Southgang - Tainted Angel

Stand up and rock. This song kicks some ass. Froman

[@livlife4236]

The lead singer is my uncle. I'm not kidding. He's starting a new band called "Bloody red Hearts."

[@Wildcatfever]

Tell your uncle I have that cd I got it from a rock station in Lexington Kentucky and I still have it I loved it

[@TwilightingAngel]

Awesome

[@budwyzer77]

Tell your uncle he's freaking awesome.

[@ericroses3208]

tell you uncle stop being a doutchbag and moking his band back then and come back with a tour

[@ericroses3208]

sry im wrong that was the guitarist who says that 😆

[@KilljoySugarCyanide]

I used to dream I was a badass wrestler named Angel and this was my entrance music. I might be drunk and confessing this.

[@Pure_Rock]

Lamo fair play....

[@thescoundrel1]

If they'd came out 5 years earlier, they'd be legendary! Good band, good guys.

[@kino-seezone4495]

Desmond Child could not handle so much projects in a row, so they managed to wait:)

[@skitszosk8]

Reading Butch Walker's book called Drinking With Strangers...I had to look this up!! Awesome!

[@Dennizzz119]

This is so underrated that its not even on Spotify..

[@davidsloan9556]

No doubt, if any band should be on Spotify it's definitely South gang

[@JEFFERYPAUL1]

Spotify doesn't pay crap so what's the use

[@THADTHACKER]

Then don't listen to Spotify 😂

[@kevinmelicant9566]

Saw them in cleveland at flash Gordon's. I was 12. Awsomeness. I'm 42 now

[@flowride68]

Like the longer album version. Saw the guitarist in a band called Floyd's Funk Revival. He was not happy when I kept yelling, "Play Tainted Angel!"

[@chrisdymmel2934]

when Butch and Jayce were in the Marvelous 3, I saw them open for Collective Soul. Butch flipped me the bird after about the 10th time of me yelling "Southgang rules!" it was great!

[@trixielolo77]

This whole album was so good! I played every song until the tape was worn out! Loved it's southern rock sound.

[@6672rock]

Butch Walker sure has come a long way from his days in this band. I would've never guessed what a good songwriter he was until he broke away from Southgang and formed The Marvelous 3 and his solo records after that.

[@kevincampbell5785]

Been fun watching Butch evolve, he's def. talented.

[@williamjablonski2209]

Brad is a great hook writer. NO DOUBT

[@jamesmicco3650]

Everyone starts somewhere.... you just don't become a great songwriter. C'mon man!

[@TonysMusic1974]

"He" didn't break away. Three of these guys ARE Marvelous 3

[@starwarstogorian]

I heard this song for the first time during a rock night in pub in Muswell Hill, London. I was blown away by it so tracking the album down became my mission. The album is so so good. Love this band.

[@sharonacausby8932]

I Freakin" Love Jesse Hart & Southgang. Another Great Underrated Band Of The 80s & Early 90s. I Do Love My Southern Boys. & Yes I'm Representing - Cause I Live In The South Too. Peace

[@boarderb]

I think I will probably love this song 'til the day I die. Always brings back memories of the day and makes me smile.

[@Southpaw305]

Wish they would make an appearance. Love all their music. Vocals are superior to anything going today as well as the guitars, Hell the whole band is better than anything going right now. Drove down many a highway listening to Southgang. Funny how i ended up living in Georgia.

[@RCEvans87]

Rockin' tune!!! "Georgia Lights" is my favorite track from the album:) This will always be awesome music!

[@kickassrockguitar]

And I'm paying tribute and trying to keep it alive with my guitar covers. ;)

[@matthobson7771]

Kick-Ass Rock Guitar Hell Yeah buddy.. I'm a drummer and would kill for someone to play these times with..

[@vanillarain711]

Georgia Lights is such a great song!

[@MrJohn1969]

I remember meeting them when I headed security in SC and they were "Floyds Funk Revival". We had to actually reinforce the stage to accomodate their show. The remaded themselves into just "The Floyds". When their singer became pregnant they became most successfully as Marvelous 3. I felt at that point they the best trio next to Rush but somehow underrated. Even inviting me backstage to see theme after they "became big". Haven't seen Butch and the boys in years. I miss you guys.

[@boohenry5150]

This throws me right back into my teen years!! We had the best of music, best of fun, best of everything. Love getting a glimpse of the past.

[@Kim.webbford]

Loved Southgang when they came out. Loved Marvelous 3. Love how Butch Walker had evolved and the music he puts out now.

[@Wildcatfever]

I got cd from a rock station back when it was released and still have it today

[@Roc20084u]

Hey I'm from Cartersville GA and I went to school with Butch's AKA Brad's sister Dana (Cass High).. hehe time flies... I learned from Chris Fowler as well.. but now I live in Macon GA..and soon I hope to come back to Cartersville r Rome to jam in a bar if they have any.. love the sound of this song and I let all my buds local listen and brag... keep on rocking guys ya'll need to get back together....

