Different type of metal.......2007-05-20

This was a combo heavy metal/red-neck band. Let's call it Southern Metal. Very good songs and a different approach to your cookie cutter hair bands of the 80's. Definitely worth a buy if you want to hear something not mainstream.

its alright.......2007-04-01

the album is alright... Their is a reason Dangerous Toys weren't as huge as other 80's metal bands, and its simple, their songs weren't great.

A fun listen for fans of late 80's/early 90's hard rock fans.

Their first and best!!.......2007-03-09

This 1989 debut album from this Texas sleaze metal outfit is chocked full of great vocals from Jason McMaster,catchy guitar riffs,and generally a collection of feel good tunes about getting drunk and having a good time.It fits quite nicely in my CD collection in the " D" column next to the Dirty Looks CD.I thought "Scared" was the best song on here along with the opener,"Teasin Pleasin" and "Queen of the Nile" but I liked all of them.The best way to describe Dangerous Toys is that it has a heavy Guns N Roses sound with a poppier edge to it.It's too bad they never made a good album after this one and Dangerous Toys would never get to this level again.If you want late 80's hard rock/metal without the spandex and the makeup,this debut album is highly recommended.Nothing fancy,just good old fashioned rock and roll.

Get the Hell Out of My Wayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-09-13

This album is awesome!!! The music is excellent, but the singing is the best. Dangerous Toys' lead singer Jason McMaster basically sings about trying to get laid, getting drunk, and committing crimes. None of the lyrics on this album are showcase worthy displays of fine literature... but what great lyrics they are. I am not one to memorize songs, but I can pretty much sing along with the entire album while driving (which distinguishes DT from most other bands). Every song is full of awesome, cheesy, ridiculous, humorous, and/or flat-out memorable content:

- "hey man, I didn't know she was your wife"
- "man I really, really think, really think that I think"
- "even though I'm trouble, kids look up to me"
- "done unreal things, you wouldn't realize...living testament that crime pays"
- "queen of the Nile, love me like an earthquake" (?????)
- "a cloud of dust, a mighty hi-ho silver - 10 boots"
- "sorry bout dem bones in the muddy gutterrrrRRRRRRRRR.....yeahhhhhhhhh"
- "sportin a woody when yur +!++!*$ fly"

...and try using the following lyrics anywhere else:

"Shahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnah...nahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahbahbahbah...baby...baby...nahnah. nahnah. nahnah. nahnah... shoobudymamma. Shoobudymamma. Shoobudymamma. Shoobudymamma...nahnah. Nahnah. Nahnah. Nahnah...gyehh gyehh gyehhyeahyeahyeahyeahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"

one of the best albums.......2006-04-30

This is one of my top ten cds of all time. I still throw it in the car radio once in a while. The Dangerous Toys were a sleazy, southern high energy true rock n roll band. They sure dont make albums like this anymore.

This cd also has my favorite album cover of all time, The clown in the attic pic. I always wanted to get that clown as a tattoo!

My all time fav track by D.Toys is on the cd..."Outlaw". High energy-fast lyrics LOVE-IT!
Also has the debut single "Teasin Pleasin" another kick axe song.
Other highlights in my eyes are "Here Comes Trouble", "Bones In The Gutter" and "Ten Boots". Pick up this cd, Its a clasSICK!

great rock-n-roll!!!.......2006-08-19

I have not received this item as of yet.From what I remember this was an excellent hard rock album(cd, oops!)

Another great album by The Toys!.......2006-01-11

I remember waiting for this album to come out because these guys were local in Austin, TX. and I could not only buy it but go see them live whenever I wanted to. I'm sure certain songs were played live before they found their way to this album. But overall, this album is great. I remember when this and Dangerous Toys (1st album) were all I had by these guys. I really like all four albums very well.

Favorite songs: Gunfighter, Gimme No Lip, Sticks And Stones, Best of Friends, Sugar, Leather & The Nail, Angel N.U., and Line 'Em Up.

