Yep, very cool book. Got it from Hot Topic after Billy Blade posted about it. Picked up a Poison-"LWTCDI" t-shirt too!
Hopefully, somebody who was around the scene at that time, and collected everything will stumble across this site and fill both of our wish lists!! Yeah right... [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]
Your Hot Topic has shirts like that??? Heck man, mine only has Nu Metal or Punk. A few of the Punk shirts are O.K., but that is about it.
Now, if I wanted to wear all the latest in Slipknot fashion, I would be styling!!!
Actually I got it from the online Hot Topic. I believe our Hot Topic is just like your Hot Topic....full of Slipknot/Nu Metal crap.
There was the first Motley Crue album t-shirt on the website too, at one time. I know you'll want that one. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Actually, though, if I remember right, they had quite a few that I know you'd be interested in. I think there was a Hanoi Rocks one. I'll have to find that web address again. Where's Billy?
Carl, here ya go. Actually there is no Hanoi, but I pulled up a maust have for you. If you hit the drop down menu, it will list all the bands they have.

Filthy Rittz
48 Crash
Knucklehead
Broken Glass
My Favorite Martians
Charm School Dropouts
VVSI
Bang Bang
Halloween
Raggady Ann
Whore
Darling Cool
Barbie
Hollywood Hopscotch
Love Razors

******sorry to bust in on your post like that, but hell, while people are scurrying about to see if they can help you out, they might as well check for me too. LOL!

LMFAO!!!...yes I did get from the Hollywood Rock book...hahaha...Was looking thru my copy and put a list of what I am looking for.
By the way Dan...remember that band BANG BANG that I've been alawys looking for and I remember seeing a video on MTV and Night Flight...but that band is in the Hollywood Rocks book on page 164 top left...they had that Poison/Duran Duran look.
They sure looked cool though, huh Sandi?!?
Sandi, do you know if any of the bands Raggz and I mentioned recorded anything? I have a few that I'm sending Raggz from his list, but since all we're going from is pics of flyers, neither of us have any idea if any of them recorded anything.
Thanks,
Dan
Marc, are we talking the Funhouse that had the album out with Y.R.S, One Funhouse etc on? All i have iz the album. Again, Motorcycle Boy... no demoz but i have the `Popsicle` album.
Wasn't Dezi in a band called Funhouse at one point. He sent me a tape i'll have to dig it out. From what I remember it was great blues based rock.
Yeah, Dezi's was Funhouse too. His reminded me of The Scream, with Corabi. Raggz is talking about a different one. There may have been 3 bands with that name actually, because I don't think the ones that released an album were sleaze.
Raggz,
Just so you know, Ruby Rockets never recorded in a studio. They were one of those infamous Hollywood glam bands that got together and broke up while most people cool breakfast. They played a couple shows and put out a two song live cassette, which is decent, but not great. Definately one of those bands that looked WAY cooler than they sounded...
The singer of the band went on to be in Toffee, a pretty cool Black Crowes-ish sort of band in the mid-90's...If anyone has that stuff, I'd like to get copies of it...
Sandi
<font size="3" face="Arial">Ahhhh, Dezi's Funhouse!!! I liken them more to Faces and Mott The Hoople. Fans of those bands would love that Funhouse! Brilliant stuff, and the guitarist Bryn went on to form the brilliant Flipp!!! But Funhouse was easily one of the best straight up RnR bands to exist.Quote:

RATTLESNAKE SHAKE - they had a 4 tx. release in 1990 on Monster records(the same label that put out the Swingin' Thing and Taz stuff).
HAP HAZZARD - 1994 release (check out www.heavyharmonies.com for more info on this and the Rattlesnake Shake)
VVSI - i had their tape at one time "No Ace At Hand" was the name of it...not really impressed, more on the hard rock-ish side if i remember correctly...i know they had a song called "lion's mane" on that tape.
ST. VALENTINE - i had the 1987 demo they did with Dana Strum...not really my style....kind of light-weight with the keyboards and such...more in the AOR sound.
cateyez **
Here are the bands that I know of on some level...
- St. Valentine
Put out several decent demos, one produced by Dana Strum
- Filthy Rittz
This was the pre-Blackboard Jungle band. They recorded a demo, but I've never encountered anyone that had it. If you have any luck, let me know...
- Ultra Pop
This is Lizzie Grey of London and Spider & Snakes fame. They put out two full-length albums, both of which are very cool, in the T-Rex-ish vein of glam...
If you find out about any others from your lists, let me know guys...
What about the DumDums? They looked like Trash Brats, but I've never seen anything from them...
Sandi
What are the names of the Ultra Pop albums?
The first Ultra Pop album was self-titled, the second one was called "Adventures In Fantasy"...
