RECKLESS "Hot And Ready"

Canadian '80s hair-metal rock band RECKLESS and their hit single (well, in Saskatoon, anyhow) "Hot And Ready". Shot at Global TV in Toronto. Present-day music videos have rapidly-paced editing for today's attention spans. The scenes in this video take almost forever to change! Was shown on MTV Headbanger's Ball by Dee Snider once! Yahoo! Song written by guitarist Steve Madden.
LYRICS:

Get down - rock steady - this town is hot 'n' ready.
This hibernation's far too long
we'll rock the nation - a billion strong
there's no denying - we're the new breed
you'll beg for mercy but you love to bleed
we've got the power from the left to the right,
we've got the glory when you're there to ignite
We've got the mind to turn you inside and out,
Let's see your hands!
Get down - rock steady, my gun - is ready
get down - rock steady, this town - is hot 'n' ready!
Ready for you!
No explanation, no degradation,
we're all here for the celebration!
we've got the power from the left to the right,
we've got the glory when you're there to ignite
We've got the mind to turn you inside and out,
Let's see your hands when you scream and shout!
Get down - rock steady, my gun - is ready
get down - rock steady, this town - is hot 'n' ready!
Hot and ready!
Get down - rock steady, my gun - is ready
get down - rock steady, this town - is hot 'n' ready! etc. etc.

I was just watching a home reno show, Love It or List It on Women's Network, Canada. The guy had a Reckless poster in his basement and he was a drummer. Any idea if it was the guy in the video?

[TupakSade]

@200mad Yup, same guy - only 27 years later! Apparently he didn't have the poster up in his basement; he had it in storage, but the tv crew found it and put it up as part of the reveal. There was also a pic of him at 14 years old with Neil Peart backstage that the crew found, framed and put up for the reveal too!

[zougras]

where we can found the lyrics of this band?

[TupakSade]

@zougras Hey, Zougras; which lyrics do you need? Message me privately and I'll get you the ones you want.

[GlamorousDarkness]

They ad a video for a song called Nitty Gritty. If anyone finds it PLEASE let me know!

[TupakSade]

@GlamorousDarkness - Hey, GD: This version of Reckless had no song called "Nitty Gritty", and this was their only promotional video. You're thinking of the US band Reckless that came out after the Canadian band was already broken up.

[DropPodFullOfPonies]

9 people don't have their guns ready.

It may be cornball hair-metal, but it's good cornball hair-metal...from Canada, t'boot!

Man, this is as god awful as I remember it from 25 years ago.

I absolutely loved the first Reckless album with Jan on vocals and I loved Doug Adams with Witchkiller. What a band!

I have no idea why Steve would dumb things down this much when he could write mindblowing stuff like 'Victim of Time'. And WTF happened to his guitar tone?! His tone ruled on the first album.

Reckless II = epic fail on every level.