The beginning of the end.......2005-07-09

My first experience with Dangerous Toys was the song "Teasin', Pleasin'". I loved it, bought the debut cd and was blown away. What an awesome debut album...I'd rate it four stars. Then, I found this Dangerous Toys song called "Demon Bell" on a soundtrack album. Wow! What a great song! I couldn't wait for the follow up album to be released. As soon as "Hellacious Acres" hit the stands, I was there with money in hand. The anticipation was tremendous! It stunk. Terrible. Complete flop. Wasted money. My head was hung low. I have tried hard to like this album. Many times I've given it another chance. Why? You ask? Because it simply can't be as bad as I remember. And everytime I'm reminded of how terrible it is. To make matters worse, years later, I bought the "Pissed" cd. They got me again!! How stupid am I? It wasn't bad enough to be duped once...no...I had to go and buy another terrible cd from these guys. I guess the reason the got me twice is because I couldn't forget how great the debut album was and I just figured maybe "Hellacious Acres" was just a hellacious nightmare. Turns out that Dangerous Toys is just hellaciously bad.

Dangerously Underrated.......2004-04-10

I listened to these guys first album and I thought it was alright. For some reason I put off listening to this album for a while; probably a fear of disappointment. What I got when I finally heard this album was hard hittin Hair Metal at its finest. Pretty much every song on here is good, some better than others. Gunfighter, Gimme' No Lip, Sticks and Stones, Line 'Em Up, and Gypsy (Black-N-Blue Valentine) are the best songs on here. The major downfall of this album is the cover of Feel Like Makin' Love. I don't even like the original version very much. Best of Friends didn't fit too well with me either.

Even with that, the album still rocks. Sticks and Stones should be the anthem of all real rock fans. It's too bad that more people do not know about this album.

Edges out debut.......2004-03-15

In my opinion this album is better than the debut.
It's has a dirty rock'n roll feel which the debut only showed signs of.
1. Gunfighter - So good. No better way to start an album
2. Gimme No Lip - Outstanding rocker
3. Stick & Stones - Excellent. Great riffs and raw attitude.
4. Best Of Friends - Good ballad.
5. On Top - Great riff. This song oozes with sex & Rock'n Roll. About a girl who likes it on top, if you get it.
6. Sugar, Leather & The Nail - One of my favs. Greatest chorus ever.
7. Angel NU - Some other reviews here kinda bashed this song. I have to say that this bluesy beast is perhaps the most impressive. Great solos. It's a bit different than the other songs on the album.
8. Feel Like Makin' Love - Bad Company cover. They do it justice.
9. Line 'em Up - This was one of the singles from the album. Not my fav, but very catchy.
10. Gypsy (Black 'n Blue Valentine) - The most polished song. Not bad, but one of the best.
11. Bad Guy - Good, rockin' to the point. Concludes the most underrated album by the most underrated band.Buy it.

A Real soundtrack that Rocks! Shocker is a 1989 classic!.......2005-03-01

This is one soundtrack that packs a punch.Unlike today's music, this soundtrack really rocks! Proving once again that the 80's had the best music.This is a great metal/hair/rock album.
1.Shocker(10/10)The title track kicks major ass.Paul Stanly(of kiss)on vocals, Vivian Campbell(of Dio and Whitesnake)on guitar, Rudy Sarzo(of M.A.R.S. and Whitesnake)on Bass, and Tommy Lee(Motley Crue)on drums.This song will blow you away.
2.Love Transfusion(10/10)Another great metal song.Iggy Pop on vocals, Guy Mann Dude and John McCurry on guitars among many others involved.
3.No More Mr Nice Guy(1/10)Megadeath sucks on this one.Megadeath ruined this song.Horrible job.Their a good band on their own, but they're suckin all over the place on this one.Shame on you Megadeath!
4.Sword and Stone(9/10)great song performed by Bonfire.Excellent job.This one was written by Bruce Kulick(of Kiss).
5.Timeless Love(9/10)A great love ballad.If you want a ballad dine right 80's style this is a good one!Performed by Saraya.They do a fine job.Their first self titled release is worth buying.This song is just a sample of what the can do.
6.Shockdance(4/10)Pretty bad song, but it is so bad it's actually funny to listen to because of the rap(Pinker he's a stinker)Ha Ha Ha!Alice Cooper does the vocal work!
7.Demon Bell(10/10)This is the best song Dangerous Toys ever performed.A killer tune.Love the Guitar riffs!
8.The Awakening(6/10)Not a bad song.Pretty decent metal tune performed by Voodoo X.
9.Different Breed(3/10)Pretty horrible song by this loser band called Dead On.More like Dead End which is what they came to!
10.Shocker(reprise)7/10)Continuation of te chorus line at the end of the first song.

