought him everthing i know.. (fanarrrrrr)
(IF YOU DO LOOK IN ON US 'DAD' .. LOVE TO YOU AND KELLY, thanks for the last piks, she's a sweety. Now .. wheres my freebies!!! X )

Welcome to the board Dude!
I think people - Brits, at least - find the whole
'who has (legal, ethical) rights to the name'
issue really limp, petty and distastefully
reeking of desperatism and Britain's piss-stained
cabaret circuit, is because it reminds them of
has-been farts like David Van Day fighting over
the Bucks Fizz name.
Whichever version of Tigertailz people take
seriously, is continuously devalued by the other's
existence.
