RAIL and other one hit wonders

[tedvanfrehley]

Remember them from the Headbangers Ball back in the day? "1...2...3...4...What are we livin' for, Rock N Roll!" I have been trying to track a disc of theirs down on ebay. Hair metal flash in the pan, but a great song. Also, what about these guys....

KEEL
HELIX
HEAVEN
LILLIAN AXE
TRIXTER - Just kidding, I swear! Even I thought they were shit! hahaha

Keel-I was never a big fan. They have some excellent tracks. I think you have to sit through a hell of a lot of filler material though.
Helix! Loved their Wild in the Streets disc.
Heaven? That was the band with Gregg Guiffria? That was Angel wasn't it?! You mean Heaven's Edge? Lillian Axe is pretty good.
I actually saw Trixter live, they opened for Tha Scopians! On the Crazy World Tour. Give it to Me Good!

My friend usually has a couple different Rail discs up on eBay each week. With the re-issues don't think they are too hard to right now, Ted. They won an MTv battle of the basement bands or something didn't they? They won a record contract or something. I remember MTv playing the hell out of that video!

Those first couple of Keel albums were great, then they kinda changed trying to "make it".

How about these--

Killer Dwarfs
Black N Blue
Tora Tora

TORA TORA! "i'm puttin on my walkin shoooooooooes" they kinda reminded me a little of VH! In a wierd way...I like 'em. I love Black N Blue! Never really heard the dwarfs though

Black N Blue have a new release coming out in the next couple of months, can't wait for that. Ted, it's worth hunting down some Killer Dwarfs, very cool band! Stand Tall was my favorite album.

here's some more--

Autograph
Hurricane
Masi (remember "God Promised A Paradise"?)

What about...

Spread Eagle
and
Shotgun Messiah

Love the Shotgun of course, but I need to hear more Spread Eagle. I only remember that Switchblade song. They only had 2 albums right?

I've only been able to find two... but who knows? You find crap I've been searching for forever! Case in point... The Joneses, Vendetta, Detente.

Still remember the day I pulled out that Joneses album and asked if you had ever heard them.... you about shit your pants and said you'd been looking for it for years!

Anybody else here ever heard The Joneses - Keeping Up With The Joneses? Great rock in the vain of Hanoi and Aerosmith with some junkie punk thrown in the mix.
