Kill For Thrills--Dynamite From Nightmareland

Kill For Thrills--Dynamite From Nightmareland (1990/MCA) Rating--5.3

This is Gilby Clarke's band before his little culmination with Guns N' Roses.
L.A. metal, but not all that sleazy. Somewhat along the lines of L.A. Guns, but not quite as heavy or distortion-biting. Decent overall... just nothing that is groundbreaking or truly standout. After a pretty good first half of selections, the tracks turn a bit flat.
A heavier rhythm feel makes "Something For the Suffering" a top spot, and the pickup and good chorus of "Brother's Eyes" does the same.
All of "Commercial Suicide," "Paisley Killers," and "Silver Bullets" have their moments, but the band (and its songs) just lacks too much bite to be competitive in this market-- especially at the time of release.
TRACK LIST: Motorcycle Cowboys/Commercial Suicide/Brother's Eyes/Paisley Killers/Something For the Suffering/Rockets/ Wedding Flowers/Ghosts and Flowers/My Addiction/Misery Pills/Silver Bullets
