    When I listen to Hard Rock/Glam Metal it gives me the feeling that I will be able to achieve all my dreams, my favorite subgenre of rock in roll, this band is one of the best in the style, guitar solo and incredible music. 🇧🇷🤘

      Great bands you mention right there (my fave among them being Leatherwolf). There are 3 reasons why they were not as popular: they came into the scene just a yr or two too late, they weren't as 'pretty' as Poison or Bon Jovi, and they were a bit heavier. Rock on, bro!🤘

      Damn the Record companies for going all in on Grunge and backstabbing all the Glam bands they signed on. Not to mention Nirvana for taking over the prevailing ethos of Rock music, making it so that Rock had to be dour and depressing in order to be serious. Also, Metal Elitists for being assholes and over saturation.

Maybe it's just a generational thing or a matter of taste. Either way, I'm in my 40's, mature, and a hard working, tax paying, contributing member of society. I like what I like, you like what you like. To each his own, whatever YOU LIKE IS WHAT YOU LIKE AND VICE VERSA! Carry on dude!

"Sally Danced" is a little away from my taste, but everything else is SLAM BANG BAD ASS! A totally solid album. Too bad not more people can get it since it's their only album NOT on iTunes.
