Sea Hags - Half the Way Valley Promo

[superhornet69]

I hate to say this, because I fucking love this band, but their manager at the time (when they got signed to Chrysalis Records at the end of 1987) is on the record having said about the band, "there's only so far you can get with three junkies and one alcoholic." It's just a damn shame such a kick-ass band just couldn't seem to overcome their personal demons. The bassist Chris Schlosshardt died of a heroin overdose in 1991 and that was it...game over for the Sea Hags.

[edwardprzydzial]

one of my ALL time favorite glam rock records of the end of the 80's... too bad they never got farther then the debut.

[gfgranja]

Mike Clink ( who produced Apettite for destruction ), produced their album

[lolatme111]

the............greatest band that never made it god, these guys were amazing

[Cindersbabe]

San Francisco Treat!!!!!!! ;)

[easyryder1969]

yet another great overlooked band from the 80s....cool

[silentnlurking]

shame these guys never released anything else

[Freyja1133]

[baracuda68]

SF Bay Area/Santa Rosa CA

[Freyja1133]

@baracuda68 another Californian metal band that I like...No Love!

[DariusBlue]

I didn't know Ron Yocom was left-handed. That's a nice lefty Les Paul Custom.

[azgeogirl]

I was the only person I knew who liked them. I'm so happy this video is here! :)

[Fvcknikator]

fuck yeahhh this band fucking rox!!!!!

[CenobiteVictim]

I actually prefer most of their other songs from their album over this. This one isn;t very catchy and I've never had stuck in my head or anything even after listening to it a lot. I wish they were able to release more singles before Schlosshardt died :-/

[tehmaninblack]

Sounds like a cross btwn motorhead and Guns-n-Roses

What happened to these guys? They sounded like a shitload of potential

[curdog602]

@tehmaninblack ,

the bass player o.d.'d about a year after this album was released. the band split.

gnr almost hired the drummer,and the guitarist (not the singer) went on to play in steven pearcy's band....

[Gandhiablo]

Other bands were afraid of the Hags

With good reason

They kicked major ass

Life just isn't the same without them.

They used to let me drool on them backstage over beers

I was their most rabid fan

[ludwig26]

FINALLY!! Got this on CD. My fuckin guitar player had it buried in his CD collection. SCORE!!!

[fourwaysunshine]

Thanks for posting this! I had this cassette back in the day. Found the cd online...it still rocks.....

[ROCKDRIGOSORTINO]

IS GREAT BAND

[123isito]

I had their demo tape years ago...I wore it out! Good memories, thanks for posting!

[pabl0100]

Underrated and sadly missed, saw them live in 1989 supported by D.A.D in Leeds. One great album and then sadly no more.

Up there with The Throbs for bands that should have had more exposure

[MetalMoo69]

Wow!

[MrMattyHaze]

RAWK n F'n RULE!!

love this shit.... the real deal!

[edwardprzydzial]

too bad this band only had one great record...

[Doobie1975]

I remember seeing this on VH1 Classic's Metal Mania back in 2003-04, God I miss the way Metal Mania used to be

[backwardk]

What a douche....2003-04...big fucking deal....bring back Headbangers Ball the way it was in the 80's.

[Doobie1975]

I totally agree, I miss the old Headbanger's Ball from the 1980s

[garciare1]

Those were the days HBB was a must. loved watching Ricki getting good-naturedly, goofed by every band that showed up. HBB takes its self way too damn serious these days and for no good reason.

[bzmommy10]

how is it now? just wondering cuz i don't have vh1 classic anymore and used to watch it all the ti me!!!

[Doobie1975]

I haven't watched it in years, I don't have VH1 Classic anymore either, I didn't like it as much in 2005-06 as I did in 2003-04

[Aumikeequals]

Wow I have not heard that song in a very long time..Amazing

[Mrpaulee]

They supported Georgia satelites also in UK, mid 80's

[wastingmydays]

Sea Hags were way cool, man. Saw at Leeds Irish centre - what a gig.

[CrueLoaf]

more dangerous than guns n roses!!

loves their album

[RikkiX69]

One of my fave bands of ALL time. I heard of them from Ron Quintana (KUSF) and then heard their Think About it cover. Loved it. Then they came to LA where I was hanging one summer and they ROCKED!!!! "One lazy mother from the groovy 70's is the reason we are here tonight"!!!!!

I still Rock their tunes!!!! Chris R.I.P.

[Cindersbabe]

Frankie is such a cutie!

[raideraaron13]

These guys were around before faster pussyfaggots and were a way better band.

[dferg1969]

great album!!

[discosatan71]

met them years ago after seeing them play in uk great underated band i loved these guys, if any band members read this reform! come back to england, u all signed my beermat i will get u a beer

[Skid20055]

not possible.. 3 of them died, (or was it 2)

[HGF69]

I think it was just one. Ron is certainly still alive.

[wasp4eva1]

Chris Schlosshardt (not sure about spelling), bass player, od'd on smack.Drummer briefly looked like replacing Adler in GnR.Lead guitarist would up with Stephen Pearcy 1st in Arcade then in Pearcy's solo band.Singer Ron is still alive and I think he's still somewhat active in music circles.

