831.1Beat me to it!COMET::FRISBYAAnyway the wind blowsWed Apr 01 1992 17:1310
    Oh WOW! I was just looking to see if anyone had started a topic on
    these guys! Weird....
    
     I think they're cool! They sound SERIOUSLY like OLD Van Halen.
        Which I guess isn't too bad since they're gone.
    The word is these guys are suppose to be the next big thing....I won't
    believe it till I see it.

831.2Alot of the titles are songs already!COMET::FRISBYAAnyway the wind blowsWed Apr 01 1992 17:156
    Oh and BTW-The new single and video is called "Rob The Cradle" and the
    albums is called "Want Some?".
     Listen to the Van Halen esque middle harmony break down part.

831.3decent, one killer songDPE::STARRThey call it Paradise, I don't know whyWed Apr 01 1992 19:0010
I heard this tape last week. Music was good - not great, but definitely good.
The lyrics, typical for this type of band, are *wicked* cliched and boring.
There were a bunch of decent songs on there, and one totally killer song
called "Sister Sister", which ROOLED!

BTW, the best way to describe this band is that they are your average 
pop-metal band (ala Warrant) with a VERY good production (Mike Clink, of
GnR fame).

    That "Rob The Cradle" song is getting a lot of airplay around here
    (must be if *I* heard it...)  It's a total VH rip off!  Plus the words
    are stupid and juvenile.  The music's cool, but the lyrics are so
    cheezy that it's hard for me to listen to it.

    I thought YOU never listened to lyrics anyway?
    
         Alan:I think Warrant has MUCH more song writing talant and
    personality.

> Alan:I think Warrant has MUCH more song writing talant and personality.

Could be. It wasn't meant to be a direct comparison, just a pointer as to
the style of music they play. Sorta like Warrant with a bit of Van Halen 
thrown in.

    No. Nobody on Warrant play in this band....Their sound is just kind of
    in that same style.

    It all about that style...So if you like it you'll like the rest of it.
      My bass player LOVES it.  I think they lack somthing but are still
    good.

    I must admit I have not heard of Roxy Blues, but if they sound like
    Warrant they are my kind of band!!  Do you know what album's they
    have??  And are they available in the U.K??

831.16rob the cradleLUDWIG::KLOFIFTY-ONE-FIFTY LOUD ENOUGH FOR MEMon Apr 06 1992 17:388
    Listen to Roxy Blue all weekend.
    Here's what I think Roxy Blue sound like: Warrant,Extreme,and Van Halen.
                                            
    Most of the Rythm and vocal sound like Warrant. All of the guitar
    solo sound like Nuno and Eddie.
