703.0. "Enuff Z' Nuff" by SOURCE::WHITMAN () Tue Oct 10 1989 14:14

    
    
    
    
    		I have'nt seen a topic for these guys yet
    	so I guess I'll add one.... 
    
    		I'm not a big poser lover myself, but thier
    	new song they have on MTV sorta grows on ya... but 
    	the big thing that turned me onto the band was I went
    	to see them with MR. BIG and I ended up partin with'em
    	after the show... they were actually a bunch of cool
    	guys..... They ended up putting us on the guest list
    	for the show at the Paradise (which was sold out) and
    	then again invited us to their bus to party again.....
    	Anyway after a few hours and a few dozen beers I ended
    	up gettin the home phone#'s to the bassists and the 
    	guitarists house and they said they would be more than
    	happy to help us out on any projects we had going...
    
    	They will be ending their tour with Mr. Big this week
    	and then heading home to make a new video, Then they
    	will be going back on the road headlining a club based
    	tour.....

    	Curious...
    
    	Do they take all that goop off once the show is over?

    	After hearing their song last night, I didn't even think they
    	really sounded metal.  They sound more like Escape Club, or
    	R.E.M., or Public Image, Ltd....you know.  One of those British
    	techno-pop type bands.
    
    	Is the rest of their stuff better??
    
    	Tigga~~~ who wasn't too impressed, but is willing to listen
703.6More Info....SENIOR::WHITMANWed Oct 11 1989 14:4719
    
    
    
    	Yup.. they actually do take of their makeup after the show..
    	
    	They currently live in Chicago, but I beleive their from
    	Scottland.. (one of the Rodies asked if I could notice that
    	he was from Scottland...) 
    
    	
    	The rest of there LP has some pretty good tracks on it... I'd
    	say its worth to pick up....
    
    	One thing I thought was funny is that one of the Rodies asked
    	if I had ever heard of 'Extreme'.. I guess they really enjoyed
    	working with them (they played a few gigs together out on the
    	West coast..)

703.10SSDEVO::GALLUPsix months in a leaky boatSat Oct 21 1989 15:4718

	 I just saw a vid of theirs....My first thought? "That lead
	 singer sure looks a lot like my sister!"  After that, I
	 thought.....these guys are NOT what I would consider Heavy
	 Metal, but then again, I don't consider BonJovi, or Poison
	 Heavy Metal either.

	 As for their look, I liked it......shows they have some
	 initiative to be a little different, as well as have a lot of
	 fun!  Their makeup was definately for effect, not to "make
	 them look better"....and hey!  there's nothing wrong with at!

	 I doubt I would go out and buy their album right now, I'd
	 have to check out some more of their music, but I did like
	 what I heard so far.

         	 I wouldn't know, i don't think I've ever paied much
	 notice to Poison...in fact...I don't even think I've ever
	 seen one of their videos.

    Hung out and had a few drinks...a few later we saw some people that
    were there. a few drinks later we hobbled to The cactus club and
    they were playng and 10 min's into the show We went to D.B. Coopers
    Because they were Awful...They Made Poison look like cough medicine.
    
    
    And they wouldn't even let ME backstage. Just a couple of ratty-
    looking Poser chicks with BIG HAIR and worse makup than the band.

    	Don't get me wrong, I like Mr. Big... I think they
    	crank... Billy is incredible and still can't believe
    	some of the stuff he plays... but it gets sickening 
    	after a while... 
    
    	But I like 'Znuff too... I can listen to that over
    	and over and not get sick of it (well... most of the time ;'))
    
    	The new album is Great... alot heavy guitar and drums... and
    	catchy material...

    These guys are writing their third album now and are planning a
    spring/summer release. Chip is writing with Robin Zander for the album.
     No replacement yet for Derek but there's still a chance he might

    I think it's cool just to see him doing something!! He had some killer
    lungs.  I hope he can at least help the band to have better songs but
    to truely help this band he would have to sing.
