[2025] Tigertailz - Fighting Dirty (BLR)
Shocked and saddened to hear of the sad passing of Ace Finchum over the weekend. Steevi broke the news yesterday on his Facebook page and it's still hard to believe. I was living in a no nothing small Australian town when Young And Crazy came out and I felt like I was the only person who listened to Glam Metal/Glam Punk in a thousand miles. Music magazines like Kerrang, Metal Hammer, RIP and Circus etc were always 2 months out of date when I finally got a copy of them, and I had to order in all my records from Melbourne and Sydney. Those first two Tigertailz albums have been constantly played and well loved for over 35 years, and those records almost seem like family they've been with me so long. This compilation of B-Sides, Bonus Tracks and Demos has been in the works for a long time and covers the release of the first album. Just had to get in done finally as a small tribute. None of these are the remastered versions, so a couple of the demo tracks are from old bootleg collections and the quality does vary in a few places. Thoughts go to his family, friends and all us fans. Just very sad news.

Nice to see you pay tribute to TT
ReplyDeleteAnd taking the time to explain your view and and connection the band.
I’m self a longtime TT fan.
Saw them in London back in the hey days.
They always put up a show and Ace was off course a big part.
RIP Ace
