Bulletboys - For The Love Of Money (Video)

[@Rick-o-Rama]

I remember seeing Bulletboys,Winger,and Cinderella. For the encore, all three bands came on stage and played Sweet Home Alabama.Those were the days !!!

[@BrianCrabtree-sn3on]

I seen all three along with Bon Jovi as the headliner in 89 possibly 90 and they had an awesome set.

[@jeanne7617]

I went to a lot of concerts but not any of them were in my area!!! So jealous!!

[@AdamRoss1975]

This band had talent, but their songs sucked.

[@ms38wr1]

I saw that tour in Columbus GA. It was so packed & hot security was squirting water in peoples mouths if you were close enough to the front

[@mauer62]

These guys did this song justice for sure. I had a chance to hang out with these guys back in 90 and they were just regular guys with no egos smokin some weed lol. I was also a musician guitarist in a LA Heavy metal band at the time. Those were the good ol days. Damn life was good back then. It sucks getting old.

I remember playing on the same bill as Marq back in the day. It was his own band called Torein. Power trio. He sang and played a mean guitar, too. Just as good as anyone out there at the time. I was playing in a band called Raven back then. A small venue called Stage 1 in LA. Marq was a nice guy. Very talented.

Once a year or so they would reunite but he had to sue the others as they tried to steal the name.ted temoleman was their manager/producer same as van halen.

[@fretlessman71]

Not only does this rock really hard, but it really pays homage and respect to the original O'Jays tune of the same name. Worth checking out if you're of a mind - imagine the "disco/funk/gospel" version of this tune, and you're close! Plus it has the very excellent Anthony Jackson playing his flanged-out bass on the track.

[@IveWokenNow]

I had the pleasure of spending some time with Marq when he toured a few years ago. A good friend of mine was playing bass for him. He still has an amazing voice, he's still in great shape, and he can still shred a guitar. I found a cd while we were on the road that contained a song done by Marq Torien - he covered Bon Jovi's Livin' On A Prayer. I took the cd into his room and he said he'd never heart it. I sat with him as he heard the song for the first time. Cool stuff.

Sadly I lost it when I moved to Florida a year later. It's a pity that the store I bought it at as well as the glam metal era are both gone. It sure brings back the memories, a feeling of nostalgia and sadness since it's an era that we will never have again. The music of today just plain sucks.
