Hot Blooded (& a bit of musical tangents through 80's metal)
So this crosses my screen this afternoon. And it makes my happy. Foreigner - Hot Blooded.
The bass player in this lineup is Jeff Pilson. He used to be in this band (Dokken - Breaking the Chains)
The singer of that Foreigner lineup? Kelly Hanson. I've actually seen Kelly sing live before. Back in the 80's with a band called Hurricane. They were on tour with Stryper. (it was at Memorial Hall in KCK, small venue but great place to see music because there weren't bad seats in the place) Hurricane - I'm On To You.
Now the bass player is Tony Cavazo and the guitar player is Robert Sarzo. Do those names sound a little familiar? But may they don't sound quite right? It might be because you recognize them from their brothers. Guitarist Carlos Cavazo and bassist Rudy Sarzo from this band
Rudy got tired of Kevin Dubrow (or something) and left QR for this band (which I also saw live while he was with it) (and yes, his hair is bleached out here).
And Tawney Kitean the car dancing video vixen? She has a prior hair metal association as well. Because those are her legs on Ratt's EP cover. She dated guitarist Robbin Crosby at the time.
And since technically the song is on the EP she was on. Ratt - Back for More.
I've seen Ratt live as well. They played Starlight Theater in KC as well as Municipal Auditorium with me in attendance. The first of those at Starlight, an outdoor musical theater venue, had Bon Jovi opening for them (yes, I said opening for Ratt). I'll confess that I thought Jon Bon Jovi was a much stronger performer that night. But it might have something to do with Jon's creative use of Starlight's onstage balcony for a song or two (he did get on the balcony to sing for a while) - which Stephen Pearcy did not do.
Now I'm off to spend some quality time YouTube Surfing.
