I am 52. You better go see all these old school rockers before they retire. I saw Iron Maiden last night here in Austin. I saw Faster Pussycat here in Austin back in June. These guys are all getting older. Go out and support them. What I would do to go back to 1981-89.
My first concert in 1990 was Whitesnake with Steve Vai, Faster Pussycat opened. I was 14...10th row. Vai did Passion and Warfare songs for his solo with the Whitesnake guys backing. I was sold and was on my way to a life of pure rock and roll chaos. Kind Regards.
I have known Tamie for over 20 years he’s a great friend he’s a great guy in my opinion he’s a true rockstar we still have so much fun at the Cathouse back in the day. I’m just happy that they’re still playing they just were on tour with my other friends from L.A. Guns.
Never met him, seen F/P a couple times...always had a ton of respect for him. You tell Taime that he has massive love and respect from the people who lived through those great years. 🍺⚡🍺
I've never met him, but been a huge fan since they first came out, and seen many interviews with him. He seems like a completely cool, laid back, easy to talk to dude.
F CKING MAD LOVE AND RESPECT FOR TAMIE…. This Outstanding Front man, songwriter and singer changed my life when I First Heard Faster Pussycat… As a matter of fact you can hear it in much of the Stampede Queen albums. Was hoping he was there when we played the whiskey many moons ago. Anyways… CHEERS! ZACK DANIELS ~ .
@Metal Fan Well actually in the channel there aren't only hard rock bands... Yes they are a majority but you'll find videos about Metallica, Queensryche, Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. There are still "few" interviews, let's what will happen in the next years!
I was 12 years old in 1982. I am with you. I grew up as an 80's product. From 1982-89 was a very special time. We saw it all ie rock music, cd's, vhs, sony walkman etc etc.
@@Ken-yg4um It's called "California sober" when you keep smoking/drinking but quit the hard stuff.. I think that's what OP is referring to by "cleaned up".
Is there any artist/band that could put out three successive albums that all sounded different yet still be awesome!? FP’s first three albums are phenomenal!
I use to talk with Tamie back in early 2000s when he was a DJ at the Viper Room for Metal School which later became Steel Panther. Tamie was always down to Earth.
Same here, met him at the Viper Room, great dude! I had tickets to see FP in England then Covid hit. Finally going to see them at The Whisky later this month. Can't wait.
I have always been a huge Faster Pussycat fan. I saw them in the 80s, opening for David Lee Roth, in Tampa, FL and they were great. That 1st album is great, in my opinion.
All of Taime’s records have a certain sound to them yet they are all different. They are all solid. Even to this day. Eddie Trunk called him the “mayor of the Sunset Strip” back in the day. I agree. He also writes awesome songs and should be crowned the “King of Sleeze Rock” too!👑🎸🤘🏻
Love these guys! Finally get to see them live later this month. Would love to see a West coast East coast Sleeze tour with Faster Pussycat and The Erotics.
Just saw them a couple weeks ago. Stil put on a great show after all this time. Taimie is the coolest Fkn guy ever. They all are, every time I've meet them they're always friendly and ready to sign autographs or take pics. 🤘
