As Deadline / Cleopatra Records prepares to release a 4 CD set
paying tribute to the bands of the L.A. strip, ahead of it is a
17-track advance CD with some absolutely killer demo versions of
classic metal anthems.
Leading off is a much more vocally intense version of Dokken's
"It's Not Love". The song in this recording is raw,
aggressive and much more c*ck-sure with what sounds like Jeff
Pilson and Mick Brown adding to the vocal proceedings.
Warrant's version of "Last Action Hero" sounds nothing like
anything on their debut release and probably would have been
most at home on "Dog Eat Dog". "On Your Knees" by Great
White is the original version from their debut EP which was one
nasty track when it was released over 20 years ago. It
spews as much venom as W.A.S.P.'s "Animal" sans the profanity.
Pretty Boy Floyd's "Don't Save Your Love" is a cool mid-paced
tune that sounds really good in this raw form. "Wish It
Was Summer" by Love/Hate has a forewarning sound to it that
seems to point right towards Seattle. Definitely not one
of their better tracks. "Feel The Shake" by Jetboy seems
to have a much heavier backend and very well may point to the
style of their long lost Elektra debut CD that was buried in the
vaults.
There are some really impressive moments on the disc and some
others that just don't stand the test of time too well.
Personally, I can't wait to hear some of the obscurities that await in the 4-disc set.
