The whole "Boys in Heat Album is great" Standin the Shadows of Love" "In Motion", and they covered Nazarith's "Hair of the Dog" Dare I say they did it better. So keep up the Britney Fox reactions. THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
YES!!! I'm always surprised so many reaction channels miss Skid Row's debut song. It's fantastic! I guess there's just so many great bands with great songs, some get overlooked.
@@dustinjones8887I saw a good excellent concert at the girl's school, it was a band AX c, they got a song called rock and roll rock and roll party in the street. It's over court, there is a recording of this indeed axy rock and roll party in the street it's on RUclips. I saw this at the girl's school
@@dustinjones8887Oz like a 14? Maybe 15? I went going to the girl's school when Diane Alexander is there jam and we had a rock and roll party in the street. L o, what did it right
Britny Fox & Cinderella were both formed in Philadelphia. Some members were former members of Cinderella. It's their connections with Cinderella that got them signed.Great song Great reaction Jay & Amber
Some water should actually hook up with. Turn the video on the driving and cry. I got a good video for the song. Fly me courageous by driving and crying like the videos
Singer is Dizzy Dean Davidson! A criminally underrated hair band! The lead guitarist has some amazing riffs and solos! Long Way To Love should be your next Britny Fox reaction! These guys were SO good!
I would love to see y’all react to Guns N Roses “Used to Love Her”. I think your reaction would be priceless!! Trying not to give anything away, but I don’t think this is anything you would expect and the shock factor of the lyrics would make y’all’s reaction hilarious.
Another band around that time that rocked that no one has ever reacted to is Bang Tango. "Someone Like You" was their only moderate successful song but they had a lot of cool songs.
Great reaction to this song! Another 80s hair band y’all should check out is Danger Danger, “Bang Bang”. I know Jay likes those double name bands, lol 😎🤘
Another great Philly hair band. The guitarist (Michael Kelly Smith) and drummer (Tony Destra) were original members of Cinderella, with Dizzy Dean Davidson on vocals. They are visually and sound wise very similar to Cinderella. Sadly the drummer died in a car crash in I think 87 or so. They used to rock the Empire Rock Club in Northeast Philly. That place was a hot bed for hair metal in the late 80's. It also produced another Philly hair band in Heavens Edge, you should check them out too.
Gotta do "Long Way To Love" next. They have a lot of great songs like "Fun In Texas", "Rock Revolution", and that is only their debut album. "Standing in the Shadows", "Angel In My Heart", "Dream On". The band has a lot of great songs.
'Stacy's Mom' by Fountains of Wayne is a very catchy song. The video can easily be related to nearly every young teenage boy... 187 million views and counting...
I have suggested this numerous times in numerous methods . Fountains of Wayne tried to get Ric lead singer of The Cars for video instead they got a kid that looks like him in beginning of video ,the I ❤RIC license plate and at end the copying of scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High which had The Cars - Moving in Stereo as part of soundtrack.
I think a VH1 host commented on this music video and its ironic connection to 'Baby one more time' by Britney Spears... Both music videos had Catholic school girls dancing a decade apart. His comment was something like - "In 1988, we got Britney Fox... and a decade later in 1998, we got Britney Spears..." 😂
Hey guys. Glad to be on board w u! Check out Winger, “Seventeen” and Skid Row, “Monkey Business.” I don’t think you’ll be disappointed- oh! And also Great White, “Rock Me!”
History. Britny Fox formed in 1985 in Philadelphia. The band was originally fronted by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist "Dizzy" Dean Davidson. The band also featured Billy Childs on bass, former Cinderella guitarist Michael Kelly Smith on lead guitar and former Cinderella drummer Tony Destra on drums. I used to jam to this album a lot. It's pretty good. (Britny Fox - Fun In Texas) is a MUST. It's so good.
WOW! I never thought I would see a reaction to a Brittany Fox video. I graduated with the lead singer (Dean Davidson). I remember him playing in the Lincoln High School gymnasium with his band. He was already a rock star. I saw them perform at some local clubs. They were loud. Great reaction. You may want to check out another ban named Heaven's Edge, who were also from the Philadelphia club scene during that era.
My first exposure to Britny Fox was in high school. I saw them in concert in 89 or 90. They opened for Joan Jett. Been a fan ever since. Thanks for the vid. Love your channel.
Great tune! Check out 'Long Way to Love' as well, it has a great solo. The singer Dean Davidson left the band as the 80s metal scene was losing steam. He formed the band Black-Eyed Susan that had a different sound. Give 'None of It Matters' a listen. For a GREAT 80s metal experience, you need to check out Blue Murder. There's not a bad song on their debut album. You can take your pick. I would recommend starting with 'Valley of the Kings.'
Good band. This was their only song I believe that I've heard but give "Long Way To Love" a shot. Other songs are: "Standing In The Shadows" "Dream On" "Save The Weak" "Louder" "Hold On" "Rock Revolution" and "Long Way From Home."
