Info:

Slaughter is an American hard rock band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada by lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum. The band reached stardom in 1990 with their first album Stick It to Ya, which spawned several hit singles including "Up All Night", "Spend My Life", "Mad About You" and "Fly to the Angels". The album reached double platinum status in the United States.The band remains a steady act in national tours, mainly in the Rock Never Stops Tour which features several bands of the same era.Slaughter formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, in late-1988, out of the ashes of lead vocalist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum's previous band, Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Vinnie Vincent Invasion's record company, Chrysalis Records, took the $4 million contract away from Vinnie Vincent for overexceeding his credit line with the label, and transferred the contract to former members Slaughter and Strum. By 1989, Slaughter and Strum completed the lineup by recruiting lead guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias.Slaughter's debut album Stick It to Ya had three hit songs in the Billboard Hot 100: "Fly to the Angels" (#19), "Up All Night" (#27), and "Spend My Life" (#39). During this time, they were signed by Orion Pictures to record a song for the film Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. The song, titled "Shout It Out", was accompanied by a music video and received heavy airplay.In 1992, they released their second album, titled The Wild Life. It had the Billboard Hot 100 hit "Real Love" (#69) and was certified gold. The band planned to record their third album in early 1994. However, in 1993 guitarist Tim Kelly was arrested for charges of drug trafficking, while bassist Dana Strum had a motorcycle accident that injured his playing hand. The delayed album was completed in February 1994 and a video for the first single "Searchin'" was financed by Chrysalis. Due to the changing musical climate and Chrysalis' absorption by EMI Records, Slaughter was dropped from the label in a massive cleaning house that included dismissals of other previously popular acts such as Billy Idol and Huey Lewis and the News.The band negotiated to be released from their label and signed with CMC Records, a new label that was working to keep hard rock bands on the scene. In 1995, they finally released Fear No Evil. Despite little success in the United States, the album did well in Japan. Guitarist Dave Marshall (ex-Vince Neil band) had to fill in for Kelly at times, due to his legal problems. Kelly's legal troubles ended and the band committed to their next album. In 1997, they followed it with Revolution. The album featured a more eclectic and psychedelic sound, but failed to make an impact. On February 5, 1998, tragedy struck when guitarist Tim Kelly was killed in an auto accident in the Arizona desert. This deeply affected the band, but they were committed to continue with the band. Dave Marshall briefly performed as a touring guitarist for Slaughter in Japan. In 1998, they hired Jeff Blando as Kelly's replacement and began working on their next album. A live album titled Eternal Live was released featuring some of the band's last performances with Kelly.In 1999, they resurged with Back to Reality, featuring Blando as the new guitarist. Blando was previously in Left For Dead and Saigon Kick. Slaughter continues to play many rock package tours with other acts that saw prominence during the glam era of the 1980s and early 1990s. During the summer of 1999, while on its own "Rock Never Stops Tour" (which included Ted Nugent and Night Ranger), Slaughter enjoyed a brief commercial resurgence, with the "#1 Track" on the VH-1 CD "Power Ballads" with "Fly To The Angels", "Up All Night" became the "#1 Track" on Rhino Records "Hard Hitters," and also took part in the Summer 2000 "Poison, Cinderella, Dokken and Slaughter" tour.In 2001, Slaughter was a part of the "Voices of Metal" tour featuring Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe, Ratt, and Vixen. Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum's former Vinnie Vincent Invasion band mate Bobby Rock played as a touring drummer for Slaughter, filling in for Blas Elias on some shows of the Rock Never Stops Tour. In April 2004, Slaughter released a DVD-A entitled Then and Now that features 12 songs and 50 rare photos of the band over the years. Slaughter also released a DVD that features all of the music videos and behind the scenes footage during the 2004 season. On July 13, 2007, Slaughter performed at glam metal festival Rocklahoma. However, Strum and Blando were not present during the band's performance, though they did perform with Vince Neil the following night. At the end of January 2008 Slaughter performed a show at Motley Cruise, a 4-day cruise in the Caribbean with Vince Neil, Skid Row, Ratt, Endeverafter, Lynam.Slaughter performed a show in Pocatello, Idaho on July 11, 2008, with Mark Slaughter and Jeff Blando were the only members from the recent lineup of Slaughter, Blando, Strum, Elias and Christian that was integrated as guitarist and vocalist in 2008.