[@kickassrockguitar]

Thanks for a fantastic blast from the golden era of metal. Thanks also for introducing me to a "new" band (despite being 20+ years old!). Great track and I love they tried something new in the video with the backing singers but holy hell does he sound just like Vince Neil. If I heard this on the radio I'd swear it was the Crue.

[@caveman385]

Sounds more like Jani Lane RIP, from Warrant.

[@MrRenehad]

Good times of Hard rock, back to 1989

[@thrasher1889]

I agree. 1989 was an amazing if not one of the best years in hard rock and heavy metal music, tons and tons of great albums were released that year. This album was released in 1991 however. :)

[@tortured74]

Thank you for the memories. I remember sitting in my bed and listening to this tape, crying because Southgang was playing in my city and I couldn't see them. Wow.

[@maxthompson6466]

One of the most underrated bands, great sound

[@briang6040]

A great band! My buddies sister went to school and partied with the singer Jesse Hart.

[@winston67]

Butch is a FREAKIN musical GENIUS!

[@the4u2channel]

SOUTHGANG,LOUDNESS,DOKKEN,STRYPER...the list can just go on & on! All the old 80's rock music. This is the main reason way i like to DJ,when i get the chance that is! I also collect CD's (200+) 1980's rock alone...M.I.P.!!! LONG HAIR,WILD PARTIES,GREAT FRIENDS,GREAT MEMORIES...& REAL ROCK MUSIC TO KICK BACK TO AND ENJOY!

[@dianameeks4368]

This one album was just a taste of what they could have brought to the table

[@SirZeusor11]

Butch Walker...all I got to say

[@AskMetalMax]

Damn, this song is awesome. I hope it gets put on I-tunes one of these days along with the rest of their catalogue.

[@toowild8634]

Bands like this were a dime a dozen all over LA in the 80's

[@Sean021122]

And your opinion is a zilch a zero. Why post. You obviously love this fucking video like it's your birthday. You're just to fucking macho, read as insecure, to admit you like it. But alas, you already admitted it without even saying it. I have hear dmany better band yes, but there are a few cool songs on this record. Mostly the haunting ballads. Hey man you want something fucking heavy that all these morons never caught onto.. get yourself a copy of Subhuman Race by Skid Row. That record is amazing! Skid row BEFORE johnny sukcinger is amazing! They were heavy as fuck. Great sound, great lyrics, badasses. Well except for Rachel bolan the friend betrayer/band destroyer. I hate that kid's guts...

I love this song thank you head bangers ball when it was awesome

[@THADTHACKER]

Butch (Brad) came home to play for us in Cartersville, Ga at the Grand Theater, which he did not have to do. He's always been an awesome dude from the time I met him in high school. Give him props 🙌

[@dvddjd]

A great band, and their 2nd album is an all time fave. Love what Butch has done after these!

[@RedHusker5150]

I have this album on CD. Ain’t that a shame that Southgang is not on Apple Music. However one of the members of the band is though. I really hope Southgang gets put on there, would love to see that.

[@brenoldt]

Listen also to: Steelheart - sticky side up and Helix - wild in the streets

[@dougleitz1134]

steelheart was awesome! played the shit out of their albums. unlike most bands, their sophmore effort was a better album

[@enzobinelli9397]

excelente video musical del hard rock de los 80

[@TheMahagoni]

I just heard it for the first time, and I know it's gonna be my favorite song now It's insane, This song, everything in it and every single bit of it is mindblowingly impressive, fits so right IT OUGHT TO GET WAY MORE VIEWS

[@michaelcrusader9612]

Very nice see and hear too your metal-melodic band! Dear metal brothers! In band Southgang! Class melodic composer + play,and sing!!! Class!! Thank-you very much for the music!! Good luck in life in music,in studios on concerts!!

[@Legacy76]

1991...good memories!

[@bjlater]

you never hear rock like this anymore its all gloomy now what ever happen to rock being fun. I want the 80's and 90's back!!!

[@AlaskaXRrider]

Southgang's lack of true success in the music business was always a disappointment to me. I really talked these guys up back then. I turned a lot of people on to their music, and love it as much now as I did then. Rock On!

[@scottrussell2272]

I just found this on vinyl. Unofficial pressing but still excited to hear it

Wow I already love this song and I have only just heard it for first time 😮

Such a freaking killer song. Prime time hard rock glam right there. Cannot believe I didn't know this song back them. Oh well. Love this one 🤘

[@jamestsquid]

OMG! LMAO... this is classic!! Now I know why I love Butch Walker! Thank you for putting this up!!

[@pcmechanic40]

They were pretty good! Got here after reading Butch Walker's (lead guitarist) book-"Drinking With Strangers"Also check out Marvelous 3.He is a great musician and producer still! Hell,Butch-this isn't bad at all-it was what it was and it sounded great!

[@austins9510]

PCMechanic he has his own book? Is it a bio?

[@honey1710]

I just read it...I knew some of the ppl he mentioned in the first couple chapters...I wasn’t impressed by the “story telling”.

[@mdayne1142]

Great band I have seen them every chance I got in Ohio.

[@metalheadneji]

I love 80's hard rock.

