Kix - Live at Hammerjacks - Baltimore, MD - 7/4/1991 

Still are!

the underrated tag

Wow two obnoxious buzzworss

I used to be singer in a band called Neglectid Toyz. We played with Kix a few times (leading off). Once at the Network (which later became AL Gators which was south of Hammerjacks in Batimore). Kix was underrated and very talented. Steve (Whiteman) was always very nice to us and talkative. Some of my best memories...and later Whiteman's son Cody became good friends with my niece Caitlan.

@@stuarth4296 First live show i went to was KiX at The SandBar same place Pasadena Fort Smallwood Road Teen Night 1983 i was 12. I lived just houses away from Bob The manager.

I wish they would have put their issues aside and went out with Donnie! He was that song Writer no matter what he did,

@@XariasI don’t think he wanted anything to do with it. I think he made a large portion of this money back in their hay day. I think he owned the rights to the band. I could be wrong

KIX kicking ass!!

And an underappreciated songwriter, too...

He's such an energetic perforner, and really kind of an enigma. He's so low profile when it comes to anything outside of being on stage. I've never seen an interview or public appearance by him. But when he performs, I can't take my eyes off of him.

You don’t know what that term means

@@nobodiesaltbutmine6674enlighten us with your genius level intellect please. They’re definitely not overrated

They are definitely underrated or better put relatively unknown in comparison to their talent and the fame some other comparable bands from their era achieved.

@@a.s.2426 I’ve opened for Kix about 4-5 times and worked with Steve Whiteman after losing my voice after a long string of gigs. They are one of the most down to earth national acts I’ve opened for or been around and the music is some of the best in our region

hammerjacks crazy times lol

What up chris!?

That title is reserved for David Lee Roth the legend.

Steve does the best Mick Jagger for sure

They had it all man. Killer front man and vocals, great look, cool songs......they should have been way more famous and well known throughout the world. Management/record company dropped the ball with them. They seriously were the best live band I’ve ever seen.

Agreed!

agree with all of this. Hell, they still put on a great show today!

Yah still very good LIVE. Saw them last night at the Dewey Beach show with the wife. She wasnt much into the hairbands but I was telling her that for some reason they never reached that SUPERstar level.

I've heard many technically better voices, but he uses what he has expertly. And he understood the assignment of frontman better than nearly all. Maybe there are others you like but for me Freddie Mercury and David Lee Roth were better but practically no one else.

Who opened for them? was it LOFTON???

Sorry I'm 4 years late. Whoever opened for them couldn't have been too good since I can't remember (too much beer and pot), all I remember was Kix. Always put on a damn good show@@Frndly_Nghbrhd_Towboat_Guy

Pretty sure it was Skid Row. If so....I was there!

This is nothing boys and girls I have a listen to half of musicians and bands of love and support in p that's just a

Pro tip: you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.

@Brodie Enrique definitely, been using Flixzone for since november myself :)

@Brodie Enrique yea, I've been watching on flixzone for since december myself :D

Non better than DLR. sorry.

@@71lemansconvert82 But Whiteman can SING dude!

They did make it! - just not as far as deserved!

Of course not. The lead singer is a cartoon character with bad taste. Two good songs that I can ever remember and I'm sure that was just plain luck. But if this group is your bag, then so be it.

They made it as far as they wanted to go.

@@denisebrashears1552 There’s always that one negative buzzkill hater.

@@trump1912 she probably digs the “talent” in bands like Shitley Crue🥴

Reopens, end of this year. http: // hammerjacks (dot) com for updates. KIX will play the first open night

guitarguts666 I'm a little older now ....but this Va rocker spent a shyt load of time at HJs ....everyone played there....saw Michael schenker, Jimmy page, danny gatton, lita Ford and Gary Moore there, just to mention a few guys that played pretty good ...Geetar....thanks 4 the heads up.. ROCK ON

guitarguts666 Yoyoyoyo and that's the way it should be if they don't open up hammer jacks something is really wrong

Amen!

sure miss going to hammerjacks man love those days(nights)

they used to come to hickory n.c and tear it up...

OMG!!! Miss Hammer's deeply. .. That was my 1st. 🏡😜👍 But then they went and hired the HOE'S non=dancer's worst or all tried to dance on my favorite song named after me,my real name, Rose!🌹🌹🌹🌹 Sadly to say that I was there 4th of July Concert and my so called friends left me, so I had NOWAY ( ride) 🏡 home. 2 guy's offered me a ride home, so i didn't no witch way home was safer a ride with 2 strangers or walk alone all the way to WESTSIDE ln heels & a miniskirt.... Neither way was safer..... I was tied up with ducktape on my eyes & hands and held hostage for about 3-5 hours, knocked OUT with a hud black eye with blood spots on the white parts to my eye, . ROBBED.. The Police the very next morning they even found my jewelry in the dude( John Bengermen Heart Jr.) Pocket while he was at work. One of the worst part was he was only given 3 months, not even sure how much little time. he even done?.. Anyways, I even seen Kix B4 they was even famous!! Here at Westside. SW BMORE. Miss U guys

Lol.

