30 years old. WOW.

Unhappy with the sound of their latest album, Ian, Billy, & Jamie wanted something a little heavier. They ended up connecting with a little known hip-hop producer who just finished producing at the time a small thrash metal band's album Reign in Blood. So they went back into the studio with this new producer and released a stripped down hard rock album with a pounding definitive drumbeat.



Wildflower

Peace Dog

Lil Devil

Aphrodisiac Jacket

Bad Fun

King Contrary Man

Love Removal Machine

Born to be Wild

Outlaw

Memphis Hip Shake

In support of the album, early 87 they opened for Billy Idol. But by mid summer they were headlining with an opening band called Guns-n-Roses.

This album was pretty much my party anthem through high school.

My first comment upon hearing just the music and not knowing who was playing: "When did AC/DC get a new singer?"

What an awesome album! I assumed that you would start this thread today

I remember being a little shocked at the first listen, because it was so different from Love. Once I got over that, it became one of my favorite albums of all time.
I also enjoy the original Manor Sessions version of the album. Both albums rock in different ways

1987 was the best year of music EVER
