Faster Pu$$ycat anyone?

Any fans of this Southern California sleazy band? Favorite albums? Songs?

I liked their debut and Wake Me When It's Over. I had Whipped on cassette and didn't care for it. Never upgraded it to cd. I haven't heard that one in years though. I absoutley loved their cover of "You're So Vain". Since then, I know Taime Downe has switched gears musically for awhlie and then came back around to their sleazy roots, but I haven't heard them.

Many moons ago, my buddies band, The Outlaw Pandas (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=39758862), played our block party and I got up with them to sing "Bathroom Wall".

I liked their first album, but never really followed them afterwards.

They were god-awful when I saw them open for KISS on the "Revenge" tour, so that probably didn't help.

I never saw them live, but I remember a buddy telling me that he saw them at a small club in Philly (anyone remember The Empire?) and they were terrible live.

I liked that song "Bathroom Wall" alot. I saw them once around '88 and they were ok, don't remember who they were opening for.

yeah "Bathroom Wall" was good as was "Don't Change That Song".... I had that first disc....

Got their first one on vinyl, I like them, but haven`t heard anything of their later stuff.
Bathroom wall is a cool song

I could live without em'.Had more success probably than they deserved.I can think of about a 100 or so bands in the same genre who were more deserving or superior to FP.

LOVE the Pu$$ycat....


first disc is killer....and "Wake Me..." i really good but needs a few listens to get into as it was a bit different than the debut...

"Whipped" is actually pretty solid considering the turmoil in the industry at that time..

THEN Taime decided he wanted to go goth/industrial (albeit the debut NEWLYDEADS cd is killer!) and things went south from there.....

That last offering being a steaming turd platter....

sigh....

I dig the first disc alot.

Their cover of You're so Vain is pretty sweet as well.

+1, one of my fave songs by them.
Like their first 3 albums and also have a japanish mini cd and a couple of their singles/maxis. Still i think that LA GUNS were and are better then FASTER Pu$$ycat.

They're a fun Aerosmith raunch driven band, but they were a bit of a 'hollywood tease' to me. Some good songs and potential but ultimately disappointing, much like L.A. Guns. Theres a reason Guns N' Roses broke away from the pack and Faster Pu$$ycat, L.A. Guns and JetBoy became also rans.

There was a band from New York called Mr. Nasty that released an album in 1990 called .38 Caliber Kisses, that beats Faster Pu$$ycat at their own game. In that they sound exactly like them but wrote better songs! Get on it.

I have the 2nd MR NASTY cd and it's awesome....I've never been able to locate a copy of their other one.....sigh....

Sorry guys, had to change the spelling of Pu$$ycat to include the $$
instead of ss. It was catching porn filters and causing the page to be
unviewable by some people.

Heres a promo video of Mr. Nasty back in the day for their song Kandyluv. I don't know why the made the promo for the weakest song on the album.

And Shiney $10 for a CD or 73c for a cassette perhaps?

I like the first one. They always remined me of a GnR and Poison mix with a heavy dose of Aerosmith.

My favorite song by them is House of Pain.

I liked their first two albums. Didn't care for Whipped. I caught them live a couple of years ago one of Poison's summer tours. The band were horrible and looked like Faster Nazicat. Absolutely terrible!

Faster Pu$$ycat has always reminded me a lot of Dirty Looks. They have some good songs. I've got the s/t and Wake Me When It's Over.

I like their 1st 2 cds and own them.Could care less about them nowadays.

The stuff in the 80's was really good. However since then they have had a major change. The lead singer looks like Marilyn Manson now and is completely androgenous and flamboyant. I seen them live 2 years ago with Bang Tango, and Steve Adlers band. (Joe Leste from Bang Tango) ended up singing since the singer never showed up for Steve. Then Faster Pu$$ycat came on and after about 3 songs I left they was so bad.

I'm sure the Pu$$ycat guys would find that very appropriate.

When I think of this band first things comes to mind Hair band invasion..
