So what you're saying is I should order The Lizard by Saigon Kick from Utopia Records so I can have it here in West Australia? Great idea. I like Hostile Youth!

Man, that's a tough take! I adore the old Whitesnake. Try the Live In The Heart Of The City album over any of the studio albums any day.

Personally, I've never been a major Whitesnake fan. I love '81s Come And Get It then skip to '84s Slide It In and of course '87 and Slip Of The Tongue. Everything else is hit or miss. Mostly miss with weak songs or subpar cover songs. Even the early versions of "Here I Go Again" or "Crying In The Rain" don't cut it after hearing '87.

You wierdo, haha.

Debut album was an absolute masterpiece. I’ve always wondered to myself if I was the only person who caught The Beatles sound. Excellent video and thank you for giving this band some love.

Great band.

Guru, you have no blues in your soul. But I half agree with you - Whitesnake started at The Ready & Willing album.

I tried to like their old stuff, I found it okay. Slide it in is where they start crankin out bangers for me though

Should I go see them at a small local club on Feb. 13th?

Like the show. Although I do have The Lizard, I never really got into their music. Hostile Youth is one badass song tho !! Keep the content coming Guru & take care.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry for you. I like old, mid and newer Whitesnake. One of my favorite bands …

This album helped me get through the writing and research process of my senior Economics thesis over the course of my senior year in 1994-1995. I’d pop this tape into my boom box, hit play, and get to work writing on my Apple Macintosh (remember those?). The Lizard holds a very special place in my heart for all the fond memories and long hours spent listening to that album front to back that academic year.

Yea, if you're not into bluesy music, the old Whitesnake stuff is not gonna be appealing. The older Whitesnake stuff is bigger in the UK, but I'll take the US version of Slide it In and the 87 album any day

I have several songs from #TheLizard thumbed but not 'Love is on the Way' :D Not sure I want to thumb it now I have listened again, either :D

You know what… it’s so hard to get a hit… even if my band only got one song on the chart and it was a ballad I’d still be ecstatic about it… they certainly were better than what they got though

Cool. I have #TheLizard CD as part of my work desk wall, right in front of me right now. A few of these on the verge bands got lumped into hair metal but were a lot more. Even Ugly Kid Joe. Warrior Soul (Stooge-like riffs) and I Mother Earth even copped such treatment.

Nice to see some love for Saigon Kick, one of my favorite bands from that period. Water had weird stuff on it, but it grew on me over the years. Devil In the Details is really good and deserves more attention. When I saw them at L’Amour in Brooklyn , a band called T-Ride opened for them and killed. That’s a band you should check out. They only had one release, but they were unique.

You should at least give Saints and Sinners a chance, it's kind of like a bridge between the old stuff and Slide It In on up.

Lol 😂 yes!!!

Cool interview. Saw these guys on the tour in support of the first record at a place called Fat Jaks in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Loved this band back then.

I had a song free with kerrang or metal hammer. '' What do you do? '' that was a good song at the time. It had a bit of attitude.

Check out the BLOODY MESS album Dark Daze Unfazed! He does a tribute song to Michael Monroe that i think everyone watching this channel will love ! The album also features members of The Plasmatics.

Definitely a chameleon band. Very mal-defined due to their big hit.

Spot on with your assessment of Saigon Kick… I grew up near Tampa, FL and the local radio station helped break them back around 1991… That same station also helped break Sleez Beez… their video for Stranger Than Paradise was filmed at the Tampa Theatre… cheers!

I've gone to see Lillian live since the Circus Comes to Town days, pre-record label. Hands down, still my favorite band.

Ok Man im starting to think We are ALOT alike!! Wow i LOVE SAIgon kick!!! Other than lillian axe they were my fav. And wow the Lizard and Water i Love those Albums

Another cool episode bud. Hey, I'm sure they have an album called 'Devil In The Detail's" released in 1995

I always liked What You Say since I saw the video on HBB back in the day.

I love SAIGON KICK!!! I've seen them live many times. I'm going to see the "Water 30th anniversary" show in February at the Whiskey. Great band!!!

Finally got to watch the whole interview, that was top notch! It was awesome hearing all those amazing Lillian Axe stories from Steve!

This was like watching the Trump, Rogan interview.. Couldn't finish it at once but knew I would watch it all when time permitted. Thanks guys. Legendary. Always hoped for a Stryper, Lillian show.

Spot on! Saigon Kick had so many different sounds, Atlantic Records had no idea how to market them. Songs like Hostile Youth, What You Say, and One Step Closer are so good, it's unfortunate that the ballads were pushed more heavily by the label, even though they are good ballads. Warrior Soul is another major label band that I wish would have been marketed better from that time period.

Great interview

Soo many good songs on Womb..golden dragon and feelings of Absynth my 2 favorites

What a nice guy! And great interview Guru!!!

Excellent interview, been a Lillian Axe listener since the 80's until today. Have got to meet Steve multiple times and is always great with the people.

🤣 But hey, sleeping with a dog is the best. I miss it.

i'm overjoyed to see that both of you got to speak with the man who created years of musical enjoyment, and the soundtrack to so many of your memories. he was fantastic to take the time, go in-depth, and answer the questions that you have had for years. what a moment, and i hope you both savor it for a long time. i'd love to have that moment with a lot of artists, especially snake and rachel. would love to hear the stories behind a lot of the songs they created. great work guys!

Great interview Gentleman, and Steve!!! I still contend that Grunge did not kill the 80’s Metal scene, I think MTV and radio stations did and not sure why but that’s my gut feeling. I think Steve confirmed that that very few 90’s bands touring compared to 80’s metal.

I'm so glad the Guru is a Saigon Kick fan, I was actually gonna ask one day for an album ranking of their albums haha

It hurts my soul a little to see how great things used to be. Damn I'm old

Kind of a shame a band this versatile would get lumped into a dying genre. They truly are great. Man I gotta revisit water, I didnt even know they changed vocalists.

Look at the Guru's eyes light up when Steve mentions 'The Day I Met You'. I have heard him talk about this song before :)

I must admit, I know the name, but I heard nothing of these guys in Australia. I saw them mentioned in metal mags in the day, but never saw their vids or heard their songs when I was into this stuff. I have since listened to a few songs and think I had better take a deeper dive. Steve comes across as a genuine dude and this was great listening/viewing. His analogies are fantastic! Not much of an 'interview' - you guys had trouble getting questions in - Steve just went with it and was so open and kept going. Congrats on the channel and well done. 7Rock

Lmfao! 😂😂😂😂

This was the best interview I have ever seen regarding Lillian Axe. The most in depth complete history of this band. The 1st mention of origins when Stiff members joined the band. So Midwest musicians joined this New Orleans songwriter/musician to put out music that was way ahead of alot of music being released at the time!

Me too!!

Really enjoyed this video, love the format. This is what I want to hear about on UA-cam, what other people think about music that I think about. Great stuff.

Great interview! I play in a band with Steve and I learned new things about him from this interview. He is exactly as you see him in this interview. He is an inspiring human being and has made me a better musician since I started playing music with him.

Stevie blaze is a favorite of mine for many years
