Anyway, to me, "Rob the Cradle" reminded me of VH's "And the Cradle Will Rock" just due to the title. As to the subject matter, come to think of it, I do think I realized, even then, that it was about an older guy lusting for someone underage, but I guess due to my age (around 16 at the time), I didn't feel it was such a big deal...since I lusted for girls that age, too, obviously ;-) Oh, and yeah, the ballads were good...plus I prefer their cover version of "Squeeze Box" to Poison's.

That's cool you got $60 on ebay for your Roxy Blue CD! I paid about $40 for the first CD I bought from ebay - the Electric Angels self titled CD. I was a big fan of The Loveless/Jonathan Daniel, especially his lyrics, so I was willing to pay anything to hear more. The CD did not disappoint. I was in college at the time, no longer doing the paper route, but still with limited music buying money...so that's high praise from me. Jonathan Daniel was even nice enough to respond to me when I e-mailed him to ask him where I could find the CD. I think he took exception to my use of the word "rare" (lol), but other than that, really cool guy.

And to those of you saying Wildside was better, I'm not as into that music style as I was in my youth, I think hearing that Loveless CD I mentioned earlier, in college, was a big part of my turning point, but I may check out that debut CD someday.]]> Silent Laughter NoticeboardThu, 03 Jan 2013 17:25:06 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923960#msg-923960 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923960#msg-923960 stryper NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 19:37:41 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923959#msg-923959 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923959#msg-923959 stryper NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 19:36:51 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923957#msg-923957 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923957#msg-923957 stryper NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 19:33:41 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923951#msg-923951 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923951#msg-923951 kidego71 NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 17:37:58 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923950#msg-923950 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923950#msg-923950-------------------------------------------------------

Pretty sure the debut was in 92 :)]]> kidego71 NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 17:34:53 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923946#msg-923946 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923946#msg-923946 JIMMY AGATES NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 16:58:32 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923915#msg-923915 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923915#msg-923915 Troy NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 09:05:20 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923908#msg-923908 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923908#msg-923908
So yeah, certainly not the most original band at the time, but much better IMO than most of what you'd hear on a typical Perris Records compilation. Its all about the songs for me and they had them. Anyone ever check out their peers Wildside? I almost bought their record back then (a record store gave me a 2 song sampler cassette by them when I bought "The Wild Life" by Slaughter), but never did. I think that day at the store, it came down to Roxy or Wildside competing for my paper route money and I chose Roxy :-)

What's funny is that, I guess because like I said, I was still young and innocent myself back then, I had no idea what "Rob the Cradle" was about or why it could be so controversial lol Just figured it was a fun, party song about a guy that liked a girl. Now I'm like "ahhhh...I get it." Older and wiser. Hard to imagine a song like that coming out today, huh? ;-)

Oh, and there's a hilarious parody of "Rob the Cradle" done by Liberty N' Justice on one of their albums. Sung by Dale Thompson (Bride). "Cain to Abel". When I first heard it, I was like "omg...this is JUST like Rob the Cradle by Roxy Blue...most obscure hair metal parody ever and I got it, go me" lol I also got the LN'J song that references Vic Rivera and his songs, but apparently I was the only one...I guess I'm more of a "lyrics guy" than most here? Even if it took me awhile to grasp "Rob the Cradle" ;-)]]> Silent Laughter NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 08:23:15 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923898#msg-923898 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923898#msg-923898Mike]]> MIKE NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 07:30:47 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923895#msg-923895 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923895#msg-923895 Coco NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 07:22:38 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923885#msg-923885 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923885#msg-923885 Tony Bainbridge NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 06:23:39 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923879#msg-923879 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923879#msg-923879 Troy NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 05:31:53 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923874#msg-923874 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923874#msg-923874 rocknut NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 05:22:04 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923872#msg-923872 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923872#msg-923872 Carl1 NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 04:56:46 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923862#msg-923862 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923862#msg-923862-------------------------------------------------------

To each their own. Nope, I aint kidding. I have been waiting for these for a few months now. Saw them quite a few times back in the day. Fun band with a killer guitar player. They just surfaced at the wrong time.]]> kidego71 NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 04:13:40 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923845#msg-923845 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923845#msg-923845 stevebme NoticeboardThu, 20 Dec 2012 03:11:02 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923831#msg-923831 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,923670,923831#msg-923831