Album:

Slaughter's first greatest hits album, "Mass Slaughter: The Best Of Slaughter" is a must have for all Slaughter fans. This album contains material from the Slaughter albums "Stick It To Ya" and "The Wild Life", and the live versions of "Up All Night" and "Fly To The Angels" that appeared on the Slaughter five song live EP "Stick It Live" also appear on here. "Stick It To Ya" and "The Wild Life" were both great Slaughter albums, and I can think of nothing better than an album with about an hour of great Slaughter music. All of Slaughter's songs are great, but my personal favorite is "Up All Night". Other good songs on this album are "You Are The One", "Real Love", "Mad About You", "The Wild Life", "Spend My Life", "Eye to Eye", and several other great Slaughter songs. Also, when you listen to this album, if you have heard both "Stick It To Ya" and "The Wild Life", you will notice that the studio version of "Up All Night", "Days Gone By", and "Fly To The Angels" all appear as edited versions on this album. Unfortunately for Slaughter, their popularity only lasted for a while. But their name still remains in the spotlight, and with "Mass Slaughter" and the other two Slaughter greatest hits albums "Then and Now" and "Extended Versions"( which was greatest hits material from Slaughter's live classic "Eternal Live") Slaughter will now hopefully release a greatest hits album with songs from all of their albums, including some songs with Jeff Blando, who joined Slaughter after the untimely death of Tim Kelly. Rest in peace, Tim. We all miss you, and still, after fifteen years, SLAUGHTER LIVES ON!!!

Album:

The Wild Life is the second studio album by American hard rock band Slaughter.It was released in 1992 by Chrysalis Records.The album produced the hit singles "The Wild Life", "Days Gone By" and "Real Love". It was certified gold.The album debuted at Number 8 on the Billboard 200 album Charts.This second album from Slaughter has recently been re-released with additional tracks. The fun-time, rock and roll attitude initiated on their first album, Stick It To Ya, carries through onto this, their second album.The only complaint I have was that there could have been more extra tracks...but other than that I felt that this was an excellent addition to my cd collection.The first two tracks on this cd blew me away. Reach for the Sky & Out for Love. These two first cuts makes it worthwhile to obtain this. Not that the rest of the cd is bad it rocks all the way through. But listen to the blazing guitars and bass on the first two cuts on this cd and you'll be hooked. Other great tunes on it are Dance for Me Baby, The Wild Life, Real Love, Shake this Place and Old Man .The production on this is well done so you'll move to the music

Bio:

Slaughter is an American hard rock band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada by lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum. The band reached stardom in 1990 with their first album Stick It to Ya, which spawned several hit singles including "Up All Night", "Spend My Life", "Mad About You" and "Fly to the Angels". The album reached double platinum status in the United States.The band remains a steady act in national tours, mainly in the Rock Never Stops Tour which features several bands of the same era.Slaughter formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, in late-1988, out of the ashes of lead vocalist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum's previous band, Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Vinnie Vincent Invasion's record company, Chrysalis Records, took the $4 million contract away from Vinnie Vincent for overexceeding his credit line with the label, and transferred the contract to former members Slaughter and Strum. By 1989, Slaughter and Strum completed the lineup by recruiting lead guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias.Slaughter's debut album Stick It to Ya had three hit songs in the Billboard Hot 100: "Fly to the Angels" (#19), "Up All Night" (#27), and "Spend My Life" (#39). During this time, they were signed by Orion Pictures to record a song for the film Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. The song, titled "Shout It Out", was accompanied by a music video and received heavy airplay.In 1992, they released their second album, titled The Wild Life. It had the Billboard Hot 100 hit "Real Love" (#69) and was certified gold. The band planned to record their third album in early 1994. However, in 1993 guitarist Tim Kelly was arrested for charges of drug trafficking, while bassist Dana Strum had a motorcycle accident that injured his playing hand. The delayed album was completed in February 1994 and a video for the first single "Searchin'" was financed by Chrysalis. Due to the changing musical climate and Chrysalis' absorption by EMI Records, Slaughter was dropped from the label in a massive cleaning house that included dismissals of other previously popular acts such as Billy Idol and Huey Lewis and the News.The band negotiated to be released from their label and signed with CMC Records, a new label that was working to keep hard rock bands on the scene. In 1995, they finally released Fear No Evil. Despite little success in the United States, the album did well in Japan. Guitarist Dave Marshall (ex-Vince Neil band) had to fill in for Kelly at times, due to his legal problems. Kelly's legal troubles ended and the band committed to their next album. In 1997, they followed it with Revolution. The album featured a more eclectic and psychedelic sound, but failed to make an impact. On February 5, 1998, tragedy struck when guitarist Tim Kelly was killed in an auto accident in the Arizona desert. This deeply affected the band, but they were committed to continue with the band. Dave Marshall briefly performed as a touring guitarist for Slaughter in Japan. In 1998, they hired Jeff Blando as Kelly's replacement and began working on their next album. A live album titled Eternal Live was released featuring some of the band's last performances with Kelly.In 1999, they resurged with Back to Reality, featuring Blando as the new guitarist. Blando was previously in Left For Dead and Saigon Kick. Slaughter continues to play many rock package tours with other acts that saw prominence during the glam era of the 1980s and early 1990s. During the summer of 1999, while on its own "Rock Never Stops Tour" (which included Ted Nugent and Night Ranger), Slaughter enjoyed a brief commercial resurgence, with the "#1 Track" on the VH-1 CD "Power Ballads" with "Fly To The Angels", "Up All Night" became the "#1 Track" on Rhino Records "Hard Hitters," and also took part in the Summer 2000 "Poison, Cinderella, Dokken and Slaughter" tour.In 2001, Slaughter was a part of the "Voices of Metal" tour featuring Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe, Ratt, and Vixen. Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum's former Vinnie Vincent Invasion band mate Bobby Rock played as a touring drummer for Slaughter, filling in for Blas Elias on some shows of the Rock Never Stops Tour. In April 2004, Slaughter released a DVD-A entitled Then and Now that features 12 songs and 50 rare photos of the band over the years. Slaughter also released a DVD that features all of the music videos and behind the scenes footage during the 2004 season. On July 13, 2007, Slaughter performed at glam metal festival Rocklahoma.

