Used to laugh, but now it seems pretty good

You used to have bad taste.

that Sleeze Beez song played at my wedding.

That Sleeze Beez video was shot in Tampa Theater but I did not make the final cut, the bastards!!!!

Roxx Gang was local boys and live they were great, their sole label major album, major disappointment.

Most of those other bands I never cared for and still don't

Still laughing.....although it's more of a pitiful laugh than a jovial one.

My laughing point back then was the band names in general, so I never really payed enough attention to actually listen to the music. It is not reinventing the wheel or anything but also not as bad as some or most... mileage may vary of course

The only band in that batch that I ever dug much was Shotgun Messiah. Roxx Gang were OK, the rest are mediocre (at best).

I walked out on Roughhouse once when they played L'amour in Brooklyn. They were godawful. I think we made it thru about three songs before my friends and I mutually agreed that it was time to bail.

I like all of those bands. Second-wave (maybe third-wave) glam that was well played and produced. Spread Eagle in particular were excellent.

Ok stuff, some nostalgia factor plays in now.

Out of that crop I especially like Spread Eagle and Sleez Beez

I avoided that stuff like the plague.

You elitist you.

Watched the first video. After it was done, this popped up. Nice!

i like most of them. The Roxx Gang turned into Mojo Gurus which have some good albums.

I like all of those bands, though Shotgun Messiah are my favorites.

Icon was another second tier band that I like some of their stuff.

Here's another lesser known band:Ivory Tower

Reminds me a little of Leatherwolf.

I dig every band that has been listed or video'd here.

There are a few bands that fall into the sleaze/glam/L.A. category that I don't like...but not many, as far as the actual 80s/early 90s bands are concerned.

Shotgun Messiah is the only one that I care much for these days, but going to different rock clubs back in the day, I'm sure I've heard more than my share of those songs/bands. They were fine for the time, but I just don't get any spark from that kinda music these days.

Getting soft in your old age are ya?

Another lesser known rock band from Sweden-220 Volt

We all know about 220 Volt, Masquerade, Pole Position, Trash, etc. TNT kicks all of their arses.

I don't know. Masquerade were probably one of the best of the melodic rock bands, in my opinion. There were like 3 bands called Masquerade, but I assume we are talking about the same one.
