50.0. "Roxx Gang" by MILKWY::SLABOUNTY (Raging Slab) Thu Nov 30 1989 14:07

    
    	A friend let me borrow "Things You've never Done Before" and
    	there's some good stuff on it.  I've only listened to it once
    	or so, but I'll give a run-down after hearing it again.
    
    	A couple mentionables ...
    
    		"Put a Red Rose on My Grave" - good ballad
    		"Race With the Devil" - best on the album
    		"Scratch My Back" - another rockin' song.

    	Aren't these the guys who look something similar to Kiss??
    	For some reason Kiss sticks in my mind when I hear the
    	name of this band....
    
    	Maybe Gene Simmons helped in producing it??
    
    	Tigga~~~
50.2No nit-picking, you know what I meanBUFFER::GOLDSMITHGood Cult seats? Let's talk $$Thu Nov 30 1989 16:5411
    Tigg-
    
    You're just confusing them with Kiss because it's another one of those
    metal names with too many letters together.
    
    Kiss
    Nikki Sixx
    Rikki Rokket
    the list goes on.....

    	Nope, it's not because of that.  Maybe it was the patent
    	leather outfits they were wearing in the last video I
    	saw...Or maybe it's the big hair!!  (8 (8

    "Race with the Devil" - is that a cover of the single put out by Gun
    in the early eighties?

    	I forgot to update my opinion of the album ... it really
    	rocks!!  Most of it is fantastic, and if Tigga or JJ ever
    	listens to the stuff I taped for them then they might
    	think so too.
    
    	8^)
    
    	If you like Rat Race, I think you'll like these guys ...
    	similar but different, you know?  The singer's voice is
    	somewhat rough, but not extremely.

    	So, Tigg and JJ, have either of you listened to this yet?