Album:

Stick It to Ya is the debut album from hard rock band Slaughter. It was released in 1990 by Chrysalis Records. It sold over 2 million copies and became one of the biggest CDs of 1990. "Up All Night"(#27), "Fly to the Angels"(#19) & "Spend My Life"(#39) all charted in the Top 40 on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 and their videos were in solid rotations on the various music television outlets. "Mad About You" also received considerable airplay on Album Rock stations as the band toured to support the release. The LP was also nominated for a best metal album of the year at the 1991 American Music Awards show. Music videos were made for the singles "Up All Night", "Fly to the Angels", "Spend My Life", and "Mad About You".Slaughter formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, in late 1988 out of the ashes of lead vocalist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum’s previous band, Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Vinnie Vincent Invasion’s record company, Chrysalis Records, took the $4 million contract away from Vinnie Vincent for over-exceeding his credit line with the label, and transferred the contract to former members Slaughter and Strum.By 1989, Slaughter and Strum completed the lineup by recruiting lead guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias.Produced by Mark Slaughter & Dana Strum, Slaughter debut album “Stick It to Ya” sold over 2 million copies and became one of the biggest CDs of 1990, with three singles in the Top 40 and their videos in solid rotation on the various music television outlets.The LP was also nominated for a Best Metal Album of the Year at the 1991 American Music Awards show.Their success may have seemed to happen overnight, but as far as the band was concerned, it came as the result of plenty of hard work.What made Slaughter work as unit was the songwriting of Mark and Dana, and most of it still stands up. A lot of this material — straight up melodic hard rock with a little flourish — is solid and consistent.The late Tim Kelly on guitar drives these tracks never pretending to be a great soloist, but making up with dedication and commitment what he lacks in virtuosity. Mark Slaughter’s raspy, higher-pitched vocals are pleasingly distinctive, while Blas Elias on drums and Dana Strum on the bass provide a thumping foundation to build on.The anthemic “Up All Night”, the killer “Eye To Eye”, “Desperately”, “Mad About You” and the great, atmospheric ballad “Fly To The Angels” (with solid lyrics above the average for this kind of songs) are my favorites.Speaking about the bonus tracks; “Fly to the Angels [Acoustic Version]” and “Wingin’ It” were included on the original CD release too, but not the cassette or LP versions of “Stick It To Ya”. “Wingin’ It” is an accapella joke tune, only a minute in length, but absolutely hilarious to this day. I wish the album had been re-sequenced so that it still closes the album, as this is an obvious closer.After that, there are four demos. These demos are remarkable in how fully realized they are. The songs were slightly changed later for the definitive versions.More than ‘just another hair metal band’, Slaughter showcased more substance above the average on their debut “Stick It to Ya”, arguably the last melodic hard / hair metal band to make it big before the grunge dark age.This remaster delivers the songs fuller and clear, and for sure it’s the definitive version of this really strong record.A must have in your US Melodic Hard Rock collection.

Album:

SLAUGHTER‘s Japanese-only released EP “Hard Times” includes the single taken from the full length plus 3 non-album songs as bonus tracks, all recorded during the same sessions in 1994 – their record label dropped the band and the release resulted mere than a year delayed.But well worth the wait, as Fear No Evil is one of SLAUGHTER’s best, more diverse and mature albums.This “Hard Times” release should work as single as includes the title track and ‘Searchin’, both taken from the main album, but collectors and fans of the band / genre will be delighted by the bonus tracks exclusives to this out-of-print CD.Among these is a great cover of Elton John’s classic ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’ done in a rocking way with sharp guitars.‘Knows How To Rumble’ is really cool party rocking tune, classic SLAUGHTER with driving riffs, tongue-in-cheek vocals, a catchy chorus and of course, cowbell.The other bonus, ‘Rain On’, is quite different – showcasing how the band explored other territories still faithful to themselves. The song is a dense midtempo with vibrant guitars / atmosphere, with a bluesy feeling but ‘on acid’. Really cool hearing SLAUGHTER doing a song like this one. Listen it with headphones and be rolled by the multi-track, crazy left-right guitar pan / mix.Rare and good EP from one of the most underrated melodic hard rock bands, and complements nicely the “Fear No Evil” album.

Line-Up:

Mark Slaughter – Lead Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards
Dana Strum – Bass, Backing Vocals
Tim Kelly – Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals
Blas Elias – Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals

Tracklist:

01. Hard Times
02. Searchin’
