I heard this song for the first time during a rock night in pub in Muswell Hill, London. I was blown away by it so tracking the album down became my mission. The album is so so good. Love this band.
when Butch and Jayce were in the Marvelous 3, I saw them open for Collective Soul. Butch flipped me the bird after about the 10th time of me yelling "Southgang rules!" it was great!
I Freakin" Love Jesse Hart & Southgang. Another Great Underrated Band Of The 80s & Early 90s. I Do Love My Southern Boys. & Yes I'm Representing - Cause I Live In The South Too. Peace
Wish they would make an appearance. Love all their music. Vocals are superior to anything going today as well as the guitars, Hell the whole band is better than anything going right now. Drove down many a highway listening to Southgang. Funny how i ended up living in Georgia.
Butch Walker sure has come a long way from his days in this band. I would've never guessed what a good songwriter he was until he broke away from Southgang and formed The Marvelous 3 and his solo records after that.
I remember meeting them when I headed security in SC and they were "Floyds Funk Revival". We had to actually reinforce the stage to accomodate their show. The remaded themselves into just "The Floyds". When their singer became pregnant they became most successfully as Marvelous 3. I felt at that point they the best trio next to Rush but somehow underrated. Even inviting me backstage to see theme after they "became big". Haven't seen Butch and the boys in years. I miss you guys.
I agree. 1989 was an amazing if not one of the best years in hard rock and heavy metal music, tons and tons of great albums were released that year. This album was released in 1991 however. :)
And your opinion is a zilch a zero. Why post. You obviously love this fucking video like it's your birthday. You're just to fucking macho, read as insecure, to admit you like it. But alas, you already admitted it without even saying it. I have hear dmany better band yes, but there are a few cool songs on this record. Mostly the haunting ballads. Hey man you want something fucking heavy that all these morons never caught onto.. get yourself a copy of Subhuman Race by Skid Row. That record is amazing! Skid row BEFORE johnny sukcinger is amazing! They were heavy as fuck. Great sound, great lyrics, badasses. Well except for Rachel bolan the friend betrayer/band destroyer. I hate that kid's guts...
SOUTHGANG,LOUDNESS,DOKKEN,STRYPER...the list can just go on & on! All the old 80's rock music. This is the main reason way i like to DJ,when i get the chance that is! I also collect CD's (200+) 1980's rock alone...M.I.P.!!! LONG HAIR,WILD PARTIES,GREAT FRIENDS,GREAT MEMORIES...& REAL ROCK MUSIC TO KICK BACK TO AND ENJOY!
Thank you for the memories. I remember sitting in my bed and listening to this tape, crying because Southgang was playing in my city and I couldn't see them. Wow.
Very nice see and hear too your metal-melodic band! Dear metal brothers! In band Southgang! Class melodic composer + play,and sing!!! Class!! Thank-you very much for the music!! Good luck in life in music,in studios on concerts!!
Butch (Brad) came home to play for us in Cartersville, Ga at the Grand Theater, which he did not have to do. He's always been an awesome dude from the time I met him in high school. Give him props 🙌
Southgang's lack of true success in the music business was always a disappointment to me. I really talked these guys up back then. I turned a lot of people on to their music, and love it as much now as I did then. Rock On!
I have this album on CD. Ain’t that a shame that Southgang is not on Apple Music. However one of the members of the band is though. I really hope Southgang gets put on there, would love to see that.
Thanks for a fantastic blast from the golden era of metal. Thanks also for introducing me to a "new" band (despite being 20+ years old!). Great track and I love they tried something new in the video with the backing singers but holy hell does he sound just like Vince Neil. If I heard this on the radio I'd swear it was the Crue.
Hey I'm from Cartersville GA and I went to school with Butch's AKA Brad's sister Dana (Cass High).. hehe time flies... I learned from Chris Fowler as well.. but now I live in Macon GA..and soon I hope to come back to Cartersville r Rome to jam in a bar if they have any.. love the sound of this song and I let all my buds local listen and brag... keep on rocking guys ya'll need to get back together....
Best - great song!!! Very nice -very talants -metal-rock n roll brothers!!! WoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOw!!!! And sing and play and video-clip too!!! Yeaahh Rock n roll!!! Good luck in prof-musicaln art!!! Thank-you for the music!!
I just heard it for the first time, and I know it's gonna be my favorite song now It's insane, This song, everything in it and every single bit of it is mindblowingly impressive, fits so right IT OUGHT TO GET WAY MORE VIEWS
Wild! I grew up with some of these guys back in high school in another lifetime. A few of the guys were in a band called 'Oasis' and if memory serves correctly 'bite the bullet'. They would practiced in a old storefront along Shorter Ave. in Rome, Ga then. Damn time sure flies. Didn't know that 'Butch' (hehe) had moved on to many other accomplishments. Good job Butch! If you guys actually see this you might know who the hell I am. LOL Take care guys!
They were pretty good! Got here after reading Butch Walker's (lead guitarist) book-"Drinking With Strangers"Also check out Marvelous 3.He is a great musician and producer still! Hell,Butch-this isn't bad at all-it was what it was and it sounded great!
Thes guys were all so very sweet. I do have fond memories of Tin Masa and thr Rainbow!! YOu guys loved the rounds of shots.. LOL My 17 yr old son loves the music!! He plays the drums and wants to bring back this style.. ALWAYS LOVED YOU GUYS.. KATIA
Classic ! wow Butch Walker had some hair back in those days (he was the dark headed guitarist) ! Just seen him on "Daryl's House" on Palladia ! He is really talented and was very humbled in the presence of the great Hall ! He looks good for 45 years old .
too bad these guys were discovered too late. they were one of the best hairbands to ever hit the radio , just as big hair and high pitches were replaced by flannel and greasy hair
This video won the Headbanger's Ball "Ballbuster" for either 10 or 15 consecutive weeks back in the summer of 1991...so many times that it had to be retired so two new videos could be given a shot. This was at a time just barely pre-Nirvana when Headbanger's Ball was leaning towards Alice In Chains, Queensryche, and more industrial/heavy metal bands and away from the melodic stuff. Sorry if the Ballbuster thing was mentioned before. I thought Marvelous 3 were amazing, too.
THANK YOU!! I could NOT remember the name of that popularity contest between videos, but you are correct!! This video beat Tyketto "Forever Young" and then went undefeated for months. I bought this album because of those Ball Buster contests. I also bought a few albums of the songs that challenged this video and lost.
My first love broke up with me at the time this video was out. (Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when MTV was good. Um...long time ago. Did I mention its been a while?) She was my tainted angel. Nothing like 14 year old love, huh? RU-vid is soooooo wonderful!
I remember seeing these bands in METAL EDGE magazine lol along with Slamming Gladys, Tyketto etc I never heard their music til now 12/26/2021. I am 46 now but even as a kid I saw there pictures and already wasn’t into it and their names. It’s so cheesy omg lmao I’m glad I never bought their albums
LOL... I used to know Jayce Fincher when he used to scoop ice cream out at the Hollywood Blvd. Hagen Daz. Him, Mike Rampley, Tony Jones... LOL... memories.
I knew the name of Southgang first time in cd cover of Wildboyz . thank Wildboyz for let me to know other great band. I LOVE both. I love american hairband.
