Spread Eagle - Switchblade Serenade

[death3213]

does anyone know why this video version sounds different to the album version?, i recon its better with the vid!,

is it cause they re-released it?

[death3213]

FUCK YEAH!

[cake861]

stands the test of time

[curtisgtrdaddy]

sort of a skidrow/guns n roses sound... too bad there was already the aforementioned bands who did make real money...

[JennaJoker]

Love the look of back then

[evanjo14]

Saw these guys a couple of time at the Rocker Room in New Rochelle, NY back in the day. They kicked major ass! Still do.

[fredhansbro]

i dont give a fuck what anyone has to say. They were for mother-fucking real. they should have been huge. I dug them big in Iraq 1990. Still digging them 2009.

[fuckingsob]

Damn straight and they would have been huge if it weren't for MCA dropping the ball on promotion. This was a record label slaughter of the superstar band that never was. They broke up a few years after the second cd and they should have had 10 more cd's behind that one, but MCA FAUKED THEM and robbed the world of one of the hair bands that was to compete with the new grunge sound of the early 90's.

[SpandexRoxx]

awesome tune dude !!! .

[darkforest1982]

hard n heavy video early 90s fucking yes

[Sortti71]

I missed, creetings from finland!!!

[Sortti71]

This is sooo good...those fuckers who dont understand good music...FUCK YOU!!!!

[RockEruption]

Fukk Universal Music! They dropped Spread Eagle during grunge years while this band was making them money. And they have the gall to still list this awesome band as part of their video list.

[mhauer21]

that's because they own the video, IDIOT.

[RockEruption]

It would be more honorable to not have the video as part of their roster after they dropped the band. IDIOT.

[mhauer21]

It's a record label. They're a business. If you haven't figured out that business revolves around money rather than honor I will assume you rode the retard bus here. IDIOT.

[RockEruption]

You're not getting my point IDIOT, Universal dropped the band while the band was making them money. That's business.. Playing a video from a band they dropped, meaning the CD's are out of print does not make Universal any money.

[mhauer21]

You're not getting my point. They own the rights to the fucking video, so they can do whatever the hell they want with it. And if someone see's the video and buys the album from the back catalogue, it would make them money. This means Universal still makes all (but the royalty) of the money from any copies of this record sold. Therefore, Universal put it on YouTube, and could still make a profit from doing so. Thanks for attending class today, you stupid douchebag. oh, and... IDIOT!

[RockEruption]

Now you're digging yourself into a hole. Sure Universal can do what they want with the video but dropped the band and NOBODY could buy a Spread Eagle CD because it was unavailable to order! That means NO MONEY could be made from Spread Eagle CD sales by posting a video by a band that they dropped because there WAS NO BACK CATALOG. Period. With that being said a small label picked them up -BUT the fact remains Universal posted this video before the CD was reissued so you're still wrong IDIOT.

[mhauer21]

Sorry. I guess I have better things to do than research relatively unknown bands from the '80's on the internet. I was simply making assumptions based on how most record labels work.

[tmac0794]

the guitarest is my cousin

[clipdan]

good times....

[showmedamoney]

great band, thanks for posting... didn't even know they made a video of this... love to find "through these eyes" too...

[kneethesnout]

My second cousin's father is that brick wall, and I'm related to that fence, but I'm not certain of the link ...

[BryanUK666]

Oh thats an awful awful joke! PMSL!

[Swf36d]

From what I understand, this was about the volatile relationship Ray and his girlfriend at the time had.

[nikenmatthias]

Damn, miss those times. Like that version alot. Sounds somehow harder than the abum version. Was it ever released on Record or CD ?

[sb1127]

I like the arangement on the CD better. The chorus doesn't come in untill after the second verse. This has a more live feel though. Great band that didn't get the regognition they deserved.

[Wacke666]

I prefer this version of the other. This just ... sounds a little better somehow.

[superocklevel]

Great time great era thx umg 4 postin it!!!!

[DBerry80]

That song ROCKS!