Britney Fox was formed in Philly (Same as Cinderella) in the 80's and was hit w/ line-up changes before the 90's came in and decimated their career... The band released their debut album in 1988 and it was a hit, selling gold in the US (half million copies) and followed it up w/ the 2nd album "Boys in heat" was not as successful, despite their cover of Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog"... These were the only Britney Fox albums w/ the line-up of: 'Dizzy' Dean Davidson (vocals & guitar), Michael Kelly Smith (guitar), Johnny Dee (drums) and Billy Childs (bass) In 1990, 'Dizzy' Dean Davidson left the band to form his own band Black-Eyed Susan. They released 1 album in 1991 titled 'Electric rattlebone'... and it was a commercial failure. Black-Eyed Susan split up in 1992... Britney Fox replaced Davidson w/ Tommy Paris (vocals & guitar) and released a 3rd album 'Bite down hard' in 1991... but it failed commercially and the band split up as well in the wake of 90's grunge rock. In 2000, Britney Fox reunited to tour again w/ Tommy Paris in the line-up... they released a 4th album 'Springhead motorshark' in 2003 (After a live album in 2001 - "Long way to live!) ... The line-up changed over the next 2 decades and no new music was made... Attempts by 'Dizzy' Dean Davidson to reunite the original band failed... Currently, only Billy Childs (bass) has been playing shows as Britney Fox w/ new members. More Britney Fox songs - 'Long way to love' ... 'Louder' ... 'Standing in the shadows' ... 'Fun in Texas'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘
We used to hang out in the Philly area, drink beer and hang out with Philly area bands. Dizzy Dean Davidson played drums for a band we hung out with World War 3 before he left WW3 and formed Britny Foxx. Johnny Dee and Michael Kelly Smith used to hang out with us in Conshohocken at Walt's house. Best years of my life. From what I remember anyway.
[edit] Britny Fox formed in 1985 in Philadelphia. The band was originally fronted by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist "Dizzy" Dean Davidson. Excerpt taken from Wikipedia.
the lead singer and rhythm guitar player is - "Dizzy" Dean Davidson, lead guitar player is - Michael Kelly Smith, bass player is - Billy Childs, and drummer is - Johnny "Dee". this was the original lineup. as with most bands, different members have come and gone over the years. a song by them to listen to next- "Dream On". a few more hair band songs to listen to - Great White - "Rock Me", Firehouse -"love of a lifetime", and Mr. Big - "green tinted sixties mind". it's always great to hear your reactions.
Great reaction to an awesome band from my early hair-metal daze growing up in Philly. And a shout-out to the commenters that remember the late, great Empire Rock Club on Roosevelt Boulevard in NE Philly! I saw Britny Fox perform there in 1991, and I'll never forget that it was the clearest, loudest metal show I can remember in a small club atmosphere. That venue was awesome...😎🎸🎶
im also from philly. seen them a few times. even seen the hooters and the A's. even robert hazzard. and of course cinderella. i even remember a group called (down & out) i think they were out of port richmond.. the empire was awsome.. also seen a bunch of shows at the tower at 69th and market and the TLA on south st. also at the troc on arch... i used to buy all my tapes and vinyl at peaches on the blvd.
I really miss this music! Gotta try out White Lion "Little Fighter." All I can say is music just kicked butt at that time! I just turned 50 in October and can't believe this is now considered "old "! I remember being so into Michael Jackson Thriller when I was just maybe 9, and then by my early teens, GunsN' Roses ruled my world. You know, what a time to be a kid. It was awesome. The 80s really was a great time, you two. Thank you for this today. I really starting to feel old!
Britny Fox "Long Way To Love"was another hit song! Cool video too!🤘🤘 Another great band is Saraya "Love has taken its Toll" Sandi Saraya is a great singer!!
As many others have probably stated, band was formed in Philly with former members of Cinderella. No idea if the singer set out to mimic Tom Keifer's singing style or if it is just coincidence. They didn't have the success of the bigger acts of the time, but "Long Way to Love" is a bone fide classic. Also love the much forgotten "Dream On" (not an Aerosmith cover).
I love the song, ‘long way from home’ from their second album. Their lead singer Dean Davidson left them after their second album and formed the blues hard rock band, ‘Blackeyed Susan’.
Hello from northeast Ohio. Even though they had moderate success, I liked this band. The video for this song was filmed in September 1988, the month that I turned 15 years old. That was when MTV was huge, and their Saturday night show called "Headbanger's Ball" was something we all watched each week, and Britny Fox was often played on there. They had another song from this album, called "Long Way To Love", if you would like to react to it. Cheers!
I saw Britny Fox live in L.A. in 1988; they and Kix opened for Ratt. It was an awesome show! I headbanged so much my neck hurt for two days afterwards! 😂
Thank you! I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who was requesting this song. I heard it about 10 years after it was released, and hair metal was dead via grunge. Glad you enjoyed it, just about everyone I know has never heard this song.
