Should've Been Huge...
Here's one for the "should've been huge file:" Spread Eagle. My Glam goodness they are great. In some ways, they are even better than Skid Row - and I think that's quite a bold statement.
I'm sure you're familiar with the band, but if not you should know Spread Eagle are from New York. Ray West (vocals), Rob De Luca (bass), Paul DiBartolo (guitar) and Tommi Gallo (drums) landed a deal with MCA around 1990. You can tell by that date that the band was just about D.O.A., a sad consequence of time and fate. While the music tides were turning, Spread Eagle were cranking out fabulous Glam -- songs that still stand up today.
If you own Spread Eagle's self-titled debut, consider yourself lucky. If not, you can purchase the reissue on Amazon.com.
