Free Music Notes for No Respect
Free Music Review: An all-time rock classic worth six stars
Hit: 5 Stars
"No Respect" is a brilliant rock album that will knock you over. The lyrics are straight from life. Davy Vain's vocals are pure and commanding, carrying easily across a big hall. Band play is disciplined and solid with impeccable tempo. The guitars are more than adequate, with exceptionally good rhythm guitar support. For those who like it heavier than Led Zeppelin, this is it. Hard to get, this album is bound to become a cherished collector's item: Rather than sell used, we, Vain fans, will keep playing it...Free Music Review: It's a shame
Hit: 3 Stars
It's a shame that this band came out near the end of teh heavy metal era. For their 1st album it was very good. I would have loved to see what they could have done on their 2nd & 3rd albums while metal was hot. Free Music Review: Excellent historical record
Hit: 5 Stars
The best "sleaze rock" album ever recorded in my opinion. When it came out, though, I used to always wonder how long it took these guys to get dressed and made up and if they slept (or passed out) with their makeup and jewelry on.Free Music Review: One of the most overlooked bands of all-time
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard about Davy Vain from the band Death Angel. He produced their incredible "Frolic through the Park" album, and after a show in Cincinnati, DA guitarist Rob Cavestany told me that I would be floored when "No Respect" hit the streets. He wasn't kidding.
To call Vain "glam" really doesn't do them justice. From a strict musical standpoint, they were far more talented and diverse than most of the metal bands who were around in the late 1980s. They weren't gimmicky, which probably contributed to their lack of record sales. If they had simplified it a bit, like maybe Warrant or Britny Fox for example, they probably would have sold millions of records. They were too good for their own good. And their live show was outstanding, too.
The only negative thing about "No Respect" is the occasionally cheesy lyrics. To this day, I can't listen to the chorus of "Aces" without laughing.
I still have an original copy of this on CD (vinyl, too), and I listen to it at least every couple of weeks. It has definitely stood the test of time.
Free Music Review: A album that deserves respect from a veteran producer.
Hit: 4 Stars
Yes before fronting his own band in 1989 Davy Vain was a producer for the group Death Angel. Here he unleashes his passion which is glam rock compared to the thrash metal he produced for Death Angel. It starts off on the right foot with "Secrets", and then continues the momentum with "Beat The Bullet", it drops off with the next song, and I wish not to remember it as it was just horrible, but then it makes up for it rather well with "1,000 Degrees", "Aces" is o.k., but it's not really a worthy hit, the next song IS!!!!! My favorite "Smoke And Shadows" it's probably one of the darkest songs I have ever heard. I feel that the second side was a bit hit and miss "Down For The Third Time" is worthy of mentioning though. They were supposed to release thier second album in 1991, but then of course "Along Comes Nirvana", and all of a sudden glam is slammed, so Vain walks away in vain, and not gaining any respect. I'm sure that the faithful are out there to keep the name alive, but if not please Trivial Pursuit don't forget them.
