As much as I love them, I very much doubt they would have been huge considering that Joels previous band Cats in boots were very similar, and that got a lot of promotion and still did not make it big.Was even on a big label as well and their worldwide debut was released in 1989 a year after their Japanese only EP/album. Heavy Bones got zero promotion and I didn't even find out they existed til about 7 or 8 years after the album came out. A band is never gonna have success if the record label does nothing to promote them.
SabuPtolemy it´s quite sad actually , these bands from the 80´s had a lot of talent and a great musicianship , i´m 100% sure i was born in the wrong era ´cause 80´s Hard Rock and classical music is all i listen to :)
Phoenix Van Wyden I agree, i was born in the wrong decade. 80s was an amazing era music wise, i still come along discovering new bands everyday on u tube, just shows how much talent there was through out 80s early 90s.
The same happens to me , i´m always being amazed by the talent of the 70´s and 80´s bands , great levels of musicianship , i wish there were a few bands like these today ... we´re part of the minority of young people today who love this type of music :)
The sad thing is, for what i´ve been hearing and discovering the late 80´s had some really good bands that could´ve shaped the 90´s sound , Tora Tora , Wild side ,Badlands and many more , i wish these bands had stayed , we could be still listening to some great music today
This rocks!!! Bought this when it came out in '92. Gary Hoey is such an awesome guitarist, met him after one of his shows in Colorado Springs, Co. back in '97. I remember when Joel fronted Cats n' Boots, and of course everyone knows the man behind the drum kit Mr. Frankie Banali..............another awesome band!
I've said it before...and i'll say it again...the late 80's early 90's Hair Metal scene was amazing...sure so many bands you've probably never heard of, but so many labels were signing and releasing stuff that there was a gluttony of product...much garbage...but, a Slew of Kick Ass stuff...Heavy Bones for one...Trouble Tribe, Sleeze Beez, Princess Pang, Bad4Good, SouthGang, Slik Toxik, Sven Gali, Harem Scarem, Saints & Sinners, Beau Nasty, Dirty Looks, Cry Wolf, Electric Angels, Electric Boys, Johnny Crash, McQueen Street, Wildside and many many more...ROCK ON!!! \m/ \m/
Joel Ellis from cats in boots on vocals, I've always said if this was released in 87 or 88 they would have been around way longer. CATS IN BOOTS RULED TOO
Back when this came out, there was this song "4AM TM" which had lyrics of "another memory's callin" and another song was mainstream by Trouble called "Memory's Garden". Both GREAT rock/metal songs, but always got the two confused. Loved the 80's / 90's music (ROCK). \\m//
Your description is almost too simple, lol. I do have to agree, his ferocity is both spectacular and chronologically perfect. At the very least, I would bet they wished they HAD paid him back!!
This song was always playing on VH1 when I got up in the morning which got me moving. RIP Frankie. Things worked out for Gary he surprisingly had a lot of success during the grunge Era.
The band members are: ex Cats In Boots singer Joel Ellis, Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali, guitar player extraordinaire Gary Hoey and ex Hellion bassist Rex Tennyson.
I saw these guys by happenstance at the Marquee club in So Cal....loved 'em. I don't think they split 'cause they couldn't get along. I think it was because they were lumped in with all of the "dime a dozen" crappy bands that were out there at the time........as a matter of fact I ran into Frankie Banali (the drummer) a few years ago, and he told me it was "a great band at the wrong time........" Anyway, awesome video, I had never seen it, have to go dig out my CD now and have a listen!
Discovered this band by accident in bout 96. Had bought the tape just because the cover art. Loved the whole tape and now have the cd and love listening to it from beginning to end. Favorite songs are Anna and Where Eagles Fly
This song is amazing! Where the hell was I when this group came out?? I thought I knew every 80's hair metal band out there..sorry i missed these guys..would love to hear the rest of this !
i think this is one of the best stage playing video ever!! only one camera goin around capturing the musicians in amore natural way than the high speed images you always get in videos..and the song always made me bang my head!!
Had my auto play on cleaning the house, I'm thought I had heard all the Crue tunes, ahh maybe a Vince Neil solo project, slide over to see, nope. Very kool
great track great underrated band. I just found this album going through things the other day. I had forgotten i owned it what a killer album /,,/ /,,/
only recently came across this band on a website called HEAVY HARMONIES it reviews every hard rock/aor band & album from A-Z check it out its excellent they even have sample songs on some albums too
Only saw this a few years ago. Didn't know Gary hoey's name, only that this dude made that guitar howl and growl. Knew the drummer immediately from the metal health album by quiet riot. Killer singer and bass. Like it's been said, just hit the scene about 6 years too late. A real shame...
Well it's four in the mornin' My ol' lady's snorin' Outside it's rainin' and pourin' And I need some affection To fuel my resurrection So I contemplate with silent intention... Suddenly my mind is not my own And I'm falling I can see through the door Another memory's Calling... yes it's calling Then I see In the night she comes to sweep-a-me Off my feet All hell fire couldn't make her a liar In the moonlight charity's balling Through the door another memory's calling Whoa! Holy Moses It must have been hypnosis I woke up in a bed full of roses And it's hardly accidental In fact I'm slightly mental My thoughts have all become Transcendental Suddenly my mind is not my own And I'm falling I can see through the door Another memory's Calling... yes it's calling Then I see In the night she comes to sweep-a-me Off my feet All hell fire couldn't make her a liar In the moonlight charity's balling Through the door another memory's calling All hell fire couldn't make her a liar Through the door another memory's calling Hear me calling Hear me calling Hear me calling
First time I saw this video was on Headbanger's Ball. I had too much to drink and was puking when it was on, so whenever I hear this song I feel slightly ill... :) (Smooth Up by Bulletboys was on after it, so same effect) It rocks that someone FOUND it, can't find this song ANYWHERE!
this song just like maybe a few months bach on vh1 they started to play this song.then they took it off wtf.we need to bring good rock n roll back to usa
Formed by former Cats In Boots vocalist Joel Ellis and Gary Hoey in the early 90's. They recruited Rex Tennyson (bass, ex-Hellion) and Frankie Banali (drums,Quiet Riot). They recorded their debut with famed producer and session guitarist Richie Zito, but by 1992 the music scene wasn't very kind to sleazy metal bands. The video for 4:AM T.M. saw very limited airplay and the album shamefully sunk without a trace. Hoey would resume his solo career and Banali re-teamed with the revamped Quiet Riot.

