Wildside -Hang On Lucy

[@RUREDY2ROK]

One of the most underrated bands of all time......these guys were amazing.

[@onebyside]

100%

[@CrimsonThorns]

Sadly, during this time there was of bands in the genre...this Wildside debut went unnoticed ans lost under the radar....it is a hidden gen gem if you can find a copy. I still give it plenty- o-play 😎

[@lester5192]

one of the last classic hair band songs in the early 90's just before all these type bands stopped writing hits all together.

[@RickBlacker]

Awesome tune. I wish Hollywood would start promoting this style of music again.

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

That´s how the 90´s Rock should´ve sounded , it started with the right foot but then music went downhill ... this band is criminally underrated

[@D.Alcázar]

yijaaaaaaa

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

***** Yep , the late 80´s had some great bands that should´ve made it big , Tora Tora , Sea Hags are another example :(

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

***** I love all these bands you mentioned , they all wrote some great quality music , at least they´ll live on with the fans :)

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

***** I´m always looking cd´s abd vinyls from these bands as well , everyday i discover a new one and their musicianship always amazes me . Quality always stoods the test of time :)

[@FreakWorldOfficial]

Phoenix Van Wyden Early 90's KINGOFTHEHILL that CD was so underrated.

[@ИванИванов-з8ь2е]

Great band , in 92 it was to late for this type of music. If they realised this album 2 years before they can be bigger. Great catchy melodies super vocals - like them so much. Hi from Russia everybody. Heavy metall and Rock rules!

[@nigelbartlett1692]

I miss all these bands from the early 90’s. I wish I was living in L.A. at this time. It would be at least three concerts EVERY WEEK!!

[@SoyChapin]

For years I couldn't remember name of song or band, just the awesome intro & visual style, down to the white bass guitar! I'm from Guatemala in Central America so it was impossible to find non-platinum albums. Today, my mom flew in from Guate & brought me a notebook where I had written down a list of all videoclips I recorded into VHS from MTV's HB. As I read down hundreds of pages (each VHS stored six hours of mv's & I recorded them all!!!) I finally saw Wildside, HOL & I knew, this was it!!

[@randyanderson4015]

This band is still one of my all time favorites! Under the Influence was a perfect Rock Album! Damn that Grunge Scene for killing Rock'N'Roll in the early 90's!

[@infierno4425]

im sure if they would of started in the early 80s, they would be considered one of rock n roll's greatest bands of all time, i know they are to me

[@rikkisogazgf]

Alwayz luved Wildside!! They rox!!! Cn play couple of timez n Houston TX bac n the late '80'z/early '90'z!! :oD

[@TheGrimSweaper]

Got this gem when it was first out. Wildside were 2 years two late on the scene. I hear a terrific mix of Motley, Skid, Roses and Ratt. They had more than just this song, the rest are great as well, this song is far from their best. "How many lies" and "so far away" are even more awesome. Lets not forget about the awesome debut by Sven Gali when we are name dropping bands. For me this world still exist. I have a big record/cd collection of just "street metal" as i call it. Rock on!

[@billyschmidt911]

Loved these guys. Seen em twice in 91, then they just faded away. Whole album was great, I knew every song by heart

[@andyeve8]

Awesome timeless song. it was bands like this that fuel my passion for Rock still when the industry changed. still to this day I listen to bands like this. I was never a follower of just the big bands. I always needed my passion for Rock feed by the bands that just made Kick Ass music.

[@andyeve8]

Hence why I was on here to find this song and share it to my Facebook Rock 80's, 90's page.

[@thrasher1889]

This video ROCKS!! I bought this album a few months ago, have to say it kicks ass. Favourite songs are "Hang On Lucy", "So Far Away", "How Many Lies", "Hair Of The Dog", "Heart N' Soul" and "Clock Strikes"! An awesome hard rock album if ever I heard one!

[@Drewwild1]

thanks for the nice words - I still crank it too. You can get more Wildside on Itunes. It's called "The Essential Wildside" Check it out!

[@vennexx]

2024 and still listening. Collected all the cd's and have them on heavy rotation to this day. Tho, i like the album version of this song better, still a good song but not my favorite. I prefer the clock strikes and one more shot.

