Faster Pussycat – “Nonstop to Nowhere” (1992)
“I’m on the lame train, I got a first-class ticket on the nonstop to nowhere,” Taime Downe self-deprecatingly tells us right at the start, running away from home at the crack of dawn (“fiiiiiiive o’clock in the morning”) as he boards a nowhere-train rock’n’roll tradition that dates back way before than Guns N’ Roses’ “Nightrain” — to Lester Bangs calling heavy metal a “fast train to nowhere” in 1980, or Dion’s “two fists of iron but I’m going nowhere” in 1961, or the Champs’ “Tequila” B-side “Train To Nowhere” in 1958.
There’s a sweet jangle to the chords and girls harmonizing in the background, and Taime missing those lost days of “skipping school and stealing gasoline.” Hollywood-based Russ Meyer fans Faster Pussycat had just come off a “You’re So Vain” cover and “House of Pain,” their biggest hit, a sad one about a broken home. And unlike most hair-metal relics in the grunge years, they had no fear of coming off soft: In the video, filmed on a kind of wee-hours urban lunar green-cheese landscape, Taime looks vampire pale. Which gave the band a slight S&M-goth bent — the singer’s silly submissive name, all those whips — that girls apparently appreciated, even if boys didn’t.
