Vocal Coach Reacts - Slaughter - Fly to the Angels 

I cosign as an 80's kid in America. Too many bands and amazing singers to list.

You’re not wrong. I worked a skating rink back in the day. Music was life. Still is.

Yes👏🏻alla this!👏🏻👏🏻

@@shellohween924 LoL... You know it! 🤘

Just reading this gave me the feels....I miss the 80's *sniff*

I grew up in the 80’s hated rock-was into rap and bass music-now in my forties I hate rap and love all the rock n metal music of the eighties lol

yup me too. Loved 80's music, just saw a concert with the old guys....Reo Speedwagon, Styx, Loverboy.

@@DPRyan-vd5pp Sometimes it takes people a while to come around. I like just about anything that came out of the 80's, or in Slaughter's case, the 90's. I cant say I liked everything that came out of the 90's. Could not and still can not stand alternacrap/grunge with the exception of a few bands. I had friends, who had huge car stereo systems so I heard all the bass and rap music. I didnt really care for much rap with the exception of RUN-DMC and Beastie Boys.

We get SHIT....but l woudnt Trade the 80s and Early 90s for Any Thing.....!!!!!

Slaughter was a 90's band. But yeah, 80's were the best.

Yes and he was so stinking cute

Ha me too, born in 69 myself. We had the coolest cars and the best music that's ever been put out.

@@davidsloan9556 Same here graduated in 87 greet times!!!!

I thought you were gonna say 1975 till 1985 (personally, I'd rather go with 1969-1979)!

Me too……me too!

Back that year up 5 years to 1970 and I agree

Agreed! Speaking of "Glam", I think "The Professor of Rock" did a segment on "Nelson", and interviewed them on their music. It was a really good interview and really made me appreciate them as true musicians, even though they caught so much flack for their music.

NO SHIT!! Miss those days. We had it goin on back then. These young kats today look dull.

IMO, the early 80's to early 90's was the best decade of music in my lifetime.

Some of those bands had very good, technical musicians. I play guitar and it’s not easy to play some of those 80’s guitarists’ music. Very good musicianship.

No doubt about it. My Spotify is a testament to the 80s. I have so many albums and playlists that are all 80s. The best party music ever made.

lets not get carried away now....

I agree,Listen to the Moscow music peace festival version of Cinderella's set."coming home ,nobody's fool,shake me.Amazing.Also the Scorpions set in Moscow is amazing too

I thought the same....Fan of both

💯 What's amazing is he can still hit those notes these days live!!! 🤘🤘

@@raidermaxx2324 Oh, now... let's not be hair-band elitist, where "the only REAL Hard Rock bands" are Metallica, AC/DC and Kiss.

still waiting for her to do david Coverdale's Whitesnake.......... still of The Night.........

Absolutely!

Slaughter was one of my favorite bands to come out of the early 90's. Them and Firehouse. Got to meet Slaughter a couple times. Very nice guys. I took the loss of Tim pretty hard. He was by far the most down to earth rock star I ever met; and I've met quite a few. He stood outside their tour bus for a couple hours one cold, Dallas night after a show. Such a genuinely good guy.

I just saw Slaughter last night. Mark can still belt out those vocals!!!

@@Hallow334 LIGHT MY FUSE! haaa yeah firehouse!

That's because in the 80's you had to actually sing. You were capturing a performance. Now you have auto-tune and all of this technology that fakes the performance. I'm with you. So much excellent stuff came out of the 80's.

Humanity's collective attempts in music peaked with 1980's glam-rock love ballads. Nothing will ever get better. Ever.

Technically, this is from 1990.

@@isaiahmarquez9717 Incorrect. The album this song came from, Stick it to Ya, was released January 23, 1990. Hence, the song was written and recorded in the 80's.

Well technically their debut album wasn't released until 1990 but still a great album, I still have my old cassette of bill and teds bogus journey with slaughter's track shout it out and megadeths go to hell. Loved that soundtrack.

I also saw them on the same tour in Mpls.

Me too. Especially since my grandfather was an Air Force pilot in the day.

