Sleaze Rock/Metal

I'm looking for people to listen to some of the best releases/bands from this genre.

Sitting here listening to one of my favorites of the genre Dirty Looks - Cool from the Wire. I love bands like Dirty Looks, Dangerous Toys, Cinderella, Kix, Broken Teeth, Britny Fox, etc. and am looking for bands like (and including) these.

You need to get Vain - No Respect. You will thank me when you do.

My faves:
L.A. Guns - S/T and COCKED AND LOADED

Love/Hate - BLACKOUT IN THE RED ROOM and WASTED IN AMERICA

Anything by the mighty KIX! (Best live band EVER, by the way!)

Quote :

L.A. Guns - S/T

The only one I like by them.

Why? I have their two best, Too Fast for Love and Shout At the Devil. What else to I need?

On a side note, Motley Crue would not fit into this category at all. They just don't have "that sound" like the bands I listed.

ult

yea i like COCK ROCK too. why not ? easy, simple, ...

I knew Shiney would come raging in here

Some of my faves;
Spread Eagle
Vains of Jenna
Love/Hate
Dangerous Toys
Bullets and Octane
Kix
Britny Fox
Tora Tora-they're kinda sleazy

I can agree with Tora Tora. Brought Wild America to work today.

Anyone like...
BROKEN TEETH
FUNNY MONEY
AMERICAN DOG

I only have one disc each by Broken Teeth and Funny Money (the S/T debut and STICK IT! respectively), they're both great. Funny Money pretty much picks up where Kix left off. Steve Whiteman still sounds great after all these years.

BULLETS & OCTANE are pretty good....


some others:


VAINS OF JENNA
PANZER PRINCESS
SHANGHAI
EVERY MOTHER'S NIGHTMARE
DIRTY PENNY
MAXIMUM
MACHINE GUN KELLY
THEE HYPNOTICS

Forgot about Every Mothers Nightmare.A couple more-Sleeze Beez and Junkyard

DIAMOND REXX for exemple.
Also THING´S YOU´VE NEVER DONE BEFORE by ROXX GANG, FATAL ATTRACTION by ADAM BOMB, and IN THE DYNAMITE JET SALOON by THE DOGS D´AMOUR are great sleazy albums from the 80s.

Mainly just Guns N' Roses. Never could get into the whole sub-sub-genre.

Star Star-TJ

Ma Kelley - Banned in America

Loud & Nasty.
.

Miss Crazy for sure.



The make-up is a bit silly, but I'm 99.9% positive that that—and the long sleeves—is just to hide the fact that the singer Marcus Allen Kristopher is actually Ronnie Borchert from Trixie.

Here's a download from a band called Levee. They recorded this album, broke up, and then released it through CD Baby (in the $5 section). I don't know if it's what you're looking for, because they have a bit of a southern style mixed with some 70s flare, but I think there's a nice sleazy feel to it, too. It's a great album, too. Here's a song from it:

Black Boots

Some great bands listed. I could rattle off a ton of weird and wonderful 'sleaze' rock n' roll bands from the late 80's and early 90's, but i don't think Ult would like them. But going by his list of reference bands he wants bands from the late 80's early 90's that play raunchy blues based hard rock with a big AC/DC influence running through them, so heres a list of such bands.

1. The Four Horsemen
Beg, steal or borrow a copy of Nobody Sait It Was Easy (1991), its essential. An authentic cult sleaze classic in its unabashed trip back to the glory years of the 70's. Simply put AC/DC meets Lynryd Skynryd with tendancies to go in the direction of the soulful blues n' roll of the Rolling Stones and Black Crowes. Singer Frank Starr sometimes singing like Jason McMaster of Dangerous Toys.

Listen to Tired Wings and Rockin' Is My Business

2. Circus Of Power
I know you have the live EP and Magic & Madness, but you really need the S/T debut from 1988. Big thunderous grooves with Lynryd Skynryd metallic slide guitar and a guy singing thats obviously channeling Jim Morrison but with more of a southern cajun thing going on.

Listen to Motor and Call Of The Wild

And i think its unanimous that ult needs the first two records by Love/Hate, so someone send him some cdr's.


.........And Shiney good call with the Black Halos, love that band. And of course Thee Hypnotics, 'Shakedown baby' http://vidsearch.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2185586

Thanks for all the suggestions.

The Circus of Power debut has been on my want list for years.

I have one of the Sea Hags albums on vinyl.

I'll look into Love/Hate.

Always liked Johnny Crash, Sweet F.A., and Trouble Tribe.

I took everyone's advice on Vain's No Respect, and that is really great. Everything everyone says it is.

Yep, amazing. How I never knew about this in 1989 is beyond me.

There is really not a clunker out of the entire VAIN catalog.....

Check Out Bullet Boys There Like A Sleazy Van Halen Whats Not To Love There

Can't believe no one has brought up D'Molls or D'Priest yet. Pretty Boy Floyd was total glam, but had a ton of sleaze to 'em.
