Angel sings Ain't Gonna Eat My Heart Anymore

[vintagezigg]

I always loved the Rascals' version, and like this one too especially the subtle part where he sings "I love you, I love you, I really do girl etc... Choose ! Is it him or me ", part. That was as good as the Rascals. It's funny , I got fooled in the beginning of the video I thought the keyboard player was a GoGo Dancer.

[fatpizzaman]

This is a brilliant song! It was a big hit in Australia in the mid 1990's when it was covered by Divinyls. Pity that Angel weren't recognised as a great glam rock band like KISS, Sweet and The New York Dolls were.

[gershwinriff]

Also, I thought that Angel appearing in the movie Foxes (Cherie Currie!) was pretty cool as well.

[wetcavelife]

Angel were a badass band. Ihave a best of CD. Great songs! Back then I thought Kiss was better, but in hindsight, I see Angel kicking their ass.

Thanks for posting the video.

[pepper123]

Angel rocked the Long Beach Arena in May of '78 and I was 3rd row. Their illusion intro was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.

[sevenoverthree]

His hair's so shiny and it's done real nice- 'til I *squirm* with ecstasy!

[johnwalterm]

Pure pop bubble gum. I love it.

[skidz4500]

When do they spit blood and breath fire?

[cmd14658]

Great tune & they do an awesome cover of it. too bad they didnt come out in the mid 1980's.................MTV would have made them real big..........maybe. i saw them in Boston (1977) doing this tune and others on their "Sinfull" tour and it was one of the best concerts i ever saw.

[MAGNUM2E]

yeah, i agree. if they had launched in the early 80's with video etc... they would have been huge. im very envious that you seen them in 1977. well done.

[MrThrunobulax]

I love punky's insolent, pouting rictus!!

[newtronn1project]

Awesome band live", Too many Legal problems . The singer is a cover band in Vegas. Look up the band "Playground..

[savvycfp]

Angel beat out Boston and Heart as best new Artist in the Circus Mag 1977 Poll

[BASICISAB]

mott the WHOople!!!????

[bittersylence1]

Thanks ProperGroupie.  Old school. Punky rules...or ruled. "So quit it!"

[roadieric]

All you kids need to do a little research BEFORE you start slagging people. This tune was around a LONG time before Angel covered it.

[menchitty11]

Did anybody remember Angel's original Bassist Mickey Jones? He was the original bassist and played on Angel's first 2-3 lps.

[HiltonHeadBob]

He passed away of Liver Cancer about two months ago.

[77REVOLTFORAFRIKA77]

REST IN PEACE

[TheRisingforce2000]

this should have gotten airplay back then

[greekweasel]

It did. This was the first Angel song I ever heard. Bought all the albums shortly after.

[einaroneeye]

About the only time I've seen Punky playing anything except for a black or white Fender Strat. Cool Explorer...

[lrewopf]

Where can i get a punky meadows t-shirt?

[ProperGroupie]

That's cool, just don't blame Angel. They didn't write it. For the Rascals, it went to #52 on the Billboard charts in 1965.

[gershwinriff]

@ProperGroupie Oh I love this version. Offhand I don't know how well this did as a single but to me it's almost like a Grand Funk move ("The Locomotion"). If this song wasn't a hit it had the sound of a hit to me.

[vintagezigg]

@ProperGroupie I wouldn't make excuses for this song. It's a kick ass song, and when the Young Rascals did it , in '65 there weren't too many R&R cliches around like there are today.My friends the Doughboys still do it today. It's one of their signature songs.Sometimes when I see a very negative comment I check out the guy and I find that they have nothing goin' on at all, ASOLUTELY NOTHING.

[okltsply]

Horrible isn't enough of a word to describe this, it's like someone was forced to write a song at gunpoint, and that someone was retarded. Every bad r&r cliche is in this, I grew up with kiss and looking back most of their shit was bad the only one that gave them a shred of creativity was Ace, but this....it's really bad.

