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?
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?
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.
Never knew Ginger was in the Throbs, was he singin, Guitar or Both.
He was also in Brides Of Destruction briefly
co-wrote a couple songs on the new CD...
He was running around the stage kind of confused. But he did have a guitar as well.
Yes they did have a glam sound I agree and they had the image. I have a picture here, but it is black and white and I have tried scanning it in, but it comes out very badly.
Hey, excuse me, but Ginger did have a black hair when he was in the Quireboys! And he was real good-looking glamster as well, with make-up and all. I dunno what happened. Ermh, he is quite an ugly bastard these days,hehe
<font size="4" face="Arial">Without a doubt they had a Glam sound on those demos. Plus when I first started hearing about them they were talked about in the "Glam circles" and many of us considered them in that realm. Heck, a member of TLB and Quireboys? They instantly get the "Glam" lable dropped on them.Quote:

<font size="4" face="Arial">I've got the 12" with Ginger on them, and in those he has red hair still. Do you have any pictures with him with black hair?Quote:
