Cut the Fat - Number 6

Let's continue to Cut the Fat. Yesterday, we discussed Motley Crue's Red, White & Crue and I admitted that I think "Use It Or Lose It" is, well, fat. Some of you agreed, others didn't and basically we had an awesome discussion. Let's keep it going. Today, let's Cut the Fat from Slaughter's Stick It To Ya.

Oh I how I love Stick It To Ya. I mean, it's sort of a perfect Glam record...and Slaughter brought us "Fly to the Angels" which might be one of the best songs...ever. But, there's one dud on the band's debut. Some fat: "Loaded Gun."

"Loaded Gun" is sort of a debacle. I think it's sort of an homage to Kix in the song's structure and Mark Slaughter's phrasing, but man. I don't get it. You've got "Up All Night," "Burnin' Bridges," "Fly to the Angels, "Mad About You" and then..."Loaded Gun." 

I can't listen to "Loaded Gun" anymore because it's so evident Mark is just shredding his vocal chords for no reason. The weird talking over the track is distracting and the guitar parts are ho-hum. I think Stick It To Ya would be stronger without "Loaded Gun."