[@ski2exs]

Wild! I grew up with some of these guys back in high school in another lifetime. A few of the guys were in a band called 'Oasis' and if memory serves correctly 'bite the bullet'. They would practiced in a old storefront along Shorter Ave. in Rome, Ga then. Damn time sure flies. Didn't know that 'Butch' (hehe) had moved on to many other accomplishments. Good job Butch! If you guys actually see this you might know who the hell I am. LOL Take care guys!

[@frankraho62]

I knew em when they were called Bite The Bullet. They were playing Gazzaries in Hollywood. The singer was super good back then.

[@sdlance62]

Haven't heard this in years. Love it!

[@michaelcrusader9612]

Best - great song!!! Very nice -very talants -metal-rock n roll brothers!!! WoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOw!!!! And sing and play and video-clip too!!! Yeaahh Rock n roll!!! Good luck in prof-musicaln art!!! Thank-you for the music!!

SOUTHGANG INCOMING!!! ❤

[@crucem_sanctam5579]

Discovering this on 2022 and gave me immediately Poison vibes. Great band!

[@aiawods]

too bad these guys were discovered too late. they were one of the best hairbands to ever hit the radio , just as big hair and high pitches were replaced by flannel and greasy hair

[@lannaramirez174]

I got a tattoo that said Tainted Angel after this song.I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!!

[@stevenw6263]

We have the record companies to blame for the grunge era! The 80’s music was about partying and having fun, grunge was doom and gloom!!

[@MommaSunshine]

I met these guys at Hammerjacks in the early '90's They were very nice guys and I have some great images of them. Love this song!:)

[@sasami]

OMFG, Jesse Harte....he was my crush when I was a teenager. Wow, this brings back memories

[@alanludlow7995]

one of the best 80's kick ass rock bands to come out of L.A

[@1Katdoll]

Thes guys were all so very sweet. I do have fond memories of Tin Masa and thr Rainbow!! YOu guys loved the rounds of shots.. LOL My 17 yr old son loves the music!! He plays the drums and wants to bring back this style.. ALWAYS LOVED YOU GUYS.. KATIA

[@Monica1C3]

They were one of the only American rock bands to tour China. I remember about that.

[@Devr0ss]

its like Warrant and Poison had a band-child but Vince Neil slipped it in while Warrant wasn't looking so hard to tell who the father was.

[@traceyfitzpatrick2163]

HELLO FROM SHERIDAN , WYOMING LOVE SOUTHGANG !!!!, IM A TAINTED ANGEL LOL 😈💔💋

[@MJ_INK]

they were such an awesome band, both albums were great! I miss them :(

seeing this just made my night. I cant believe im watching this right now!! Thanks!!

[@TheJobChronicles]

I just bought an amplifier that has Butch Walker, Joyce Fincher, Mitch Mclee and Jessie Harte's autographs on the case cover. I feel honored. I had no idea. Can someone tell though who Jessie Harte is? I didn't see him mention on wikipedia.

[@fabriciojacome3197]

Great song . Love it !!!

[@Dijana1964]

I'm with you!!! 80's music rocks!!!

[@Lynchfan88]

Damn, I remember this from '91 on Headbanger's Ball, catchy little song.

[@Deadfacekingsman]

These guys are from my home town. My parents went to school with Butch and we have pictures with them in our house.

[@moondoggieist]

Classic ! wow Butch Walker had some hair back in those days (he was the dark headed guitarist) ! Just seen him on "Daryl's House" on Palladia ! He is really talented and was very humbled in the presence of the great Hall ! He looks good for 45 years old .

[@dougleitz1134]

got a link to that. i dont have cable... im interested!

I'm reading the Butch Walker's book right now. I'm watching videos to enjoy more. Very funny.

[@cindeemay3091]

💖 Great song!

Great song this is what music should still be like..as well as some bands not afraid to admit this is good stuff.

[@robbman21]

This video won the Headbanger's Ball "Ballbuster" for either 10 or 15 consecutive weeks back in the summer of 1991...so many times that it had to be retired so two new videos could be given a shot. This was at a time just barely pre-Nirvana when Headbanger's Ball was leaning towards Alice In Chains, Queensryche, and more industrial/heavy metal bands and away from the melodic stuff. Sorry if the Ballbuster thing was mentioned before. I thought Marvelous 3 were amazing, too.

[@edwardkay288]

THANK YOU!! I could NOT remember the name of that popularity contest between videos, but you are correct!! This video beat Tyketto "Forever Young" and then went undefeated for months. I bought this album because of those Ball Buster contests. I also bought a few albums of the songs that challenged this video and lost.

[@brettbarnes6351]

This song gave me a wet dream on a drive to SLC when I was a junior in high school. Man…the good ol’ days. What the f$?k happened?

[@metalkev00]

Cool! This was back when people wrote great songs with timeless lyrics that really spoke to your soul. The chick singer is pretty hot too!

[@DBerry80]

[@beth3172]

He sounds like Jani Lane. This guy was also the singer for the marvelous 3, i think they were called. another good band.
