Thank you so much, Chris! Dig you!
Anybody else see these guys with me at the Akron Rubber Bowl in July of 1989?
My first concert, and since they opened the show the first band I ever saw in concert.
I still have my T shirt from this tour. I did not take the cassette out of my player in my car for MONTHS . Saw em twice. Once at the Channel Club in Boston and once at the Worcester Centrum with Cinderella and Winger. Could not get enough of this band back in the day and still rock out when I hear or play Hard as a Rock or Kissin Kitty . Fuck the whole album is amazing. Keep it up Bullet Boys!!!!!!!!!
First time I heard these guys was late one night driving across the 405 from the valley from band rehearsal, the song "Hell on my Heels" came on and I was dumbstruck by the sheer bombast and that ridiculously insane voice. I may have been really stoned at the time but damned if it wasn't fantastic. Later came "Smooth Up" w/ the hilarious intro and the Billy Squier "Stroke" chorus and it was obvious they were going to be huge - or at least their LP was going to be played at parties for decades to come. Alas, it still is!
Mick is very underrated good guitar player awesome
💯
Love it !!
Mick was the best thing in this band and he has awesome tone
Thanks so much, Arthur!!
Saw the Bulletboys at Alpine Valley with Tesla, Winger, White Lion and Poison. Looking back 32 years ago. Bulletboys were intense live. Raw and it ROCKED! I also saw you guys in Rockford,Illinois as you opened up for the home town boys Cheap Trick! Thanks for the great memories! 🤘
I remember seeing y’all in anchorage alaska when I was a little kid and got to meet u after the show god what a concert and thank u for being soo kool in person
That means a lot, thank you!! 😀
Love seeing this older stuff.... appreciate it Mick....you got shit tons of fans still....we love ya!!! 👍
Thanks so much!
This is great! Wore out this cassette when I was 12 and still listen to the album. Parts of Mick’s leads still make my hair stand up. Fun to see him sing backup while still soloing. Shame there’s not more footage although the Ozzy show is good. But it’s fun to see a better audience on these clips.
Thanks Dan, made my day two years later!!
God,I love this shit man.....
Thanks Stephen, dig you!! 😀
Those were the days.... fucking Mississippi Nights here in St. Louis....back when Freakshow was released!!! Tore it up!!!!! Man.....did they deliver!!!!
Have to say...best concert Id been to...and my first concert was Heart 1977....Kiel Auditorium....👍✌
@@WilliamC1966 😀
Still...your kickin' ass. playing wise...
😀
Bullet Pigs gold. I was at the Cinderella/Winger/BulletBoys show March 1989, Peoria, IL. Great times.
I was there too! A couple months later I seen the Cinderella/Winger/ Bullet boys show down in Springfield. At that show all 3 bands jammed for the encore at the end of the show.
That's awesome. Wonder why they didn't do a jam at the Peoria stop? I've got video of the BB's in-store at the old Co-op location at Main & University earlier that day. Did you see 'em two years later with Great White and Steelheart at ISU's Braden Auditorium?
No, I missed that show.
Ha! Thanks Chad!
BulletBoys won me over with that Philadelphia 1989 performance. Very professional, especially considering the circumstances. Before watching it, I didn't know much about BulletBoys. Now I went and digitally purchased a bunch of BulletBoys songs and have a playlist of over 50 of my favorites. Hopefully the guys in the band will get most of that money
Saw this tour in Chattanooga TN.. A young impressionable 16 year old drummer at the time... LOL
You kids!! 😀
What a voice torrent had. Sorry for the misspelling. I can’t spell worth a s#@t! Bulletboys rocked back in the late 80’s
They put on a great show with Ozzy at the Tower Theater in 89'! They were a complete package of Musicianship & Charisma.
So fucking cool I love shows
God Bless You Mick Sweda, You guys kicked our asses at the Ritz outside of Detroit, met you out back at the show, you gave me a guitar pic after the show.
You were the most down to earth dude, and i was honored to see you, and the rest of the band kick ass in Detroit.
😍
@@micksweda
Not to date myself, that show was back in 91
And i still listen to your music that you guys put out to this day
Just subbed. For what it’s worth, that solo on Hell Yea still tears me up. One of the first solos I learned as a kid on guitar. Thanks!
Ha! It wasn't supposed to be doubled but Ted...
So awesome! Matk T's pipes are insane....talented vocalist for sure!💪
i was invited to see poison at the long beach arena if i drove, so i went. i wanted to see tesla who was to open but instead it was the bulletboys. i unknowingly knew some of their songs. marq ran out on the 1st song, clipped his foot jumping over the corner of the drum riser and almost ate it.
Hee hee...😀
One of the best debut's of the 80's. Saw them twice at the Thirsty Whale at the Pavilion and Poplar Creek! Bullet pigs forever!
Mick, I saw you guys on this tour 3 times and a couple years later you and the Boys played a local club in the South a couple days after our birthdays. We got to chat for a minute after the show 😎👍👌🎵🎸🎶🔊🔊
Thanks Johnnie! Nice to see you here!
@@micksweda5831 hopefully we can celebrate again next year
🤘😎🤘
DAMMMM naerly 33 years later. I'm still a massive fan.
