Killer! I'd pay $100 to see that.

I'd be in line right behind Snoot! Amazing band. I'm one of the few that prefer the second album to the first.

Oh, man! Don't get me started on these guys! Absolutely one of my all-time faves! Saw 'em in '89 AND '90 at The Cat Club in NYC.

I'll never forget the 1st when The Black Crowes opened for them and Junkyard made The Crowes look like their bellhops.

Interesting to note Junkyard's D.C. Punk roots as the dual guitar attack was formed by two ex-members of two bands from the D.C. Hardcore Scene, Dag Nasty and Minor Threat. It's quite evident in their sound which is part Ramones, part ZZ Top with a Vince Neilesque sounding lead singer.

At one point during the 1st show, as the D.C. Boys who came up for the performance were swan diving off the rage into the moshpit that had formed in front of the stage, the lead singer, upon surveying the ensuing mayhem unfolding before him, sat down on the drum riser, calmly took a sip from his bottle of Bud and declared, "Yup, just good people having a good time."

Indeed, as the clips attest, it looks like the same held true at The Whisky that night. Let's hope it leads to more shows. Would have loved to have seen 'em on The Monsters of Rock Cruise, setting sale a week from tomorrow! Maybe next year!

You guys are all over it! I like their 2nd album better than the first and would love to see them on the Monsters of Rock cruise next week.

Sounds pretty amazing. Rock N Roll at its finest, the world needs more of it, I would've loved to be at that show. Sounds great.

Nice! Love me some Junkyard!!! Be honest, the first time you heard, "All the Time in the world", did you think the opening guitar riff sounded like the beginning of, "Cat Scratch Fever?" Great great music!

First time I heard simple man, I thought lynyrd skynyrd meets neil diamond...for very obvious reasons.

metalboy, where the hell do you get your information from, you always seem to have no idea what you are talking about. Why the hell would you ever bring Vince Neil's name around the crapfest that is called junkyard.

You are so fu<king clueless,
You sound like some idiot who stopped listening to glam metal for a while and then tried to act like you were a fan all along. You are a pathetic POS.

6's, 7's and 9's Great Album. Bob your dead on I think that was a borrowed lick but they put it to good use so I forgive them. I heard that plagiarism is one of the greatest compliments you can get. I always thought the singer had a great voice. I was listening to a live version of simple man earlier it is one of my favorites.

Tom keifer: welcome

I thought all I said was that the guy's voice is a bit of a Vince Neil knock off. To me that's a compliment. There's a reason I saw this band twice in a row. They kick a*s!

MB, Looks like you inherited my former "fans"... Which of course means you were absolutely correct to annoy them so.
