Some of the best shows I've ever seen are BT shows. When they opened with TNG before it was released on LOVE AFTER DEATH, they absolutely blew the crowd away, but really did that every show, every song, every Tango Tome!
Went to high school in the '80s. Fun time to live. I remember blasting this song in my car with my brand new Kenwood CD player and speakers in '88 - '89
Hell yeah! I graduated high school in 1986 and it was the best of times. The 80's decade was one of the best ever to be a teenager. I left home in August of 1986 and it was nothing but partying and great times with my closest buds. Awesome memories. Rock/Metal forever! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
These guys where great song writers and instrumentalists wasn't born in the 80s but love real music like the older stuff one of my personal favorite albums of theirs is dancing on coals this is the second.
@@BoslagerBBQ What hair Metal? They all had long hair LOL. These guys were Glam Metal or Sleaze Metal if you want to get technical, A sub genre of a sub genre.
I never heard of Bang Tango until I got with my boyfriend at the time. That was in 1991 and after 32 years together now I still love Bang Tango and absolutely love my husband!!!!
I saw these guys at a club with LA Guns and Faster Pussycat. Bang Tango blew them out the water. Seriously talented guys. That singer is fantastic live.
I was there too ... Club was in Santa Ana Calufornia yes your correct Bang Tango was Tops perfect in every way ... Was called the Bad Boys of Metal Tour 🎸 🎸 🎸 👍 👍 👍
This is flat out one of the best melodic hard rock songs ever recorded. The video is just as good and is full of an energy that makes one feel alive again. One of the best all around.
This was always one of my favorite videos. They seemed apart from the other '80s bands. His voice range is incredible. He sounds like Ian Asbury from The Cult yet reminds me a bit of Steven Tyler. The band was underrated and this is the only video I've ever seen by them. I can remember cruising in my car listening to this and partying and just really getting into it. It's nice to find it again.Have always loved the neon. Lots of memories great memories.xx 🌬️🎤🌹
There will never be an era like the Sunset strip in the 80s. I remember seeing them live at the Whiskey. Nothing like seeing live performances in small venues.
It has a very unique and distinct sound. When you combine that sound with the whole scene at the time it created this atmosphere that is non-replicable now. The "swag" a lot of the bands possessed was just absent in the 90s mainstream bands.
Theresvalwaysvan era like that it depends on your perspective and mindset though age tends to skew those with the disillusionment of nostalgia and remembering things with rose colorized glasses...
I was 25 when this video came out and I remember really liking this band a lot, and I STILL do. They were harder than most of the hair metal bands who couldn't even compare. Looking back now, at age 52, I am glad to see that some bands dared to rise among the commercialization that ruled the late 80's and early 90's, and that Bang Tango was one of them.
Wow, what a vocal range... Another wicked 80's band that I won't be able to see live because I was born in the wrong era... Oh well these videos are all I have. Rock On! /,,/
This right here is some righteous shit. It's a shame I'd never heard Bang Tango's music before. I only heard the name. On a whim, I did a RU-vid search on Bang Tango, and found this. These are musicians. But here in the 21st century, true musicians are a dying breed.
True musicians are a dying breed... WTF? Seriously? You're on RU-vid. This place is full of true musicians. In fact, thanks to platforms like RU-vid, these musicians can reach far more people than they ever were able to in the past without the benefit of a record company exploiting them. I'd have to say it's a great time to be a musician especially for the younger generation. I've heard many talented, inspiring performers thanks to video channels like this. It's have been nice to have something like this when I was younger and wasting time in garage bands and playing bars or hell, just learning how to play.
Beyond awesome true musicians 💯🤘🤘🤘wow this album is beyond awesome 💯 takes me back to 89 i was 22& I use to see guys play all the time in Hollywood CA those were the days 💯 1989
Joe Leste has great range and really has the hand shaking thing down. That is what 15 year old me thought when this song came out. I saw them with Ratt, LA Guns, Contraband many years ago. Great concert.
I've been to literally hundreds of concerts in the past 50 years and to this day Bang Tango was the LOUDEST of ANY show I've EVER been to. Saw them at a tiny little club in Houston in the mid 80's and I swear to God they had enough sound system to blow the roof off of an arena. I think this club may have had a capacity of about 500 people. Fucking amazing!!!!
Bang Tango was great live at The Cathouse! Sucks they never go to a higher "known" status because they played some good, groovy rock much and Joe Leste, great singer.
