Tuff - I Hate Kissing You Goodbye

[@odefonz]

I'm 70yr old and still Rockin'. I grew up in the 50's,60's,70's,&80's, after those decades the music really did a head dive, Hair Bands Rock!! Oh and RAMMSTEIN Really Rocks!!

[@jasonpeters3558]

Yeah sure....This crap is so bad I thought it was a comedy sketch

[@jasonpeters3558]

You clearly jealous of early-mid 1990s. It's ok, I would prob be too if I was brought up on the crap u were

They were great! They were my neighbors during the Tuff Muff Mansion days and let me tell you, they were so fun and they worked their asses off trying to make it. Especially Stevie and Michael, they were tireless. Jorge was one of my besties for sure and I miss you if you are reading this!

[@jasonpeters3558]

Yeah, "Smells like teen spirit"/Nirvana came out few weeks after this crap. Nirvana put an end to crap Rock. Poodle hair metal crap.

[@bkushner2]

Great guys, I managed the band during this period. Video was shot overnight at the Burbank CA power plant. We had very little video budget money so we had to improvise. They took purple water based paint and just painted a section purple, set up the stage and went to work. Fun shoot.

[@guitarguru.3572]

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of these guys. This was my favorite genre of all time.

[@hommie789]

They flew under the radar and only had a few small hits. They departed from this style a couple years later but was still good. Check out Religious Fix or Daddy's money, same band a little different style.

[@jantzenallen3077]

Same here

[@creeg84]

They were at the tail end of the hair metal days. There were so many metal bands popping out at that period some went unnoticed.

[@CuriosityCircuit2024]

I listened to this band almost daily in 92 (and ugly kid joe). now found them again 30 years later.

[@nickhill8612]

His roots are from Oshkosh, WI.

[@greenrichardg]

Tuff STILL kicks ass like countless metal/rock 80's bands! You can't say that about any decade since. I've been taking my youngest, in the past 3 years, to Kiss, Def Leppard, Styx, REO, Bryan Adams, Foreigner, Slash, and more. He was blown away by the stage shows, live vocals, etc. They all rocked and in their 50's/60's now, they can kick any of today's "talents'" ass all over the stage!

[@miawilliams9865]

exactly right!! my 9yo niece LOVES def lep, journey, and Sebastian Bach!!

[@joelittle2860]

Tuff is from the 90s my friend

[@greenrichardg]

Joe Little Sorry bro, but Tuff was formed in 1985, by guitarist Jorge DeSaint, drummer Gary Huckaby, and bassist Todd Chase. After drummer Gary Huckaby left the group in 1985 to work with another local project, the band enlisted drummer Michael Lean and vocalist Terry Fox, who left the band shortly afterward.With replacement vocalist Jim Gillette, the band recorded a four-track EP entitled Knock Yourself Out (1986). However, Gillette left and was replaced by Stevie Rachelle.

[@joelittle2860]

Yeah but nobody heard of them til the 90s.....but you are correct

[@greenrichardg]

What's awesome is they started in the 80's and continued into the 90's gaining more fans. My comment should really state that 80's metal/rock was so awesome that many bands still have their original fan base and newer generations are jamming to them too! It's allowed several bands of that era to continue touring, reuniting, and creating new material.

[@ashleyscott1117]

he has one of the most gorgeous faces! especially his eyes and lips

[@ashleyscott1117]

[@ashleyscott1117]

I know quite a bit about poison and think Bret Michaels is gorgeous as well

[@karlaf.r.1657]

Right? He is a doll. I think this guy's facial features are much softer and beautiful. Bret is more of a sexy, beauty. Each have their own particular beauty.

[@shekharsharma1490]

Yeah, reminds of Brett Micheals...

[@lonnyjaw]

I was in a band called 'Ripp Off' and we opened for Tuff at the 'Mason Jar' nightclub in Phoenix in December of 1988. They were a bunch of great guys and they ROCKED!! Todd the bass player reminds me of our old bass player Chris Connally, looks a lot like Todd too with all that hair he had back then also. I still have one of our flyers from that gig!

