Fun fact, it was because of the "sound" of this record that Bon Jovi got the same producer, Bruce Fairbairn, to produce their their album, Slippery When Wet. Jon was listening to this CD and loved the sound. If their was ever a true champion of 80's rock music, it was Fairbairn. His resume is incredible. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1999, but what a legacy he leaves behind.
Definitely Bullshit CDs weren't even around yet and at that time everyone were using one out of the three huge producers at the time,so very much doubt bon Jovi wanted the producer just because of them. Doc magee was also friends with the guy so I'm sure that had way more to do with it. Either way both suck
By second record, 1985’s Without Love, hard rock had established a firm foothold in the US charts, with bands like Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Ratt and Night Ranger enjoying success, but it was merely the tip of the iceberg. In August 1986 (and a month later in the UK), Bon Jovi would release the album that made their careers. Slippery When Wet would turn the New Jersey quintet from also-rans to world beaters, selling almost 30 million copies. The reason it’s mentioned here? Simple: without Black ’N Blue, Slippery When Wet might not have existed, at least not as we know it. As the story goes, Jon Bon Jovi was looking to hire a producer for the follow-up to 7800° Fahrenheit when he heard Without Love and was completely blown away by it, hiring Bruce Fairbairn (and writing a song of his own called Without Love). “I can verify that,” nods St James, “as Jon Bon Jovi told me that face to face one night. So it’s true! What he told me was: ‘I put your CD on and it blew away ours.’ Even Richie Sambora thanked me. I don’t know, I guess it should kinda piss me off in a way. Like, you know, where’s my cheque?” St James isn’t bitter, though. “What I can take away from it is, I must have been a fairly smart guy for choosing [producers] Bruce Fairbairn and Bob Rock. I saw something there.”
These guys were the💣! Should have been a lot bigger. My big bro who just passed got me in to see them backstage at the Roxy when I was underage because he knew someone in their management.! they were cool when I met them. Hold on to MF 18!💯🤘🏾🔥🔥💣🎸🙏🏾
I seriously had a Miss Mystery, I think all of us guys in the eighties had one, it was just that one that was interested in you, but you were to intimidated to actually go for.
Shit I was a mutt,no female intimidated me not sure what or where you grew up at but I learned at a very young age,life is short and don't ever pass a chance at any girl. Unless they looked like your uncle or something but you get the picture.. yeah definitely a mutt, damn not sure how I feel about that now lol,over it
1987... friend suggested I get one of their cassettes tapes. I honestly have no idea how many 100's of hours I spent wearing the tapes out! The good ol' days, back in Gillette, Wyoming.
This shit gives you chills lmao I can’t imagine what you’d feel like if you listened to some SRV or Eric Clapton,Jimmie page,Ritchie Blackmore I think you’d be in lala land lol
A very much underrated band that never really got any radio airtime..they first came to my awareness in 1985 when they opened for Y&T at the Concord pavilion in, you guessed it, Concord California.
Saw them on that same tour. It was at Celebrity Theater in PHX. The theater is "in the round." There are two ramps for the bands to get to the stage, the seating is right next to the ramps. My buddy had his seat right next to the ramp. He knew what a huge Tommy Thayer fan I was. Tommy came out to watch Yngwie play and he was standing right next to my friend. He tapped me on the shoulder with a big grin on his face and switched seats with me. After a few minutes of "I can't believe this!!" I got up the courage to tap him on the shoulder and tell him what a big fan I was and complimented him on his playing. He was very gracious and and spent a couple of minutes chatting. I'll never forget it :) I was probably 16 at the time. I'm approaching 54 now. I miss those days :)
@@billc307🥳we were there in Portland, Or. Malmsteen would go behind the stage and blow dry his hair between songs😲 then went off to party with Saxon @ Red Lion Hotel🛥️🏨still have the Drawings/Characher's from that night💫fun times💎🪞👗💄👛🌹🌉❤️♾️
There's still a lot of "groups" who still knows how to play their instruments. Even Nickelback sounds harder than this 80's soft metal band... Lmao Stop whining you boomer
Where this band was on my teen age years???? why they hid it from me??, Great to find it today, is like reborn the 80s on 2023, Where is that Mystery Miss?
I remember this video on U68 in NYC 1985, THE POWER HOUR, it's good to see it again and hear a great classic, they don't make em like this anymore, it's a shame cause today's music is 99% trash, BRING BACK ROCK AND METAL, SERIOUSLY!
@@andyclark4557 yes even that's gone along with Tower Records, J&R Music World, Bleecker Bob's and Manny's music store. What a tremendous loss some music fans and New York City
@LETS MAKE MONEY and that's why NYC sucks now, the music, too expensive, lowlifes, crazy homelessness, lowlife thugs, it's funny how so many people complained back then how bad the city was back in the 70s, 80s and 90s and it was but at least it was cheaper, fun to go out, so many places to go and hangout with people and making new friends, drinking, smoking pot and nobody killed each other as much, lol, so many places to shop and the prices was reasonable, arcades like Playland was a cool place to hangout, eat at Tads steaks, chilling at 40 deuce all day, watching a action movie and more,BMX and mountain bikes were cool and skateboarding, now things got so lame and dangerous and expensive, no where to go, NYC back in the day had a certain feel, look, smell, taste, it was so much fun everywhere, the best and worst times of my life but it was still better than now.
@@andyclark4557 I totally Agree. New York City Sucks Now. Their definitely was alot more to do and it was much more affordable. I remember seeing Iron Maiden at Radio City. That's when Bruce Dickinson got sick, They were supposed to be their for a week. Remember the concerts on the pier. NEXT to the Intrepid it Looked Real Cool at Night. I Saw The Kinks there there was also concerts at the Beacon Theater. I saw Ronnie James Dio and Ozzy at the Nassau Coliseum. The Who played at the Garden back then concert tickets cost $20 to $30. Minimum wage was $3.30 an hour, you worked one day and you could afford your concert tickets we used to cruise Francis Lewis Boulevard and Queens Boulevard. The radio stations and Music were better, the girls were a lot hotter. Cars were Better Looking and much less expensive. I regret working so much and not enjoying my youth now it's Sucks their Nothing to do or Enjoy. Diners were open 24/7 Now they close at 9p.m. I forgot 38 Special played at Great Adventure. And Raceway Park in Englishtown was Still open and held the Nationals Their. Their were Great Clubs down at the Jersey Shore and on Long Island. Fort Lauderdale Florida was a single man's Paradise. Wet Tshirt Contests, 4 Bikini Contests on the Weekends, The Beach, Babes, Bikinis, Strip Clubs, Massage Palors, and Clubs open till 4 am. When they closed it was off to R Donuts (the Topless Donut Shop), then off to Miami to the Topless Carwash, Laundry mat and Nude Beach. Now it's all gone Unfortunately. They had exotic car rentals Grand Prix go-kart tracks airplane ride helicopter rides, Speed Boat Rides it wa 24-hour 7-Day week Party FKIN CENTRAL. I Forget one very important Radio Station 102.7 with Scott Muni. Remember when he would play the Perfect Album Side.

