Anyone heard or got the new Tigertailz single/ demo King of the World / Tiger feet. Maybe someone has a MP3 of it kicking around.
What does anyone think about having 2 Tigertailz being around? Should one of em change the name?
Check em both out BelowSteevi Jaimz Tigertailz and Tigertailz
IMO Steevi Jaimz is the real Tigertail.Kims version could change their name.Imo.Imo.Imo
Don't you think it's apt that Tigertailz - i.e.
an image-conscious (let's say) band who peaked
around a decade ago, then disappeared for another
decade or so - should return in several different
incarnations? This is now glam rock de rigueur,
right? Once Jizzo fronted from Ratt, everything
is plausible.
I didn't know the Stevie Jaimz era of Tigertailz,
but after we (Ratpack) gigged with Kim and co. for the
first time, Kim lived up to his word, and attended
our own gig at Bogiez, Cardiff, several weeks
later, and the drunken swine give me a big bear
hug afterwards. Reason #1 I opt for Hooker.
Also, the Pepsi/Kim relationship stretches back
a lot further than Tigertailz, of course, and
to the Rankelson days (Kim on bass, Justin on
logo-design duties).
Stevie's flogging a dead horse. A Pepper, Hooker,
Tate Tigertailz wrote much better music than
other formations. Reason #2.
D.
At the time I preferred Kim's to Steevi's, but over the years looking back, I now prefer Steevi's. I have the tracks in question too.
Again, I prefer the Young And Crazy album. Kim always seemed like he was forcing a voice out, whereas Steevie just had it all. Yeah, he may have been a poor mans David Lee Roth, but he still had what it took to be a killer vocalist. Kim always seemed like a little kid trying to be tough, and it never worked, IMO. I like those album still, very much, but prefer what Steevie did, and would have loved to have heard him on Berzerk and Wazbones.
As for the new stuff, I have yet to hear either, but I have heard mixed on the Steevie stuff. Some people seem to LOVE it and others HATE it. But of the two bands, the Kim version is closer to the actual T-Tailz, IMO. Hell man, you have Pepsi and Jay in that one. I do believe that those are the two guys that were the music and image, right? But with those two and Kim, it is closer to any of the album that were actually named T-Tailz.
I was into both line-ups of the 'Tailz'.
Probably wouldn't of been a 2nd Tailz without the Steevi 'Tailz'.
Mind you now I am probably a little biased towards the Steevi Tailz now as looking back there was some History between us, although what can be said about Love Bomb Baby that hasn't been said already..... Brilliant!
I was more a bigger fan of the `Young & Crazy` era to be honest although even the Kim Hokker dayz were awesome, so i loved both. I support both bandz i guess and wish them both all the best.
KIM all the way!!!!! Bezerk was their best album.
I can't wait for the new Demoz cd and the cd of new material they are gonna put out not to mention the merchandise.
I think the Kim tailz version and songs were way superior.
After checking out the Kim Tailz on the website, I now have another couple "Holy Grail"s.
I really want to hear the demos with the other 2 singers now. They looked glam then too, and both apparently put out a demo. I'd love to get ahold of that stuff!!! Also, thinking about purchasing a T-shirt when they are available. I alwayz thought it was cool looking. I'd absolutely love a T-shirt from the Y&C dayz though!
I want the BEZERK or a WAZBONES shirt myself.
I never liked the Steevi Jaimz version of Tigertailz, but I thought they were great when Kim was in the band. Didn't rate Steevi's voice at all. Also, my first band supported one of Steevi's post-Tailz bands once and he treated us like crap, so fuck him.
That was my thing against Steevi too, his voice I just never really liked at all.
Tigger, I have the Bezerk and Banzai shirts, ner ner na ner ner! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I was at the Wazbones show but didn't get a shirt. Also had a white Love Bomb Baby t-shirt, and a TT Crazy Horse 'Hit the Dirt Suckerz and Start Saying Your Prayerz' t-shirt. But the only ones I'm certain I've still got is Berzerk and Banzai.
Give them to me Stacey [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I saw the love bomb shirt on Ebay once.....that damned thing went for almost 100 bucks. [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
Ummm....I guess that's a no then! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Stacey
I see from an old post that you might have a new Tigertailz EP called King Of The World which features;
King Of The World
Tigerfeet
Kill The Clown
I'd love to get a copy of this.
I believe that you can still get that thing from the Jaimez site. I think it just came out like a month or two ago.
That is unless you are shooting for the trade thingy...
Could be interested in a trade, but not sure what I might have.
Need to start knockin up some lists if I am gonna get in on this Trade thingy!!
Yup, I've got it. Will sort you out a copy.
PM me your details.
Thanks Stacey
I'll be in touch.
Gotta go now. work is over, going home now.
I like both versions but enjoy the Kim version slightly more. My two faves are Bezerk and Y&C. As for Steevi, i regularly play his album,"Damned If I Do.." since it's a great album. I would support both bands.