I was in the 8'th grade in the fall of 1988 when this was brand new. I never heard Girlschool on the radio but Long Way To Love I hear for a good 6 weeks in late Summer 1988. I bought the cassette tape from Camelot Music at the Fashion Square Mall. My personal favorite track from Britney Fox is "Don't Hide"
This video was on all the time on MTV right as I was starting high school and it reminds me of just turning 14 and wishing I could look like the girls in the video.
Johnny Dee is the drummer. For the last 30 years he's been the drummer for the Metal Queen, Doro Pesch. I just saw him last Saturday in Dusseldorf at her 40th anniversary show (and the day before at a party for the band). We've been friends for 15 years now. He's a great guy. Britny Fox attempted a reunion a little before the pandemic but internal issues with a couple members put a stop to that.
Long Way to Love is another song that is great with Dean singing. The band he did after Britny Fox is Black eyed Susan and they had some good music too!
Glad you guys loved Britney Fox. There were so many good bands of this genre back in the day that maybe it got a little bit busy. Dizzys voice was definitely unique and a major part to the bands success. Long way to love is another absolute belter by theses guys. Oh and if you play guitar,then ‘Girlschool’ isn’t actually that hard to play either. Love you guys and respect from England. How about a reaction to Slaughters ‘fly to the angels’? His voice will blow you out of your home!
Back in the 80s where I think 17 was the age of consent if you listen to Winger “seventeen”, Britney fox in this song, The Police “Don’t stand so close to me “…lol. this stuff wouldn’t fly nowadays at all…80s hair rock was rarely about anything other than partying, girls and having fun…and if you lived that lifestyle during that time these songs were like anthems that take you back like a time machine…..what a great time to be young !,…unfortunately that means I am old now…😂
i know i am way late to this video, but Britny Fox are easily one of my favorites, and probably one of the most underrated bands of that time. Songs are so, so simple, yet they are all absolute bangers! great reaction guys! this made me happy!
Dizzy Dean on Vocals and rhythm Guitar, Michael Kelly Smith on Guitar, he used to play in Cinderella. Johnny Dee on Drums and Billy Childs on Bass..325
If y'all requesting this why not request the better hair band songs: 1) L.A. Guns - Never Enough 2) Ratt - Wanted Man 3) Blue Murder - Jelly Roll 4) Aerosmith - Deuces are Wild; F.I.N.E. 5)Winger - Can't Get Enuff 6) Cinderella - Bad Seamstress Blues/Falling Apart at the Seams 7) McCauley- Schenker Group - Give Me Your Love 8) Scorpions - Loving You Sunday Morning; I Can't Explain 9) Dangerous Toys - Scared 10 Junkyard - Hollywood 11 Dokken - Burning Like A Flame 12) Faster Pussycat - Poison Ivy, Where There's A Whip 13 ) Whitesnake - Slow N Easy 14) Queensryche - Suite Sister Mary 15)Living Color - Love Rears It's Ugly Head
@@GMad-sc4uk my baby broke all the rules at the girlschool and stayed after school, acting real cool, now she lives on the street and does meth all day
“Save The Weak” is a great ballad that they did off the same album. The singer, Dizzy Dean Davidson, would leave the band after their second album and form a new band called Blackeyed Susan. You should check them out as well.
I remember seeing these guys and Kix opening up for RATT in the late 80's. This was the beginning of the end for the hair metal era. When the record labels started flooding the market with copycat bands pumping out generic product. Then the early 90s happened. The alternstive rock bands, the Seattle grunge bands, and the ever increasing hip hop movement buried the corpse of the hair rock era.
Another local band when I was in my late teens, Mike. and Tony the original drummer and the guitarist were original members of Cinderella, Record label Only wanted Tommy,these guys played in all the local bars back when we were young, Johnny Dee The popular lineup drummer and bass player Billy Childs also played in the late 90s for Mike Lecompte Who had a hit with The third lineup of Tangier, Johnny also played drums for An 80s version of waysted,Pete Way of UFO’s band with Danny Vaughn of Tyketto On vocals, he now tours with Doro, the original vocalist Dean Formed black-eyed Susan, Tommy Paris took over on vocals and currently plays keyboards in a band with lead vocalist the count as most know him from the show counting cars, seen them live and they are great, that guitar at the end is (stage name) Michael Kelly Smith, the original heavier Sound of Cinderella before Jeff
Nice seeing you do this song. It is funny singer Dizzy Dean and guitarist Michael Smith were both in Cinderella to start off. The drummer Johnny Dee was my best friend growing up and was the best man in my wedding. Johnny is now in the band Doro (formally Warlock). Very underrated band. Britny Fox still plays shows, but the only original member left is Bassist Billy Childs.
