Members vanlatte Posted February 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 Saw them live in the 70s, very kick ass! I am Jacks raging jealousy! How were they live? All of the 'live' clips I have found are obviously lip synched. My mom and Step dad were fans back in the day, this tape was in the car constantly. Hearing these songs again is way over the top nostalgic for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lokidecat Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 Meh, without Connely it just wasnt the same. Shrug. I prefer the Tia Carrere version from Wayne's World anyways (yes she really sang that). BzeuxQOwtl8 She's hot even if she's playing "fake bass" in the video.

Members blueyedmule Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 Think the first time I ever heard Ballroom Blitz was when Krokus was covering it. Took me a long time to discover that it wasn't their tune after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you it was 30 years ago, but I remember a great cutting bass tone, and that they all dressed in white. Looked cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cpt. Spliff Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 Back in the day, you either like Sweet or Slade, I liked Sweet. Too young to have seen them live though. Back in my day and where I come from, you liked Elvis or Cliff. (I liked The Shadows.) Later you liked The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. That was before Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull led me to bass. Damn. I'm too old to Rock'n'Roll, too young to die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