Me too brother

I'm sorry if I missed it I've been busy everytime I see music more than music helping people out promoting music 🎶

First time I ever saw Kix was at Hammerjacks..underage 😅

Exactly!!

HAHA wilkens Ave!!!!! Hookers everywhere!!!!!!

GREAT band and Donnie was certainly their “secret weapon”...

Donnie just lacked the hair 😢

Hammerjacks was the craziest club back in the day. some of the best times of my life.

No, Steve Whitman is not like "Diamond" David Lee Roth, besides the over all charisma...and bot at all like Bret Michael's! I would liken him more so to, say, Steven Tyler! But, whatever he is like, Kix were always a pleasure, and a breath of...real, fresh air!!!

They were outstanding when I saw them at Harpo's Detroit in 1987 or so.

@@joseywales8277 I felt it was my 2nd home, lmao! I was there 7 knights a week. But they F'd up once they hired the freaking hoes to dance on the bars. In which that messed & pissed me off!! That's how i was able to go 7 nights a week & by myself. If a woman danced on the bar to 1 song🎶🎼🎤, she received 1 free drink of her choice And of course sense my name is 🌷Rose🌹, MY choice was GIRL💰MONEY💵

Great show, like all of their live performances. Kix forever.

Hell yes🤘

Dude Brian Jack would sing his ass off! O.C. had all the bands too! F N miss it!

The big three!!!!!! There was many more, but none had what it took to stick around

Cinderella Fuckin rocks live....all bands you mentioned...are fun live.

Doesn’t matter what stratosphere GnR was on. They had one good album. Axl Rose was and is an egomaniacal prick and ruined the band.

I remember my first KIX album with Donnie and it was full of energy but lacking good songs. Was Contrary Mary on it? Anyway BMF was something else and I still don't understand why they did not make it commercially. By the way I'm not from Baltimore or East Coast but Europe. And I'm not the only one here that has loved them for over 30 years

troy peterson. Donne parents let the guy's jam at their house before band every got anywhere.alway remember that People !!!!

Donnie was the best !! Still one of my favorite bands ever .. But it's just not the same without him. He made that bass thump it would shake your pant legs . He rocked !!!

Agreed! Now Donnie chose to quit. So be it. He is an angry man who hates everyone now, and mostly himself. It is sad because He has, and had huge Talent! Donnie was the original heart, soul, and brains of KIX!

Donnie was the genius in the band and Steve couldn't deal with it.

Pretty sure I remember the blonde dancing during Girl Money was a stripper from Nightshift! 😁

And then some! I worked this show and the REAL show was backstage from what I can remember....

Same here and it seems just like yesterday..so much fun!

I remember this concert. I was there too!

Wish I was, had to be killer.

Rob Schultz poison are amazing.

Poison busted ass to make it....do some homework. Kix is badass rock though.

@@cjdickey1650 LOL! They used to come watch KIX all the Time from PA where they are from....They STOLE every light, every movment,and everything else from watching KIX perform....I do not belittle them for having the motivation and endurance to make it happen for them, but yes they had the BEST teachers in the World back then....Kix was poison 15 years before Poison was even heard of....They just got a bad record deal and promotion....

​​@@lukaCOOKIE Poison are good but they've never really stuck with me that well. They are the one famous glam band that i dont really love

My band played Hammerjacks and Brian F' (KIX) is my friend. I moved to Hollywood in the '80s but Godamn! Hammerjacks rocked! - Memories!

Hammer jacks was not just and KIX packed them in every time they played there

Was that at the Rabbits Foot?

The Montainview!!! May have been that place.

+lukemanify dude they still are!!!!!

Got a message bout a gig 2 months ago. Are they on road?

Mr. Logic Pants My pleasure! From one 50-year-old to another, you should try to see them live some time. I'll be at M3 next month to catch them again!

Steve, thanks so much. I found this video through my search for live versions of Girl Money. This one did not dissapoint! (From a mere 45 yr old here, lol)

Thanks for the upload, Steve! I hope you'll record and post the M3 show too. :)

Tinicha718 The M3 Festival was absolutely incredible once again. Kix is the real deal live. They bring it every single show. I have seen them at least 60x. Hammerjacks rules!!

I'm 31 and I've had the pleasure of learning singing techniques from Steve for about six months and opening for Kix everytime they come to Lancaster PA my band opens for any 80s hair act that comes through the area and Steve is one of the best performers and just an all around great guy. Go see them live Kix is one of the few bands from.the 80s that still do a kick ass show just like when they were in their prime. I promise it will be one of the best shows you see from a band from this era

New Hammerjacks? No shit? This place was iconic. There were so many awesome rock clubs and theaters back in those days. They were everywhere.
