Marq is also an AMAZING guitar player. He recently was at Whisky Go Go Ultimate Jam night and played 316 and Mean Street on a guitar that Eddie gave him.
I SAW THESE GUYS IN PHILLY MANY YEARS AGO AGO AND WAS SO IMPRESSED THAT I DROVE TO NORTH JERSEY THE VERY NEXT NIGHT TO SEE THEM AGAIN. I THINK THEY WERE ON THE ROAD WITH MR.BIG
I was a huge Bullet Boys fan. When KNAC would play them I'd crank it. Very good band. The lead singers killing it. The basist is superb as is the guitarist and drummer. Jesus is Lord!
@@doginu yeah, I'm a KMET guy turned to KLOS, finally found my true love and I called her KNAC but occasionally I step out the back door and take KCAL out on a date.
I saw them at a club in Wilmington NC at a long gone place called "The Mad Monk", it was freezing and the line was all around the building. I was on a first date with a dude and suggested we go see them. Haha...soon as we entered the 2 story club I hustled to the front of the stage and planted myself there the entire performance. My stupid date lol, didn't like the music but hung around ..so I kept having him get me beer after beer...the band was incredible, sounded fantastic, the lead singer marq was a doppelganger for DLR..💖...great night, great band ...
I remember this band and song.. Heck yea!! I remember rocking my bullet boys tshirt and loved every minute of it! I was a teenager when this came out. I barley was but I was! Good ole days and best of times!! Damn I miss it too!!
the dude has an amazing voice and its near the same live as the album.this is a strong voice here.met these guys at a record store and then ,seen Mark and Lonnie the next day at the mall.i hung out with Mark talking about his voice and all types of shit.really cool dude
Always loved these guys! Saw them live, with Cinderella, and Winger. They had such a powerful sound! Big drums, ripping bluesy guitar, great basslines, and Marq's awesome vocals!
Man, these guys were so damned good live. whether it a live audience of about 10 or 10,000 these guys made it tough to follow for a lot of other bands.
Even the worst music from this era (not that THIS is one of those), is far, far better than 99% of ANYTHING "mainstream" today. Sure there are a lot of undiscovered artists out there - but back then it was a different game. Bands developed by playing live .
Yeah buddy , saw these guys back in the day , in a rather small venue , down in Baltimore, Md . And like so many bands , back then , they really kicked ass , loud , right on the money , and weren’t afraid , to go apeshit , even in a small club . But a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then , but these guys was , HOT ! ! ! And back then , I was a biker , M.C. club , and used to go to lots of clubs , to check out a lot of , the really great bands fer , almost nothing , pick up a hottie , and get, neckad! I made a ton of money , selling , meth , coke , and killer weed ! Those days was like , the Wild West ! And we was the bad guys ! Oh to , be able to go back then , and I would’ve lived a lots , faster , cause now I’m just an old guy , my hearts still wild , but the flesh is weak !
@Sly Rax yes.....they were marketed as the next VH ....well with Ted Templeman they had the avenue. Marc did have a killer voice, but just about everything he did was emulating David Lee Roth. The rest of the band couldn't hold a candle to Van Halen.
These guys are heavy hitters in the scheme of things ..pure genius! Marq Torien is full of himself. I wouldn't have missed this band for the world. "Bulletboys..SING!" HAHAHA God bless Rock and Roll! Carry on.👍😀🙏
@@lorettasearcy1471 those are ugly , jealous ,slackjaw losers that couldn't get a girl to tell them they were attractive except for their mom and sister .. 😂
I 100% agree with your comment and thank you for posting it. One other voice that reminds me of Marq T. Of that era would be Mark Slaughter particularly when he was vocalist of Vinnie Vincent Invansion & First Few Slaughter Album’s. I can say Marq’s voice has held up significantly compared to Mark Slaughter. I attended a Slaughter Concert last year and many songs were in different key / certain parts on many songs he turned the mic for crowd to sing . Marq T still has the pipes & energy
Wanted to add another similar talent vocalist from that era. Joe Leste’ front man for Bang Tango. Another talented group and Psycho Cafe was a great album . Early Albums of group Extreme were /are great as well
I saw these guys on MTV as a kid and thought, "I wanna look like they sound when I grow up." Loud, wild, sexy, careless"....... mission accomplished. Thank you, Bullet Boys and all 80's bands. 😎
At one point in this interview, they were talking about "homeless people" in L.A. like it was a rare thing. 6:10 Now, it is a common, everyday sight in our urban landscape.
I like his look, style, and moves. But think he tried to emulate David Lee Roth a little too much. But yeah, he did have a great voice, definitely one of the better of the hair metal lead singers.