God damn...Taime looks great!! The man looks great, sounds even better...hes a fckn' treasure. I wish that everyone would have aged this gracefully. 🍺⚡🍺 good things Taime.
House of Pain is one of my favorite songs because of my life having a father who the couple of years my parents were married he was an alcoholic and abusive and then for most of my life has been an absentee father
Taime's a full on legend. Über talented. One thing that really bothers me is he and Axl never collaborated on songs. Imagine in their primes how those 2 voices would've sounded together in one song. Insane.
Love to see Jake E Lee from Ozzy and Badlands. Richard Black of Shark Island would also be really cool. Both those bands should have been massive, but isn't that always the way
THIS IS WHAT I CONSIDER TRUE METAL WARRIORS !! ✌🏻😚💨✌🏻 FKN LOVE EM , IMMA OLD TIMER EX FARMER ,RAISED CROPS IN OVERTON,NV ,ABOUT 45MIN FROM VEGA'S AND WE USED TO DELIVER OUR STUFF ALL OVER INCLUDING L.A. THATS WHEN I FIRST HEARD OF THEM ,GOT AHOLD OF 1 OF THEIR DEMOS AND SAW THEM IN SOME CLUB IN LA I DONT REMEMBER THE NAME (I'mma stroke victim) AND SINCE THEM IVE BECAME A BIG ASS FP FAN AND THIS DUDE ARE THE NO.1 EXAMPLE OF WHAT BEING METAL IS ALL ABOUT !! NOTHING BUT TOTAL LOVE AND RESPECT FOR FASTER PUSSYCATS AND FOR YALL MY METAL BROTHERS AND SISTERS !! and a big hello to y'all from this retired metal old warrior now living and smoking out in Mexico 🇲🇽 !! ✌🏻💚😚💨💨💨💨💚✌🏻
I'll never forgot this band. They warmed up for everyone. They never completed a show that I saw. Always forced off the stage by flying bic lighters and Jim Beam bottles
This ARTIST AND AS MANY ROCK BANDS U CAN SHOULD PUT ON A CONCERT FOR FLORIDA LIKE LIVE AIDE IN THE 80'S!!! ROCK ISN'T DEAD!! IT'S BEEN SURPRESSED?? MUSIC TODAY IS ONESIDED!! ESPECIALLY IN MAINSTREAM MUSIC?? ROCK ARTISTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN FOR A GOOD CAUSE!! NOW IS THE TIME FOR ROCK TO BE HEARD BY THE MASSES AGAIN!!! A CONCERT SO BIG MEDIA CAN'T IGNORE???? So far NOBODY HAS STEPPED UP????
As always your Chanel is the best!!! And to be clear, I don’t care about Faster Pussycat, yet I appreciate the legacy you’re leaving, and I still enjoyed this interview for the insights into the era more than for them themselves.
I wasent a big gnr fan but do like faster pussycat. He seemed like cool guy he talking one guy younger son the father brought to the concert at Jaxx in va
Recently met the band here in myrtle Beach. Great bunch of guys. Still sound awesome live. Check them out on my channel. Brickhouse in myrtle Beach. Full concert
Seriously! The guy is having a beer. No one can determine anything about his personal shit by just seeing this. Keep your judgemental crap out of here.
@@Schneids71 I've known enough rockers dude... If that is a non-alcoholic beer, then ok... Otherwise, nope... alcoholic... You can't "drink before shows" and not be an alcoholic, if you are playing shows constantly.. This is why rockers become alcoholics... hahahahahahaha... Common, don't you know any rockers who drink before the show and are on world tours? These dudes/ladies are alcoholics bro... Not judging. Pointing out the painfully obvious.. This guy thinks he is still in 1982....
Maybe if he hadn’t gone into business with the biggest poser in metal history, more people would have liked Faster Pussycat better😂 Yet another case of a brunet that dyed his hair blond to stand out in the scene… pretty much everyone was dark haired (blackish-brown) and had similarly colored eyes.

