Greatly underrated band. As a 17 year old finding my way through music I’ve found these guys and do NOT regret it!!

[@billhillify4924]

The music scene coming out of LA in the early 80’s, carried by MTV...blew me away in junior high school...it was like nothing I had seen before. Just think of the bands at that time. It was a total explosion that eventually fizzled out 10 years later, but that initial surge won’t be forgotten by me.

Many bands of the most extremes genres of metal nowadays can't conjure the raw power and energy of some glam metal bands of the 80's. Here it is the example.

[@danjohnson4082]

This band was entirely in sync with what was going on at that time, and they should have been much bigger than they were. Combine Twisted Sister and Def Leppard and you would get something like this. Very underrated band...

[@GroupRIPS]

I’m from that time and I’ve never heard of em. To me Black n Blue was Sabbath & Cult How did I missed this I dunno but it’s tight 😮

It great to see Ace Frehley's old band.

Tommy is a far better guitarist than Ace TBH.

[@AGiLARockbandToronto]

KISS brought me here. Checking out Tommy Thayer....this is a great Rock N Roll and I like it.

[@elvis5138]

Discovered this band due to being a huge Kiss fan, and honestly a part of me wished that Tommy and the rest would’ve had the same succes as Motley Crue due how good they sound. Even though I couldn’t think of anyone better than tommy to fill Ace’s shoes or anyone more deserving than Tommy to get that spot in kiss because he did indeed work for it. It wasn’t handed to him.

[@timothywallace1850]

I saw them open for kiss in 1985 or 1986 in Philadelphia. GREAT live show!!! I know that Gene hired Tommy to be a road manager and keep an eye on Ace during the KISS reunion tour. Tommy DEFINITELy earned his place in KISS.

[@exelentation1]

Many comments here talking about Dee Snider´s influence on the singer´s look, but in those years Dave Lee Roth was the reference for all the 80s generation of blonde singers...absolutely no questioning about it...every band wanted to have a singer with Dave´s look.

[@MrJett1971]

C’mon. You can’t look at this guy and not think Dee Snider. He even has the same facial features. DLR never had a perm like this. If anything, his hair was feathered and straight

[@goatbut29]

I was 13 when this came out and loved the whole "tape".

Hell yeah, love this song! If I could mod the soundtrack of my racing games, THIS is one of many countless songs that I would add into the race bgm! Seriously, I can't for the life of me imagine how any speed demon wouldn't want to blast this song out the stereo while putting the pedal to the metal and tearing up the race track! Even thinking about it, I can feel the adrenaline rush surging through my veins like electricity through a wire, and I'm in tears of joy from the sensation! It's like I WANNA DRIVE WAY OVER THE SPEED LIMIT!

Wouldn't you rather blast 'Autoblast' from the same BNB album? That's the car song!

@@michaelschmidt9708 Sure, that sounds like another good driving song!

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

Grew up right in the middle of this but I don't remember this one. Maybe it's cuz there was 10,000 other bands that sounded just like this but I was mostly into good guitar I didn't care for the cheesy glam look on stage unless the guitar kick your ass. What these guys sound all right Sounds like every other band I grew up with. Kind of cool when you can turn on something you never heard and your kids think it's cheesy and you love it....😊🤘

Very underrated band specially as musicians as evidenced by Tommy being part of kiss at least temporarily that speaks to the talent in the band and multiple very good albums that didn't get the airplane they should have.
