That James Brown split gets me EVERY TIME!!! So freaking cool!

80's bands by then anyway. I just happened to come across this video and watched a little and saw him do the split cameo and his timing was perfect, especially when he comes back up and does his thing with his foot. I had to watch it like 27 times before the awesomeness started to wear off. Be safe and take care.

[@RobertoLombardiActor]

The music and lead vocal were 100% live. The studio version has a lot of guitar and vocal layers. Dean even played around with the melody a bit and Michael's solo was a bit different than on the records. Not lip synced at all.

[@Dem0nD0ll]

Dizzy had the moves and the voice!

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Back then musicians actually played live.

[@FreeMTrider]

It should be live. Most of the bands DID play live back then. But were not that good for playing such simple music. It was just way too cheezy to last.

[@rexmaximilian9548]

Not saying it was the best song or anything, but this song, group, video, etc., simply epitomized what '80s Hair Metal was all about!

As silly as they looked, they nailed that performance. High energy, showmanship, hit all the notes, good stuff.

It defines an era, but as the guy that you called an "asshole" said, and happens to be spot on, itd be tuff to pull this look off nowadays, AND, be taken seriously! You gotta have balls of steel, and hold yer ground, not flinching when donning the look! If I'm wrong, just help me out and point out another "hair band" ("this" look, not biker hair (Zak Wilde)) that still has the "poofy" "ratted" hair! Wasp? Motley? Firehouse? Journey? Ratt? Shit!

This is a gloriously campy performance...but in the 80s, we didn't know it was campy. We didn't know it was cheesy. We just knew it rocked. And we loved it.

[@abefroman70]

smitchix1 Very well said. That’s what I loved about this era of music. Granted every era has its originators then ones following on the coattails and then the ones just being fake as fuck. Such a fun time being in a band or just being a fan. Music today doesn’t have it. More depressing than anything so not really sure what the draw is. I feel that’s it’s anger approached despite of the lyric content.

[@gameboycat05]

Cheesy means unpleasant. What about this is unpleasant? I wish people would just drop the term "cheesy" or if anything, call the music TODAY cheesy because that would make much more sense.

@@motorcityman401well they were half of cinderella’s early line up so not so odd that they sound a little Alike, however they have a completely different sound in the music. Cinderella was more bluesy and straight to their beats while Britny fox was more rock and roll with more groove in their sound. Both were great bands tough.

This is a fun song to play on the drums. Although pretty simple to say the least, it's a hella fun beat to get into, especially once you get the hang of opening and closing the cross over form to get that double snare hit w/o losing a beat on the hi-hats.

[@RonAlbaneseEntertainment]

FreakDaGeek yes ... I learned drums to it! I was just telling my son how hard it was to get that double snare hit down while down quarter notes on the hi-hat!

[@johngold1849]

Just practice really. 8th notes, r hand, 8th notes l hand on the 1&2. Just looks cooler when using r hand 8th on the 1&2 and 1/4 notes on the hat. He doesn't seem to me like he's playing 8th notes on the hat w l hand. Cool groove either way. Love this performance! Dizzy is such a good frontman! Shudda got further..

There's a young guy on KZbin who's recreating the whole Dizzy Dean vibe in BF. It'll be someone like one of these up and coming guys to resurrect the sounds of BF and bands like them, since Dizzy dropped out of rock to do folk music.

[@knutby]

You got a good point, especially when you read this taken from Wikipedia about Cinderella: "Cinderella was formed in Philadelphia in 1982 by singer-songwriter, keyboardist, and guitarist Tom Keifer and bassist Eric Brittingham. The initial lineup also included guitarist Michael Smerick and drummer Tony Destra. In 1985, Smerick and Destra left to form Britny Fox, another Philadelphia-based glam metal band that later relocated to Los Angeles". I think both bands are great tough.

I saw them live in '89, and it didn't sound this good because of the way it was mixed, which is unfortunate, because as one can see from this performance, they were quite good. Take away the hair and all that and what you have is really good, kickass rock and roll. Great guitar solo. I miss the 90s and early 00s, but I have to say that the 80s were quite the time for rock music of all types -- hard rock, metal, alt-rock, there was something for everybody and it was a fun decade for the most part. I miss it.
