@studio421 Gotta ask, what's your first name? I think I may know you :)

@baadbobby That car was freaking awesome, remember the paint job on the trunk, of the car itself? OMG, I think he may still have it. In a CCD video he's driving one that looks a lot like it.

@MetalllianStallion Wow, bitter much? I think you may recall that rat race went to number one on headbangers ball, but MTV pulled it after that second week thinking the band had hired a telemarking company to call in. They later appologized on air with that blonde pretty boy(adam?) and re-aired the video but the band never recovered from it. Nicest guys ever and very underrated.

correction: Mitch spells his last name "Allan".

[johnrfolk]

WRT John Allen being the brother of SR71's vocalist...not true. You are referring to Mitch Allen who changed his name before John Allen ever took over drumming duties. Mitch is his real first name. If you pay me a dollar, I will tell you his given surname....:)

Hell yeeeeeeah, this album is fucking perfect played LOUUUUD ;) how all badass rock n' roll should be played !!! Kick it to the limit always n forever 80s \m/

As I recall this album went 'lead' in the States selling similar numbers to David Hasselhoff's 'Night Rocker'(somebody submit that gem). Maybe the band had Spinal Tap Syndrome and they where big in Japan. Another act I have to scratch my head at how they got signed to a major label as they blended in much more than they stood out.

[MetalllianStallion]

Signed by Chrysalis Records,the British label who had a handful of hard rock/metal bands in their arsenal, including Armored Saint,Billy Idol, Slaughter,Stage Dolls,Trouble Tribe, & Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Child's Play might be called a poor man's 'Kix' as they where also from the Maryland but not as talented IMO. The music video for 'Rat Race' barely made a blip on 'Headbangers Ball' radar with the lead singer playing guitar with his gloves on (poser alert! with the velvet touch)
