Just a hair younger, Slaughter and Winger really take me back to my 9th grade year. Really miss the music in general from that era...sadly most of what passes as music these days is straight flaming crap.
Deadwood1919, Permission to use this quote whenever I can?! Lol I read a lot of comments, yours just hit home and simply yet perfectly worded. Gotta give credit when it’s due🤘
@@deweyoxburger5470 That would be Y&T, but yes, I remember playing the Black Tiger album (on cassette) all the damn time back in 85 or so. TNT had a couple of videos, "Everyone's A Star" and "10,000 Lovers." Both good!
This was great. Another glam hair band you should get into is Winger. "Headed For A Heartbreak" - "Seventeen" - "Madalaine" - "Miles Away" - "Hungry". Can't go wrong with any of those songs.
@salbro5985 oh yeah....I remember that opening band.....I seen them in Harrisburg, PA....cool stage set up KISS had, the Sphinx with lasers shooting out lol.....Eric Carrr.....what a drummer😔
I saw them in concert back in 2006, together with Firehouse and Poison....their debut album have so many good songs: Desperately, Mad About you, Spend My Life, You Are the One, Gave me your Heart, Burning Bridges.....it was 🔥.
This entire album was my jam for most of my senior year in high school, 1990-91. Spend My Life, She Wants More, Mad About You, Burnin' Bridges, Eye to Eye, Gave Me Your Heart, anything off of Stick it to Ya is great!
Their first single, from the debut album, Stick It To Ya, in 1990. Written by Mark and bassist Dana Strum. This and Fly to the Angels were their biggest songs.
I guess when ever, now that I hear Slaughter I think of the movie "Rock Star" because the drummer is in it. Since you guys have a soft spot for 80s metal and apparently Jennifer Aniston you should definately check it out. Its a fun little story with some REALLY good 80s music.
J/A, Don’t Treat Me Bad - Firehouse. I suggest you come back to Firehouse. This is a straight up jam by them and was big time popular! Love to see you react to it.
this was the 80s life of someone in their late teens...early 20s.......Up all night....sleep all day....and it was a BLAST!!!! I'm a woman and i partied like a man back then.....It was all head bangin....dancing....hanging with friends....cruisin the streets of a small town....keg parties in the middle of nowhere....and hooking up with that one special person. I really miss those days....I DO NOT miss the hangovers....LOL!! When the 90s set in...it was time to settle down, raise kids and make a living. I'm in my mid 50s now....and i still like to listen to ALL those old hits from the 80s....nothing like a good head banger to get your blood pumping. Music makes an old heart feel young again.
💕🤘🏼 I still get this song stuck in my head from time to time, love it! When I turned 21 Slaughter happen to be playing in a heavy metal bar in Denver, I don’t remember much about that night, except for having a good time!…laughter with an S😹💚🌻
I saw them open for Kiss in 1990. They were amazing live. I've seen them twice in the last few years, and they still put on a good show. This was my theme song when I was 19 years old!
I used to help with show setups and concert security back in that day... My buddy got me to help for a show, and was helping get lights set... dude in a leather jacket walked up to us... Crew guy I was working with intro'd me... it was Mark Slaughter... had a really cool and real talk with him for about 20 mins.. just a couple guys... no freakout or over fanning... awesome down to earth guy
PLEASE react to Winger "HEADED FOR A HEARTBREAK" (original video). It's my absolute favorite 80's metal song!!!! It is just sooooo good!! Pretty please?🙏
Slaughter was formally known as the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, Vinnie replaced Ace in KISS, fired from there, and fired from his own solo band lol. Check out LOVE KILLS from the pre Slaughter from a Nightmare in Elm St 4
@@Chris.Davis.2 Mark has said they kicked him out in interviews, but still pathetic if your whole solo band quits and goes on without you and has 10X the success u did lol
@@Chris.Davis.2 From what I've gotten from interviews is that Vinnie Vincent was awful to work with-verbally and psychologically abusive-plus he was self-indulgent and unreliable. The record label got tired of his BS and all the sunk costs so they cut Vincent loose and offered Mark Slaughter and one other band member Vinnie's record contract which they accepted. And from that, they formed Slaughter.
