I've left off Original Sin on purpose as from what I understand it is only a collection of old demos.

 

For me it definitely has to be Bezerk (highlighted by Love Bomb Baby) followed by the more agressive Wazbones.

 

Bezerk by a mile!

And it's a bootleg "to boot" ....

 

All the albums are great but 'Bezerk' is the standout. B - 2.0 is pretty great too. Stateside release in September.

Young and Crazy is a classic, that's my first, however, Bezerk has reached classic status as well, and I often like to treat Tigertailz as the obscure version of Van Halen...being that I like the original singer a little more (ever so slightly), but damn, the second singer was great too, completely different sound though.

Really underrated band IMO. A consistently good catalogue. I went "Bezerk" (& voted for it too...). "Love Bomb Baby" is THE glam anthem IMO...

Seems like everybody's in love with "Love Bomb Baby" huh? I must admit, when I first heard it I didn't like that track, a tad too bubble-gummy for my ears at first, but I've since gotten used to it and have grown to really like it even though it's not my fav off of Bezerk. I moreso love "Livin Without You" from Jaimz era tailz, not to mention "Star Attraction", "Shoot To Thrill", and even "Young And Crazy" the song...

Couldn't agree more. "Love Bomb Baby" perfectly encapsulates what glam/hair-metal is all about.

I'm going to have to go with Mr Ripper here. I like some of the tracks on 'Bezerk' too - 'Love bomb baby' and 'Let your mama dance' being 2 of the most perfectly executed glam anthems of all time, and there are a few other killers too... it's a good album, yes, but there are also fillers and those terrible, terrible vocals. Always loved Tigertailz, but I hate that dude's voice.

 

As for Stevie St Jaimz, I quite like his voice, and 'Young and crazy' is so damn consistent it's not funny. All the songs the Ripper mentioned, and pretty much all of the songs on the disc are great, most notably the ending ballad, 'Fall in love again'. Is that the title? Either way, the song is stunning. I am a huge fan of this disc and to be honest it pretty easily got my vote. 'She's too hot' kicks my ass too. :)

Agreed Geoff, that ending track, the ballad u speak of is also highly underrated IMO. Simply a killer ballad, one of the best really, I believe it's called "Fall In Love Again". I'm a fan of the whole thing, and I almost forgot the awesome "Shameless" lol, "down on her knees, eager to please, cuz she's shameless!"

 

Jaimz iz it for me when it comez to the tailz!!!!!

 

:banger:

What the heck is You Lookin At Me? I never even heard of that one. For me it's a tie between Young & Crazy and Bezerk. Something about Young & Crazy just seemed so cool. I should listen to it again. At first I didn't even like Bezerk. The change in styles between those two albums was a bit hard to take at first. Later I started liking Bezerk after I found some mp3's on the net while at school. What still impresses me is the fact that the band Oney sounds almost exactly like the first Tigertailz album. The singer of the band even said they covered She'z Too Hot. If you've never heard of Oney before you should find their stuff.

Bezerk for Me!! With Wazbones a close second.. But yea Bezerk is an Essential Glam album!!!! :headbanger:

 

 

I like Bezerk as well but they are very different albums. I love the darkness of Wazbones. The Japan version is even better w/ five bonus tracks. I played this cd for a solid 6 months straight when I first picked it up. I drove up to (my one & only trip) Impulse Records and bought it with a buddy. They were playing Belly of the Beast and I was like what is that??? Very cool...it was my intro to the band actually. Me & a buddy blew about $300 each there that day and drove about 12-13 hours round trip but it was worth it. It was also my intro to Harem Scarem. Boy did that get expensive :)

    • When you say original, you mean this?  
    • W.A.S.P. - Inside the Electric Circus  W.A.S.P. - The Headless Children  Pop Will Eat Itself - Dos Dedos Mis Amigos (Remaster) / A Lick of the Old Cassette Box Ultrasound - Ultrasound  Red Sun Rising - Thread Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia 
    • It's so much better to listen to the original, Erik has done some great covers, but this is a miss imo.
    • This made my recommended list for last year. Far removed sound/style wise from the awesome debut album and only one of the original lineup is featured,  but very very good all the same. 
    • This was released last year and pretty good it is.   From Andy Rethmeier's Youtube channel: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... well not quite that far away, Hartlepool in County Durham to be precise, a band of rare quality was formed. That band was called White Spirit and after their debut single, "Backs To The Grind" was released on the legendary Neat Records in 1980, the major labels came knocking. They were eager to snap up a band that had far more to offer than the majority of NWOBHM bands that they were lazily bracketed with. MCA Records won the race to sign White Spirit and with a line-up of Phil Brady, Graeme Crallan, Janick Gers, Malcolm Pearson and Bruce Ruff, their self-titled debut album was released later in 1980 to great acclaim. A constant schedule of touring saw the band build up a large and loyal following, but changes in personnel saw Janick Gers join Ian Gillan, to be replaced by Mick Tucker. Toby Sadler took over bass duties from Phil Brady and Bruce Ruff made way for an unknown singer, called Brian Howe. The new and improved White Spirit entered the studio to work on their second album with then Gillan keysman Colin Towns at the production helm. Alas, the album was never completed, the band broke up and musicians went their separate ways. Mick Tucker joined Tank, later followed by Graeme Crallan. Sadler slid easily into Airrace. Mal Pearson stepped away from music for a spell before returning to action with legends The Sweet. Singer Brian Howe crossed the Atlantic and became frontman for Ted Nugent, before achieving mega platinum success as the replacement for Paul Rodgers in Bad Company. So White Spirit were seemingly consigned to music history, with former members proceeding to forge impressive careers built on this promising foundation.  Four decades on and the location of these 2nd album sessions remained a mystery. Presumed to have been consigned to a skip, as was the fate of so many priceless mastertapes carelessly discarded over the years. The day following Brian Howe’s tragic death from a heart attack in May 2020, Tucker and Pearson were on the phone reflecting on those heady White Spirit days. The missing tapes were once more discussed, but still neither had any idea where to find them. Fate stepped in, and whilst preparing to relocate to France, Mal Pearson was rifling through his furniture in storage when he found a dusty old bedside cabinet. Inside were four sets of tapes. One labelled Chiswick Studios – White Spirit. This was it. The one they’d all thought was lost for ever. The tape was handed over to Conquest Music boss and Tank guitarist Cliff Evans. He arranged for the delicate and risky process of baking the tapes to preserve and retrieve the old recordings and transfer them to digital. Successful as the process was, the sound quality of some elements of the tracks were just not good enough for today’s ears, so Tucker & Pearson decided to replace all of the musical accompaniment with a stellar line-up of players. Neil Murray (Whitesnake) and Russell Gilbrook (Uriah Heep) made up the rhythm section, with the guitars and keyboards replaced by Mick and Mal.   Tracklisting: 1. Right Or Wrong (lead vocals – Jeff Scott Soto) 2 .Runaway (lead vocals – Brian Howe) 3. The Dice Rolls On (lead vocals – Lee Small) 4. Lady Of The Night (lead vocals – Brian Howe) 5. Gotta Get Out (lead vocals – Brian Howe) 6. Better Watch Out (lead vocals – Jeff Scott Soto) 7. Don't Say No (lead vocals – Lee Small) 8. Wait A Little Longer (lead vocals – Brian Howe) 9. Holy Water (lead vocals – Steve Overland) 10. Rock And Roll (Is Good For You) (lead vocals – Brian Howe)
