TORA TORA - walkin' shoes

[@vickymaggard8055]

Great song n a great band. As good today June of 2024 as it was when it was released!! We had some kickass music...

[@mattguitarwilson]

I had almost forgotten just how awesome this song and this band are! Me and my friends used to crank this up 33 years ago, and it still holds up today!

[@anonymousbigshot1775]

In my I hello opinion, the blues never go out of style?

[@joeblough261]

This first Tora Tora album was so damn good, and my buddies and I also rocked it since 1990. Even did a couple songs live in our cover band. I remember going to the mall the day the 2nd album came out, and being disappointed/disinterested in it as we jammed it in the car on the way back.

[@JohnProph]

I remember all of a sudden seeing the 2nd album out in like 1992. It didnt quite have the vibe the first album had but at that time (grunge) I was happy just to have any decent rock coming out. The album still had some great songs on it @@joeblough261

The sounds a cassette tape can't be reproduced in the age

[@jimprice6685]

I'm in my drum room rocking the neighborhood. My band rocked this badass in 90's. 60 years old, still kicking Tora Tora, Cinderella & all badass songs. Livewire by Motley Crue came up on song list, gotta jam! Neighborhood's not gonna like this house. I've been rocking the best since 4 years old.

This song was so underrated!!! That’s some awesome guitar playing and singing!!

[@Hippo007]

I replied on this video 11 years ago of how badass of acover it was then, and i still come back and watch this from time to time and its still as good as the first time i watched it! Its frigging great is what it is! Helluva good job on this, Sir!

[@stringbender11672]

i remember my dad who was 40 back when this came out, coming in the living room sitting down, watching this video with me, and he said "Dayum that fuckin' ROCKED!!!" XD Hell I thought he was gonna say "turn that off and go do your homework, dammit." I'll never forget that. Walkin' Shoes what a great Memphis Blues/Metal song!!!

Not only did Memphis produce some of the great Stax Music, (check out Big Star as well) but they had a great second coming with guys like Human Radio, Son of Slam, Shawn Lane, Eric Gales and so on. It saddens me more don't know about it, but I have my memories of these awesome bands!

[@kriserwin1070]

I grew up in Memphis as a teenager when these guys would play at the stage stop in north Memphis and let me tell ya these guys and another band LORD TRACY would turn that bar upside down. Great memories

[@seansnook899]

October 28, 1989...L.A. Guns, Dangerous Toys, Tora Tora at Hara Arena, Dayton, OH. Such an amazing show!! All three bands just tore it up that night!! :D This song takes me right back to that night.

I saw them sometime in the early 90s.. it was an excellent show but as most young adults do, I got Tora Tora up... Damn margaritas.. :p

[@raleighheflin8116]

My parents were huge fans of TT and went to a lot of their show starting when they were a local band. We saw Anthony (the singer) at the mid south fair in about ‘93 or ‘94 and he put me on his shoulders and walked me through the house of mirrors. Solid dude and underrated band. They deserved better

[@michaelramirez3261]

i was in college in the 80s and i threw keg parties and played all these great bands as loud as the speakers could play! great times. great music. great memories

[@JohnProph]

So many young people are like "I never heard of this or that great band".....do yourselves a favor, look up EVERY hard rock band that came out in the 87-89ish era. A lot of them only got 1 album due to the record companies jumping on grunge as the next big thing. (whatever) check for instance Salty Dog, The Scream

[@pedrojamiz1]

JohnProph Nice call on Salty Dog and The Scream. You must really know your 80's music. I got one for you... The Front, only one video on youtube - Le Motion

[@JohnProph]

I remember them and vaguely remember the album cover but I dont think I ever actually heard them lol

[@bobbyberetta4206]

Oh man the Scream! I loved them, 1990 & 91 where weird time in metal, you could tell things where changing but not sure to what. Because at that time funk metal was getting radio play with bands like Mindfunk. I recall at the time I was listening to Love/Hate, Mordred & Soundgarden.

[@hellovanite]

Faster pussycat were another good band. One band that kinda fused Grunge and glam was Gun.

[@kitoyobeni1]

Shotgun Messiah, Love On Ice, Saigon Kick, Bulletboys, so many more...

[@marto880]

Damn these guys kick ass. Never heard them till just now. I did a search and see they came out in the 80's and formed in Memphis, TN. Some serious R&R.
