Rough Cutt - Try a Little Harder 

i worked as rc body guard in the 80's before going on to dio rc was wendys toy band and they where great and in this vid the two g- players are chris and amir. this was a great band and david was one of the greatest drumers of all time that never got his do. i'm almost 60 now and still love this band. RIP RJD I love you all. BIG DAVE

My favorite rock vocalist...love it!

HOLY FUCK!!!! Thank you!!! I have not seen this in like, 23 years or some shit. I was wonder when it was gonna pop up, ha ha!!!

This song rocks,anybody have this in MP3 format?One of the most under the radar bands from the 80's.

he actually knows how to move to the music, too! that is rare, indeed :) love him

I was so disappointed to not get Try on their debut album but glad they eventually released it on Anthology.

Rough Cutt was THE band that was going to take over the rock world. Great vocals, great songs, everything working together. Amazingly that didn't happen. I think they could have been legends with their sound. Do you happen to have any Rough Cutt material with Jake E. Lee? I never heard him with the band.

@somenewuser I've heard 2 Rough Cutt songs with Jake E. Lee, "A Little Kindness" and "Used And Abused". From what I've heard, Jake briefly rehearsed with the band Dio after that, though I've heard conflicted reports on the exact extent of those rehearsals.

sistersmf paul shortino passed away, damn shame i know but yeah he passed away way before dubrow did,i liked both singers.

One of the best songs by RC that I believe was was a demo is "A Little Kindness." I have a rough version, but it is a killer song by any bands standards.

There is a demo version of this song produced by Ronnie James Dio that is fantastic. Great song.

That is NOT Craig Goldy (not Goldie). Again, a friend of mine. That IS Amir.

@pslover exactly, I talked to him yesterday. If he's dead then I better not send his birthday present...

my bad it was ray gillen of badlands that passed away,that`s who i was thinking of.

Who passed away before Dubrow? Paul Shortino is alive and well and living in Las Vegas if thats who you mean...

If I'm not mistaken I think that's Craig Goldie and not Amir Derakh. Amir came in shortly after this.

Paul Shortino vox Chris Hager, not Hagar gtr Amir Derakh gtr Matt Thorr b David Alford dr David and Paul are rockin' in Las Vegas and are friends of mine.

@pslover I'd heard that Amir had been in several bands before Rough Cutt, but off the top of my head, I can't think of the names of any of them.

Thats Amir. From past interviews about this appearance, I think he had only been with the band for like a week or so.

@TheGringo300 I have Los Angeles radio 94.7 KMET METAL shop shows from 1984 where it all began that feature Rough Cutt on some of them. E-bay - Search KMET Jim Ladd. I found a box full of tapes that I taped back in the day. Excellent quality. Check it out.

@Christian1Aguayo You must be referring to his Joe Elliott-like shirt from the Pyromania days. NOPE. American, dunno why Paul wore that shirt...

@zenon777 The dude in this video likes and sounds more like Craig Goldie.He doesn't move or play like Amir. Look how he holds the guitar.You can change your appearance but a guitar play won't change how he attacks the guitar.

Who are the guitar players here? I know Craig Goldy of Dio was in this band for a period too. I've searched high and low, but haven't been able to find anything. Both of these guys are a little hard to identify. The guy on the Explorer? The other guy has to be Hagar, right? Rough Cutt has always been his baby, but it doesn't look like him. Doesn't look like Craig either. 😕

@thechucker44 this is not their best vid but the did some really good stuff check out their version of "never gonna die" it is epic

@tonifreakshow I know Craig personally, that's not him. I took a class of his called Rock Strategies @ GIT in '95. Sorry.

@sherriandlee Is Chris kin to Sammy Hagar?

Get a life biatch..stop posting such stupid bullshit