@@LivingInTheKaliYogurt I hear ya,sounds like BS follows Vinnie. That story would mean the record company did the firing. Mark and the other guys probably did not having anything nice to say about Vinnie and may have been digging the knife a little. I actually kinda liked Vinnie Vincent band.
God MTV played the hell of this music video in early 1990. It was their #1 most requested video for like 2 months straight on the nightly video request countdown
I still have the cassette tape, lol… Great reaction! Amber, since Jay seems to like those bands with the double same names, another 80s hair band to check out is Danger Danger, and the songs “Bang Bang” or “Naughty Naughty”… you’re welcome, lol 😎🤘
Met these guys once. Very nice and appreciative of their fans, especially Mark Slaughter and Blas Elias. They stayed around and talked music with everyone backstage and really took their time with us.
They actually played The Plaza in their hometown of Vegas 3 Fridays ago! I didn't know about it until that night so didn't make out there but would've been a fun show. I've heard Mark Slaughter has maintained his voice a lot better than most of his peers from the glam/ hair metal era.
This was a band I listen to while unemployed and yes, it was my anthem. Most days I did stay up all night and sleep all day. I only got in the band because of the album cover. Delving into the bands history, in 10 years, they suffered so much than other bands did in decades. Loss of a love one ( Fly to the Angels dedicated) Banded member charged with drug possession, and then the death of a member due to a truck/ car accident. Mark Slaughter is also featured in the music video of Rock Sugar’s mesh up featuring a lot of celebrity cameos. Mark Hamill and Weird Al to name a few.
I remember when this first came out, a true 80's hair band classic! Mark Slaughter also sang lead vocals for The Vinnie Vincent Invasion (Vinnie Vincent, former KISS guitarist) and his song ASHES TO ASHES is a Solid ROCKER!
The 80's were awesome, the music was the best. When this song came out I was in my early 20's. This song so reminds me of my wonderful life then, beautiful girls, loud music and staying up all night! For a similar song from the same era: The Bullet Boys-Smooth Up In ya or The Love of Money.
Wife here..Loved these Guys late 80's..Mark Slaughter started in the "Vinnie Vincent Invasion"..A member of the band KISS solo projects..Love Glam Metal!!..Saw Slaughter with KiSS and Winger..My 1st Rock concer!!
You guys are like my friends that i show bands from the 80s that i like and you react, and thank you for being with me and my joints in my lonely nights❤
Check out Vinnie Vincent Invasion with Vinnie Vincent formerly of Kiss on guitar, Mark Slaughter on lead vocals and Dana Strum on bass who helps Mark form Slaughter. Two songs in particular Love Kills and That Time of Year!!!
I cosign this recommendation. Both great songs, though in my opinion they are also 2/3 of the ONLY good VVI tunes. The first Invasion album with the other singer is a hot mess. And the album with Mark Slaughter is also pretty terrible except for the above 2 songs and Vinnie's instrumental that ends the album.
I still love Slaughter and I’m 68. They are the coolest guys too. Their drummer Blas Elias is one of the best drummers around and has been with the blue man group in Vegas as a drummer and every Christmas season is with Trans Siberian Orchestra. And has also played again with Slaughter from time to time. And Blas is an all around nice guy. ❤
I have seen these guys many times on concert. They are a great, fun band. This whole album rocks. Eye To Eye and Burnin' Bridges kick the album off nicely. A few others from the album include You Are The One and Desperately. Some from other albums include Days Gone By, Stuck With You and You're My Everything. Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum were also in Vinnie Vincent's Invasion where they did some cool songs. The drummer is now with the Trans Siberian Orchestra.
Both this song and the "Fly to the Angels" was from their debut album "Stick It to Ya"... it was a killer album. Those were the two major hits but they had a couple other minor hits "Spend My Life" and "Mad About You". The whole album was great.
Watching this reminds me of a later era 80s glam band called Enuff Z Nuff. They had a pretty good tune called Michelle. I bought the album because of it and I wasn't disappointed.
YES! I’m so glad you finally got back to Slaughter. For your next song, I recommend either “Spend My Life” or “Mad About You”. Mark Slaughter has some soaring vocals.