Super soundtrack!.......2004-10-19

One of the greatest 80's metal soundtracks ever! The main theme "shocker" is absolutely rockin'!!! Also the old song "no more mr. nice guy" sang by Megadeth is much better than the original version... Too bad they haven't brought this album out again... It's a must for every metal fan!

For a soundtrack not bad.......2003-12-13

I got this when it first came out. The highlight for me on this
is the song, The Awakening by a band called Voodoo X. Very, Very Cool Tune. Another stand out is Sword and Stone by Bonfire, Demon Bell by Dangerous Toys. The title track has some various artist on it. Definately a good cd if you like the 80's metal scene, as i do. But definately check out The Awakening by Voodoo X.

Incorrect title, great music, and other issues...........2006-02-14

The Ultimate Dangerous Toys. Thier first Greatest Hits collection.

The texas metal band fell just short of massive fame, but it wasn't due to lack of kick-ass songs. We all know the tired story: bad label management, change of times, radio support blah blah blah...

I own all the albums with the exception of the '99 VITAMINS AND CRASH HELMETS TOUR live album, so I can say for sure what exactly should be on a proper greatest hits album. The biggest and most obvious problem would be the label differences. DT's 1989-1992 output is owned by Columbia and the rest is all about Deadline Cleopatra, which is what label this album is on. Basically it would either be a Columbia released greatest hits album that ignores anything after 1994 or this..But to be honest this release falls short on the material it DOES have to work on. The music is great, and its nice that someone put some thought into giving DT a retrospective, but, when all is said and done, this is how we can break it down:

(1989) DANGEROUS TOYS
There are no tracks from this release but what should be on are at the very least the 2 biggest singles ("Tease'n Please'n" and "Scared") as well as "Feels Like a Hammer" for an un-generic ballad. Perhaps "Gimmie No Lip" and "Line 'Em Up", the other singles

(1991) HELLACIOUS ACRES
Also, there are no tracks from this release but what would be nice would have been "Best of Friends", the amazing opening track "Gunfighter for Love", "Black n Blue Valentine" with its strong chorus, and the raw and loud "Bad Guy"

(1994) PISSED
What is included is good, could have added "Promise the Moon", "Illustrated Man" and "Screamin' for More" as well...

(1995) R*TIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS...
The name of this release pretty much sums it up. The material from this album sounds almost nothing like any previous DT music and pretty much no one had any interest in the band at this point. However it DID produce some great music, that could have been a bit more featured here, ok ALOT more, take whats here and add "Down Inside", "Mom and Dad", even though its pretty off beat, this whole album is, "New Anger" and "Heard It All" to name a couple other possible additions

I won't say much about the Live tracks but basically its the only way to hear any of the Columbia years material on this disc. Overall, its barely a decent intro, you'd have to be pretty casual of a fan to only want this. My advice, get all the albums, if you like DT you will like most of thier albums, with the exception of R*TIST, I would say get that last. Only thing is you may need to shell out some cash to get PISSED and R*TIST but it would be worth it. 6-13

Still the only greatest hits album for this band.......2005-10-05

This is a decent retrospective of material by Dangerous Toys taken from the latter part of their career. The collection is made up of selections from three independently released albums by the band: 'Pissed' (1994 studio album), 'R-Tist 4-Merly Known As Dangerous Toys' (1995 studio album) and 'Vitamins and Crash Helmets Tour: Greatest Hits Live' (1999 live album).

The artwork doesn't quite measure up to previous album covers by the band, even if it does include the trademark shot of a clown. Anyone who has a smidgen of knowledge on Dangerous Toys knows that their cover art is arguably the best in the business. This time around, the cover art does not live up to previous glories. The reason is that a different artist was hired to do the cover. The original artist, Tommy Pons, is nowhere to be found. The artist employed here produced what amounts to a watered-down replica of Tommy's classic clown, which is the "mascot" for this group.