[DVDeh]

Very cool guitar solo. These guys should have received more recognition.

[miamifingerboards101]

Tommi Gallo the drummer is my grandfather

[graciegordy123]

your grandfather is a f#$%#$ pimp

[ragingmouse]

your grandfather? Oh holy hoppin hell do I feel old ..

[anthacdc]

are you joking

[GlamourousDarkness]

This pisses me off. I love this version but the version on the CD is mixed different!

[hollandrocksls]

this band was put together by the label

[metalamerica01]

i have just posted a vdo on my page with new songs from these guy's. they are now 'apw'

[headkickerIII]

spread kickes ass, i love back on the bitch and rythm machine, they play pretty heavy sleaze metal, which of course kicks ass

[SkidRowChild22]

where can i download spread eagles's album? this band is fuckin' awesome!!

[firstsquid]

kinda hard to find to download, but it's finally been reissued, so you can pick it up pretty cheap on amazon now. I think I saw used copies for around 10 bucks, totally worth it

[vetteman03]

Pirate Bay.

[SkidRowChild22]

thanks man!

[shep79]

Just stumbled on these guys yesterday. I thought I knew every "good" 80's (or 80s holdover in this case....kinda like the first Lynch Mob album) band in the books. 

I was wrong.

This tune is fuckin' sweet.

[tokeNRez]

this song is awesome but the lead singer looks like a girl lmao....like when him and his girlfriend fight in this video i cant figure out whos the guy lol

[garypl09]

Not a lot of peple know...these guys where the real dael, they fought, they drank more booze than motley, and the singer got aressted 4 times for beating his girl...I saw them in 91...those guys were so insane, it was almost scary, there was 4 aressts that night, and 2 of them were the bass and guitar player...the song switchblade by the way is about rape...those guys were scary...great hard slezze metal at its best...we need spread e back to scare the world again.

[mykissesrocku]

Switchblade Seranade is not about rape. It is about a relationship that goes bad. I personally know Ray West. I used to hang out with him and our friends in NY back in 1992 and have talked to him recently.

[radschneider]

That's awesome! I heard rumors that they were back together again? Are you able to confirm this? Also...tell Ray that there are two huge fans in Michigan (Myself and my guitar instructor) that can't wait to hear new material!

[mykissesrocku]

I am not sure. Ray is back in Brooklyn working on something. I will try to get info for you if I talk to him in the near future.

[radschneider]

Wow! That would be great. Thanks!

[mykissesrocku]

Ray has a new band called All Points West (APW). You can look them up on YouTube. :)

[radschneider]

Hey thanks a lot. I appreciate you getting back with me.

[bell677]

what happened to thse guys

[sherrilynne1974]

talk about your awesome frontman; Sebastian Bach! I've seen him in concert twice, His vocals are so out there! The new skid row who?

[Railster30]

[princesssunaaa]

the lead singer is my mom's fiancees brother

[robertwienerrocks]

the bassist is my gardner's cousin's third uncle on his mother's side. Once removed. It's like we're related!

[shep79]

Hehehe!

[sherrilynne1974]

I remember I had to special order this cd when it came out, This is another one of those bands that got lost the great metal clone in the early 90's. There were too many bands that were the same that the "really good" ones got thrown into the mix of them. Due to that this band didn't get the success that they deserved! I am so sick of most of today's music..What happened to MTV???

[Acekicken]

Don't know what the rest of the band is up to but,Rob Deluca(Bass) is part of the Sebastian Bach Band these days. He has gone round the world with em

[dokkcrue71]

Awesome Album !!! One of the best albums at that time. Didn't get enough credit on this planet we call EARTH. 2 Thumbs Up !!!

[Gmoreno89]

TOTALLY FUCKING AGREE !!!!

[johnnythunders6969]

same!!! i love it i listen to it front to back but hardly anybody knows about them!

[SpectorRay1]

This was such a fucking underrated band!

