Yeah they never quite captured that magic again did they? There's no love for Bang Tango around here then?

Ok what about Asia and Bang Tango? Did Asia peak on their debut and Bang Tango on Dancin' On Coals?

Nice guitar and vocal work in that one. Again i like the vibe of it.

They probably wore lipstick, but jeez, who did I see the other day... some European... got it - Easy Action, I think it was. The mega lite AOR band with Kee Marcello (who was later with Europe). I think most bands wore make-up back then, to some extent, thought definitely not to the degree that PBF did. I just never thought Vain's actual music was considered glam. As I said above, I don't think they sound anything like PBF, Poison, Tigertailz, Bang Gang, Big Bang Babies, Roxx Gang etc. etc. For me, Vain was always more "sleaze," if you want to sub-categorize. I'm not going to argue with the amount of make up PBF wore, that was the bench mark that no one else reached I remember the reaction the Vain tracks got when they were played in the clubs i frequented in my teens and they slotted nicely in to the rest of the glam tracks. In fact i seem to remember them getting a better reaction to the likes of Tigertailz and Poison etc. That's why i've always considered them glam. Every girl i knew back then seemed to have a No Respect poster above their bed! Good times!

Rocky IV and V watched this week. Better than i thought they would be.

How's it compare to their debut do you think? I listened to the debut this week and thought it was pretty good, not spectacular but good.

Listened to the new album a couple of weeks ago, the last two studio releases have been so disappointing Whatever sound they are striving for doesn't suit them at all. The last track i rate by them was on Secret Society

Not bad, i like the moody vibe to it and the build up through the song. It could have done with a solo though

My thoughts exactly...

Dyin for Love is indeed in my fav tracks playlist but i heard it on Crown Jewels

Are Vain glam? are you kidding? Davey Vain was more glam looking than any of the other lead singers of the time

Do you know if any of the tracks from Raw Thorns got finished. Never Enough is a class track. sorry, no i dont...... np Tim Feehan - Full Contact No worries, the quality may be poor but a couple of tracks from Raw Thorns regularly get played. Have yet to hear their s/t album. Killswitch Engage - Disarm The Descent Kiss - Sonic Boom Kiss - Monster Knock Out Kaine - House Of Sins L.A. Guns - L.A. Guns L.A. Guns - Cocked and Loaded

I forgot to say that's a great list Nightrain by the way It makes an outsider like me, being new to somewhere like this with people so focused on a particular era of great music, realise how much they missed back in the day and through the years!

Not bad at all

Jon Bon Jovi - The Power Station Sesions Journey - Escape Journey - Frontiers Judas Priest - Painkiller Katy Perry - Teenage Dream Katy Perry - Prism Kelly Osbourne - Shut Up

I must give it a re-listen. Haven't heard it since 2005 when they played Rock City with Enuff Z'Nuff and Bang Tango

There is a lot of stuff on there i've never heard of, like Evenrude. I'd put Vain above Motley Crue and Steve Stevens up with Pretty Boy Floyd. I'm pleased to see Danger Danger near the top. Great album

I've only heard I.C.U. but from those ratings it looks like they don't have a killer album in their discography

Lads music night with red wine. Hmm, this explains a few things Red wine is my tipple of choice. I drink beer through the week but you can't beat a good red wine no matter what the occasion and music sounds better on wine i reckon.

Fair point. Not so long ago there was a Star Wars convention in Lincoln and apparently Guido was the star there to meet. Star? really?

This is the craziest thread i've ever read! It's took all morning to read all 50 pages. It must have been a wild ride at the time and i can't believe he's gotten away with it.
