Contraband - All the Way From Memphis

[@johnband3]

Still a great song in 2023. It never gets old. Thanks for sharing.

[@royalslack]

I prefer Mott The Hoople’s original version.

[@michaellundie2953]

I do not like the original. But this song is fire 🔥

[@geofflake132]

Michael Schenkers solo s on this song are incredible and what a fantastic sound he gets. Great work

[@littlemark01]

this is my favorite lead of his, ever and thats sayin' a lot!

[@jacintofragoso1211]

Guns Burns that just a little he does he sounds real good on this

[@ronsegura4848]

Michael Schenker is Tha SHIT!!!!!!! ANY WORK THAT HES INVOLVED IN IS BADDDD ASSSSS!!!!

@@ronsegura4848 hey love michael!!! But there's no way around it that gunn burns with those notes!!!

[@cornelius0113]

i was in grade school doing air guitar to his solos when i they played this on the radio in the Philippines.

[@mz6504]

Beautiful moment in time …

[@patrickreeves4650]

Richard Black is a great singer, and this album was pretty solid. Its a shame the band wasn't treated as a priority for its members. the tour fizzled with lack of preparation, and not being taken seriously by the bands that the members were from. Richard Black gave a great interview talking about how the band hadn't even rehearsed before the first gig and that he couldn't even tell what song was being played. Richard is a great singer.

[@Menyhard]

When music was fun

[@rudeboy308HQ]

I had the cassette back when. Schenker is the shred master and Traci Guns is a phenom.

[@FlorizelSantos]

I love you Contraband forever rock on guys

[@therockman6482]

I have this entire album posted on my channel in fabulous sound!!

[@andrewcrisp9391]

Excellent version.

[@robertclausing5717]

Tracii Guns and Michael Schenker... How I would have loved to have seen these guys live!

[@themobseat]

If you watch an interview with the lead singer, they were a trainwreck live. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4bMd5ygn9KmgtE&ab_channel=MitchLafon around the 14:00 mark

[@michaelfrazia4569]

man the solos they'd be ripping...love em both...they unfortunately never actually played live together....with rehearsals and a better plan this band could have been amazing live...

[@TheChrash67]

They did a few gigs together

[@Rockshredder]

Schenker is on fire on this entire album!

[@Dingbotz]

His best work IMO

[@beenderedonedat]

true, but then, when isn't he? his flow is impeccable

[@moutazmattar2307]

Great song cover and beautiful super group

[@michaelfrazia4569]

Richard black was one of the best singers of the era

[@mikezaluski3085]

Tracii said that he and Axl loved RB and never missed a show.

[@john-xc3iy]

I always heard that he and Tracii could not stand each other?@@mikezaluski3085

[@SharkIslandOfficial]

Well thank you for the support! What did you think of Bloodline 2.020?

[@karyn552003]

I lived in Hollywood during this era and had the worst crush on him!

[@michaelcurrier4977]

One of my all time favorite tunes!!! This tune just plain rocks!!!

[@jaded2424]

You know it's a cover, right ?

[@michaelconway6720]

@@jaded2424 Yes, I do. Mott The Hoople. Contraband breathed new life into it.

[@maggycamardella9035]

@@michaelconway6720 Good cover, but this song never died.

[@jonasirw1]

Absolutely killer solo by Schenker.. I can totally hear his influence on Warren D's style.

[@orejotus]

i remember this video mtv headbangers ball

[@john-xc3iy]

I`m a huge Tracii fan, but damn Schenker`s solos cut like a samurai sword!

Traci sporting a Johnny Thunders shirt, and a TSOL shirt all in the same vid……legendary!

I wish these guys would have done more.

[@Karmelot76]

Amazing project, superb tune!

[@idesofmarch2368]

Always loved this song. Really nice job!

[@mz6504]

Superband!!!!! Love the Mott…..but this version is incredible…….

[@VedyPet]

Supper song! Supper solo Shenker!

[@dennishelm9358]

You can't go wrong when you combine the Scorpions (or MSG at the time) and Ratt. What a fantastic project for each one of these heavy hitters.

[@rediron44]

Plus Tracii Guns

[@Fortwentt]

i guess thats why this was so good. unknown huh

[@CM-ym1rw]

This is such a great album! Every song!!

[@PeterBoyle-j4c]

Rock and roll 🤟🌼🥳

[@ptb351]

I saw them in Tampa in '91...sounded great. It was a short set(on tour with Ratt/LA Guns), but they sounded great that night.

[@jamesrogers6429]

With Michael ?

[@patrickreeves4650]

@@jamesrogers6429Pretty sure Michael was touring with Ratt at this point as they had booted Crosby on that tour. Contraband only lasted a short time on the tour because it imploded. Bang Tango then was brought out with Britny Fox.

[@ryandeanlindgren9054]

Great Cover and Line up.

Way better than the original by Mott and the Hoople. I remember this on ZRock, back in the late 80's.

[@rondosal]

I love Mott the Hoople, but this song rips!!

[@rediron44]

Z Rock was awesome. We had an affiliate in Cincinnati

[@UrbanGardeningWithD.A.Hanks14]

We had one here in CLT too; I think at was Z100. They were always on AM bands. Remember the skits and off the wall songs they used to play? Those were the days of cool rock stations.@@rediron44

[@simonharwar8083]

I liked Ratt, L.A. Guns, and Vixen, but still much prefer the original by Mott the Hoople . Mick Ralphs lead in that version is far superior . of course, opinions vary.