[TIMMA177]

I love that acoustic intro

[SEAHAGS76]

Your Uncle is God on Guitar, please someone post there 2nd Album Open To The Public.

[kingofmercy]

[MacWoodcann44]

[kungfuloser]

One of my favorite cds from the 80'S !!!

[MICKEYISLOWD]

GOOOOOOOOOD

[Buecherwurm74]

Endlich habe ich das Lied wiedergefunden. Herzlichen Dank! Einfach klasse.

[DEBWILDE1]

It's been since late 80's-I was fortunate to have spent some time after hours, (pool & Drinks) with the band (The Jar) Phoenix. It was like an explosion hit Phx, & they were gone, they are truely missed!!!! Thanks for the blast from my pasttttt!!!!

[mrginche]

Ray West Is The Man! Cool Dude, Amazing Vocals!!

[d0se1]

Awsome i've been looking for this vid for years +1

[MetalRiver1]

What a band ! These guys should have made it big time. There were so many bands at that time that missed the boat - Everymothers Nightmare, Tora Tora, Love Hate, Vain. Just been listeneing to Trouble Tribe - does anybody remeber them ?

[kalvander]

i know your reply is a couple months old but yes i remember them! great song was Here

Comes Trouble! kick ass

[MICKEYISLOWD]

this is rock n roll perfection the song is amazing the video is perfect the girl is stunner it dont get better than spread eagle hope u agree

[MICKEYISLOWD]

because of better work ethic my dear

[Swanhearted]

why are all guys from the 80's amazing?

[MICKEYISLOWD]

what a blast i watched thi vid on power hour donkeys ago i was blown away at the amazing guitar sound and that solo made me weep just accidently come across it again same emotions are they still going i want the Lp now

[razorsharp309]

an other uderated band.that should have sold amillion or more.

[TruthUnderFire]

Some great bands came out of the eighties, this was one of them.

They did a lot of Jersey gigs.

[MastaKief]

I just heard this song on the radio today and as soon as I heard it, I just HAD to get it :P. I'm surprised that I haven't heard of this band before....I'm looking forward to listening to their other songs :P

[Domwhat]

fucking best rock band ever, serious.

[gcord21]

I had the original tape but I lost it. Bought the CD on amazon, also bought Sweet FA, remember them?

[Soldano88]

kick ass song! long live 80's metal!

[AL2000FLroxx]

I HAVE A MINT CASSETE NA NA NA NANANA

[jasonman1971]

A TRUE GUTTER OPERA!

[shep79]

Nice!

[hvymtl63]

I completely agree with the other post, MCA screwed this band in favor of the flavor of the month. To the others, eat your heart out, I own the original LP and I am listening to it as I type.

[watersigns01]

I have it too, it's amazing!

[randomglen]

I WANT THAT LP!!! SPREAD EAGLE IN ANALOG!! i have the CD but the digital transfer they did suck balls .. needs remastered completely.. the audio on this video is better than the CD and paid alot for the CD

[VHistheshiz]

damn...you know anywhere i could get the LP?

[randomglen]

this band RULZ!!! MCA fucked them ...total shame.. they almost as good as GNR

[watersigns01]

Skid Row got fucked by their record label as well, it IS a shame, all these great bands & not a penny to show for

[FOKKER666]

Damn!! What an awesome band... can't believe I've only just heard them... the album hunt begins:)

[VHistheshiz]

I so want Paul DiBartolo's guitar

[aloecharlotte]

I bought the album on the strength of this track. It was a good purchase!

[AilisHatake]

Shotgun Messiah's Second Coming...F*&KING phenominal! Violent New Breed was good too.. but...Second COming is hard to beat. You know Tim's with Manson?

[odinroxx]

Yeah SHotgun are my fave band!!

My fave album is their self titled album.

Have you heard their album when they wer Kingpin? Its caled Welcome To Bop City. It think its the same songs as the first Shotgun album but remixed i think.

[mrlee192]

theres alot of sleaze bands that came from the early 90s that didnt get anywhere that produced albums in my opinion that should of been classics. like Shotgun Messiah for example. This (spread eagle) is just another album im gonna have to try and find.

