[Mister_Samsonite]

Love this band & album! I saw these guys on a triple bill with Tesla & Great White in 1989. Great White couldn't play because Jack Russell had laryngitis, but the other two acts played extra long sets to make up for it. What a fantastic concert!

[omarangeles]

One of my heroes of all time, was 14 at the time this came out and bands like
Badlands and guys like Ray turned my whole life around, and not just music wise but lifestyle wise and I thank the Man up above for introducing me to the best freaking and in your face genre that, to me, will ever exist, and of course I also thank him for putting people like Ray, we sure need many like you Big Ray, R.I.P mi hermano.

Absolute masterpiece! Rays vocals and Jake kills it !!!

Standin' here, I got my eye on you
Your story bleeds, but there's no review
Honey drip and set my soul on fire
Stealin' hearts got me walkin' the wire
You're gonna lose control
All night long
When I find my love, love, love
High wire
Flash a smile, like a shiny blade
Everyone there thinks ya got it made
Sorry, child, can you take me higher
But you keep me hangin' on your lonely wire
You're gonna lose control
All night long
When I find my love, love, love
High wire
Oh, feels so good
You give me lovin' like no one could
You turn me child, inside out
Still you leave me drownin' in a sea of doubt
You're gonna lose control
All night long
You're gonna steal my soul, mama
You can't go wrong
When I find my love, love, love
High wire
Love, love, love
Oh, sweet child, I know where you come from now
High wire, baby
Oh, oh, oh

That vocal at the end of the verses with that "LOVE LOVE rips my head off every damn time, and I Love it and the following crawling guitar riff that follows is classic bad