Never got enough recognition
Not even 100K views for this one, so sad. One of the best songs of it's time
One of the most underrated Bands ever, should have got a better push from their record company. Should have been huge
YES!!!!
Could not agree more showing my age though

Hi, I was just wondering what your age was in 1985 when this song came out? I was only 15.
Still rocking to this song in 2023!!!!
Someone dedicated this song to me. Here I am listening to it 30 years later 😑🤣
It was me!! 🙋♂
This is quite possibly one of the most awesome music videos I have ever seen. Just saw it for the first time today.

This is bloody brilliant
I put this song in the top 10 of glam rock ballads 🤟
Wore this cassette out.
I wonder if the extras that are eating from the bowls on the plane, ever tell their grand kids how they were in an 80s rock music video?
Stay truthful to yourself, we all can fill young when listening to the 80s. Heavy metal rules
.
happy birthday tommy thayer💓
I still have this album❤
Great song!
My favorite Twilight Zone episode!
I for real thought they were mimicking that.
They were.
back when groups could sing and play their instruments
mjbuckeye3254 and no auto tune. Imagine that. :)
There's still a lot of "groups" who still knows how to play their instruments. Even Nickelback sounds harder than this 80's soft metal band... Lmao Stop whining you boomer
@@BackNBlackful harder doesn't mean better hahahaha! Of all bands you use Nickleback as an example. That literally shows what you know about music.
Love this song
Seen them Lita Ford and Yngwie Malmsteen at Music Hall in Cleveland. Very very underrated band!!! Great concert!!
fantastic song !!!
It just like that twilight zone episode. 😀👍🤘🎸
April 12, 2024 - still listening ;-)
Who would know that Tommy would take the place of Ace in Kiss!!
I recall that Gene Simmons produced several Black 'N Blue albums, but I don't recall which ones.
drumming on the aeroplane...priceless
good song 100% 80's
They let the record label take over to much. Their first album was so raw, it was fantastic. They never recovered from this album.

Very very very good rock band!

i was 8 years old.
I never saw a rock band play on the wings of an airplane in a music video, let alone without any CGI involved. Bravo.
Where are clips like this today

Damn, I ain't seen this video or heard the song since 1985.
Their album In Heat is an all timer for me. I'm saddened by how they were completely ignored by their own label.
This song stays in my head!!! It won't leave lol!!
Well the first time that I saw you
You were runnin' with the wrong crowd
With your head up in a dark cloud
You know I had this funny feelin'
That you were gunnin' for trouble
But I never knew
So here I go just-a-runnin' after you
Hello Miss Mystery
Here you are so far from me
Someday Miss Mystery
You'll spare me all this misery
We had a big misunderstanding
You said love could tie you down
You tell me you can't hang around
And now it's getting too demanding
Yeah you're bringing me down
You're playing your game
I'm tied to the tracks just a-waiting for the train
Hello Miss Mystery
Here you are so far from me
Someday you'll set me free
And spare me all this misery
Hello Miss Mystery
Here I am, what's left of me
Someday Miss Mystery
You're gonna find out what you meant to me
And so I had this funny feeling
I said forget about you
Don't wanna pretend
But here we are
Right back where we began
Hello Miss Mystery
Here you are so far from me
Someday you'll set me free
And spare me all this misery
Hello Miss Mystery
Here I am, what's left of me
Someday Miss Mystery
You'll spare me all this misery
This whole album is good.