I get it. Good times. @@jmgmarcus808
I am 50, and the only 80s metal band I saw was MC and saw them twice. I agree we should support our older 70s and 80s bands before they retire
I just saw Faster Pussycat in Cincinnati last week. Had a blast
I have known Tamie for over 20 years he’s a great friend he’s a great guy in my opinion he’s a true rockstar we still have so much fun at the Cathouse back in the day. I’m just happy that they’re still playing they just were on tour with my other friends from L.A. Guns.

Well... If you know him and if you are really a friend, tell him to slow down on the booz.
@@ghostscalper6159The dudes been sober for like 6 years 💀

Faster Pussycat's first three albums were a big part of my mind teens soundtrack and they still Rock to this day !🤘
@Metal Fan, Right on man!
@Metal Fan Well actually in the channel there aren't only hard rock bands... Yes they are a majority but you'll find videos about Metallica, Queensryche, Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne.
There are still "few" interviews, let's what will happen in the next years!
100 fuckin %, I couldnt agree more
I requested Faster Pussycat and Taime Downe. Thanks 80's Metal Recycle Bin!! Keep rockin Taime! 🤘🤘
They haven't had him on yet? I figured he would've been one of the first 80's glam metal musicians they interviewed.
Awesome chat ..Taime is cool, I love Faster Pussycat
Nothing will ever repeat the party that was LA in the 80 's on the Sunset Strip !
I was 12 years old in 1982. I am with you. I grew up as an 80's product. From 1982-89 was a very special time. We saw it all ie rock music, cd's, vhs, sony walkman etc etc.
@@re8746 Yep a time machine please
I remember hearing Don't you change that song - and thinking this is great!!!
It's my favorite record. Wow I haven't thought about that song in years!! And boom, just like that, it's all back. :D
For me it was number on the bathroom wall. But that entire tape was great. I wore it out lol.
Loved this band in the 80’s…most definitely underrated!!
Taime looks and sounds great. So happy he got cleaned up and is still around to keep rocking today.
Very cool dude.
Glad to see he's doing well
But he's drinking a beer
@@Ken-yg4um It's called "California sober" when you keep smoking/drinking but quit the hard stuff.. I think that's what OP is referring to by "cleaned up".
Couldnt agree more, i didnt think Tamie would live thru the 80s. He RIPS to this day. LOVE Pussycat!!!
@@Ken-yg4um hehehehehe what are you saying? a Beer is fine, actually is good for your health.
Is there any artist/band that could put out three successive albums that all sounded different yet still be awesome!? FP’s first three albums are phenomenal!
Big respect to this band 👏🏻
Back in the day, saw them many times as an opening act on tour, enjoying their few hits 😀.
Met Taime on a Monsters of Rock cruise, super nice dude.
Cheesy as it sounds, everytime I hear house if pain. My heart aches. ❤
Heart breaking song...beautiful pain
I use to talk with Tamie back in early 2000s when he was a DJ at the Viper Room for Metal School which later became Steel Panther. Tamie was always down to Earth.

👊💀👍NoDoubt!
That first album was just perfect-I could play every bassline from that record.
Great band and great guy… saw them live and he was very cool with fans 🤘😎
Great band: Yes.
and great guy: Hell no.
Love these guys! Finally get to see them live later this month. Would love to see a West coast East coast Sleeze tour with Faster Pussycat and The Erotics.
The closer I get to being 60 years of age the more nostalgic I am for the '80s
Another big fan here . I still sit around the house playing " Bathroom Wall and Wake me when it's over ".
I saw Faster in Charlotte in August and they blew me away!!!
Grossly under rated
House of Pain is the story of my life, Thanks for making this song.
Just saw them a couple weeks ago. Stil put on a great show after all this time. Taimie is the coolest Fkn guy ever. They all are, every time I've meet them they're always friendly and ready to sign autographs or take pics. 🤘
Great interview
The band is still impressive and going strong!
just seen fpc for the 7th time in omaha ne in may 2022 they’re still rockin 🤘🏻🤘🏻
What up Clark M?
@@davidv9467 hangin out here in cyberspace lol
what you been up too?? DLV 🤘🏻🤘🏻
First heard of these guys on " Z-ROCK" .
No other local radio stations were touching bands like this.
Refreshing ! 👍👍
That song still makes me cry.
Thanks so much for sharing this. Always a Pussycat fan.
Taime Downe is the Man!
🤘Meow🤘
They have always been cool and those records hold up. I liked the last one a lot too (power and the glory hole)
Wow....I'm just impressed that this dude is still alive. 😁👍
I saw them in concert February 1990 on tour with Motley Crue. I have loved their album wake me since it’s released.
Taime should do more interviews.
legend
Where has this channel been all my life
He's a hell of nice guy and a great singer
I love Faster Pussycat great band & Taime is just freaking awesome 😎
Agreed!!! :)
Pretty gnarly dude !
please come back to rapid city!! remembering when....
Been a huge fan for a long time and they rocked down to Aus a few years ago and they put on a stadium show in a club.
Really like Faster Pussycat debut album
Taime is true rocker. I adore him. I got to meet him last year. He is superb. You need to listen to the pod he did with Riki Rachtman crazy story.
God damn...Taime looks great!! The man looks great, sounds even better...hes a fckn' treasure. I wish that everyone would have aged this gracefully. 🍺⚡🍺 good things Taime.
Rock is Rock best well said
Love FP and Taime
I saw them open a three band show (Lita Ford, Motley Crue) and they were by far the best band that night.
I get TOTAL Ozzy vibes from Taime. This guy IS STILL ALIVE!? God bless brother. Lol
Saw them live, headlining for Motley Crue, Doctor Feelgood Tour. Excellent show!
me2..awesome. 18 and still talking 2 myself...
House of Pain is one of my favorite songs because of my life having a father who the couple of years my parents were married he was an alcoholic and abusive and then for most of my life has been an absentee father
Mi banda 🇦🇷👌🤘🏾❤
Taime looks pretty healthy shocked he made it out of the 80s
I liked House of Pain and Slip of The Tongue.
Taime's a full on legend. Über talented. One thing that really bothers me is he and Axl never collaborated on songs. Imagine in their primes how those 2 voices would've sounded together in one song. Insane.
Love to see Jake E Lee from Ozzy and Badlands.
Richard Black of Shark Island would also be really cool.
Both those bands should have been massive, but isn't that always the way
Richard Black.
Mr error, typo.. Bloody phone 😣😣

