Gorky Park - Stumbled across these guys on YouTube...had totally forgotten about them (80's hair)

Really weird to see how much their sound changed over a short number of years..lol

I never got into them back in the day, but had this on the "Stairway to Heaven/Highway to Hell" compilation.

I had the full-length cd with the "Bang" song on it for several years back in the early 90's.  It disappeared from some reason...or maybe I just lost it in a move or something.  Would like to pick up a used copy if I can find it for a decent price.  I remember liking quite a bit of that album, but never heard anything else.

I was never a huge fan either, but I loved Bang and this song.

The video you posted has excerpts from them playing at the Moscow Peace Festival.

That was actually how I found out about them back then

Funny thing, I used to have it and don't know what happened to mine either.

I sold all of my hair band cds back in the mid 90's..but it was gone before that.

Hmm....maybe the discs were simply a disguise for a Soviet spy device, and when we weren't looking, they self destructed after collecting all the info they could....mission complete, comrade

Or maybe we're just careless...


I don't know....the Soviet spy device makes for a better conversation though

I'm totally going to believe the Soviet spy device angle... it sounds a whole lot better than "Um, I lost it".

Yes, yes it does

I remember due to the Peace Fest too. My guess was they heard Hysteria and took that sound.

So question for you..since you remember the Peace Fest also.... 

I remember plain as day, working on a Sunday at Silo while we had this playing on a big screen with the Bose AM5 speakers blaring. At the time I was in my early 20's and worked in the Audio Department along with a couple of other early 20 somethings, and we all loved hair metal.

Yet everything I read says it was pay per view on MTV...

I don't remember us paying to watch it...

How about you?

I didn't see it live, had to watch it later, but I read all about it when it happened.