Stacey
The TT demo is growing on me. Love Tiger Feet.
I 'd love to hear another production of the demo. Great to hear some new stuff though. Still got the old TT sound.
I think the guitarist Joolz has already parted company. I dunno how long this version of TT is gonna be around. Steevi was getting a tad upset at the shows when kids kept yelling for Bezerk tracks, lol.
I remember supporting Steevi's Tailz at JB's last year. They only played 20 mins cuz Steevi got fed up with the Bezerk requests. Despite what ppl say about Steevi, he was really cool with me.
I'd support both line ups, cuz to me it sounds like completely different bands....just like the Shotgun Messiah albums.
But if both bands acknowledge each other, and back each other, why would you not be cool with both?
I would say both bands don't aknowledge each other but ignore each other... Steevi and Ace told the others that they had been asked to release a new album and asked them if they wanted to join them and they said no and so Steevi and Ace put it alive again by themselves without any help of the others and then later when the others realized that it would mean money then they also wanted to put alive Tigertailz again... that's not fair. Apart from that, the only reason why CLAWS OF SIN doesn't suppost the other Tigertailz is because we don't like that singer at all...while we consider Steevi one of the best glam metal vocalists ever if not the absolute best. Just a matter of taste...
Well, I agree that Steevi is better than Kim. But, if both bands kick out great tunes, more power to them both.
We can only support one Tigertailz and this one is the one of Steevi & Ace.
What Carl said here too.
I never hated Kim'z vocalz and thought he was a fucking amazing replacement for Steevi and Kim'z Tigertailz stuff smoked, but i have to admit to loving the early Tigertailz more... both great vocalists and both great versionz of Tigertailz in the past. I hope the future will bring more of the same [img]smile.gif[/img]

Got to agree with Carl and andi here. Both versions of the band were great however I also preferred Steevi as vocalist. I hope both versions do well. I first saw the Tailz in a shitty litle club in Birmingham but was blown away. Saw them with Kim also and loved that as well.
I also love that Bezerk but the albums after that one I only listened to them once. I'm sorry but I will never forget that Kim sang some songs of Steevi without his permission with the acknowledgement of Pepsi and Jay. BTW, The only one here who's still true to the origins of it all (M?tley Cr?e's Too Fast For Love) is Steevi and he has proved it during all his solo career. I'm sorry but I have to support my friend. That Kim and the others I don't even know them personally and if there has to be a legal fight and go to court 'cuz both Tigertailz with the same name cannot be out there then we have to decide which one we support. We have nothing against the other Tigertailz but only have our website to promote and support what we like and what we like is Steevi's way of writing songs and lyrics.
I am into both, but upon thinking about it Steevi was the one that cut it Live and was very entertaining.Young and Crazy could of been produced better though. Kim on the other hand was great on the Berzerk album but was not as good Live.
I thought Kim was great Live when i saw them [img]smile.gif[/img]
The Steevi new stuff seems to REALLY be splitting camps here! Some love it, some hate it, and there seems to be very little inbetween. I really need to get this stuff. I would look for it at my stores...but alas...computer is DEAD. Fucking karma.
OK I'll play my hand
Kim Hooker/Jay Pepper.Pepsi Tate/Ace Finchum
THAT'S Tigertailz!!!!!

I was introduced to the world of Tigertailz during the release of Bezerk!
I had to have more.
My friend played me Young and Crazy...I loved it also, but loved the raw sound that Kim could unleash from time to time.
Before the release of Banzai I remember getting ahold of the covers of Peace Sells and Creeping Death. Could not believe they had the balls to pull it off. Steevi Does not have the diversity to make such an attempt.
I was dissappointed when I first heard the Wazbonez stuff....but as some of you grow more and more affecionate towards Young and Crazy, That's how I feel about Wazbonez. What a greatly underappreciated album.
I've since heard the New Steev/Tailz stuff and must admit it turned my stomach.
Wish him well, but I'm rooting for Kim,Pepsi and Jay!
Checking out the song "King Of The World" now, thanks to Stacey. Ummm, you know you are in trouble when the weakest part of the song is the chorus. Boring. Ace sounds like he is on auto-pilot, and the music definetly is not the same band we know from before.
My complete judgement though is on reserve until I hear the rest of this stuff, and the new stuff from the other camp. But so far, I'll stick to The Riverboat Gamblers, and hope for some money soon to buy the Faces boxset. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Having heard that song tonight myself Carl(Thankz Stace!), i agree with you. And i too will hold out judgement until i hear the rest. I was SORT of expecting a return to the `Young & Crazy` era. That would have been ace, but oh well... i also won't pass any judgement until i hear the rest. Alwayz been a fan of Steevi'z stuff though [img]smile.gif[/img]
steevi's new stuff is ok but I would like to hear a better production on it!!!