[@nathanmerchant9041]

Have not heard this song in a lifetime. One click and it all comes back. Laughter, good times, faded dreams forgotten love.

[@BabyKitten199]

I got to see them live at a club in San Jose back in the day & they were AWESOME!!! I fell in love with them when I heard this song!!! Such an underrated love song!!! We got to meet them backstage & take pictures with them - they're even prettier in person!!! This music is soooooooooo much better than the crap on the radio today - bring back real music like this!!!

[@vl1006]

One Step Beyond was the club, am I right?

[@rebeccaculley9766]

Hearing this brings back some great memories!

[@shawneldridge4465]

🙋 I remember when tuff I hate you goodbye first came on mtv back in the day. At first I thought they were a band called guardian but it wasn't, it was tuff. After I watch this music video on mtv. I got my skateboard and rode it up to the mall and then I went into the wall at the time when it was called that and bought tuff what comes around goes around on cassette tape. I tried to get it on CD but they were sold out of it at the time. Still tuff was a great band when they were around, it's a shame that they didn't stick around that long like they should have. They were a great band and their music was great too.

[@donnydog1]

My band opened up for these guys back in the day in Salisbury, MA at The Escape Club, early 90's. This song was huge on WAAF at the time.... man what a great show and they were cool guys too!

[@stargazer2504]

When Hinder came out with Lips Of An Angel, I always thought it had the same sound as this, although a 2000's sound.

[@devemiller5929]

This band rocked. The singer was good. The drummer rocked hard. The bassist was tight and jammed, and the guitarist was a melodic shredder!

[@traceyfitzpatrick5622]

One band that I wish I'd seen back then what a beautiful song

[@tlarson83]

The lead singer has a story/memoir of this band on the Metal Sludge website. Interesting read, they were big in Hollywood, Arizona, and Wisconsin. Then when they finally got their big break, their tour with Britny Fox fell apart..and then grunge happened. So close..., but apparently this song did well on MTV

[@CurbsideLife]

I remember this being number 1 on dial mtv or some call in request show for a few weeks. Great ballad and cool guitar solo.

[@jasonpeters3558]

Lol, till Nirvana hit

summer of 1994 i bought a box of old metal edge magazines at a garage sale. one had a full page advertisement for what comes around goes around. couldn't find a copy to save my life...anywhere. my buddy went with his dad on a trip out to California and came back with a used copy of the cd. finally got to hear it and had no idea they had ever had a video on mtv. didn't see that until youtube came a long. i thought this album was good, but it didn't age well. it was definitely of the time, and maybe a year too late. stevie writes songs the way he writes, and still does to this day...but the album just sounds very dated. i know he did a re-recorded version that i will have to check out.

Tuff may have a Bret Michaels clone for a singer but man does this song have such a rocking guitar solo! Possibly best screeching guitar of the 80s.

[@kimpeek7586]

Stevie has a better voice than Bret

[@RockStarFrame]

There’s a difference. Stevie is able to sing, 😁

[@tod3msn]

The problem is that they are too similar to other hair bands. It’s a tough business and I respect that they got a contract and a record and a single and a video all of which is totally cool. I admire people in the arts because we need them to put color into our worlds. It’s just that this so close to other acts that it does not distinguish itself. Still, you had success and got recorded and that is what counts.

[@CurvyRockerChick]

Omg this takes me back!

Tuff has actually been around since 84/85(in Phoenix), they moved to Hollywood in 1987, and Stevie joined the band then.

[@Sean021122]

I have such a soft spot for the 80's ballads because they show and bring out the feminine side of these supposed hard guys who make womanizing an art form. They truly inside do feel mor for and about females than just the physical. And that is where the inspiration comes for alot of this romantic stuff. Yes some of it is contrived to make money at the time, but alot is also sincere and that is admirable. Guys need to start representing our gender better and showing females how special they are.