Same for me along with Sebastian Bach and Jamie from Warrant.

At least Slaughter has a good run. I feel bad for bands like Firehouse, Gorillaz, and many others who had a good sound and could have had a decent run, but came out in the early 90's. Too late to the game.

@@TheStefan6969 Jani.

@@TheStefan6969 I totally agree.

Another great VVI song that shows off Mark's amazing voice is Love Kills, especially leading into the solo.

I saw VV open for Maiden. I bought their albums after that. Amazing singer , I soon grew tired of VV and was glad to see Slaughter later. This was/ is a great song

The best VVI songs are when he holds back a bit on the solos. You don't have to try to break 5000 strings a second to sound great. Tony Iommi never did that; in fact, he couldn't .

Also the song Love Kills by Vinnie Vincent Invasion from the A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 4 Dream Master. Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum were in that band

@@papaherf7349 VV's ego was just too big for anyone else on stage, but himself.

He is super talented 👏 Same to you and to everyone who 👀 this

Couldn't agree more!! I miss the 80s

ttf

being so young then I didn't realize that this song was for his girlfriend who suddenly passed away. :(

Took me back to high school. I was 14 when this song came out. Reminds me of a very particular girl who used to say this was her favorite song. I wonder whatever happened to her. Probably a grandmother right now.

Seriously. She is gorgeous.

Mark is also a very nice guy in real life...not into himself or conceited. My sister-in-law knows him well

Yep..and a ace singer.

Really !

And that British accent is just as beautiful!

I think maybe his influences are from Cinderella and Tom Kiefer. Good point my friend.

@@michaelpsions He came on the scene just a couple years after Cinderella. He was first in Vinnie Vincent Invasion in 1988. Cinderella's first album came out in 1986. I think they might have similar influences. Tom is so much bluesier than Mark is.

@@Hallow334 I agree Yes. very much so.

isn't he just miming in these kind of video's? His body expressions are not related to the singing that we are hearing...

I loved seeing him in that movie! I had met him the year prior and then when I saw the movie “wait … I met that guy!!!” I never saw Tim but he was a legend. RIP indeed

That's awesome 👍🏻

Damm I didn't know they still tour that would be badass

That's super cool. Give him a hug from me

Didn't he go to jail for drugs or something? Is he out now?

@@fredfredburger5150 tim kelly the guitarist did, but he died in 1998

@@vegasbaby666 Wow, I got that completely wrong didn't I?

Me too

@@NEbluefire That's really quite OK. 😃 I brought this up only to have a light-hearted moment. (It's why I put "LOL" in there). It was so long ago and I was a teenager and it was unpleasant at the time, but now 30+ years later it's a now-funny story I share sometimes when Slaughter comes up. With that said, I could probably find a different way to word things, or at the very least add that I have heard from various people over the years (with you being the latest) that Mark is a very nice person, because my intention is never to give him a bad name.

That's awesome, I didn't know he was doing that. I bought that album when it was released, on cassette lol. It quickly became one my most played albums. His voice is amazing and the songs were great.

Prettiest man I've ever seen

@@nonagrey3422 Then maybe you haven't seen Ville Valo from HIM...? That guy is pretty gorgeous!

@@amygoodson-catlady I wouldn't exactly call Ville, "pretty". He's handsome as fuck but not "pretty" to me lol Hella hot too but not pretty in that prissy sort of way this guy is. This guy is prettier than most girls I know haha

Of course, Slaughter didn’t release their first record until 1990….but the vibe was still alive.

Its incredible how in that live version Mark still pulls off all of the subtlety of the studio version. Its beautiful

Totally agree!!!

Esp on Love Kills and That time of year, that final scream at the end OMFG

Dana found everybody in the 80's...

@@machupikachu1085 pretty darn much. He's even credited with discovering Desmond Child

@@m.vondrake5534 Right on. I hadn't heard that one. Desmond had a record deal out in New York in the mid 1970's. I believe his first successful colab was with KISS in '79. Did Dana introduce him to people out west?

