FASTER PUSSYCAT Taime Downe His Own House Of Pain

[@re8746]

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.

[@anthonyrivers1619]

I'm also 52...agreed!

[@jmgmarcus808]

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.

[@re8746]

I get it. Good times. @@jmgmarcus808

[@annetteslife]

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

[@rediron44]

I just saw Faster Pussycat in Cincinnati last week. Had a blast

[@djsavage2421]

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.

[@at0micwerew0lf]

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. 🍺⚡🍺

[@ScottElblein]

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.

[@ghostscalper6159]

Well... If you know him and if you are really a friend, tell him to slow down on the booz.

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 ~ .

[@dcinsc7]

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!

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!

[@WhateverHappenedToFun]

@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!

[@DBCooper81]

100 fuckin %, I couldnt agree more

[@severinlourenco8355]

Back in the day, saw them many times as an opening act on tour, enjoying their few hits 😀.

[@Kurt54321]

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.

[@anthonylynch4737]

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.

[@dowens3781]

They haven't had him on yet? I figured he would've been one of the first 80's glam metal musicians they interviewed.

[@rodwilliams4170]

I remember hearing Don't you change that song - and thinking this is great!!!

[@harmoneebliss777]

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

[@chrisl1634]

For me it was number on the bathroom wall. But that entire tape was great. I wore it out lol.

[@benben-sl7hi]

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!👑🎸🤘🏻

[@MotleyDawg034]

👊💀👍NoDoubt!

Taime looks and sounds great. So happy he got cleaned up and is still around to keep rocking today.

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.

The first band I ever saw in a club was Faster Pussycat in 1987 at L'Amour in Brooklyn .. I was 16 and it was an incredible show - the band, the chicks, everything ... I saw them on every tour, and they were always great .. About a decade later, I saw them with the changed lineup - Greg and Brent were still there - but I can honestly say it was the worst show I have ever seen .. Nobody was into it - including some of the guys in the band... Taime saying "I wrote the songs, it is my band" - yeah, without Brent and Greg, you've done nothing in decades except rehash the original songs ... Funny how those songs from the 80s still hold up, but that fake , third rate NIN shit is cringeworthy and dated