damn, if this band came out just a few years earlier than when they released their first album in 1992, they could have been huge.
As much as I love them, I very much doubt they would have been huge considering that Joels previous band Cats in boots were very similar, and that got a lot of promotion and still did not make it big.Was even on a big label as well and their worldwide debut was released in 1989 a year after their Japanese only EP/album.
Heavy Bones got zero promotion and I didn't even find out they existed til about 7 or 8 years after the album came out. A band is never gonna have success if the record label does nothing to promote them.
RIP Frankie !! Thanks for those thundering memories !
This is a great album from beginning to end.
I can't understand WHY these guys weren't that popular, Joel Ellis had the most amazing voice, and he was drop dead gorgeous!!!! Such a handsome man.
Shame :-( ... Yet i was born in The wrong decade, im going back listening to 80s-90s as the music now compared back then is embarrassing.
SabuPtolemy it´s quite sad actually , these bands from the 80´s had a lot of talent and a great musicianship , i´m 100% sure i was born in the wrong era ´cause 80´s Hard Rock and classical music is all i listen to :)

This is the kind the music the media doesn't want you to listen. It's too good.
Exactly
🤘Rock in peace Frankie Banali thanks for rockin us all!
One of the best hard rock songs ever. I've never heard of them.
Exactly they are amazing I love them and I had never heard of them until recently 😮
This rocks!!! Bought this when it came out in '92. Gary Hoey is such an awesome guitarist, met him after one of his shows in Colorado Springs, Co. back in '97. I remember when Joel fronted Cats n' Boots, and of course everyone knows the man behind the drum kit Mr. Frankie Banali..............another awesome band!
+Racine Evans Shotgun SAlly
Motley in Chains!! That's the vibe and sound I've always heard in Heavy Bones! And that's an awesome sound in my opinion!
Unmistakable. This guy used to sing for Cats in Boots, didn't he? Wicked!
Trevor Duplessis yup, heavy bones was way more fine tuned
@Ari Awan Cats in boots!
I've said it before...and i'll say it again...the late 80's early 90's Hair Metal scene was amazing...sure so many bands you've probably never heard of, but so many labels were signing and releasing stuff that there was a gluttony of product...much garbage...but, a Slew of Kick Ass stuff...Heavy Bones for one...Trouble Tribe, Sleeze Beez, Princess Pang, Bad4Good, SouthGang, Slik Toxik, Sven Gali, Harem Scarem, Saints & Sinners, Beau Nasty, Dirty Looks, Cry Wolf, Electric Angels, Electric Boys, Johnny Crash, McQueen Street, Wildside and many many more...ROCK ON!!! \m/ \m/
Im glad ive got all the bands you mentioned
This gem went under the radar ...was over looked among the plethora of hair metal bands when it was released....but still have it on cd format
Joel Ellis from cats in boots on vocals, I've always said if this was released in 87 or 88 they would have been around way longer. CATS IN BOOTS RULED TOO
This band and song are amazing. How come they weren't famous or in the charts I've only just come across them
the best video ,one camera and a kickin ass band wit a kickin ass song!
love this album. bought it cheap at a 2nd hand store in bout 97. too bad they didn't make any other albums
I remember seeing this video on MTV when I came out. What a badass tune. I didn't realize it was Frankie playing drums til later on.
Good music and excellent singing ... :-)
Back when this came out, there was this song "4AM TM" which had lyrics of "another memory's callin" and another song was mainstream by Trouble called "Memory's Garden". Both GREAT rock/metal songs, but always got the two confused. Loved the 80's / 90's music (ROCK). \\m//
holy shit i just looked at that album by trouble and its sick as hell. that 80s heavy metal sound with a 90s spin on it sounds fucking awesome
Frankie is AWESOME on those drums.... beating them like they owe him money! :)
Your description is almost too simple, lol. I do have to agree, his ferocity is both spectacular and chronologically perfect. At the very least, I would bet they wished they HAD paid him back!!
hes slapping them like theyre his submissive girlfriend