The kitchen at the rainbow 1999. I got to hug taime & thank him . Awkward. Not trying to name drop. Just a highlight of my life. ❤😊
What year was this interview?
Taime Downe band as Legends
What riff or song in the opening? Love it lol
Taime rocks 🤟
you go Mr Downe
Legend
You look great man
I'll never forgot this band. They warmed up for everyone. They never completed a show that I saw. Always forced off the stage by flying bic lighters and Jim Beam bottles
Finally drug free and sober. You can understand him again
He's definitely not sober he's drinking a beer
@@beyondbeleef1013 this is a old interview.
He is sober and drug free now
@@deannm6872 Oh ok. Good for him. I loved them back in the day
@@deannm6872 Is it? I see it was uploaded just a few days ago so I assumed it was recent.
Dude he's drinking a beer 🍻. Sober?
Does anybody know the song playing at 4:08
I'm ashamed to say,I'm 57, still talking to myself and there's WAY too many in my House of Pain
what band and song is that at the end , what its like to be famous?
I just heard an interview he did with eddie trunk, this dude is funny af
Everyone! 🤘🏼
This ARTIST AND AS MANY ROCK BANDS U CAN SHOULD PUT ON A CONCERT FOR FLORIDA LIKE LIVE AIDE IN THE 80'S!!! ROCK ISN'T DEAD!! IT'S BEEN SURPRESSED?? MUSIC TODAY IS ONESIDED!!

So far NOBODY HAS STEPPED UP????
Love Taime
I love Taime. I am glad he is drinking again. Life is much happier that way. Not a fan of their NIN garbage but love the old stuff.
I hear Faster Pussycat on XM quite a bit. Not enough. 😏. I have the CDs so no worries 😊 🎸🎸🎸 🎤 🥁
As always your Chanel is the best!!! And to be clear, I don’t care about Faster Pussycat, yet I appreciate the legacy you’re leaving, and I still enjoyed this interview for the insights into the era more than for them themselves.
Friends is my favorite track by Faster Pussycat!!!...
Love GNR and Faster pussycat
I had a lot of fun with these guys back in the day as well 🤘🏼80’s
I wasent a big gnr fan but do like faster pussycat. He seemed like cool guy he talking one guy younger son the father brought to the concert at Jaxx in va
They weren’t really known outside USA.
I think they're better than Guns and Roses they just didn't have the luck
Nope. They were cool, but not Guns by a mile. Btw, nice Trump photo, Jackhole
Recently met the band here in myrtle Beach. Great bunch of guys. Still sound awesome live. Check them out on my channel. Brickhouse in myrtle Beach. Full concert
Met Taime and Gene Simmons in one night at a Mozart show at the Troubadour... one was sooo lovely, the other was not!!!
Tie me Downe.
When an old rocker is still drinking beer = Absolute Alcoholic = Sad

Taime is my #1 favorite dude
He looks alive without all the make-up... then maybe that's the point!
Now that's Rock n Roll living...until diabetes, liver cirrhosis and hypertension hits you like a jackhammer.
Looks like rikki rocket's brother.
xD
You talk about your new band how you guys are brothers do you split the profits for ways I bet not
Maybe if he hadn’t gone into business with the biggest poser in metal history, more people would have liked Faster Pussycat better😂