Y’all getting a great banger in with this one!!! I was blasting this out of my speakers when it first came out!!!! Dana Strum & Mark Slaughter formed this group after they left the awesome Vinnie Vincent Invasion…they contributed to a lot of tunes from that group such as “Back on the Streets”, “Boyz Are Gonna Rock”, “Invasion”, “Love Kills” “Ashes to Ashes” & “That Time of Year”🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
FYI, Great White, Slaughter, Quiet Riot, & Vixen are all touring together tour called "80's Rock Invasion" you both seem to of listened to all of them might as well see them live now. Keep a look out for this show near you or a State near you. It would be rockin :) keep entertaining us!
Back in the days, I wasn't fan of Slaughter, but time has passed and now, I appreciate some of their songs. In my opinion, their best album is "The Wild Life" (1992). It contains songs like "Reach For The Sky", "The Wild Life", "All The Days Gone By".
Before forming Slaughter, Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum were part of Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Vinnie Vincent was lead guitarist for KISS in the early 80s. Check out "Love Kills" from Vinnie Vincent Invasion.
MORE than a year! Please do more Slaughter! Try "Spend My Life", "Real Life", or "Days Gone By". (And you were close... this is from 1990.) Also... you haven't done any songs by Winger yet! Try "Seventeen", it's a banger!!
Here is a little history of how Slaughter formed. Vinnie Vincent replaced Ace Frehley in Kiss from 1982 until 1984. After Kiss, he signed with Chrysalis Records and they released him after 2 records but kept the backing band which became Slaughter.
Myself and 8 other service members hung out with these guys in Scotland on Cinderella headliner. These guys were cool AF. Have a pic of me and Tim Kelly along with some other great shots. Semper Fi!
May 4th, 1990 - saw them and Faster Pussycat open for KISS in Lubbock, TX. MTV's Headbanger's Ball was there filming because it was the first show of the tour. Good Times. There's some video of the show on youtube.
Alright my babies.... It's Sunday morning 9 a.m. I got my hair pulled back in a ponytail slicked back and ready to go to church. Then, you showcase Slaughter, which made me rip my rubber band out and bang my head ‼️ Thank you for giving the people what they want ‼️🔥💯🔥🎼🎶🎸🥁🎤🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Having graduated in '83, I was definitely around for this era. One term I never heard during that time was "glam metal." Not sure when that first came around. Even "hair metal" or "hair band" wasn't used until the late 80's. At least not that I heard. Back in those days, what got air time was all just rock, or metal. And metal was Priest.
The 80's rock seen was something to be a part of. I miss it so much. My only solace of the year - as I have mentioned before - is going to the M3 Rock Festical every year in Columbia, MD to get my fix to be in an environment that just takes me back to "my time." Slaughter was one of my favorites. Please be sure to gather a playlist of all your 80's rock reactions so I can see them one after the other. Thank God for Spotify!
Other than Slaughter, you can also check out some lesser known so-called "hair bands" with a rawer, a grittier or a darker sound/attitude: - Love/Hate: "Blackout In The Red Room", "Why Do You Think They Call It Dope", "Wasted In America" - Dangerous Toys: "Teas'n, Pleas'n", "Scared", "Line Em Up" - Circus Of Power: "Call Of The Wild", "Motor", "Mama Tequila" - Vain: "Beat The Bullet", "Who's Watching You" - Every Mother's Nightmare: "Walls Come Down" - Tangier: "On The Line" - Tora Tora: "Guiltyy", "Walkin' Shoes", "Amnesia", "Faith Healer" - Asphalt Ballet: "Soul Survive" - Junkyard: "Hollywood", "Simple Man" - Badlands: "Dreams In The Dark", "Winter's Call"
Saw Slaughter open up for KISS around '89 or so. They were a brand new band at the time and put on a great show. I remember the audience pumping their fists to this song!
Mark Slaughter has been around a long time. He was a part of Vinnie Vincent and also did a little known duet with Jack Blades and Night Ranger called Tell Me I'm Wrong.
I'm 50 years old and still have Slaughter in that playlist. Thank you Rob Squad!🤘
Just a hair younger, Slaughter and Winger really take me back to my 9th grade year. Really miss the music in general from that era...sadly most of what passes as music these days is straight flaming crap.