[berkleesucks]

I used to see the band with their old singer up in Boston, they were called BANG. One night coming home from a bar in Kenmore square I caught a ride with a chick in a white Camaro and Paul Dibartolo. VERY cool memory.

[blunt1]

Not as good as the album version but still brilliant. Is there a category tech-glam, course these guys were it. Amazing melodic guitar player and well such a great band.

[MoCatt]

WAAAAY under appreciated. Love this band. They deserved much more attention than they got.

[cyborg1970]

Awesome band - They should have been much bigger in their day !!!

[ddulfun]

these guys effen rock and I was lucky to see them in concert!! and I still love their music today

[stazym69]

These guys should have been much bigger than they were.....If they came out just a few years earlier they would have been......Awesome vocals....Awesome guitarist.

[1234rbolton]

Is this the original video? where did you find this? I like this version.

[wbreese]

i saw them in raleigh n.c opening for vain on this tour! great gtr player

[bifftv1975]

[DeviantAngels]

[animalrocks67]

[Navarejhi]

I downloaded it from LimeWire

[SleazeRockz]

I`m in love with this band! Thanks to ratter52for sharing,you rock and Spread Eagle rocks! :)

[BoEmery]

Yes, thank you!!! I first heard this song on the radio about 20+ years ago (so long ago in fact, that the only copy I had was on CASSETTE!!) But thanks to the Internet I found it, and now I'm seeing the video. So thanks ratter52! 

This entire song blows me away! The guitar player is very mature, and his style in the sole reminds me of the passion that I always found in Randy Rhoads playing. The singer has a really good voice too, sort of Tesla/Tora Tora like. Anyway, thanks! ROCK ON!

This mix is different from the album version, right?

[bigcountry44]

I do believe so

[stevieray535]

very different

[Pigeonater]

Oh my god, I'm 17 all over again..Man, I loved this band!!!! xx

[Brotherman7]

Rock existed before you were born, and it will be here after you are gone, don't ever, ever claim it, because it is rock.

Ice Sickle 2008; Feel it.

[editatrix]

not one bit of the lower east side looks the same...the old wah wah hut in the opening sequence is now niagra...and definitely nothing on avenues b or c is anything like that...not an open space to be had!!!

[editatrix]

hey rob's old roommate...duh...he plays bass for sebastian bach now...catch him on tour with him!!!

[badbyron722]

Man I loved this song back in the early 90's. It still kicks ass.

[juanymiami]

Not Bad for a berklee grad...where is Rob Deluca now...your old roommate wants to know.

[editatrix]

rob deluca plays bass for sebastian bach now...catch him on tour with him next time he tours!!!

[shep79]

Cool.

[boozemasterdoc]

these guys were cool when I saw them live in 89 at the Troubadour

[leatherstockings]

Great guitar-player and kick ass rebellious anthem!

[razorsharp309]

high energy love it .they kick ass.ur true rocker tommy.

[Acekicken]

Great band Great music,These days

Rob Deluca (Bass) id playing for Sebastian Bach's solo band.....

[blayzed87]

thats kinda funny, cause this band does kinda sound like skid row

[Acekicken]

Yeah The only time I ever saw Spread Eagle

was opening For Skid Row,(*_*) It was a coool

Club show,96 or 96 I think ,Damn that was a long time ago.Altho Sebastian's ne Music is by far Heavier than both SR & SE

[philosofranl]

now this is awesome - I never thought I would see this vid, ... ;o) Great Band indeed but aside from switchblade serenade and devil's road (from the open to the public album) there are not really any musical gems. maybe the were a bit too stereotype. in the 80s bands like spread eagle were legion.

[lovesfoiegras]

I still LOVE this song, they rocked.

[dirkthedaring707]

One of THE most underrated bands in history!!

[rowanfootball70]

way under-rated band. great song!

[h07w33ls]

awesome !!!
