They Rocked!

So the way I guess this is working right now is that when I have a song in my head, we get a post. For some reason, don’t know why because I had not heard it in a while, Smooth Up In Ya by the Bulletboys has been hanging out.

It was 1988 and at the time the Bulletboys were being compared to the original Van Halen lineup (mostly because of singer Marq Torien’s hair). It’s hard to believe that it had only been a few years since the break up of the original VH at the time.

From Wikipedia:

The band’s first two albums (BulletBoys and Freakshow) were well received by critics and fans alike proven by the band selling over 1 million copies worldwide. Some critics compared the band to David Lee Roth-era Van Halen, as Torien’s vocal and performances were similar to Diamond Dave. That argument was furthered by the fact that Ted Templeman produced both the Roth-era Van Halen albums and the BulletBoys. In addition, both bands were signed to Warner Bros. Records.

Big Bass and Drums, man! Let’s watch a couple videos!

Smooth Up in Ya!