The liner notes are decent enough. The only misstep with the packaging is that the song "Cure the Sane" is given the incorrect title of "Cure the Lane." Aside from that, the standard by-the-numbers liner notes for such a compilation can be expected.

The first three selections to open this cd come from the 1994 cd, 'Pissed.' The track selection from 'Pissed', which includes the title track, is suspect. The two singles, "Illustrated Man" and "Promise the Moon", would have been much better choices. Three more songs on 'The Ultimate Dangerous Toys' are taken from the 1995 studio release (see above). Of the three cuts, "Share the kill" is the strongest track but all three of them are above average.

The final seven tunes on this album are taken from the 'Vitamins and Crash Helmets' live release (1999). The good news is that these are the best cuts from the live album. A lot of these are familiar to music fans who may have heard of Dangerous Toys. A major highlight is the live rendition of "Scared", taken from a concert in Boston, which originally appeared (and was played) on a syndicated radio show.

The truth is that there is nothing wrong with this album, but there isn't anything special about it. The best starting point for a new fan is still the 1989 self-titled release, in which even the filler is better than most of the stuff on here. There was a reason it went gold and sold close to a million copies. Most of the live cuts from 'The Ultimate Dangerous Toys' can be found on there, in their studio form. Everything on this album has already been released elsewhere, which is a strike against 'The Ultimate Dangerous Toys.'

However, you have to give a hand to Deadline Records who is the label that issued this cd. They ponied up the dough to obtain the rights to reissue the 1994 and 1995 studio albums by Dangerous Toys, both of which were first released on another indie label. Deadline also took the initiative to put out a very strong live album for Dangerous Toys that was long overdue, given the reputation of this band for tearing it up live. As previously mentioned, those three albums make up this collection. It's clear that somebody at Deadline doesn't want Dangerous Toys to be forgotten about.

You want me to get to the point, I'm sure. What is the final verdict? If you only have the self-titled debut or its follow-up, 'Hellacious Acres' and are just rediscovering the band, then this is a good way to go. You could do much worse. If you've stuck by Dangerous Toys through thick and thin and already own the source albums, then think twice about making this purchase.

DANGEROUS TOYS ROCK.......2004-06-24

BUY IT! Dangerous Toys, in my opinion, is a big part of what makes metal cool. If Jason's voice didn't blow a speaker or two in your house, you missed it! This disk deserves a spot right next to my Broken Teeth cd's. (Jason McMaster's latest project ~ brokenteeth.com) This is a great collection of tunes guaranteed to get you rockin'!!! All Hail the Toys!!!!

Another Great Toys Album!.......2006-01-11

This would be the 3rd effort by Austin's own Dangerous Toys. I remember waiting for this album to come out and going out to the store to pick it up the moment it came out. Being a local band we could go see DT at the Back Room or some place around Austin anytime we wanted to. And we did. This album was the first on an independent label and we find the Toys getting better and better with each new album, while maintaining their hard-edge beginnings at the same time.

I played each of these albums many times as each would come out. And as good as each of these albums are (all 4) these guys were somehow always much much better live. I think of many good times when I hear this album.

Favorite songs: Pissed, Paintrain, Promise The Moon, Strange, Hard Luck Champion, Screamin' For More, Oh Well, So What!, and Illistraited Man.

Pissed alright.......2004-03-15

When Dangerous Toys returned 3 years after Hellacious Acres, they were hungry to prove a few points.
This is a basic rock'n roll album with brilliant songs and no BS. The songs are very strong here. No danger of fillers.
1. Pissed - The title track is a very good hard rock song great riff, lyrics and chorus. A winner.
2. Paintrain - Slighly groovier. I love this song. Maybe me favourite.
3. The Law Is Mine - Very catchy, a bit poppy but very cool indeed.
4. Promise The Moon - DT always had good slow songs. This ballad is no exception. No typical soppy hair band ballad here.
5. Strange - A very cool track. Intense and crazy. Strange.
6. Loser - My kind of song. Rock 'n Roll with a great hook. Cool lyrics too.
7. Hard Luck Champion - Another winner.
8. Screamin' For More - This is the best one. Everything about this song is quality. Laid back rocker.
9. Oh Well So What - DT being a bit punkish, great lyrics.
10. Illustrated Man - This is another amazing song. The songwriting is great.

