For so many years that album was just the song you posted, "Alive and Kickin'," "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind," and, of course, "To Be With You." That's all that ever came to mind when I thought of Mr. Big, really, for a long time. Those were the songs that always made the playlists. 

Then two years ago, I believe, I threw it on, because it came up in conversation, and I wanted to give it a fresh listen. And holy fuck! I was absolutely dumbfounded. How did I not recognise the greatness of the remaining tracks?

It hit the hardest with this song. It's pretty much everything I want in my Melodic Hard Rock!

Went and see two  gigs that Eric, when first time  he came to Australia. Had Stormfront backing as backing band.

 

Got to meet him after the gig, he was kind enough to sign my CDs covers of "Sucker " Mr Big s/t and TMG the band he Jack Blades played. Asked my name and address, and would sent out a t - shirt of the tour. Yes did arrive 2 months after tour.

I hear you man, I share a similar story with that album. I knew the more obvious tracks but it wasn’t until a few years later that I really appreciated the full release. So awesome!

Killer disc...

 

 

 

I've always loved "Knocked Down"

The "Mariah" version is pretty good too.  ;)

You know I use to play a song from these guys on a radio show I did, I had an awesome program director who just ordered all sorts of shit and we'd sit at the station and just fucking blow through stacks of discs, and this was one of them, the song was fucking mind blowing, it was Heartache Breakdown, and it got good response too, dude has an enormous voice, almost sounds like it could be a black dude singing rock, that song was fucking huge.

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.

      Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger
