I'd be curious to hear any demos or bootlegs, pre-record deal. Or some of the albums from their reunion in the mid-00s, which seem to have some good ratings on RYM.
But some of those glam anthems, like "C
umin' Atcha Live" actually sound more Quiet Riot than Poison, or maybe Def Leppard with the balls of
Too Fast for Love-era Motley Crue, so I'm not knockin' the band, I just don't see them as quite top shelf as a whole.
They were perhaps the first wave of glam bands who were taking a step back from all the hair spray and vapid trash that was going on around them from the second-wave wannabes. A precursor to bands like Guns N Roses I suppose (though I'd gladly take them over GNR any day of the week.)
Oh, and I've finally updated the index, so aside from the Tesla entry it is now current again.
