Title: Re: Axl Wanna-Be
Product review: Actually this album and Appetite came out exactly the same time in late summer 87. It might have been the same day. They both came from the Hollywood scene, whose to say that Axl wasnt biting Taime's style?I agree with the other reviewers that FP were much underrated. One thing that set them apart was their ability to evolve and change their style. From this to "Wake Me When Its Over" to "Whipped" showed great evolution and incorporating different songwriting, musical experiementation and always great style.Most people may lump them in with Poison, Cinderella and Slaughter, but I think they belong in league with Aerosmith, NY Dolls, Hanoi Rocks, The Cult and others who can transcend genre boundaries. They still get regular rotation in my house.PS: Their version of "You're So Vain" may be the most perfect idea for a cover song ever. It is awesome!
