Bubblegum fun.......2006-02-12

Like bubblegum this doesn't really satisfy any hunger but that doesn't make it wrong. My intro to this guy was seeing the video clip for Dead, Jail or Rock 'n' Roll. A bigger slice of cheese your unlikely to find anywhere, unless it's early Poison or Crue. Seriously, this was obviously a guy out on the edge of Hollywood sleaze stardom.

In terms of fun factor this album rates highly and it scores well in terms of hummability. She's no angel, the aforementioned title track and cool takes on stuff like Not Fakin' It make this a party album for sure. There is also some substance in tunes like the more heartfelt and accusatory While you were Lookin at Me.

But that's about all there is in terms of substance. Basically, Monroe needs a vehicle. And everyone who knows the story will know why he doesn't really have one. He may be considered cool by certain 80's devotees but this is a guy with precious little to say and really, when you listen to the music closely, there is little to it in terms of flash or creativity. Certainly a guy in love with rock 'n' roll though.

The KING of glam/punk.......2004-11-05

This guy just rocks-Mike Monroe is the undisputed king of glam-No one even comes close. This is one of favorite cd's next to his "Nights Are So Long" disc and the Jerusalem Slim disc. Check those out-They rock.

Old school.......2003-12-15

If you like old school 80s with some powerful and in your face lyrics this is a must have. I never was a Hanoi Rocks fan but I think Michael Monroe has much to offer in heavy metal even to this day. In addition to this I also saw Michael Monroe in St. Paul the year Not Fakin' it came out and got more than my money's worth. Monroe is also an excellent harp player. Check it out!