I bought that album when it came out...still one of my top favorite rock albums. I agree...they were really good!
Really cool song and very well-made video - just one long tracking shot. Impressive.
I saw these guys by happenstance at the Marquee club in So Cal....loved 'em.
I don't think they split 'cause they couldn't get along. I think it was because they were lumped in with all of the "dime a dozen" crappy bands that were out there at the time........as a matter of fact I ran into Frankie Banali (the drummer) a few years ago, and he told me it was "a great band at the wrong time........"
Anyway, awesome video, I had never seen it, have to go dig out my CD now and have a listen!
Frankie Banalli kicking ass on the drums
Discovered this band by accident in bout 96. Had bought the tape just because the cover art. Loved the whole tape and now have the cd and love listening to it from beginning to end. Favorite songs are Anna and Where Eagles Fly
Used to crank this one up daily back in the day. 🍺
Gary Hoey on guitar . And Joel Ellis formerly of cats in boots.
That Cats debut was some good shit !
These guys were one kickass band....Joel Ellis, Gary Hoey, Rex Tennyson, & Frankie Banali.
All songs on this album is awesome !!!!
I grew up in the 80's. I love hair metal. The closest band to hair metal right now is Crash Diet.
Check Crazy Lixx , they´re very good
Phoenix van der Weyden crazy lixx is probably the best of the new wave glam metal
This is some heavy shit; it fuckin' blew my mind.
Thanks for sharing this! Heavy Bones were great.
The good ol'days when you had to know how to play to be in a band...
How Hoey and the boys didnt make it big time is a shame. Thats good METAL!!
Oh man if only they would have came out in the 80's. They are so tight and the lead singer is amazing.
Loved this album 1st play through and was hooked! @gudalpeseanz great times dictate the music to go hand in hand!! Thx for the upload @jamsonic1
RIP great Frankie!!!
R.I.P Frankie ...great drummer...
Great Camera Work on this Video!
Excellent Rocker of a song 🤙😎The whole band kicksASS👍🤟🤘🤙😎😎😎
This song is amazing! Where the hell was I when this group came out?? I thought I knew every 80's hair metal band out there..sorry i missed these guys..would love to hear the rest of this !
I got to see them live. A little club in Orange County off the 405. One of the best albums of the 90's.
This is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank u God for making me born in 1977. So I went HS in early-mid 1990s
i think this is one of the best stage playing video ever!! only one camera goin around capturing the musicians in amore natural way than the high speed images you always get in videos..and the song always made me bang my head!!
Had my auto play on cleaning the house, I'm thought I had heard all the Crue tunes, ahh maybe a Vince Neil solo project, slide over to see, nope. Very kool
This song rules all!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man, a prime example of a Gary Hoey guitar solo. Just awesome.
i heard this song on the radio like 30 yrs ago and it just popped into my head somehow. it killed me to figure out what it was. now ive found it.
great track great underrated band. I just found this album going through things the other day. I had forgotten i owned it what a killer album /,,/ /,,/
He's not quit a household name, but Hoey has a solo career with a major fan following. He's still playing many shows and releasing new albums.
Cats N Boots lead singer,..Quiet Riot Drummer
Rock on!! Heavy Bones
Generation X jamming to this on March 9, 2021. Who's with me?
Especially when I found out it was Gary Hoey playing the guitar. He is still one of the greatest!
Great band.
RIP Frank....Gary and joey you guys rock
only recently came across this band on a website called HEAVY HARMONIES it reviews every hard rock/aor band & album from A-Z check it out its excellent they even have sample songs on some albums too
I never realized Gary Hoey was in this band!
Que hermosura de tema esta canciones me hacen fuerteeeee larga vida al heavy metal !!!
Bien ahi jaja descubrí este tema por recomendación de UA-cam y es el único video hecho en una toma que vi en mi vida ...sos Argentino?
Love these heavy bones