Awww...shucks! Thank you, Brutus!! 😀
Mick you are a BEAST on guitar bro!!! I stole your licks and stage moves when i played in bands in the 90's/early 2000s. Love your sound and style and looks! So do my wife and sister LOL Rock On my brother \m/ SWEDA!!!! \m/
Thank you so much, my friend!!
I first saw these guys on their first tour at a place outside Milwaukee called Billy's Old Mill (doesn't exist any more). I just remember how polished and professional these guys seemed to be. They were very new at this point, but you could see that they were gonna attract a lot of attention. I didn't know at the time that Mick Sweda was one of the guitar players in King Kobra. They just seemed to come out of nowhere.
Thanks and cheers to you!
Mick I just found your Channel. The demos are incredible. I hope u have more u can post here for us. Dont make us wait till Pigs actually do fly !!😂🔥
Thanks and stay in touch!!
Hi Mick and thank you so much for posting this great and rare footage. We love stuff like this. The backstage and soundcheck footage never gets old. I've always wanted to ask, what has to happen to get more pro shot concert video released especially from that ABC "In Concert 91?" That tv show was so cool to give people at home a chance to see their favorite bands, especially hard rock and metal. They only broadcast "Hang on St. Christopher" that night it aired. So many people missed shows that even 30 years later wished they had gone too. I'm definitely one of those people who love to see what BulletBoys looked and sounded like in that 1991 Freakshow era and time period right before the whole grunge thing took over. From what it looked like, BulletBoys had a completely different yet really heavy vibe in 91. It would be very cool to see that whole show. Sorry for the ramble and all the best in your endeavors.
Thanks, CD! Yeah, we wanted to get a bit heavier as we went on. And you rule!!
After doing a bit of research, without even knowing it, I might have seen Marq and Mick live before BulletBoys. I happened to see KISS in April of 1986 (Asylum tour I think) at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. KING KOBRA was the opening band. I was sitting way way up in the arena. I didn't know anything about KING KOBRA at the time but I do remember the bass players' solo. At one point during the solo, he was laying on top of his bass and humping it. I have to edit this and add that, after watching a recent interview with Marq Torien, Lonnie was that bass player
Hi Greg, only Johnny Rod did those sorts of perverted, debased and utterly hilarious things. 😀
@@micksweda My mistake! I jumped to the wrong conclusion. Anyway, I have Feel The Heat in my Rock playlist and it was in there for a long time
Fayetteville nc April 1989 cinderella winger bulletboys...still have pics from the show...Lonnie and Jimmy showed up at the burger King I was at after the show...unreal for an eighteen year old
😀
LOVE this! Is there more for sale? One of my favorite bands - So glad you guys are back!
Thanks TT!
Badass!!!
You rule, Eddie!
I stuck up for this band back in 89 when I was getting flack from all the Metallica people. Do a full reunion tour!
Same here! I was 13 in 1989. Wore this cassette out!! Also got shit from the Metallic guys.
It's coming Bulletboys When Pigs Fly 2020 Reunion Tour 😎🔥🚬🍺🥃
The band was actually reunited prior to the pandemic, wonder what happens now?
You guys are the best! Thanks so much!
These guys were awesome all the way around. But, mick on guitars was always my favorite. Dude could rip on that guitar.
23:07 Gibson Les Paul Standard? Same one as at the Ozzy Concert in Philadelphia 89. Love that guitar. Seemed like a real workhorse. Big sound.
Yep, all Standards back then aside from Bones, the Deluxe.
@@micksweda hi, thanks for the bit of info there on the Standards.
Had no idea who Bulletboys where but first time I saw you play was on MTV in Australia in the early 90s when they showed the "In Concert 91" out of USA (might of been video of show in California?), you did a moody heavy version of Hang on St Christopher on an Explorer I think it was.
Great playing Mick as always. But. Lonnie still had the best hair
Watch it!!!! 😀
Detroit misses the Bullet Boys, the original line up.
But i know, that Mark is a an absolute asshole, and has burned many bridges
Mick Sweda, is bulletboys going to release any unreleased songs or a new album with the last two singers and back with marq? I thought you guys were going to come out with a new album a few years ago with the last 2 singers you had working on studio tracks?
You never know but it will be down the line.
@@micksweda5831 I hope so would be nice to get a live album from bulletboys or boxset of demos. They have the demos tapes of some songs on youtube from MCA before the first album. The Second Album has a chorus pedal on the guitar tracks. I would like to hear the second album more raw like the first album more naked and raw with out the effects. There is no information what studio gear, pedal effects, amplifiers were used on the first album. Not sure if its a JCM800 marshall head or something else.
@@waynegram8907 No pedals, stright into a Jose Arredondo modded Marshall.
@@micksweda5831 thanks for the info
Hopefully you guys had a proper burial for those cymbals since Jimi killed them during Smooth Up!
Zildjians bro.. They dont die easily.. ;)
man, im jsut stumbling across this stuff. good shit!
mick, if ya get a chance, can you check out my band Va Va Voom here on youtube or facebook.com/vavavoomrock thatd be super rad of you!
😀
Way better than Blue Murder.
I don't compare the two, they're both good in their own right.
😀
