It's 1988.
You just started your new job as head of A&R at Warner Brothers.
As you look across your desk at the new 'post it pad' invention you think "Shitty hair bands with catchy songs are selling like mad".
You look down and there is a demo tape with a ludicrous picure on the front.
You give it quick listen and think "These people are even better and sexier than Warrant I must give them a million bucks!"
Back on planet Earth my brother emailed me these MP3's last night from a studio demo that we recorded when I was 18. At the time I was doing the rhythm guitar and keyboards thing. Amazingly we didn't get signed...
I'm spectacularly biased but listening again I think it's not bad for a bunch of 18-20 year olds.
Spot the use of the Roland D50 keyboard preset at the start which Roth copied on Skyscraper...
Cheers!
