No doubt about it, Phil and co. Kick major ass!!! I've got 9 of their albums, and I can't get enough.... :lol:

L.A. Guns, Cocked & Loaded, and Hollywood Vampires being my favorites....

Vicious Circle, Tales from the Strip, Man in the Moon, and Waking the Dead aren't bad...

And Rip the Covers off is a decent covers album...

Do yourself a favor, stay away from American Hardcore....absolute garbage! :wink:

I LOVE Phil's style, and Tracii's playing....some of my favorites are:

Electric Gypsy
Gypsy Soul
Never Enough
Kiss my Love Goodbye
Crystal Eyes
It's Over Now
Why ain't I Bleeding
Kiss of Death
(Can't Give You) Anything Better than Love
Don't Look at me That Way
Don't you Cry
Showdown(Riot on Sunset)
17 Crash
Rip and Tear
Sleazy Come Easy Go

Never got to see them live.... :(

What did a ticket to this stellar show cost ya, 4.50 plus fees? I would hope you would just go for the Scorps, and not bother with the other shit acts.

I know but i'm saying if you were to pay it wouldn't be 85 bucks. Seems kinda pricey to me for an 8 band show

Anything over 85 CENTS seems too pricey to you, unless its one of these with free refills

Right on, S2M! Obviously I'm a fan, mainly thru seeing them live. Last weekend sealed it for me and I'll post a vid soon. Really just starting to get into their music and I have Cocked, Waking (excellent!!!), and just ordered Tales. Love the song "Don't You Cry".

I used to see more copies of Hollywood Vampires in used CD stores than I could count, figured it must suck and never grabbed a copy. Now I don't see them anymore.

Always had a curiosity about them since hearing they had a bass player named Johnny Crypt, LOL! Pictured some dude with a Slash-style top-hat and black fingernail polish. :)

Agreed! I used to have it and can't remember much about it, but that it was cool. I used to chat with Josie sometimes while he was asleep.

LOL, nah - both of them used to chat on AOL. They were both pretty cool, and he'd just written a book about his experiences (the word "Crickets" was in the title). Interestingly, Stacey Blades has a similar book out, plus he released an instrumental CD with rocking classical tunes (Beethoven, Mozart, etc). It sounds great!
