This song came out at the tail end of the hair-metal era, in 1990. "Fly to the Angels" was off Slaughter's debut album, which ROCKED. "Up All Night" and "Spend My Life" were also awesome tracks off that album. They kind of petered out after grunge music took over the airwaves, but there's no denying Mark Slaughter (yes, that was his real name) had an incredible voice!

One of the greatest stories I can never forget about this band. I was driving to school I believe it was my senior year. It took roughly 30 minutes to get there. Dj for one of the radio stations is taking morning request, opens up the line. Guy request Slaughter says he was at the concert a couple of nights earlier and then ended up running into slaughter at like an IHOP. Told about how Slaughter came over to his house and jammed at his house until the early morning and were really nice people. The DJ basically calls the guy a liar and treats him like an ass. Couple songs later, the Dj comes on and says he wanted to apologize to the previous caller, they have Mark Slaughter on the line. They patch him in so he is on air. He then corroborates events of the evening. Tells the DJ thank you for his time, thanks his fans, thanks the guy that let him hang at his house.

The singer was asked about the origins of the Slaughter song “Fly To The Angels” to which he stated: “That song was written about a girlfriend who I went to high school with. I remember I came back from touring and couldn’t get a hold of her. So I asked a friend and he told me he hadn’t seen her. The next thing I know, he calls me back with the news that she had passed away and the funeral was the next day. It was one of those surreal moments. I went to her funeral and it inspired me to write a song about letting go. There’s a real sense of composure in going through those life events that I’m always very conscious of in my music. Seeing what it does for other people is why I continue to write.”

This was the VERY END of this kinda music. 1991 was already pushing it. As soon as Nirvana and Pearl Jam hit later that year, this music style was flying to the angels lol. Usually music slowly morphs into the next thing, but this time it was 2 completely different kinds of music that came from different worlds and it was an abrupt change. Mr Bigs " to be with you" in early 92 was the very last song of this sort and I think that only slipped through because of the MTV "unplugged" concerts, where the focus was on normally-electric bands playing acoustic. Unplugged was huge and encompassed all kinds of artists

Close, but I think it was country that came back with a bang. Garth Brooks came out and pushed the hairbands right out! I remember Metallica complaining about "who the heck is Garth Brooks?" LOL.

What a beautiful and underated song/voice/group. Unfortunately by the time they got on scene....hair bands were going out and they got lumped with the rest instead of their merits 😓. Y'all need to check out White Lion....'Wait' and 'When The Children Cry'. Won't be disappointed 🕊️💗

"Little Fighter" is another one of their hits. A very underrated song by them. It's too bad that the guitarist Vito Bratta left the band and dropped off from the music scene

Mark Slaughter was my high school crush! I could not stop listening to him sing! Fly to the angles was about a girlfriend he was trying to reconnect with after touring and he found out she had passed away. My favorite song from him was "Up all Night"!

Saw them open for Ozzy in '93 they were never my thing but this is a def good song and if you know the backstory of how it was written about one of Marks ex's who he had lost touch with only to find out she had died. I approve of power ballads with real meaning for the artist.

@@robertburns4429 yeah as a band and performers they were solid. Did UKJ do Cats in the Cradle? That was my first experience of 10,000 lighters at a show. I'd only been to small venues before that. Saw Testament and Green Jello when they became Green Jelly they did this whole big announcement 30 years later looking back that was my best summer as a High schooler. 17 and care free with a killer ride and a good after school job.

Whew! I was trying to hold it together and then I saw you cry. I, too, have heard this song before but never really had it impact me as much as it does now. I lost my Mom (my best friend) last April and have been sooooo struggling with it. Grief is a fickle thing. It never really goes away; we just scar over the wound but it's always there with us for the rest of our days, waiting to bubble up -- OR ERUPT like a volcano. This song epitomizes that struggle of not wanting to let them go but recognizing that it's their time to soar. I'm so sorry for your friends' troubles and I hope they will be OK.