Da Fox Rox!!!! love these guys....I wore out three copies of their debut.....Still on my playlist....Saw them back in the late 80's with Danger Danger, and Tesla on the same bill....Great show all around.
“Dizzy” Dean Anderson was the singer. I saw them open up for Poison in 1988. Great show! Got to meet Brittany Fox members at a meet and greet earlier in the day before the show. That night was their last show opening for poison, big sold out arena show. They shot the footage for their video “save the weak” I was on the 2nd row
Britny Fox has strong ties to Cinderella another 80's Glam band....Lead Guitarist Michael Kelly Smith & Drummer Tony Destra were both previously in Cinderella. Drummer Tony Destra was killed in a car accident in 1987 as the band was getting popular. He was eventually replaced by Johnny Dee. Check out some other great 80's music from bands like TYKETTO (Burning Down Inside, Sail Away, Seasons, Forever Young, Walk on Fire) & SOUTHGANG (Georgia Lights, Tainted Angel, Aim for the Heart, She's Danger City, Love Ain't Enough, Love for Sale, Misery, My Best Friend's Girl). Those are some overlooked great late 80's early 90's bands that never got the recognition as the music scene was changing to Alternative. Also you gotta give a listen to LIZZY BORDER - Me Agains the World, REDRUM, Shock Treatment.....another great band although they are a bit heavier sound. Also give a listen to SLEEZE BEEZ - Stranger than Paradise, HELIX - Wild in the Streets, Y&T - Summertime Girls there's so many good songs you need to preview!
I actually saw Britny fox live, had only really heard girlschool by them, the were opening RATT and poison , they put on a good show , I even went out and bought the cassette
Another local band, I used to see Cinderella and these guys when they were in Cinderella back in the days when they played in the local bars,Mike and tony The original drummer and guitarist of Cinderella,When Cinderella got signed they only wanted Tommy, Mike schermick and Tony Destra formed another band, Tony died in a fatal car accident immediately after Britney was signed,Johnny Dee Drummer of the popular lineup came from waysted, Pete way’s band fromUFO and Fastway,Johnny and Billy played in the 90s with Mike Lecompt Who made an early 90s hit with Tangier called stranded, which included a very young an unknown Pam Anderson in the video, Deen formed Black eyed Susan, and Tommy Paris took over vocals, nowadays Tommy plays keyboards in a band with vocalist Danny Coker(The count) from counting cars, good band, Billy and his based were around with a bunch of young guys calling themselves Britney fox,And then Kotori you here at the end is (stage name)Michael Kelly Smith. The original heavier sound of Cinderella
Keeping with the 80s hair bands don't know if you guys ever reacted to a band TNT another very underrated band the singer Tony Harnell absolutely amazing voice the song 10,000 lovers or Seven Seas is a good song to get a taste of what the band is all about very cool that you guys enjoy the 80s hair bands also my favorite genre keep rocking
Dizzy Dean Davidson is the singer of the band for the first two albums and the song Girlschool is on their debut album. Britny Fox has another great song and video for the song Louder which was on their third album from 1991 and that song has a different singer named Tommy Paris who came from the band Jillson.
They also had a good cover of Hair of the Dog. Another underated band that actually has several ties to KIss is Black N Blue check out their song Miss Mystery
they were originally formed by ex-members of Cinderella. I was, and remain a big fan. The vocalist when not singing in his "screech voice". . sounds a lot like classic Paul Stanley from KISS. . . . I agree with others, check out "Long Way to Love" from them.
It’s actually “Girlschool”. Their only Hot 100 single, “Long Way To Love”, spent two weeks at #100.
The whole "Boys in Heat Album is great" Standin the Shadows of Love" "In Motion", and they covered Nazarith's "Hair of the Dog" Dare I say they did it better. So keep up the Britney Fox reactions. THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
+1 for 'Long Way To Love'
You'd think somebody on RUclips would get the title right
@@mikeyjones4817 Really!? You're going to complain about that? Just enjoy the video dude.
Bullet Boys ( Smooth Up In Ya ) is a great band from the 80s.
I've suggested this one before 😞, not many reactions to it but it's a banger. Basically the last hair band before grunge came onto the scene.
I back this one, one of my favs.
Yes, bulletboys next guys and trixter give it to me good
There were tons that came out after Bulletboys like Steelheart/Shotgun Messiah/Tyketto/Thunder /Saigon Kick/Firehouse ..That put out classic albums .
I've recommended this for a minute now lol, great jam for sure!
You really need to react to "Bullet Boys" too. Another hair band that had some bangers "Smooth up in ya" "For the love of money" to name a few! 😃
80's POWER! You should revisit a group called Skid Row. "Youth Gone Wild" is a bonafide BANGER!! 💯🔥🔥
I agree
YES!!! I'm always surprised so many reaction channels miss Skid Row's debut song. It's fantastic! I guess there's just so many great bands with great songs, some get overlooked.