[ProperGroupie]

This is a cover of a classic rock song by the Rascals circa 1965.

[okltsply]

Well who ever wrote it it's really bad imo, i've never heard anything so trite, but to each his own. I just stumbled onto this video.

[Trixisforkidz]

@okltsply I had this album. It was a little better overall. Yet, Ya they were a gimmick.

[cgardner13]

STOP

[leftofcenter2009]

isn't this an early version quiet riot?

[cgardner13]

this is fun...the white and pop killed ANGEL

They wrote cool pop with this and Sinful but the fag white and pop did them in

M<aybe if they would have waited " how would they know" till mtv/ and hardened the edge again ... maybe

Rock History

[cgardner13]

I do and to the 1980" 1990"s sound to hard rock ...you are right

When I was 13, 14, 15 on and on , it was a great sound

basic and guitar driven...still think it sounds good

maybe memories

and Dressed to KIll was a Great short KISS album..my first

[hung0sowell]

well if you know the history of kiss,true facts where there record sales floped, until the kiss alive album. kiss is a great live band, but back then the studio stuff were very bad.much like angel

[cgardner13]

no, no no........

their first and helluva band were great

[hung0sowell]

the only good record they had was the live album,others wasnt so hot, just like kiss there studio records suck, but there live album put them on the map

[gifford66]

i know some people who would punch you in da mouth for cutting the first 3 KISS records...lol

[gifford66]

back when "records" were what we listened to, i would listen to side "A" of this and it was great. flip it over and it sucked really bad. there you have it!

[rotory2002]

I saw ANGEL back in the late 70's and they were the opening act for RUSH. They blew away RUSH in a big way and I later read that RUSH was so pissed off that they would never tour with them again. This was written in a popular music mag of the time. Very funny and a GREAT concert....

[jadedaula]

i cannot tell u how much this means 2 me to see this with song and note edited to not see or hear..life long fan..add me darling : )

[jadedaula]

simply love them and always will rock on punky

[hayesr58]

In 1977 , Angel played at the Broome county arena in Binghamton NY. I know they weren"t the headliner but I can't remeber who was. These guys did not get the recognition they deserved. Great 70'S band. Allot of great bands played the small arena as a warm up for their up coming tours...

[worm60]

my 1st concert...angel ,,, rush ,,, & blue oyster cult,,,, we were leaning against the stage..syracuse N.Y. sept 1976 never forget it i still have all there lps..ive put them on c.d...

[cnm2908]

I've heard of Angel's name and 1970s existence for many years, but had never heard their music until now with this song. They sound like a hair-metal band before the hair-metal genre even existed. The pre- hair-metal band hair-metal band, lol.

[hung0sowell]

there where a soft wanna be kiss group, but the singer could sing. kinda like air supply meets kiss

[lrewopf]

no way were they a wanna be KISS group they had an original image and the most original show in rock or i should say one of the most original shows in rock and the music was awesome

[hung0sowell]

they had the same managers,same record label,platform shoes,punky look like ace,open your eyes man.but they tried to make a soft verson of kiss.but there record sales suck

[lrewopf]

so did a lot of other great bands record sales suck for example:the gods,starz,leggs diamond and many others but they all gave it their best shot i'd give my left nut to have had any of the carrers these bands had

[Eddiebeerman]

I saw Angel warm up for Judas Prieat in the mid 70's. The opening was like a magic act. They assembled boxes on the stage then the logo introduced them and they came out of the boxes one by one.

[God111222]

saw that tour too in ny.triple bill w the godz.great show

[Eddiebeerman]

thats the one! I saw it at the Palladium in NYC. I was in the front row and they put the boxes together right in front of me. Then they pulled the metal plates out and they appeared one by one. It was incredible. To this day I still have no clue how they did it...

[glennbkelly]

Crazy, I saw the Angel/Godz show in Seattle. Was the first and last time I'd ever seen them live and I thought the mix of industrial strength magic and cutting edge 3D motion hologram were pretty cool. But the bottom line was their music was theirs and sounded like no other and stuck with ya.

