Not some obscure hardcore band, not a missing link in the lineage of punk history, but those Sunset Strip via Pennsylvania transplants that cashed in on glam metal in the most extreme way imaginable. This live set is not a show and not a gig, it's a Rock Concert - complete with guitar solos and inane banter from the stage. I am not ashamed to admit that I still own the copy of Look What The Cat Dragged In I bought from TG&Y when it came out (the pages of Circus told me it was an essential new release), and I am also not ashamed to tell you that I thought a couple of the girls in the band were totally hot. Whatever, the drummer has an ALF tattoo, which should serve as some kind of vindication, right?
You gotta cry tough, out on the street, to make your dreams happen
You gotta cry out, out to the world, to make them all come true

Back in the day a guy told me once that he masturbated on a Poison poster 'cos he thought they were girls. True story!

"Sorry it can't all be UK punk, Gabe..."
I actually laughed out loud just now. (Nothing personal, Mr. Slaughter of Innocents, but a good wisecrack is a good wisecrack.)
Now bring on the acid jazz!
what ever i still didn't leave that comment ok.
I don't care what anyone thinks.."Cry Tough" is an amazing, classic song. So good!
that's greg, by the way..i don't speak for the whole band
You are so right, Greg - that's why I quoted it's wisdom!
And yes, The Wizard was in KC,MO last Friday. It was fukkn great, and I look forward to coming back in a couple of weeks!
I was totally coming here to talk about how great "Cry Tough" is. I'm glad people beat me to it.
FINALLY! I'm more punk than somebody!! I'm crying tears of joy - I hated Poison (and post - Shout At The Devil era Motley Crue) with every fiber of my being. Granted, loving Black Flag and Die Kreuzen didn't get me laid like Poison did for my friends - but at least I had my dignity!!