Another winner from Dangerous Toys.

This is a great, sadly overlooked album.......2003-04-03

I haven't heard the re-master of this album, but the original release had some great sounding guitars and bass. And it's as good as the first Dangerous Toys disc, in my opinion....80's style rock was still surviving in 1994. Do you remember?

Not their best but far from bad........2000-07-06

If you like their first 2 cds, then you like this one too. Its not as hard and diverse as the s/t cd but is definitely worth a shot. Its great to see that DT was able survive during the grunge era and produce great albums. This cd was recently digitally remastered. Make sure to get this copy!

Great CD.. Just not the 'toys your used to..........2006-05-18

Listen with an open mind, and ENJOY! Especially Monster Man and Share the Kill. this cd is a gem...

One of their best albums! If not, the best!.......2006-01-11

I've been a fan of these guys since their first album, having grown up in Austin, Texas where the band practiced and played all those years. I really like each album for different reasons but this album seemed to take it up a notch and poise them a bit more for the future at the same time. I think it was their most professional effort to date and was showing the right signs of a band that was putting out their 4th album.

It seems cliche' now to say this but if it had been marketted better they would've gone very big on this album. Who knows what would've came next? I saw these guys many many many times at the Back Room in Austin and probably a couple of other places. They always put on a great live show! And it was never too much money either. Ah! The good ol' days!

Overall, this is my favorite album bar none. I think it shows their overall abilities. I still love everything else they did but this really impressed me.

Favorite songs: Share The Kill, Cure The Sane, The Numb, Take Me Swiftly, Transmission, Better To Die, New Anger, Monster Man and Live The Lie.

You want broken ground ..or not?.......2005-07-28

All the time I hear complaints about "New Ground NOT being Broken" in the world of hard rock/metal. Well folks, this IS grond breaking and if given a chance to sink in...it very good! I dare any metal/alternative head to give it a listen.

ROCK or DIE - JRK

Heavy stuff.......2004-03-15

This swan song studio album from DT was a very different affair.
Bass player Mike Watson had left and vocalist Jason McMaster took over his place. The song here are harder and more industrialized. That would propably be a bad thing for most fans, but I must admit that their songwriting is still up to par. This is a very good album, but perhaps not a DT album like you know them.
1. Share The Kill - Blew my mind first time I heard it. Very heavy, but man what killer song. Gets the blood pumping. Great.
2. Cure The Sane - Grungy. Great chorus and groovy riffing.
3. The Numb - In your face riffing. Heavy music. Melodic vocal. Good tune.
4. Take Me Swiftly - The repetitive vocal line makes this song so cool. The riff. Perfect.
5. Heard It All - A slow song. Great all the way through.
6. Transmission - Another slow one. This is one great song. The melody lines are so amazing. This one gets to the brain. A little lame lyrics though.
7. Words On The Wall - Aggresive metal song. Not bad, not my fav,
8. Better To Die - One of the best on the album. More like old school DT.
9. Down Inside - the weakest track on the album. Has that distinctive grunge moaning. And the chorus never takes of either.
10. New Anger - Starts of perfect. Aggresive and great. The problem comes with the chorus. It seems like they tried to do something unexpected with the chorus, and in my book they don't succeed. This could have been an amazing song. Seems unfinished.
11. Monster Man - Heaviest song ever. They are outsabbathing Black Sabbath. Great stuff.
12. To Live The Lie - The winner on the album. This epic-like rocker. You should get the album for this track alone.
13. Mom & Dad - A short little ditty. Muddy slide guitar with vocals sounding like its sung through a phone. Very cool.

Buy this only if you concider yourself open minded.
If you're into the other DT albums, this one will sound different but it's really equally good.

What the H*LL happened to Dangerous Toys????????.......2004-01-21

Someone has kidnapped Dangerous Toys and replaced them with some industrial/grunge/techno band!!!!! Nothing like the good old stuff from Teas'n to Pissed. I was disappointed track after track. A total waste of money, BEWARE!