Monkey Business is no slouch either!🤘🏻

Britny Fox & Cinderella were both formed in Philadelphia. Some members were former members of Cinderella. It's their connections with Cinderella that got them signed.Great song Great reaction Jay & Amber
Makes sense, because it sounds like this guy is copying Keifer's singing style, or vice versa.
Exactly@@clh35
Dont even put Cinderella and Brittany Fox in the same category! Cinderella blows them away!!!
Some water should actually hook up with. Turn the video on the driving and cry. I got a good video for the song. Fly me courageous by driving and crying like the videos
And I was there for all of it, what a great time to be alive
Singer is Dizzy Dean Davidson! A criminally underrated hair band! The lead guitarist has some amazing riffs and solos! Long Way To Love should be your next Britny Fox reaction! These guys were SO good!
Their first two albums are solid
underrated ?
The first album was just a full on wall of guitars .
Unfortunately, they were often labeled a 'Cinderella clone,' but their tone and style was actually quite different. As you said, solid albums. 👌
Long Way To Love is one of the most underrated songs of the era
DANGEROUS TOYS- " Teasn' Pleasn'" is a great 80's metal tune. Also , not 80's but " NEIGHBOR" by " UGLY KID JOE" is another banger.
YES!! to Dangerous Toys!!! Jay will flip out on that one, esp the guitar solo in with that scatting middle section.
"best of friends" is another awesome one from them or Scared.
I've asked for Dangerous Toys before, so far no go
Ugly Kid Joe is the second worst band I have seen live, Slaughter was the worst.
They were great when I saw them. Wost for me were DOKKEN.
Long Way to Love is a killer track by them.
That track just gets you from the opening guitar riff, and it gets better from there. It's my favorite from the album.
No doubt!
I would love to see y’all react to Guns N Roses “Used to Love Her”. I think your reaction would be priceless!! Trying not to give anything away, but I don’t think this is anything you would expect and the shock factor of the lyrics would make y’all’s reaction hilarious.
Another band around that time that rocked that no one has ever reacted to is Bang Tango. "Someone Like You" was their only moderate successful song but they had a lot of cool songs.
Hey I have something special for you ❤😊
So many memories. First concert ever 11/22/88 opening for Poison. They filmed the video for “your mama don’t dance” that night.
Man I’m old 🤦♂️
Hey I have something special for you ❤
britny fox was a killer band.. that whole record is a jam!!
Great reaction to this song! Another 80s hair band y’all should check out is Danger Danger, “Bang Bang”. I know Jay likes those double name bands, lol 😎🤘
100% agree! Jay would totally dig them! Hopefully they get it on soon🤘
Ted's voice!!! DANGER DANGER... BANG BANG, Naughty Naughty, I Still Think about YOU
I loved One Step From Paradise.
Another great Philly hair band. The guitarist (Michael Kelly Smith) and drummer (Tony Destra) were original members of Cinderella, with Dizzy Dean Davidson on vocals. They are visually and sound wise very similar to Cinderella. Sadly the drummer died in a car crash in I think 87 or so. They used to rock the Empire Rock Club in Northeast Philly. That place was a hot bed for hair metal in the late 80's. It also produced another Philly hair band in Heavens Edge, you should check them out too.
I know Tony was with them but did he ever record any music with them...All I've ever heard was Johnny Dee on drums
Flash back! The Empire Rock Club. Many memories from there and then.
I have Cinderella’s demo tape with Kelly and Destra on them, they were harder and heavier in the clubs! All ages sunday at the Empire!
He died February 8th 1987
Tony Destra must have been their first drummer as the drummer in the video, Johnny Dee, is now with Doro pesch.
My first concert was Poison and Britny Fox in 1988.
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Yay! Getting closer! Finally back to some Hair Metal! Now for some of my favorite Hair Metal, please react to the band Stryper.
Gotta do "Long Way To Love" next. They have a lot of great songs like "Fun In Texas", "Rock Revolution", and that is only their debut album. "Standing in the Shadows", "Angel In My Heart", "Dream On". The band has a lot of great songs.
'Stacy's Mom' by Fountains of Wayne is a very catchy song. The video can easily be related to nearly every young teenage boy...
187 million views and counting...
I have suggested this numerous times in numerous methods . Fountains of Wayne tried to get Ric lead singer of The Cars for video instead they got a kid that looks like him in beginning of video ,the I ❤RIC license plate and at end the copying of scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High which had The Cars - Moving in Stereo as part of soundtrack.
80’s RULED!!!! 😎🤘🔥💜😘
🔥🔥🔥Time for more Poison! I Want Action, or Fallen Angel.....THEY ROCK!!🤘🤘

I used to jam to this album a lot. It's pretty good. (Britny Fox - Fun In Texas) is a MUST. It's so good.
Hey I have something special for you ❤..
