The phrase was coined by French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

Does this end in guillotines and a little fat corporal? Cause there are a lot of similarities.

Wow. Really?? They get lumped in with the hair bands but they were really just a straight up blues rock band.
I don't get that deep in this music genre but alot of it I like to hear.
Here is my influence:


I watched these guys live in Portland, OR in 73. Loved the sound.
Their stage presence was something I ignored.

Pretty good song. If you mute the sound, they were obviously being marketed as a hair metal band with the hair, the pyrotechnics, the stage antics, etc. If you could just listen to the music, they sound a lot more like AC/DC than a hair metal band - no shredding, cleaner guitar tones, nice syncopated rhythm, etc. Seems like their agent/marketing team/record label may have missed the boat by trying to jump on the hair metal bandwagon when, based on this song at least, they clearly did not belong.

They were "found" by Bon Jovi in the mid-late 80's. The first album was even worse with the glam look. Lol.
