Popular Post sword&tulipz Posted November 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2013 Great performance of "used to love her" at the whiskey club in 1988.This was a surprise appearance after their first year of touring the Appetite album, which had three huge hit singles when they played this 1/10/88 gig. They showed up to help fight a lame lawsuit against Ruben at Rock City News, the Hollywood rock mag that helped a lot of people then. (I was a contributing writer with the byline of Phantom.) Adler was "sick" and didn't make it. Also on the bill was Faster Pussycat, Cathouse, The Zeros, D'Molls and Funhouse. Vince Neil came out to sing FP's encore. He was a pretty successful guy at this point and it showed when he stood beside this newer batch of L.A. rockers. This was a little bigger than the average show, but it's still a good representation of how this part of the scene looked, sounded and felt on any given night. (Tom Cruise wasn't a rocker and he was never seen at any rock shows.) MC Riki Rachtman wasn't a TV VJ yet, he was owner of The Cathouse, where FP was the ongoing house band (and singer Taime Downe was Riki's co-partner). The Cathouse is where throngs of stripper gals went to dance to hard rock songs on Thursday nights and rocker guys showed to score. These dudes would never be seen with their long hair in a mainstream pop dance club playing Michael Jackson--but at the Cathouse, some would even dance!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkmiXmM4I1s 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Paradise Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Really awesome! They were magic! I wish I had gone on one of these shows in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aranrod Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Really awesome! They were magic! I wish I had gone on one of these shows in the 80sSo do I. I so wish I could've seen that show. Yeah, the sheer magic. But the Whiskey was a bit too far away for me. They performed in my country in 1987, Amsterdam. I didn't know about it as there was hardly any publicity. So they played for a a crowd of 65 (!) people. When I found out I was pulling my hair!! What a missed chance, only 65 people in the audience!

sword&tulipz Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Ive obviously seen Axl wearing the police hat many times before, but didnt really notice the handcuffs in his belt before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Another video that shows the power this band used to have. Sorry, but they don't have a fraction of this anymore. Its a band that cannot "feel" the music this way and a singer that can't sing anywhere near this amazing anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