[@hairmetalflashback7005]

Can you Imagine how many Amazing songs were never brought to the masses because KZbin & Such did Not Exist back in this, the most Gluttonous Era of Hair Metal...Shameful to think how many were buried under the MTV/Much Music or even worse Radio Playlist Hierarchy...Enjoy this Awesome tune & as always ROCK ON!!! \m/ \m/

[@BJ-eh1un]

Yes we dream that the90 s 80 s return

[@metalbornmetalbred]

Drew, you guys were the soundtrack to my teenage years. Thanks for putting out such kick ass music! I will always be a lifelong fan.

[@Sean021122]

+metalbornmetalbred Even when their second record is such an embarrassing wanna-be grunge album they pretended it never happened?

[@elsietrinity8636]

Great band and awesome album

[@KenLeet]

"Criminally Underrated," You could not possibly describe this band any better, Phoenix. they should have been huge! Would love to see what they could do now!

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

I wish bands like this one , Tora Tora , XYZ among many others had stayed and shaped the sound of the 90´s , we´d have some great quality music until today ...

[@KenLeet]

I agree with you. There were several bands that hit the scene in '89-91 (Trixter, Wildside, The Storm) to name a few, that should have been given a better chance, instead of being shelved for dirtball bands wearing dirty clothes and looking like they hadn't seen a shower since the mid eighties!

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

Couldn´t agree more with you , the 90´s were heading a new direction for Hard Rock and Heavy Metal , too bad the record companies decided it was time for the 3 chord people to shine ... at least now there´s an underground movement for this type of music in Europe , let´s see what future holds :)

[@GVanaken]

BEST melodic rock album of the 90'S.. Period

[@csmpeoil]

I still have the promo cassette of this. Good band.

[@mowsercat2008]

heres an easy how to guide when on a date: get her to talk about herself as much as possible, when she wants to know 1 thing about you answer her then pose the same question to her, do this as much as you can get her to talk about herself/ family and friends as much as possible. by the end of the date she will feel that she knows you well even though u havent said much about urself. she will also feel that ur a good lisener (like someone with compassion and true intrest in her), next is bed time

[@RCEvans87]

Hell yeah!!! Bought this back in '92 ( never gave a shit about the gansta rap & grunge scene, and I still don't because I know what sounds good to my ears ). I think in a 3 month period I purchased this, and I also bought, Saints & Sinners, "Salute" by 21 Guns, "Double Eclipse" from Hardline, "Fire & Ice" by Yngwie, Tall Stories, "Keep the Faith" by Bon Jovi, "Time to Burn" by Giant, Von Groove, "Revenge" by KISS, Unruly Child, "Fear of the Dark" from Iron Maiden, "Hear" by Trixter, "Wild America" by Tora Tora, Heavy Bones, and Jackyl's debut.....plus quite a few others. Seen Wildside live in Colorado Springs ( met them after the show ), great guys. Long live true rock everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KenLeet]

Nice selection of purchases from '92. I have several of the same ones you mentioned. Too bad none of that music can be heard anywhere now, even on Sirius.

[@RCEvans87]

This is true! Thank God for KZbin, and my own personal music collection....lol!!!

[@KenLeet]

I rarely play CD's anymore, I KZbin almost all the time for music. I listen to Sirius in the car, but it gets redundant with mostly the same stuff over and over, like a local station but no commercials.

[@Sean021122]

+Racine Evans Bon Jovi was garbage by that point... And I only ever liked one kiss album. Asylum was its name...

[@Sean021122]

+Ken Leet The Hair Nation channel is pretty good.

[@jeffvelodota4810]

listen to this disc all the time, hate there wasn't more from them!

[@cougarkarns9754]

Damn I was 3 days old when this released 😮😂

[@Tcmaster74]

Just the best EVER.. Nuff said... This music and band change lives... Makes my days better and a reason for never forget

[@mowsercat2008]

omg i had to look for this... far more then i should have had too. i was live with them, they brought a hell of a show

[@TheROBLOXAssociation]

one of my all time fave bands! was fortunate enough to see them live at Maxx's bar n' grill in Ithaca NY, back in the day ...what an epic night

[@kcbyrd_37]

they did a show a few years back in salt lake city when they released thier cd wasted years. it was a two nite show. both nites rocked.

[@CARETAKER89able]

You can feel the streets of LA at the time,with this great song and Guitar playing, classic music like Ratt , Crue and LA Guns,shame that grunge killed it and the party could not have lasted longer!!

