| Liked them back then, like them now. The e.p. before this one is top notch and sounds edgier than the Bob Rock produced s/t release. But it is hard to find. |

| Great band! The record company and promoters just couldn't figure out how to market them at the time. During an era of pretty boy hair bands, a band that looked like a biker gang just didn't fit in.
The S/T is their best IMO. _________________ "Don't reenact scenes from 'Platoon' with Charlie Sheen."

| I don't know too much about them but did get to see them open for KISS on the Hot In The Shade tour. They did put on a good show as I recall though. |

| I used to have 2 of their albums back in the day, the s/t debut and whatever the follow-up was. They did pretty decent biker bar-band rock. I ditched both albums some time ago, but I kinda wish I had the s/t album again. I'd probably appreciate it more now than I did at the time. | Quote: | | I have an Ace Frehley tribute album (SPACEWALK) where the singer for this band performs "Hard Luck Woman." |
That a real good tribute album. The lead singer (Ron something?) also had a brief role in the 2nd Terminator film. He's one of the bikers at the beginning that hits a naked Arnold with a pool cue.

Why would "Hard Luck Woman" be on an Ace Frehley tribute album? |

Beats me. I've often wondered that myself. Maybe he wrote it? _________________ "Boys, set the terror level at code brown, 'cause I need to change my pants." -- President Hathaway, "Monsters vs. Aliens"

Good point. Sounds weird now that you mention it. I'll have to assume he wrote it. There are a coupla other KISS songs on the same album that Ace didn't sing on, but he wrote (Cold Gin, etc).
EDIT: Well, there goes that theory...
| Quote: | | The song was originally written by Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley as a possible track for Rod Stewart, but when Stewart showed no interest in singing it, Kiss decided to keep it for themselves |

Wiki says Ace played acoustic guitar on it. _________________ A legend in posting since February 1st, 2007

| Lets swing this truck back around to Little Ceasar. I believe they re-united and released an album not that long ago. Anyone heard it? _________________ A legend in posting since February 1st, 2007

| I have it. It's called "Redemption" and it's not nearly as good as the S/T or "Influence". Not sure how many of the original members play on it either. _________________ "Don't reenact scenes from 'Platoon' with Charlie Sheen."

Yea, I knew that was coming, actually their $5 cheese or pepperoni pizzas are pretty good for the price. |

| I love LITTLE CAESAR.
The S/T and "Influence" are great. The "Name Your Poison" e.p. is fantastic. but mucho rare. I don't even have it on cd.
Ron Young also fronted the band MANIC EDEN with Adrian Vandenberg, Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge.

| Good band. The singer had a great Billy Gibbons bluesy type voice. I have a copy of their secong album "Influence", but I remember liking the debut a lot more. |