The 80s man what a great time for music in general! My favorite yup 80s hair rock hair metal glam rock hard rock.
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Highly underrated band!!! Long Way To Love and Dream On are awesome as well!

I saw them open for Joan Jett too! It was at the submarine base in Groton Connecticut when I was in the navy😄
Great tune! Check out 'Long Way to Love' as well, it has a great solo. The singer Dean Davidson left the band as the 80s metal scene was losing steam.

LOVE this video! Kim Anderson, the main girl featured, was the ULTIMATE 80's hair band video babe!
Good band. This was their only song I believe that I've heard but give "Long Way To Love" a shot. Other songs are: "Standing In The Shadows" "Dream On" "Save The Weak" "Louder" "Hold On" "Rock Revolution" and "Long Way From Home."

Britney fox long way to love
Great reaction to an awesome band from my early hair-metal daze growing up in Philly. And a shout-out to the commenters that remember the late, great Empire Rock Club on Roosevelt Boulevard in NE Philly! I saw Britny Fox perform there in 1991, and I'll never forget that it was the clearest, loudest metal show I can remember in a small club atmosphere. That venue was awesome...😎🎸🎶
im also from philly. seen them a few times. even seen the hooters and the A's. even robert hazzard. and of course cinderella. i even remember a group called (down & out) i think they were out of port richmond.. the empire was awsome.. also seen a bunch of shows at the tower at 69th and market and the TLA on south st. also at the troc on arch... i used to buy all my tapes and vinyl at peaches on the blvd.
Still recommending Stryper for 80's glam, they're still making new stuff too!!
..... This is a BADAZZ song!! Grew up a little boy watching this video over and over. Britny Fox ROCKS.
I really miss this music! Gotta try out White Lion "Little Fighter." All I can say is music just kicked butt at that time! I just turned 50 in October and can't believe this is now considered "old "! I remember being so into Michael Jackson Thriller when I was just maybe 9, and then by my early teens, GunsN' Roses ruled my world. You know, what a time to be a kid. It was awesome. The 80s really was a great time, you two. Thank you for this today. I really starting to feel old!
I just turned 49 in October and I totally agree, we grew up on the best music!!! It was such a great time to grow up!
Hey I have something special for you ❤
"Wait" is another good tune.
OK hold up, now you need to do Winger - Seventeen.
I want to watch Gen Z listen to that song so I can see them meltdown at the lack of trigger warnings.
Yes! Winger's "Seventeen" and the tender "Headed For A Heartbreak".
Battle Stations!!!
Would totally dig you guys being introduced to Winger!! Seventeen…thanks
Mandilane is another good tune.
Down Incognito
Louder and Closer to your love are great songs.
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Britny Fox "Long Way To Love"was another hit song! Cool video too!🤘🤘 Another great band is Saraya "Love has taken its Toll" Sandi Saraya is a great singer!!

Hey I have something special for you ❤..
Yes,yes,yes,yes,yes!!!!
More? You've pretty much heard all they had to offer. These guys were barely a one-hit wonder on the 80s hair metal scene. Truly a blip on the radar.
Hey I have something special for you ❤
The 80’s RULED!!!!!!!!
Bands like this everywhere!!!! Sooo much fun discovering them!!!
Hey I have something special for you ❤
As many others have probably stated, band was formed in Philly with former members of Cinderella. No idea if the singer set out to mimic Tom Keifer's singing style or if it is just coincidence. They didn't have the success of the bigger acts of the time, but "Long Way to Love" is a bone fide classic. Also love the much forgotten "Dream On" (not an Aerosmith cover).
I love the song, ‘long way from home’ from their second album.
Their lead singer Dean Davidson left them after their second album and formed the blues hard rock band, ‘Blackeyed Susan’.
One of the most underrated rock bands...if you want another great song from them try "Long way to love". One of their best!!
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Hello from northeast Ohio. Even though they had moderate success, I liked this band. The video for this song was filmed in September 1988, the month that I turned 15 years old. That was when MTV was huge, and their Saturday night show called "Headbanger's Ball" was something we all watched each week, and Britny Fox was often played on there. They had another song from this album, called "Long Way To Love", if you would like to react to it. Cheers!
Hey I have something special for you ❤....
I'm surprised 80's hair band fans haven't suggested Faster Pussycat, they were fantastic.
How quickly we forget.
Where to begin is the question?
@@MS-ro9dm - My favorites are "Poison Ivy" and "House Of Pain"
Great songs. I was thinking Poison Ivy also. Or Bathroom Wall. @@Robsan40
But, I would not recommend the Poison Ivy video. @@Robsan40
House of pain
Glad you guys finally got to check out Britny Fox!! They are awesome!!
I saw Britny Fox live in L.A. in 1988; they and Kix opened for Ratt. It was an awesome show! I headbanged so much my neck hurt for two days afterwards! 😂
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Thank you! I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who was requesting this song. I heard it about 10 years after it was released, and hair metal was dead via grunge. Glad you enjoyed it, just about everyone I know has never heard this song.
