I remember this album...it was one of the greats of the era. These guys should have been bigger. Eh...that was the case with lots of bands though. These guys, Kix, Circus of Power, Junkyard, Badlands...all great bands. Instead we were assaulted by Bon Jovi, Poison, etc.
I saw the show on Dec. 16th. It was great! Had a bit of trouble getting back home afterwards with so many flights cancelled due to the snow. But I was still lucky, only 4 hours late and my luggage just 1 day delayed. Others got stuck there for days.
So who wants to see Spread Eagle in Europe? They are alive, kicking and really great. If you want to see them here, LIKE this comment for the start. If there's some of us, I'l set up some Request Page on Facebook or so.
SPREAD EAGLE IS BACK STRONGER THAN EVER JUST SAW THERE FIRST SHOW LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS AWESOME THEY SOUNDED JUST LIKE THERE RECORDS THEY WILL BE PLAYING THE LOCAL 269 AT 269 EAST HOUSTON ST. NYC THIS THURS DEC 23 AT 10PM YOU DONT WANT TO MISS THIS SHOW
My buddy was a DJ for WJUL in Lowell Ma. and when I went into the station with him he showed me these guy's and I liked them rite off the bat....Thanks Muggelston LOL
I was a young kid back in Northern Va. These guys came to play at "The Bayou" under this bridge in G'town and the opening band filled the bar . After they stopped, 75% of the folks left before SE even came on. They played and rocked the house and when they finished there set, I was up front and asked Ray if he would sing this song. At the end of there set, with most folks gone, 3 of them grabbed a chair and the band played it for me with acoustic guitars. I will remember forever. It was Great.
This song brings me back ..... really a treasure ... i met them in Tampa and they were super cool .. They were meant for bigger things ... thankx for the memories.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Even if the lead singer does sound like Sam Kineson when he screams. See this face? Take a good look and remember it, because this will be your face when you get married. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
used to laugh at these guys when scratch like a cat would come on headbangers ball. then i was given this cd. big mistake. every song from beginning to end rocks. one of my fave all time power ballads right here.
It's amazing, that as many 80's band that I do know and love, there seems to be that many more that I never had the pleasure to hear.. THANK YOU, YOUTUBE! These guys are awesome, thank you for the post!
I will never forgive MCA for not promoting this band when they had a chance to be superstars. This was the biggest drop in the hat any label ever missed out on.
Through THESE eyes, this song has all of the key components of a great metal tune. This is my favorite genre and am thrilled to death to hear this...I can listen to this over and over..thanks for sharing!
It Pleases me to the Bone that there are others out there that know My buddy Ray & Appreciate his music. I grew up with him in NY & Janet listening to this and Could not believe he and she never got picked up!!! I love this Song. Listen to Pleasure Bombs if you like this too. Less intense but 80's. Sorry Ray, I love Janet too. A~
Ray West is a great guy. I used to hang out with him at the Pit Stop in the city in the early 90's. Never heard his band play, just knew him as a friend.
This song holds great memories for me on 2 counts. In Boston there was a club called The Channel. I took Ray's picture up on stage. He stopped what he was doing and just smiled at me as if to say..what ya doin'? It was so funny. He really is a sweet guy. The whole band was cool. #2...when a bunch of us were at another club called Axis this song came on. We started singing it. It was so much fun. This song is loved by the people that know it. I still love it! thanks for sharing LadyTigersoul.
I was never really big on some of the hair metal growing up in the 80's, but these guys had some real talent in the genre. Less glam and more grit. I had always hoped they would become bigger than they did.

wow this brings memories i had the vinyl,for me it describes the pain I felt when my girlfriend broke up with me and the depression that followed... thanks for this post great song grat record...
What? Whats that?? I cant hear you little bitch you are choking on too much dick I cant understand what you are saying!
Sorry man, you are gonna have to fuck off now, I dont have time for you shit anymore - this has gone waaay past a joke. You are just offensive and rude.
I thought we could be mates but obviously not. You shud try not drinking so much cum, i think its messing with your head or something.
That's OK- I suppose it may not have been you. It's just that I am always interested when somebody says they knew a performer or had personal contact with them somehow. It's the stuff they write books about, ya know? I love hearing what people have to say about these 80s bands I grew up loving.
I haven't heard this song since I was in college in 1990!!!! I remember listening to this everyday on the rock station. Thanks for posting this song ! Its definitely one thats hard to find.
i cant believe i found this song.ty lady.i could'nt find it anywhere.they used to play it on 98 rock tampa,rockin the big ole gnarly bay! this song means alot to me!!youve got great taste in music!! do you remember a song with the lyrics {put a red rose on my,put a red rose on my grave!!} thats all i remember.or how about mamma tequila? thanx and keep metal alive!! \m/
Absolutly beautiful song, hits the spot everytime i hear it but ever since hearing this song and switchblade n scratch like a cat so many, MANY years ago i still have not been able to find the album.
In a nutshell, thank you so much for putting this on.
Ebay! They are on there all the time. The singer (Ray West) is still rocking. Check his stuff on myspace. He just emailed me 2 days ago and has some solo stuff he is mastering finally. He also has a band called Hostel Inc.