[@carriemeyer8038]

love all of wildside, takes me back, u out there Shawn holeman

[@surfsunsand]

If this band came out in 85/86 Guns and Roses would never had a chance.

[@ChadHelman]

80's rock n roll from Wildside!!!!...theres nothing quite like it..

[@ggsho93]

Always liked you guys, got "under the influence " when it 1st got released, your vocals are intense man...I got my 16 yr old daughter to start listening to you too. Peace......

[@suzjf2274]

AAH, Thanks Drew! Dunno why this video disappeared from here sometime ago. Now I can some more Wildside fix! But exactly, I've never seen the whole video like this before either-so a real treat! ;)

[@megandesenti7638]

Best band ever!!! I've loved them since their first metal edge appearance. Got instantly hooked!

[@MormonMustang_]

motleydrue; i saw you mentioned tora tora. man that was one of the best concerts i have ever seen. they played a bar in myrtle beach in 1991/1992. a band called belle gunness opened for them. both bands rocked like i have rarely seen. tora tora's hit at the time was "wild America ".

[@thestrawhead]

This was the direction rock rock was heading until Nirvana. I don't hate Nirvana, but I love this!

[@Hairmetalfan1990]

awsome video man and thanks for posting it just in time iv been dying to here this song all day LOL

[@mikk1223]

this band was 1 of my favorites back in the day shit rocks!

[@anmlze]

Good lord I miss this kind of rock.

[@ThrashIdolatry]

The shame is these guys got praised for being the next big thing by Capitol in 1991, got a contract with big money for five albums and released their first album in 1992 when grunge was just around the edge, it sold bad and they got kicked from Capitol. Just overlooked and definitely one of the most talented bands of the latter days!

[@александрандреев-д6ь4й]

да, ребята тех времен, делали вещи

[@jamieburkey]

still have it too. what a debut

[@thiefgold0913]

They Look and sound like Wildside. I seen these guy play alot back in my bar days 91-92 and these guys rocked the house.

[@aaronmnsky]

Lovin ' it - heard this song back in the day and never knew who the artist was, thanks for uploading this! Sooo glad I found this!!!!!

[@jamieburkey]

i still have that album on vinyl....

[@bl4ckLlama]

Such a badass AOR release. the early 90's really had some kick ass stuff that was criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

[@andyrockevo]

WOW This one Rocks...Cheers from Greece

[@evasimmons6704]

was at the concert at the Vic theatre in chicago, Amazing!

[@yohoynoquiero]

Awesome work,,, Superb. Thank you .

[@coldbrew69]

One of the best songs ever!!!!!!

[@greekshark]

LOOOOOOVE IT!!!! "Under The Influence" is a great album!!!

[@SpandexRoxx]

omg awesome tune sweet solo !!.

[@rakistangpinoy4745]

solid song. wicked guitar solo...

[@briansiow9388]

Love this jam!!! \m/ ; ). Also found other bad ass bands that I havent heard since they did away with Z-Rock radio station.... Like Spread Eagle, Vain,Dirty Looks,King Kobra.... Leather Wolf ect.....

[@onebyside]

Brent Woods your licks will live forever....so awesome

[@strangeslavesmasters9509]

ahhhhh no sabia de esta banda 25/08/2019... buscare su discos... gracias x el video...

[@johncapone7184]

This song Freakin SMOKES!!

[@maaadcaaat]

'still love this song!

[@nodoor]

SWEEEEET!. Saw you cats in Cincinnati at the Hurricane Surf Club. Tore it up! Killer tune here. Your cover of Balls to the Wall by Accept just ripped!

[@carlosibarra4041]

Great song!

[@shakermaker74]

Great news Benny!! Can't wait for the new disc!

[@motoracer107]

that is an awesome song. I remember seeing these guys at Rafters in Salt Lake City. I wore that cd out..if that's possible.

[@Dehmitz]

Great song and album. I've been thinking about hard rock bands (like WildSide and T-Ride) that released albums around '91 or '92 that fell under the radar, because of timing, label issues, etc., and should get another chance to shine. Or maybe WildSide was done in by the cost of the fans required to blow all the guys' hair in this video. (I kid, I kid!) But I associate this music with some actual good times in my adolescence. Thanks for sharing!

[@sandifreeman495]

love it!

[@beer4all]

Best fuckin' hair metal band of all times. Outstanding,awesome...no words... You guys ruled once.. Let's rule the fuckin' world again. Fantastic....Best album of early 90's, no doubt about it.