Glad you loved Cinderella II, next up on the Hair Metal front, “Tora Tora” and the song “Guilty”.
Hey I have something special for you ❤..
The 80s had so many awesome underrated bands just like these guys. When they played they brought the sound.
I was in the 8'th grade in the fall of 1988 when this was brand new. I never heard Girlschool on the radio but Long Way To Love I hear for a good 6 weeks in late Summer 1988. I bought the cassette tape from Camelot Music at the Fashion Square Mall. My personal favorite track from Britney Fox is "Don't Hide"
This video was on all the time on MTV right as I was starting high school and it reminds me of just turning 14 and wishing I could look like the girls in the video.
Wow way back machine for this one. Takes me back to my first concert. It was them , Ratt and Winger.
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Johnny Dee is the drummer. For the last 30 years he's been the drummer for the Metal Queen, Doro Pesch. I just saw him last Saturday in Dusseldorf at her 40th anniversary show (and the day before at a party for the band). We've been friends for 15 years now. He's a great guy. Britny Fox attempted a reunion a little before the pandemic but internal issues with a couple members put a stop to that.
Hey I have something special for you ❤..
Long Way to Love is another song that is great with Dean singing. The band he did after Britny Fox is Black eyed Susan and they had some good music too!
Great Tune, Blasted that tune out from 280ZX T-Tops off cruising out on the road nothing to care about except Rock-N-Roll
Glad you guys loved Britney Fox. There were so many good bands of this genre back in the day that maybe it got a little bit busy. Dizzys voice was definitely unique and a major part to the bands success. Long way to love is another absolute belter by theses guys. Oh and if you play guitar,then ‘Girlschool’ isn’t actually that hard to play either. Love you guys and respect from England. How about a reaction to Slaughters ‘fly to the angels’? His voice will blow you out of your home!
Hey I have something special for you ❤..
Britny Fox third cd,Bite down hard, is probably my favorite. Drummer Johnny Dee tours with German female rocker Doro pesch.
Back in the 80s where I think 17 was the age of consent if you listen to Winger “seventeen”, Britney fox in this song, The Police “Don’t stand so close to me “…lol. this stuff wouldn’t fly nowadays at all…80s hair rock was rarely about anything other than partying, girls and having fun…and if you lived that lifestyle during that time these songs were like anthems that take you back like a time machine…..what a great time to be young !,…unfortunately that means I am old now…😂
Hey I have something special for you ❤
FINALLY...I've been preachin' them for years. Now you gotta check out Long Way To Love by them.
Hey I have something special for you ❤
i know i am way late to this video, but Britny Fox are easily one of my favorites, and probably one of the most underrated bands of that time. Songs are so, so simple, yet they are all absolute bangers! great reaction guys! this made me happy!
Yes!! I've been hoping you get to this band! So underrated. 🤘😃

@@GMad-sc4uk my baby broke all the rules at the girlschool and stayed after school, acting real cool, now she lives on the street and does meth all day
Bullettboys - might make you blush
How about power ballads? Britney Fox had a great one called "Dream on!" AND may I add the phenomenal "Forever Free" by W.A.S.P
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Tyvm for doing Britney Foxx. ❤ Love you both, God bless you and your family.
Britney Fox aka Cinderella Light
“Save The Weak” is a great ballad that they did off the same album. The singer, Dizzy Dean Davidson, would leave the band after their second album and form a new band called Blackeyed Susan. You should check them out as well.
Hey I have something special for you ❤
This video used to be on MTV nonstop when it came out.
I remember seeing these guys and Kix opening up for RATT in the late 80's. This was the beginning of the end for the hair metal era. When the record labels started flooding the market with copycat bands pumping out generic product.
Then the early 90s happened. The alternstive rock bands, the Seattle grunge bands, and the ever increasing hip hop movement buried the corpse of the hair rock era.
Another local band when I was in my late teens, Mike. and Tony the original drummer and the guitarist were original members of Cinderella, Record label Only wanted Tommy,these guys played in all the local bars back when we were young, Johnny Dee The popular lineup drummer and bass player Billy Childs also played in the late 90s for Mike Lecompte Who had a hit with The third lineup of Tangier, Johnny also played drums for An 80s version of waysted,Pete Way of UFO’s band with Danny Vaughn of Tyketto On vocals, he now tours with Doro, the original vocalist Dean Formed black-eyed Susan, Tommy Paris took over on vocals and currently plays keyboards in a band with lead vocalist the count as most know him from the show counting cars, seen them live and they are great, that guitar at the end is (stage name) Michael Kelly Smith, the original heavier Sound of Cinderella before Jeff
Nice seeing you do this song. It is funny singer Dizzy Dean and guitarist Michael Smith were both in Cinderella to start off. The drummer Johnny Dee was my best friend growing up and was the best man in my wedding. Johnny is now in the band Doro (formally Warlock). Very underrated band. Britny Fox still plays shows, but the only original member left is Bassist Billy Childs.
