It would be a mistake to classify the quintet in the same drawer as the bands mentioned above. The little emperors gave up makeup, exaggerated much Hairspray and the presence in any Teeni booklet. Gloßflächige tattoos, jeans, black leather, slightly tomentose acting tunnel shaped the appearance of this troop, which was so quickly the image of a biker band, although their sound next to his bluesy rock elements always had a good dose of Soul. Little Caesar saw and see themselves more in the tradition of classic rock acts such as Humble Pie or Bad Company.
After a contribution to the 'Street Survivors' compilation published Ron Young (VOC), the lead guitarist Jimmy Hayne - only known by all Apache - Loren Molinare (git), Fidel Paniagua (b) and Tom Morris (dr) 1987 EP, Name Your Poison 'and collared a support slot for Jane's Addiction. They then took his time trendsetting label Geffen signed and presented them for the debut (Little Caesar / Influence) with Bob Rock (ROCK HEAD, METALLICA, Bon Jovi, The Cult, Motley Crue) a real star producers aside. The cover of Aretha Franklin's classic, Chain Of Fools 'rose at least one in the Billboard Hot 100 and the album had a colorful melange of fast rockers (, Down'N'Dirty' or 'Drive It Home'), by no means shallow ballads ( , From The Start ', Midtown') and class rock songs in midtempo range on that harsh organ and the strong guitars still remained surprisingly catchy and melodic despite Youngs.
Young then settled vermöbeln Schwarzenegger and remove his motorcycle to successfully toured and performed in various television shows in the opening sequence of 'Terminator 2' by Arnold. Apache got out, Earl Slick - a notable gain in the six strings, who had already served under John Waite, DIRTY WHITE BOY, John Lennon, David Bowie and Ian Hunter - a rose. The sequel to 'Influence' (Little Caesar / Influence) was the debut in every way and pointed stomping riff-rockers like, Stand Up 'and' Rum and Coke '; Mid-tempo numbers such as, Turn My World Around 'and' Slow Ride 'and the class ballads, Balllad of Johnny' and Ridin On 'on. But the market goutierte this venture and not according to Geffen refused further support. The group fell apart.
Young helped Slick at his solo opus In Your Face in some pieces on the mic, and then set up in 1994 with guitarist Adrian Vandenberg (Vandenberg WHITESNAKE), bassist Rudy Sarzo (QUIET RIOT, OZZY OSBOURNE, WHITESNAKE) and Haudrauf Tommy Aldridge (GARY MOORE, WHITESNAKE, THIN LIZZY) the supergroup Manic Eden. The four warriors were playing with the album an a real highlight in the field of bluesy melodic rock.
Little Caesar came in 2001 for some common live shows again to publish the third volume album on the scene at the end of 2009 with `Redemption 'almost in founding members.
It expect no major surprises and that's a good thing.
The combo increases with the good-humored, provided with Boogie bonds, Same Old Story 'courageous and spirited into the album. This Verve is taken directly into the second song, Supersonic ', in which the chorus sticks already in the first run in the ear canals. Even the third-Ling has with, Redemption 'and especially' This Was Yesterday, two more highly successful ballads. , Loving You Is Killing Me 'almost reminiscent of Robert Palmer to its strongest periods. , Witness Stand ',' Sick And Tired 'and `realrock Drive' march then in straighter rock style. `Every Picture Tells A Story 'comes then agile-cheerful and could therefore in a just world also quite airplay at least get in the Radio Classic Rock.
In short: The band has again put down a class album. Certainly here the rock history is not rewritten, but the troops know what it does best and provides unpretentious but with supreme ease. Who dead straight Hard appreciate rock with good melodies, blues elements and occasional Slide deposits, can safely access here.