@@machupikachu1085 negative. Desmond was writing songs under contract but he was still struggling until Dana pointed Paul and Gene in his direction. Paul was writing with Holly Knight who was dating Anton Fig at the time. Dana was mostly in L.A. at the time. Dana sent some of Desmond's songs to Gene first but Gene felt the songs were not gritty enough. From what I had read, Paul got Desmond's address from Dana then Paul and Holly just showed up at his door, took him for a cup of coffee followed by a lot more coffee and they wrote a bunch of songs. The record executives at the time would not let Holly get songwriter credit but they made sure she got full pay with proper royalties and they did the same thing with Desmond. Making sure he understood the business side of what he was doing so the labels wouldn't continue to railroad him. Dana kept Desmond busy in the studio when Des got to L.A. Tho they really only wrote songs together while they were writing with KISS members, Desmond and Holly wrote most of the songs you hear in the 80's even tho they didn't always get writers credits because the label or the artist had clauses in their contracts against it. KISS did too but because Gene and Paul had written a song or two for other artists that refused to give them credit, they changed their policy and made sure any collaboration got the credit they deserve. Dana discovered Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Jake E. Lee, Frankie Banali, and a host of others. Dana has mentioned that even tho members of KISS that had left seamed to bicker in the media of the time, they actually spent a lot of time together and in similar circles. Any original member of KISS was always welcome to visit the studios they were recording in. They usually crossed paths at Electric Ladyland in NYC. Believe it or not, the members of Van Halen were also always welcome and they often shared the same dress rehearsal warehouse before going on tours and Desmond was usually at the rehearsal studio with KISS.

@@machupikachu1085 something for you if you're a Vinnie Vincent fan, in the studio Vinnie would surround himself with stacks of amps and just go. Recording the solo's for several songs at once with only a minute or two between the songs. If he wanted a retake, he just held up a finger and started again. The studio would be so loud the AC would shut off. There wasn't enough sound suppression to contain it. Paul Stanley told Dana "that's what you can do when you have KISS money to work with."

And yes he is so handsome 😍🥰.

Badlands needs more attention!!!!

How in the world did you completely skip Skid Row? 😂 love all the bands you listed though

My pick of theirs would be the live performance of Fear No Evil!

@@calicojohncash honestly ANY of the performances from that show. He killed all of them

Never heard of Grim Reeper. Gonna have to check them out! Ever heard of Killer Dwarfs, Stone Fury or Shy England? Definitely worth checking out!

Rik Emmet has got a great set of pipes on him , but I think Gil Moore did the majority of vocals for Triumph !! Correct me if I'm wrong .

@@davidtemple5934 Who sang lead vocals more I honestly don't know. Maybe more so Gil earlier on and Rik later? I want to say the couple times seeing them live (Thunder Seven and Sport of Kings tours) that Rik was lead on more than 1/2 the tracks but, that was 30+ years ago and many many more beers so .... ??? :D

@@pauljacobi340 Saw them on the I think The Allied forces tour in the early 80's in the U.K with all the light bulbs as the stage show , not sure who did the majority of the vocals .

😂it’s trash now

@@johnphillipsjr7238 he had his moment in the sun, and created. You create yt hate from your basement.

Don’t think mark had it. He was a member of it. Was Vinnies band.

@@dylandelarosa9856 ya sorry I didn’t specify correctly. Yes the band was formed by Vincent which was a former guitarist form Kiss. But my point was he was an awesome singer and he was also what made that band and a lot of ppl didn’t know that.

Opened up for KISS at the Allentown Fair Grounds Hot in The Shade Tour music 🎶 to my ears

He has had to have vocal surgery, which has affected his range.

Thanks for the points 👉 👈

👀

As much as I liked that album, Ted Nugent really doesn't need any more exposure.

Yes! High Enough, Come Again, so many good songs.

Yes it sounded better, a lot of it having to do with the recording equipment, dare I say tubes and tape. 😎

Amen!! and Maybe Even Some "Perfect Strangers" - 🎧🎸

I want this song played at my funeral or memorial service after I die. Unfortunately it probably won't happen because very few people would care or even know this song means a lot to me.