[Hippiepad]

I saw these guys in Phoenix way back in the day and ended up hanging out with them at their hotel all night. They are all really nice guys. I think we ended up playing poker or checkers or something. Hmmm, my memory is a little fuzzy. No hanky panky, though. They were true gentlemen.

[XxAngelreaper93xX]

Dude, these guys had Vivian Campbell! But lets face it, he was better with Dio anyway, am I right lol?

[TwainHarteFam]

I love these guys!, I used to see them back in the day in San Francisco. Way ahead of their time.

[FAUSTIANDAWN]

Where are they from? not PA right? Im in Philly.

[peterpringle01]

San Franscisco I think

[Fi10jew]

San Francisco Bay Area fer sure. I saw them opening for Flipper in Long Beach in 1986 or 7 and playing with themselves at The Cave in Los Angeles a week or so later. Kicked ass. Too bad they couldn't control their drugs and alcohol.

[guitarsncarz]

my dad knew all these guys!

[jfbluges]

I saw these guys at Swizzle's night club in York, PA. This and "Doghouse" were the only good songs they had and they knocked them out right away. They were also piss drunk. It was a real lousy-ass show.

[corz000]

Got this song on Ltd. Edition 7" single from the vinyl market last week haha. comes with a free patch aswell, that went on my cutoff straight away haha. awesome tune

[Cindersbabe]

ummmmmmm Frankie!

[7judas77]

great song!

[LVB1770]

HOLY CRAP! I grew up with Frank Wilsey the Guitarist on the left. We use to Jam in 6th grade circa 1979. He use to bring his guitar to school and rock out like a bad ass fucker! He was known as Joe Perry Jr! I remember a band he played in called Head On. He still looks the same after all these years! What's up Frank?

[azrael666ethereal]

Fucking amazing band, shame they are gone... R.I.P. Great video!!!

[CHAWCHY]

does anyone have doghouse

[schenker4]

We opened for them in San Jose back in the mid 80,s great band. I can't remember which guitar player it was but one of em broke a string before they went on and didn't have another one and ask me for the one off my guitar. I remember thinking at the time how odd it was for a signed band to not have extra strings.

[BMTBLS]

Give up the string!!!!!Sea Hags rock~!!!

[tulikokko]

Still one of my alltime favourite albums :)

[perceval030991]

they all died of overdose one after another

[DogDamour]

that's not true, only the bass player died

[perceval030991]

the guitar player died too

[SinghaSRO]

guitar player lives on... he's by bro

[edwardprzydzial]

baddest band to EVER come out of seattle, PERIOD!!! this band has one album the but and it is one of the best albums EVER of this genre. true bad boys. rock on.

and heroin killed bass dude. sad.

[edwardprzydzial]

sorry meant san francisco...

[rauricorum]

Chris. We never forget you and your great music. Grrrreat!!!

Best regards.Your cousin Elmar from germany.

[Doobie1975]

Wouldn't it been nice if these guys would've made it huge instead of Nirvana?

[scarymonster2010]

Great album. I was a big fan in the 80's, never seen them live though.

[budz73]

The Seahags could never break from Faster Pussycats shadow therefore they never got the proper exposer. Sad, they were a good band.

[chillydawgs]

Bought this bands 'cassette' back in the late 80's...loved it, then seen them at the old Hammerjacks in Baltimore. Tossed the tape after that. They were nothing but a bunch of crack heads.

[dennisandvicki]

Don't want to agree with you but I do. Saw them at Perkins in L.A. and the singer was tweaked. He threw something at a heckler and people didn't seem to like them. Shame, the LP was brilliant.

[dokkcrue71]

100% Pure Rock !!!

[rustycherry]

Awsome band, i was lucky enough to see them play live in the U.K. at Reading in nothing bigger than a village hall quite a few years ago. \nn/

[kissfactory]

Yeah, total rock n roll. I saw them at The Riverside in Newcastle on what I think was their one and only tour on the UK. They were a really drug fucked band though and I wasn't surprised at all when heroin killed guitarist.

[ManaTheIceQueen]

It was the bass player not the guitarist.

[lexamu]

kicks ass.ur true rocker tommy.

[Slothth]

this song is one of the best to come out of this era of music! they ended it way too soon, they would have been huge-nice to see others that remember them.

[7judas77]

I caught this video by accident back in the day and could never understand why they didn't get more play.

[BMTBLS]

Old timer here.. Samck is not your friend!! SEAHAGS ROCKED!!

[cramfan]

Thanks!!! Back in 1989 I won a contest to and got a free trip to SF to "Hang with the Sea Hags." They were so sweet.

[snakecoors]

Ron... you guys rocked in SF.... great to see ya on stage again !!!! wish i could be in LA... ~snake~

[Doobie1975]

I love the cars they show in the background and the video kicks ass!

[304MTodd63]

I need to get a vest and puffy shirt.

[Chuckjagermeister]

Makes me want some tighter jeans. I don't want kids anyway.

[dickravis]

i saw em many times back in the day.

...sad what happened.

[jaspouille]

too rare band excellent track

[krcavanagh]

When SF actually had a music scene. Man they were good.

[danleehagar]

Great song!

Real good album.

Thanks for posting.

[pantrbera10]

YES!

[YouCanCallMeJoe]

These guys ROCKED!

[MissCrysti]

God, I'm reliving my youth in Hollywood! Great vids you have!