[@siskokidd]

Cool tune. Hot sound.

[@Hallow334]

Forgot all about this band. I remember hearing this song on Z-Rock back in the day.

[@skatemaiden]

AWESOME MAN

[@johngreene5630]

Badass guitar!

[@keith-kessinger]

I did a guitar lesson of this great song because it deserves it!

[@metalgod1]

these guys were VERY underrated, Under the Influence is a solid album! Saw these guys at Harpos in Detroit, 1992 with Babylon AD and Roxy Blue, 50 cent pitchers of beer, wet tshirt contest...fucking insane! Then the Ritz in 1993 then Irock, by then Green Day and garbage like that was ALL over....

[@dperry94]

cool music video.

[@RichardEBurchSr.]

Awesome band

[@SinceTwelve]

Great words mate!!! Our band plays real sleaze hard rock in Finland with screaming attitude, cause here is too much plastic rock'n roll.

[@fredsannicolas2406]

these dudes know i have good taste in rock/metal

[@EGIG03]

lol....i wore out my eardrums!!!!kool that you got to see them!!!

[@scootterpootter]

Wow, I really like this, and have never heard of this band!! Gonna go checkout more by them. The singer sounds a lot like another singer, but I can't think of who it is right off hand...

[@scootterpootter]

Just remembered who the singer sounds like to me, Dale Thompson of the christian hard rock band Bride. Great singers, both of them. They both have that raspy, growly type of voice.

[@shamehairmetal]

Fuckin great this CD shoulda sold like 3 million copies it is a gem.

[@sharkmanjames2495]

Phenomenal band and 92 before the grunge nightmare.

[@jamienorth4328]

Are you kidding me Wildside on one album had more rock'in songs than Skid Row put out in a life time!!

[@evasimmons6704]

the 90s were amazing

[@AmineAb]

Amazing

[@danswon]

Massively underrated band, like Love/Hate. Love the singer's voice. Great musicianship. For me this is easily up there with Out of the Cellar, Dr. Feelgood, Appetite for Destruction. I probably put this on even more than all of those these days. Especially Lad in Sin and How Many Lies. I wish they'd left Monkey See Monkey Do on the re-release though.

[@turksanchez]

...if Mark Slaughter jammed with George Lynch in a Skid Row cover band. Blast from the past. I bought the CD at tower in hollywood back in 1992. Used to love the vocals and guitar.

[@theclassicmetalchannel466]

lol, look at the early pictures of Wildside, they were almost as glam as they came back in the day. When the music scene changed around 91-92, the band sorta stripped down their image and even their sound a little. Regardless, they were an amazing band, still listen to them to this day. This video was actually posted here by Drew himself, I'm not sure he logs in much anymore tho...

[@metalheadneji]

These guys are pretty good.

[@Robbierock91]

my god this is real rock n' roll !! we have to save this Real Music This Real Rock n' roll! Glam / Sleaze RULEZ!

[@darwleg]

This kind of hard rocks songs have such fucking amazing guitar solo !

[@Tcmaster74]

And Drew... U f.... ROCK !!!! Wanna sign your cd for me ., :) worth waiting 20 years for..hehe

[@genetictemper]

AWESOIME!!!!!!!

[@enzobinelli9397]

Muy buen tema del rock n roll

[@tonfan]

hey this is great....sorry to say i missed this band back in the day....where was this band from;what state?....I think there is a groundswell of renewed interest in metal/melodic rock here in the USA...finally...witness Mr.Big just reformed and is set to tour Japan and possibly the world....anyway, damn great tune here....thanks....

[@SuzyWill909]

Love this whole CD! BF turned me onto it back in '99 on a drive to Vegas! Doesn't one of them own a shop out here in the I.E.?

[@mallickrel]

I love this band, it's a shame it didn't go further, lots of talent here and a kickass sound. I'm a latecomer though, as I'm only 20 and found out about them because my mom went to high school with Benny. Regardless, this music rocks.

[@salemsdad76]

@CocoBean71 Their second album was not Shit...if you knew the guys and saw some of their newer stuff live you would know....I saw these guys more times than I can count and actually hung out with them....they are great guys and very talented. It is a shame they got lost in the shuffle of bands at the time. Drew you rock!!!!!

[@CurbsideLife]

GREAT CD FIND IT BUY IT

[@Monica1C3]

Rock on, Drew!