[pcs56]

Does their drum die of spontaneous combustion by any chance? J.K. I had never head of them before today. Great vocals. Wish I had heard of them 30 years ago!

[sizzlechest09]

awesome band...I wonder why they never made it big.

[PRITTYBOYFLOYD64]

AWESOME SONG

[mitchsquires66]

man they look and sound alot like kiss and it looks like there dynasty stage

[gtrman32464]

COOL shit..My first concert ' Angel and Styx..what a great time.Maybe punky should dust off the old axe !!

[clwilu94]

AWESOME!

[sirmattblack]

Fantastic

[beowulven]

Washington, DC in the house!

[liquemascis]

I found this album. It was one dollar. And it sounds like Van Halen and Styx got together and had a baby and then peed on it!

[Mychaels]

I had this album. Try to find now..

[pepper123]

Punky is definitely the prettiest guitarist in Rock. He's even prettier than Lita or Nancy. LOL!

[TheRippper]

F'ng RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maxz0]

come on Punky, give me your lips!

[FlavorRed]

"His hair is so pretty!"

Ha ha ha! I get it! I don't think these other people get it.

Rock on!

[beowulven]

We get it, it's just not that funny. FZ, so overrated...

[lois228gmail]

I knew Punky and Chris before they hit the big time I am so glad I found them it's been along time.

[shankbeau6]

WHO THE "FUCK" IS CHRIS...

"BUBBA?"...

Do you have a fuckin clue

'Bout what your mouthin here SON?...

ANGEL equals...

Frank...Punky...Greg...Felix/M­ickey...

Barry....

Eye be wonderin who this Chris might be?

Enlighten me boy!..

[meekohot]

boring

[semtexxrev]

They should have stayed off the covers. Especially this Rascals piece of cheese.

[CusterFlux]

oh god.

[mastermetx]

An underated band, this album is one of my favorites.

[metallooney]

does anybody have Angel doing "White Lightning" or "L.A.Lady" or "Under Suspicion"

[lovegunII]

Chingones!

Rock on!

[metalmark062]

HELL YEAH!!!Great Band! I know they put out a new material CD in 1999-2001??? and I miss the tour in 2003, they played at a bar South side Chicago..White Hot and Sinful best albums! I did like the "THE FORTUNE" song from Helluva band.I always wanted to form a cover band to play their music..

[fab4ever47]

these guys were pretty big in the late 70s

and then you couldnt find their music

anywhere in the 80s and 90s as if they just

vanished..

nice hearing them again, brought me back

to those great days of the 70s and being a

teenager!

[sortilege06110]

Absolument inespéré de retrouver des videos de ce groupe mythique, injustement méconnu en France. Une vraie leçon de rock. Et dire que la plupare de ceux qui se sont inspirés,ou ont même plagiés ce groupe, sont plus connus à l'heure actuelle

[rdugan001]

This was one of my favorite bands in the 70's. Saw them open for KISS, in Cleveland,OH 78'

[CruezLittleAngel]

They are on MySpace (under AngeltheBand) and from there it mentions a management company. The gig is with Starz (Cherry Baby) and Stories (Brother Louie) and is a benefit.

[beowulven]

DC, baby.

[swanker63]

Wow that,s an Animals song great job by Punky Meadows.I think Frankk Zappa was a bit harsh about making fun of him on his song Punky,s Whips everyone had long hair back in the 70,s.He,s way more focused than frank on his solos even though i am a frank fan he was a bit of a wanker hippie with no real direction!RIP Frank Punky,s pretty good!

[behulls]

ANGEL,should have become one of the all time great rock bands ever!They were poorly promoted!!Their music

has enough appeal like KISS,Queen,Whitesnake,Deeppurp­le

[behulls]

Angel,should have become one of the all time great rock bands.Their music has just as much appeal as bands like Kiss,Queen,Led Zeppelin,Whitesnake
