Description

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

A quite infamous British Glam band with roots heavily entrenched in South Wales, although boasting an American drummer for the greater part of their career, TIGERTAILZ was able to build on the interest in American 80 Glam.
The group premiered with a self-financed EP hoot To Kill’, in 1987 and began to pull in the crowds wherever they played within Britain. TIGERTAILZ also played a number of dates in Germany and Holland supporting TOKYO BLADE. The buzz led to a deal with Music For Nations and TIGERTAILZ would set to work on the ‘Young And Crazy’ album, which surfaced during November 1987. The album, recorded at Gooseberry Studios in London, was notably produced by Steve James, son of the legendary ‘Carry On’ comic actor Sid James. Gigs across the UK saw a mix of headline shows and supports to MAMAS BOYS and VOW WOW.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT This album is the best thing Tigertailz ever did as they had Steevi Jaimz who was/is still one of the best singer/songwriter/frontman the uk has ever spawned.from star attraction to Hollywood killer this album is up there with the first two motley crue albums…forget the albums after with kim hooker as his voice and style just grate. This is the real deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Britain answer to Poison and glam era Crue Back in high school at the age of 15, my girlfriend picked this album up and shared it with me, and I was blown away. I was into sleazy rock like Motley Crue, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, Cats In Boots. This album fits right into my choice picks from that era. Their cover was obviously playing off Poison Look What The Cat Dragged In. Their name is also a bit cheesy. But I’m recommending that you take a second look at this album in particular. Steevi Jaimz was singing for the band at the time and it was his voice that really helped them stand out. He has a Michael Monroe sound that is timeless. Every song could have been a hair metal hit. They are all catchy, fun, sleazy, and of course there is a solid ballad on there too. The band re-recorded Livin’ Without You with their new vocalist shortly after Steevi left. In my opinion, the band lost the one element that really made them shine when they fell out with Steevi. Young and Crazy is one of the best hair metal albums of the 80 and should not be overlooked. Check out: Livin’ Without You, Shameless, and Young and Crazy. 5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome cheezy Glam metal!! I’ve always loved bad/good 80s metal, and I just figured with a cover like that, the LP had to Rock. I was definitely not disappointed!! This album is SO great!! And when I say “great”, I mean great if you’re looking for super mega distorted guitars and an over the top singer performing ridiculously catchy pop tunes…the classic recipe for extra-gooey 80s glam cheese!! Seriously, this album is a must buy for anyone who would ever call themselves an 80s metal fan!
