i read somewhere that that they have many unreleased songs laying around, hopefully they will be released someday!

Hot Boy was basically a one man studio project with a bunch of well known musos filling in & that main person is well known in real estate circles in Portland Oregon.

 

I wonder if there any footage of Hot Boy live around the local scene, I wouldn't be surprised to know none exist because the band never played live.

I'm not surprised they didn't tour. Can you imagine going home & telling your missus that you're going out to see a band called HOT BOY play?

Well on the forum selection page, I saw this and it made me laugh:

We had a semi-lengthy discussion on the subject several years ago on the album page. I even spoke to the drummer, and we were going to meet and discuss the entire project at length, but it just didn't happen.

 

I still live near Poretland (have most of my life) and purchased the CD new back in about 1991 from a little place called Locals Only (all Portland area musicians). Anyway, back in the late 90's I traded a few used copies I found around town to PJ (remember him) and he sold them for a rather large bounty. After that I continued to look and was able to locate two more used copies. I sold one to a guy from Japan for $399.00, and another (lesser quality copy) to someone else in Japan for like $250.00. Neither lasted on ebay more than about one hour.

 

Those of you who haven't been around these parts forever, or ebay since its inception might think I'm bullshitting, but I'm not, not one bit. There were times back in about 1997 or 1998 rare 80's rock and metal CD's were selling for $500.00 to $1,000.00 and up ON A DAILY BASIS on ebay (PJ made a KILLING back then). CD's like Stryper TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL (Japan), Chastain RULER OF THE WASTELAND (Japan) Apocrypha FORGOTTEN SCROLL (Japan) and many many, MANY more were setting records each and every day.

 

Anyway, from what I gather Scream (vocals) was the only "real" member of HOT BOY, and the other guys were local hired musicians. If you check out the video for YOUNG, WILD AND FREE on ebay, notice the lead singer is NOT the same guy as the one on the CD cover. But that's another story :)

 

I actually have at least 5 or 6 sealed copies of BARELY LEGAL on cassette tape. You think the CD is rare, has anyone else ever seen a copy of the cassette? Not that rare necessarily means valuable... ahh, you know what I mean.

Actually, that is me on the CD and in the video. The drummer is the same too.

Cheers!

    • First song I ever heard by D.A.D. was ZCMI which was playing on an interview section of one of the Hard and heavy VHS magazine tapes. It was enough for me to go out and buy No fuel.
    • For real! I'm definitely grateful for Spongebob introducing me to this banger!
    • Well it definitely motivated Spongebob  
    • I love motivational hair metal songs, so I figured I'll create a thread for people share them. Here are a few of my favorites: "Don't Surrender" by Mercury   "Overnight Sensation" by Firehouse   "Sweet Victory" by David Glen Eisley and Bob Kulick    
    • New album out January 24. From Pride & Joy Music: UK guitarist and songwriter Neil Fraser previously has worked/recorded with the likes of TEN, Rage of Angels/Ged Rylands (Tyketto), Tony Mills (TNT, SHY). Trishula started out as Neil’s solo project back in 2015.    Fraser had previously worked with Welsh vocalist Jason Morgan in the band Rage of Angels, so Jason was Neil’s first choice for lead vocal duties when it came to assembling the band members for Trishula. It took another 4 years of song writing from 2015 before the debut album ‘Scared to breathe’ was released in 2019. Whilst recording the debut, the UK based group were joined by Neil’s long-time friend and MAGNUM keyboard player Rick Benton and bass player Dan Clark from the Rebecca Downes Band. One year after the release of the debut, Trishula released their second album ‘Time waits for no man’ in 2020. It was at this point that Neil Ogden (DEMON) became their new drummer. A third album, ‘We all fall down’, was released in 2022.   The brand new fourth CD is titled ‘Becoming the enemy’ and the first one to be released on the band’s new label Pride & Joy Music.
    • My introduction to the band...way back when  
    • Well that took far too long to kick in for me,its ok and he has an amazing voice...just wish he'd get a great song given to him again  
    • This one popped up in my rotation today as it does frequently because I fucking love this track.  It contains killer lines like, "From the pale lips of the youth who lay", "After dark is the game I play" and "I hit the sack when the Sun's coming back". I've also added a video of an acoustic performance I came across years ago by some young "buskers", which is AWESOME! I wonder how many of you know this classic from the lines above before clicking on the "hidden content"? I would guess most.      
    • Robban Back was their studio drummer