One of the best live bands I've EVER seen, and I've seen most of them, partied with these guys twice back in '88-'89, Mark Knight and Kyle Kyle were down to earth and cool as fuck.
Bang Tango was such an underrated band so much talent. They should have went much further than they ever did. And I will have to admit Joe was absolutely gorgeous.
I won tickets on KNAC to see RHCP with NIRVANA! I was like,"that's totally awesome!" live on the radio. I miss KNAC in LA when I was a kid. Here in South Florida, they shut the rock station down years ago and no replacement... rockless-radio...so sad.
Bang Tango is playing tonight 5 Mar 2022 at Backstage Bar and Billiards on Freemont Street in Las Vegas. This lineup is Joe Leste, Kyle Kyle, Rowan Robertson, Jason Walker and...I don't recall the drummer's name at the moment. Opening for Hookers and Blow (Dizzy Reed of GNR) and Cheetah Chrome.
You KNOW it, Goodman...the 80's were just the BEST. As a man who was in his mid 20's at the time this came out, and one who lived thru the 80's in it's entirety, all I can say is that I miss those days like no other. The world was so much better and people were wilder and more carefree, in an innocent way that eventually saw the world going south for the worse as attitudes and ideas radically changed, and that innocence turned to pure shit. Our beloved 80's, now only a memory :-(
ya i agree i had the best time's of my life back i went to alot of concert's ...met the love of my life..he was (is )my world my everything..we were together 26 yrs..and one day he left and married a girl he only knew for 1 yr..needless to say she turned around and left him 3 weeks after giving birth to baby..ya he tried cerawling back to me..but i was too scared of him doing that to me again..we also have a son together so i still see him and talk to him..and like a fool last yr we got together and wow the love we had for each other is still there in both of us..6 months down the road he tells me his other ex was calling him etc...he said he had to figure things out..and ya he is with her now..i still get that gut wrenching crying were you can,t breathe..i'm an emotional wreck ..but with time i will be ok..or i will just learn how to live with the pain and missing him so much and go on with my life being alone..the hole you left in my heart Mark is in the shape of you and no one will fill it.....well take and ya i would love to go back to the 80's god i miss those days..
I consider myself extremely lucky. I got the best of it all. Born in 76. 14 in 1990 so I got to enjoy all these bands in my formative years. Then teens in the 90's and experienced the best of that. So I appreciate all 80's and 90's music but the 80's were way more awesome.
That's a really good and of course uncommon attitude. I've always preferred the thrash end of the metal spectrum but there is such at atmospheric sound to these late hair bands. Makes me think of Tia Carare(sic)s band in Wayne's World lol. It's like the 2nd half of 1988 through 1991 had their own special sound!
I still love Bang Tango. All these years later. I loved them when their albums came out and still love them as much as ever. I wish I could go back in time. 😪
Sandy, now look what you started ? I'm from Washington State, granted a lot of bands have made it big out of Seattle but after reading your comment I have to go watch Queensryche Operation Mind Crime. Take great care all ROCKAHOLICS !!!!!
Wow, I'm a huge fan of this type of music but I've never heard this song and don't know this band. My first reaction is - what the hell is that, I want more of this! Guitar work is fantastic, that solo melted me.
All these type bands from then can't or won't write the material anymore. Same as new bands that are like this. They can't really do anything anymore, for over 25 years.
Good old days. Cranking great music, pounding beers and doing big ass lines of coke all night with your favorite girl and banging until the sun came up.
My god, the eighties definitely had the most important part of my life in music .. thank the lord for classic rock radio and bands covering this generation of music.. thank you all
Tyr Barghest My older son who is 20 thanks me for introducing him to some awesome music, from Metal to classic rock, now I have 2 younger ones who I am exposing them to this great music and they love it.
As a published Nashville song writer I do believe this songs is the only song I've ever heard that points out most people end up with someone just like them. So anyone reading this who has had a bad situation no matter how hard you tried smile and know somewhere down the road they'll be getting the same.
My brother had a band and one of the members had a cassette tape of this band it must have been a demo and it was great and then they went in the studio and made the album and it lost something like just raw power of the songs, my brother got some tickets and back stage passes to I think it was Toads place ,New Haven CT. and we went down and saw them he had to do a little interview for a hair band magazine with them its good band and I wish the studio didn't mess that album up I think it would have been pretty big.