Always LOVED this song and leads moves (🙃) but I never knew he could sing this good LIVE! They could've been HUGE.. Oh, btw..dude on our left during interview looks so much like Bach. I'm on my cheap shitty phine, so I can't see him really goid, but I'm seeing Sebatian on my phone, lol, at least from a distance with the cam.
Fuck, Mick Sweeda, that dude has a GUITAR TONE!!! Dirty as fuck but so clean and articulated in the mix!! When vocals say mean green, just listen to those notes SPARKLE!! If goofball singer would stop stepping on Mick with his wanna.be roth shit, well, maybe these dudes would have been huge. Cheers to Mick Sweeda
- Marq had a David Lee Roth vibe the way he performed. This Band definitely had balls!!! Their first two albums were BadAss, produced by Ted Templeman who also produced Van Halen.
Yes..Fu CK in made my night. Saw these guys many times in clubs. They always bring it just like that. Awesome. The original line up always the best. Cool to see this video of the originals. I hung out with them and met marqs sister at FM station years ago. They rocked then too. Marq on guitar.. But he always rocks no matter what. Just giving props where props are due. You guys were the next can Halen. Great formula.. Producer and songs. Should've ate your pride and stayed together... Maybe you could changed history and driven out grunge rock. Almost. Love Bullet Boys. Always will.
I cant believe I never seen this! Mustve been when I was with a guy that was tryin to convert me into a Deadhead! Guess what!? IT DIDNT WORK!!! Metal cat for life!!! Jus call me METAL KITTY ;) \m/
Thanks a ton! I've been looking for a good quality version of this. You'd probably have a lot more views if you changed the name to "Bulletboys Smooth up In ya/For The Love Of Money tv performance" or something of the sort.
After seeing these guys open for Winger and Cinderella in the late 80's, my friends and I watched them get forcibly removed from a truck stop by several truckers because they were harassing the customers and wait staff. They tried to be all cool and tough, but the truckers were not having it. Long story short, the BulletBoys got their asses kicked and thrown out of a truck stop diner. Moral of the story: a little manners goes a long way. true story.
Does anybody the exact date of when this performance was recorded? I can't find any information anywhere on the internet about this show. For some reason, finding any accurate information on this band is highly allusive. It would be really interesting to know where that filthy rehearsal studio was and also why Marq release any of the pro shot video from their 1991 tour. The only real video from that era is from ABC's "In Concert 91" tv series that was recorded at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre.
This band is tragic. There was a groove to Bullet Boys that wasn't in other hair metal. Torien had a great voice ( he's great on guitar as well) but apparently an ego and some issues to match. Sweda said that's the reason they tolerated him. That voice. They tried to reunite a few years ago. The shows I saw were better than most hair bands still touring. But they couldn't get along and imploded again.
They came along too late in the decade and got lost in the mix with all the other bands. Its a shame really, they were better than a lot of their contemporaries.
I always felt bad for them because they didn't hit the scene until 1988 and by 1991 they were wiped out by grunge along with all the other hair bands --- if their debut album came out in 1983, they would've had a great career with the type of music they made (VH clones)
Daaayyum this brings back memories! Long live the 80s
Best show of 89, Cinderella, Winger, Bullet Boys kicked ass!
Awesome tour. Was there, Springfield Mass.
Wearing a sleeveless, crop top, mock turtle neck with a fanny pack. I said it before and I'll say it again; the 1980s rocked.
😂 😂
😆🤘 definitely better than baggy trousers ✊
Especially when you know the fanny pack had small vials of coke, a dimebag of weed, and condoms and KY lube in it LOL
@@joe77h32 got that right, 🤘😛🤘
Fo shizzle ma-nizzle! I mean, yeah buddy... 🤘😲🤘
That kicks ass. Love Bulletboys. Marq Torien is a hell of a singer. These guys had balls!
Lol.. what.?
Marq is also an AMAZING guitar player. He recently was at Whisky Go Go Ultimate Jam night and played 316 and Mean Street on a guitar that Eddie gave him.
Yes
And awesome frontman!
OMG! That was me calling in at 8:12. I was 14. What a cheeseball. Thank you for posting this fun trip down memory lane.
I always thought the bass player was HHHOT!!! Let that long blonde hair flow all over me baby! :p But all hot!
Lol
Fucking Hot that bass player! I'm in love.♥️♥️♥️♥️
Those were the days. They sounded great!
Bulletboys kicked ass then and they still do today, original 4 are together again
A mix of David Lee Roth and Vince Neil singing and acting, waoo a very good vocalist and front man!👍🏽👍🏽
Wt..Vince neil you obviously don't know what your talking about
Bullet boys’ For the love of money is one of the greatest covers of all time! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ted Templeman produced their album --- all that VH magic applied to a new band!
I agree! Best cover!