Every 80s hairband was 75% rock, 23% ballad, and 104% Aqua Net. There's plenty more rockers for ya, Jay!
Amen! Jay, you would actually dig a lot of tunes by a band called TNT. Also recommend for YOU, Lillian Axe.
they were pop rock, some good most circus acts.
You forgot the spandex. Oh, the horrors..........................
@@OneThousandHomoDJs Summertime Girls by TNT is one of my faves.
@@deweyoxburger5470 That would be Y&T, but yes, I remember playing the Black Tiger album (on cassette) all the damn time back in 85 or so.

This was great. Another glam hair band you should get into is Winger.
"Headed For A Heartbreak" - "Seventeen" - "Madalaine" - "Miles Away" - "Hungry".
Can't go wrong with any of those songs.
Love me some Winger!
I’ve been saying this for 2 YEARS
Easy Come Easy Go….Can’t Get Enough….
@@h1dministries922 - Hopefully one of their Patreon supporters will reccomend them.
Winger is awesome!!
So many good songs off this album, "Desperately", "Mad about you", "Spend my life" are good ones to listen to.
Spend My Life is a very beautiful song! 😎🔥🤘🎸
She Wants More is an absolute banger also.
@@paullanier3597 Fly To the Angels also!!
I wore two cassettes and the LP! Just bought it on CD couple years ago. Staple in my car.
Mad about you and Spend My Life definitely
My first concert in '89.....Slaughter opened up for KISS!...I was 14 and that night changed my life for good.🤘
Peace from Pennsylvania ✌️
Hot in the Shade tour! 😎 Saw them both in Providence with *opening* opening act Little Caesar.
@salbro5985 oh yeah....I remember that opening band.....I seen them in Harrisburg, PA....cool stage set up KISS had, the Sphinx with lasers shooting out lol.....Eric Carrr.....what a drummer😔
I saw that same show here in Portland. Phenomenal. ❤
Did you see Winger as well? I know they were on part of that tour with Slaughter and KISS.
Slaughter kind of evolved from KISS, Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum were in The Vinnie Vincent Invasion and Vinnie of course was in KISS
I saw them in concert back in 2006, together with Firehouse and Poison....their debut album have so many good songs: Desperately, Mad About you, Spend My Life, You Are the One, Gave me your Heart, Burning Bridges.....it was 🔥.
Firehouse Rock! 😎🔥🤘🎸
I saw that concert tour. Such good times when my life was about the party...before the "grown-up" job and kids. This made me smile today.
This was another anthem for 1989. I graduated in 1989, so this was blasting on our car stereos. We lived this stuff, you know. The lyrics.
The album was released in 1990 not 1989.
I was a big haired heavy metal girl in the 80’s/90’s. Still love it so much! 80’s/90’s music was something special!
Their song “Desperately” is awesome. Great upbeat
This entire album was my jam for most of my senior year in high school, 1990-91. Spend My Life, She Wants More, Mad About You, Burnin' Bridges, Eye to Eye, Gave Me Your Heart, anything off of Stick it to Ya is great!
Their first single, from the debut album, Stick It To Ya, in 1990. Written by Mark and bassist Dana Strum. This and Fly to the Angels were their biggest songs.
Something most people don't realize is the LA Punk scene street cred the Go-Gos have from playing the same venues and bills as Black Flag!

If you listen closely again to “Fly to the Angels” in the very beginning, everyone is singing “Up All Night”
My friend and I would throw out our voices trying to sing along with Mark Slaughter. 😂 Mad About You is another great rocking song to try.
J/A, Don’t Treat Me Bad - Firehouse. I suggest you come back to Firehouse. This is a straight up jam by them and was big time popular! Love to see you react to it.

Saw Slaughter & Poison while stationed in Abilene, TX back in early 90s, great concert!
Slaughter actually got big in the early 90s with an 80s sound, but rockin' none the less.
"Desperately" is another great song to react to!

Oh, this was my favorite hair metal band in the 90's!