Guitarist and drummer left Cinderella before they were signed to form Britney Fox. That's why there is so much similarity between the two.
OMG I knew you guys would dig it. So love j face when dizzy Dean hit that first note. Very underrated
Hahaha I had just emailed recommending this song. Haha ok glad you covered it. It’s one that should not be missed.
Da Fox Rox!!!! love these guys....I wore out three copies of their debut.....Still on my playlist....Saw them back in the late 80's with Danger Danger, and Tesla on the same bill....Great show all around.
Hey I have something special for you ❤..
“Dizzy” Dean Anderson was the singer. I saw them open up for Poison in 1988. Great show! Got to meet Brittany Fox members at a meet and greet earlier in the day before the show. That night was their last show opening for poison, big sold out arena show. They shot the footage for their video “save the weak” I was on the 2nd row
You have got to check out" long way to love" by Britny Fox ! It's their best song by far!
Awesome song
Britny Fox has strong ties to Cinderella another 80's Glam band....Lead Guitarist Michael Kelly Smith & Drummer Tony Destra were both previously in Cinderella. Drummer Tony Destra was killed in a car accident in 1987 as the band was getting popular. He was eventually replaced by Johnny Dee. Check out some other great 80's music from bands like TYKETTO (Burning Down Inside, Sail Away, Seasons, Forever Young, Walk on Fire) & SOUTHGANG (Georgia Lights, Tainted Angel, Aim for the Heart, She's Danger City, Love Ain't Enough, Love for Sale, Misery, My Best Friend's Girl). Those are some overlooked great late 80's early 90's bands that never got the recognition as the music scene was changing to Alternative. Also you gotta give a listen to LIZZY BORDER - Me Agains the World, REDRUM, Shock Treatment.....another great band although they are a bit heavier sound. Also give a listen to SLEEZE BEEZ - Stranger than Paradise, HELIX - Wild in the Streets, Y&T - Summertime Girls there's so many good songs you need to preview!
Dude- the singers name is Dean Davidson. These guys were kind of like a little brother to the band Cinderella. Both bands from Philly.
There we go! More Skid Row, Ratt, Cinderella, Slaughter!
I actually saw Britny fox live, had only really heard girlschool by them, the were opening RATT and poison , they put on a good show , I even went out and bought the cassette
Another local band, I used to see Cinderella and these guys when they were in Cinderella back in the days when they played in the local bars,Mike and tony The original drummer and guitarist of Cinderella,When Cinderella got signed they only wanted Tommy, Mike schermick and Tony Destra formed another band, Tony died in a fatal car accident immediately after Britney was signed,Johnny Dee Drummer of the popular lineup came from waysted, Pete way’s band fromUFO and Fastway,Johnny and Billy played in the 90s with Mike Lecompt Who made an early 90s hit with Tangier called stranded, which included a very young an unknown Pam Anderson in the video, Deen formed Black eyed Susan, and Tommy Paris took over vocals, nowadays Tommy plays keyboards in a band with vocalist Danny Coker(The count) from counting cars, good band, Billy and his based were around with a bunch of young guys calling themselves Britney fox,And then Kotori you here at the end is (stage name)Michael Kelly Smith. The original heavier sound of Cinderella
White snake live...BURN!!! The epitome of 80s hair metal 😊
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Keeping with the 80s hair bands don't know if you guys ever reacted to a band TNT another very underrated band the singer Tony Harnell absolutely amazing voice the song 10,000 lovers or Seven Seas is a good song to get a taste of what the band is all about very cool that you guys enjoy the 80s hair bands also my favorite genre keep rocking
Hands down, the BEST decade in music ever (80's).
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Dizzy Dean Davidson is the singer of the band for the first two albums and the song Girlschool is on their debut album. Britny Fox has another great song and video for the song Louder which was on their third album from 1991 and that song has a different singer named Tommy Paris who came from the band Jillson.
They also had a good cover of Hair of the Dog. Another underated band that actually has several ties to KIss is Black N Blue check out their song Miss Mystery
Hey I have something special for you ❤
Check out "Hold On To 18" as well.
@@richkrulac7994 Great song choice as well.
I love this song! You two are phenomenal! You both have great taste!
Another great song is from brittney fox called save the weak 🤘
I liked the 80’s, but I’m a Boomer, the 60’s & 70’s were my best yrs for music…to each their own👍👏👏👏
This was always on MTV back in the day. I always wondered who came first, Britney Fox or Cinderella...lol
they were originally formed by ex-members of Cinderella. I was, and remain a big fan. The vocalist when not singing in his "screech voice". . sounds a lot like classic Paul Stanley from KISS. . . . I agree with others, check out "Long Way to Love" from them.