I miss the 80's and the early 90's really bad. Thank you so much for this.
It was a great time for hard rock --- it really sucks that all the depressing grunge stuff killed it off
Mtv Mouth to Mouth had a tons of great performances. I miss all the 80s!!!
One of the few bands I saw live that sounded just like the album. Truly underrated.
Awesome saw them in Austin in 93, hell of a show.

I saw them on that tour, too. I never saw so many hot women at one show in my entire life. Not even a Crue or Def Leppard show.
Saw the same tour in Wheeling Wv great live band

80’s and early 90’s metal was awesome. But once it became formula driven and overproduced in 86 it started to go downhill.
Ain’t that the truth!!
@ghostipedia9981 “Amen, Brother!!” (*Hulk Hogan voice*)
These guys kick ass, i used to absolutely love there swag
Marq was /is an astonishing singer. 🎤
So underrated. It's a shame they didn't stay together longer. They were a lot more unique than many of their contemporaries.
They are back! The original lineup! And on tour! D-evil video is out.
Actually they were quite celebrated when this broke
I couldn’t agree more
@Sly Rax yes.....they were marketed as the next VH ....well with Ted Templeman they had the avenue. Marc did have a killer voice, but just about everything he did was emulating David Lee Roth. The rest of the band couldn't hold a candle to Van Halen.
@Red Dogg - Rebel4Truth 😂😂😂
Cool band! Back in the day when MTV was cool!
That was a great time to be alive, bands played their instruments and the singer sang live, unlike the utter horseshit produced today
Saw Jimmy just a couple of nights ago, playing with George Lynch.
Saw them a few years back, 2019 Rock U. Santa Rosa California. One of their most introspective and self aware recordings.
Great voice 👌 love 80s bands!
Saw them live in a club. I was so ecstatic I jumped onstage, lol. They could really rock!!
Always an excellent band. Torien always belted out serious vocals!
These guys are heavy hitters in the scheme of things ..pure genius! Marq Torien is full of himself. I wouldn't have missed this band for the world. "Bulletboys..SING!" HAHAHA God bless Rock and Roll! Carry on.👍😀🙏
This song and performances drives me wild!! Saw them at the Galaxy last.
Dude the pipes on Marq.... just unbelievable.. wish they coulda kept this chemistry longer
I loved their debut album --- just sucked that grunge killed them off just as their career got started
Regarding Bullet Boys... evidently they were a limited time band as the rest of the Boys couldn't put up with Marq for very long.
That sound engineer was great !!
100 percent , he crushed it for them!!
It’s the Drummer, the Drummer, the Drummer-Jimmy, omg 💋he’s gorgeous! He was always gorgeous!
Micks guitar sounds awesome here!
He's a God of a singer he's got the voice of a banshee he can scream and carry a note like he'll so talented and a hell of a sexy man
Dam these guys are great live. Mick's tone ,holy hell. 👍👍 That's how it's done.
Yoo, that dude can sing. And the band rocks😎🤘
Imo he could have taken David Lee Roth's place.
@@BROU-bb2uc he can sing way WAY better than Roth ever could
mick sweeda, a bad ass guitar player. and what a set of pipes on marq torien
Love them still hell of a talented band
Always thought it was odd he wasn't considered for Van Halen
💛 BulletBoys !! Those were 2 GREAT performances. They're just as good live - kickass band. A BIG fan in Texas- still. Marq is a cutie pie too.
Saw them with Cinderella on the long cold winter tour
Mark's a real great guy I fished with him down in Louisiana about 30 years ago we had a blast keep on rockin mark
People say he's gay

I wasn't crazy about a lot of 80s stuff, but this always rocked
Saw these guys at Fm station in north Hollywood! Great sound!
I wish I could see them Now In 2020!!!!!😎💯❤️
Check for dates. They are going to be out there.
You can!

Just saw them play The Rail CLub Live in Fort Worth, TX. The original 4!! Still killin it, just as good as ever.
No shit? I'll have to catch em if they ever come play down in San Antonio!
Just came back from the M3 Festival in Maryland and saw the original line up. One of the best bands of the weekend! Still incredible!
I'm just pissed I couldn't have been there. I'd love to show Marq how it's done frompower2popmetal
They ever come to Tampa I know how he sings frompower2popmetal
Bulletboys are rock-'n'-roll frompower2popmetal says so so you dumb young f*cks should too
😲 wow, they all have absolutely beautiful hair 😍
Dudes definitely got some kick ass vocals. Not too bad to look at either 🥰.
I totally agree with you
I like his look, style, and moves. But think he tried to emulate David Lee Roth a little too much. But yeah, he did have a great voice, definitely one of the better of the hair metal lead singers.
He was basically a DLR clone but at least he owned up to it and milked it for every last penny!
Love how they cover the ojays song...nice
Jimmy D’Anda-gorgeous!

Spot on. It wasn't by accident. Ted Templeman produced the Bulletboys first two albums. Among many others, he produced David Lee Roth's solo album.
Great guitar tone rockin that les Paul before Slash

Great band. Marq and Jimmy are cool as hell.
I saw these guys open for Cheap Trick in December of 1988; they were Booed off the stage ....
How the hell were these guys NOT selling out arenas and stadiums??? The vocals, the fretwork, the stage presence. Just badazz
They came along too late in the decade and got lost in the mix with all the other bands. Its a shame really, they were better than a lot of their contemporaries.
if they woulda had another hit maybe would have
never followed up
I always felt bad for them because they didn't hit the scene until 1988 and by 1991 they were wiped out by grunge along with all the other hair bands --- if their debut album came out in 1983, they would've had a great career with the type of music they made (VH clones)