Slaughter is former members of the Vinnie Vincent invasion band. Some members. Singer and guitarist, I believe.
Check out Vinnie Vincent Invasion with Vinnie Vincent formerly of Kiss on guitar, Mark Slaughter on lead vocals and Dana Strum on bass who helps Mark form Slaughter. Two songs in particular Love Kills and That Time of Year!!!

I have a song for y'all
The band: WARLOCK
The song: ALL WE ARE.
Total anthem rock!
Banger! 😎🔥🤘🎸
Myself and 8 other service members hung out with these guys in Scotland on Cinderella headliner. These guys were cool AF. Have a pic of me and Tim Kelly along with some other great shots. Semper Fi!
You gotta do "Not Enough" SUCH A BANGER!!! And thank you both for making me smile "not one,... but 3 times a day!"😊
May 4th, 1990 - saw them and Faster Pussycat open for KISS in Lubbock, TX. MTV's Headbanger's Ball was there filming because it was the first show of the tour. Good Times. There's some video of the show on youtube.
Fun fact: mark also sang for the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, Vinnie was in kiss and did the the music for happy days and Johnny Loves Chachi.
The 80's were the best time of my life and I miss it so much. Such good times.
I was so in love with Mark Slaughter…great choice.❤
This came out basically right in the middle of my college year's where I was working A LOT of local crew calls for concerts!!
Crazy times😂😂😂😂
I'm 55 and still love this song. I am normally up all night and sleep all day . My next suggestion for Slaughter is Mad about You.
I met Mark Slaughter back in the 90s, such a nice guy
Alright my babies.... It's Sunday morning 9 a.m. I got my hair pulled back in a ponytail slicked back and ready to go to church. Then, you showcase Slaughter, which made me rip my rubber band out and bang my head ‼️ Thank you for giving the people what they want ‼️🔥💯🔥🎼🎶🎸🥁🎤🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Love, love, love this song…’up all night, sleep all day…’
When this song came out, I was with my first girl...in a small college town, not a care in the world. What memories....
Having graduated in '83, I was definitely around for this era. One term I never heard during that time was "glam metal." Not sure when that first came around. Even "hair metal" or "hair band" wasn't used until the late 80's. At least not that I heard. Back in those days, what got air time was all just rock, or metal. And metal was Priest.
The 80's rock seen was something to be a part of. I miss it so much. My only solace of the year - as I have mentioned before - is going to the M3 Rock Festical every year in Columbia, MD to get my fix to be in an environment that just takes me back to "my time." Slaughter was one of my favorites. Please be sure to gather a playlist of all your 80's rock reactions so I can see them one after the other. Thank God for Spotify!
Other than Slaughter, you can also check out some lesser known so-called "hair bands" with a rawer, a grittier or a darker sound/attitude:
- Love/Hate: "Blackout In The Red Room", "Why Do You Think They Call It Dope", "Wasted In America"
- Dangerous Toys: "Teas'n, Pleas'n", "Scared", "Line Em Up"
- Circus Of Power: "Call Of The Wild", "Motor", "Mama Tequila"
- Vain: "Beat The Bullet", "Who's Watching You"
- Every Mother's Nightmare: "Walls Come Down"
- Tangier: "On The Line"
- Tora Tora: "Guiltyy", "Walkin' Shoes", "Amnesia", "Faith Healer"
- Asphalt Ballet: "Soul Survive"
- Junkyard: "Hollywood", "Simple Man"
- Badlands: "Dreams In The Dark", "Winter's Call"
Love/Hate are, totally, underrated and under-appreciated!
Badlands kill. The "Bad Company of the end of the '80s/beginning of the '90s" 🔥🔥
Saw Slaughter open up for KISS around '89 or so. They were a brand new band at the time and put on a great show. I remember the audience pumping their fists to this song!
Mark Slaughter has been around a long time. He was a part of Vinnie Vincent and also did a little known duet with Jack Blades and Night Ranger called Tell Me I'm Wrong.
Mark Slaughter is also a voice actor for cartoons…he’s voiced the character Spike in Batman Beyond, he was the voice of a woman in the Animaniacs.
I'll be seeing them May 5th, it will be my 5th time seeing them. Always a great show.
