Wildside -Hang On Lucy

"Hang On Lucy" from the 1992 release of Wildside's "Under The Influence" The video was filmed on location in Hollywood over several nights. We blocked off Hollywood Blvd. for a few hours to film the chase scenes.

[@RUREDY2ROK]

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

[@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

[@el_sendro_hacia_la_luz]

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.

[@user-kv2si1uo1f]

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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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!!

[@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

[@billyschmidt911]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@jacobpearson3916]

Hang on Lucy is a great song

[@elsietrinity8636]

Great band and awesome album

[@rikkisogazgf]

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

[@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

[@thestrawhead]

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

[@GVanaken]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@csmpeoil]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@Tcmaster74]

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

[@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

[@anmlze]

Good lord I miss this kind of rock.

[@ChadHelman]

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

[@jeffvelodota4810]

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

[@bl4ckLlama]

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

[@maaadcaaat]

'still love this song!

[@jamieburkey]

i still have that album on vinyl....

[@megandesenti7638]

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

[@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

[@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.....

[@mikk1223]

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

[@shamehairmetal]

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

[@carriemeyer8038]

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

[@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.

[@rakistangpinoy4745]

solid song. wicked guitar solo...

[@carlosibarra4041]

Great song!

[@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 ".

[@johncapone7184]

This song Freakin SMOKES!!

[@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.

[@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......

[@coldbrew69]

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

[@greekshark]

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

[@evasimmons6704]

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

[@fredsannicolas2406]

these dudes know i have good taste in rock/metal

[@Hallow334]

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

[@Robbierock91]

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

[@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!!!!!

[@annmelvin2862]

Love it still

[@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.

[@SpandexRoxx]

omg awesome tune sweet solo !!.

[@siskokidd]

Cool tune. Hot sound.

[@jamieburkey]

still have it too. what a debut

[@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! ;)

[@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....

[@Hairmetalfan1990]

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

[@skatemaiden]

AWESOME MAN

[@andyrockevo]

WOW This one Rocks...Cheers from Greece

[@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.

[@RichardEBurchSr.]

Awesome band

[@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...

[@strangeslavesmasters9509]

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

[@yohoynoquiero]

Awesome work,,, Superb. Thank you .

[@AmineAb]

Amazing

[@sharkmanjames2495]

Phenomenal band and 92 before the grunge nightmare.

[@genetictemper]

AWESOIME!!!!!!!

[@darwleg]

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

[@deanholliday3370]

we opened for this band twice. the royal grove in lincoln nebraska and JCs south Kansas city. music was great...but the singer live , looked like he was struggling veins popping in his neck, all muscles tensed, strangling the microphone. huge dramatic breaths before these "axel" passages. saw no future in his voice live.

[@dperry94]

cool music video.

[@evasimmons6704]

the 90s were amazing

[@jenniferlacex]

I can't believe I made so many mistakes in grammar and spelling in that post...I don't even drink...anymore...I must have been in a hurry lol! I stand by everything I said! This is better than any of the popular stuff right now but there is still some awesome rock being produced - it's just become the mean, fierce underdog of the musical world!

[@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!

[@jamienorth4328]

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

[@EGIG03]

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

[@nethbt]

One of the greatest underrated Hair Metal album ever....They chould've been BIG...unfortunately they weren't coz they're a bit derivative of Firehouse and Slaughter

[@MetalMe55iah]

also didnt help that they were stuck in the hair metal moniker during the grunge explosion of the 90s

[@metalheadneji]

These guys are pretty good.

[@shakermaker74]

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

[@johngreene5630]

Badass guitar!

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

Rippin guitar riffs!

[@CurbsideLife]

GREAT CD FIND IT BUY IT

[@devemiller5929]

Wildside (fka "Young Gunns") kicked fucking ass on "Under The Influence" (as good as Leppard's "Pyromania" and ACDC's "Back In Black"). Saw them at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio (should've been the Buckeyes' 100K seat stadium). THEY ROCKED! High adrenaline, melodic, headbanging, fist-pumping, pussy-wetting rock 'n roll written and played by kick ass musicians !!! GOOD TIMES. Thanks for the memories, Drew Hannah, Benny Rhynedance, Brent Woods, Marc Simon, and Jimmy D !!!

[@jjnevarez93]

This song fuckin rocks and so does the album

[@enzobinelli9397]

Muy buen tema del rock n roll

[@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.

[@surfsunsand]

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

[@cgcAWESOME84DANK]

I heard the rest of their music. They're basically Skid Row with a tad of grunge sound/appearance.

[@Rigby_Illusion]

where the hell is music like this these days??

[@jayt717]

One of my favorite albums of all time...too bad they were overshadowed by grunge.

[@Monica1C3]

Rock on, Drew!

[@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.

[@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.