For fans only, but there is nothing wrong with that.......2005-09-14

After ten years together, Dangerous Toys released this (their first) live album in 1999. The full title is 'Vitamins and Crash Helmets Tour: Greatest Hits Live.' This disc is chock full of Dangerous Toys classics and some little-heard gems. Deadline Records, who doesn't have the greatest of reputations, did a truly outstanding job here. Hats off to the label and band for producing this compilation.

The liner notes and cover art are both great, both of which have come to be expected from Dangerous Toys over the years. It is explained where and when these tracks were recorded, which is a plus. These live recordings are taken from all over the place, between 1989 and 1995. For the most part, the tracks go in chronological order.

The track listing here is a good representation of the Dangerous Toys catalog and then some. You may find at least a couple songs that you had forgotten about. All four studio albums are represented with the bulk of the material being taken from the first two releases ('s/t' and 'Hellacious Acres'). It was nice to see two tracks each from the lesser known independent releases, 'Pissed' (1994) and 'R-Tist 4-Merly Known As Dangerous Toys' (1995). The song "Dangerous Toys", which closes the album is a previously unreleased track, done live, and serves as a nice treat for the diehard fan. Rumor has it that the song "Dangerous Toys", which had been lying around unused, was later adapted into the song "Demon Bell" for the 1989 movie soundtrack of 'Shocker.'

Soundwise, the recordings are a mixed bag. The later day recordings actually sound very good, but many of the earlier tracks don't have the same sound quality. Some of you may remember that this same live version of "Scared" (from Boston) was widely used on a nationally syndicated rock/metal radio show many years ago. Regardless of the sound, which delves into bootleg quality at times, the band sounds like a well-oiled machine and generally delivers with each and every song they perform. While I hate to do it, it is necessary to remove a star from the final score because this is from scattered shows and not one live set. It also doesn't help that some tracks were not mixed very well, not the fault of the band. The best way to listen to this album is on a stereo or some good headphones.

This isn't something that will serve as an introduction to the band. A new listener will want to start with one of the studio albums, preferably the self-titled debut. However, if you've already been a loyal member of the Dangerous Toys fanbase, you can't afford to pass this one up.

Very good release of live Toys! A nice treat!.......2005-04-07

If you were there in the crowd (at the Back Room in Austin, Tx.)as many times as I was then this is music to your ears. I'm just now getting this and it's making a nice addition to my Toys collection. The first 7 songs are from the Boston show in Novemember 1989. Is this all from one tour? No, ofcourse not. The songs span all 4 albums from 1989 - 1995. Sound quality varies throughout. The track from the first 7 I enjoyed the most was Scared. That one felt the most like the good ol' days. They're not kidding about some songs sounding very 'bootleg'(Best of Friends for example). But it's still enjoyable and kind've like a mini-box set. And as time goes on the band seems to get more seasoned and polished (in a good way). Bootleg song or not you can tell they just kept getting better and better. Practice makes perfect. Overall, the album's quality is pretty good though.

Whether you're a fan who has some or all the studio stuff and just wants more or someone who's just getting into the band and want to check this out, you're going to be pleased. I do wish there were more songs from the 4th album :) Minor quibble. I think it's great that there's something from all 4 albums.

Raw live album.......2004-03-15

This one is for the fans. I love it, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone but those who already love DT. This is like a collection of good quality bootlegs. Alot of good songs here. A back from the grave release. Let's hope the Toys will record again.

Great cd, although I have always thought that they are never captured well live.

Dangerous Toys Live - Rock-N-Raw.......2000-01-19

I am a big fan of Dangerous Toys since the release of their first album in 1989. I really enjoy their music because they seem to incorporate other styles of music that I like, for example Alice Cooper. This album includes the majority of their hits, but of course live. The live audio is raw and captures a true product of a live performance. There are no touch ups such as overdubs or what nots. The CD sleeve makes notes that the album is very raw and you get what you hear. The live recording song selections varies from approximately 1989 to 1996. I think they sound as good as any live band that I have ever heard because you get the rawness of the performance. I think they pulled off "Gimme No Lip" very well. Dangerous Toys stayed true to the recorded versions of the songs for the most part. All-in-all I think it is a kickin album that any Dangerous Toys fan would appreciate. Ckeck it out.
