Stephen apparently has pretty much obliterated his vocal chords so can't belt it out anymore according to his book.

Right I've finished Stephen Pearcy's book which is definitely more about him than Ratt. I'm surprised he made it so far through life. He seemed destined to get killed, kill himself through excess or piss everyone in the world off to the point where someone would murder him! I have to take my hat off to him for his determination in the early days but it sounds like he caught lead singers disease pretty quickly and became an ass hole and it was so sad to read about what happened to Robbin Crosby which i had no idea about

That sounds better than the album version!

Not the only one Geoff. I like it too

He certainly sounds less committed than his hey day.

No worries, glad you got them chap!

I agree with Faster Pussycat. The debut was brilliant back in the day. Loved Cathouse and Babylon!

That's interesting Simo, not heard anything prior to Only by Night.

Good question. There isn't much info out there other than infighting and record label issues. Somebody somewhere knows

Good point, he doesn't mention much about the writing process or the music itself much. Still loving the tales of excess and debauchery though Ah so Paul Stanley's book is a good read then? good because i have it queued up next

I don't get much time to read so i'm only about half way through Simo. I'm enjoying it so far. I love to hear about the tales of life on the sunset strip. Was it the writing or the people you didn't like Simo. I must re-read Crue's book too. It's been a similar amount of time since i read it the first time too!

Nice find!

Galneryus are amazing! Some of the guitar pieces are definitely worth listening to. I like that Seikima II track too.

I went through a period of not liking Livin' On A Prayer but i'm mellowing in my old age and so like it again.

I agree with Slaughter, Alannah Myles and Thunder but i'm not sure about Poison. I really like Flesh & Blood.

Great voice that.