I just read on SleezeRoxx that Joel Ellis, his son and company plan on getting Heavy Bones back together this summer.
This is gonna kick alot of ass.
Great band not many people ever knew about.
KILLER solo section!
"It's 4 in the Mornin' my old lady's Snorin' " ..... I'm TF Outta' Here !
Never heard of this Band till last Year Good band think there Name may have been an issue with going nowhere
RIP Frankie! 🙏🥁

Sounds like Alice in Chains meets Quiet Riot.
TPBass1224 sounds nothing like Alice in Chains
Well it's four in the mornin'
My ol' lady's snorin'
Outside it's rainin' and pourin'
And I need some affection
To fuel my resurrection
So I contemplate with silent intention...
Suddenly my mind is not my own
And I'm falling
I can see through the door
Another memory's
Calling... yes it's calling
Then I see
In the night she comes to sweep-a-me
Off my feet
All hell fire couldn't make her a liar
In the moonlight charity's balling
Through the door another memory's calling
Whoa! Holy Moses
It must have been hypnosis
I woke up in a bed full of roses
And it's hardly accidental
In fact I'm slightly mental
My thoughts have all become
Transcendental
Suddenly my mind is not my own
And I'm falling
I can see through the door
Another memory's
Calling... yes it's calling
Then I see
In the night she comes to sweep-a-me
Off my feet
All hell fire couldn't make her a liar
In the moonlight charity's balling
Through the door another memory's calling
All hell fire couldn't make her a liar
Through the door another memory's calling
Hear me calling
Hear me calling
Hear me calling
they rock
the bass player is carlo cavazos bratr,who was also in hurricane
Rocking!!! Love it!
First time I saw this video was on Headbanger's Ball. I had too much to drink and was puking when it was on, so whenever I hear this song I feel slightly ill... :) (Smooth Up by Bulletboys was on after it, so same effect)
It rocks that someone FOUND it, can't find this song ANYWHERE!
I love how they knock down the speakers. Now all they need is the drummer to "spontaniously combust"!
Love Gary Hoey.
best song
this song just like maybe a few months bach on vh1 they started to play this song.then they took it off wtf.we need to bring good rock n roll back to usa

Very 90 ish a lot of bands have the super clean drum production and heavy bass.
I had no idea that was Frankie Banali on drums!

Huge fan of this band! Never seen the video before today! Sucks they fade it down early as the album version has a killer ending.

The bass player was in Hellion and something else I think.
Love these guys 👍👍
@TheLegionsOfMetal - Frankie is a F'in beast on Crimson Idol!!!!! I listened to the ever livin shit outta this cassette
Joel ellis range voc is incredible...
