Great White - The Angel Song

Great White is an American hard rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1978. The band gained popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s.

The band reached their peak popularity with the album ...Twice Shy in 1989.

Van Halen live '1979 Dance The Night Away

"Dance the Night Away" was Van Halen's first top 20 U.S. hit, peaking at #15, and the second song from their 1979 album Van Halen II. While the rest of the songs from this album had existed in some way, shape or form since their days doing demos and playing clubs, this song was possibly the only song written during the recording sessions for the album. Having become a hit in July 1979, the band conceived the song during the recording sessions while the band members were standing in a circle humming to each other. It was inspired by Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way". Eddie Van Halen purposely left a guitar solo out of the final version of the song, replacing it instead with a riff of Tap Harmonics. David Lee Roth originally wanted to call the song "Dance Lolita Dance", but Eddie convinced him that "Dance the Night Away" was more suitable and the chorus was changed to reflect that.^[1]

David Lee Roth claimed, during a rant in a 2006 performance in San Diego, California, that he wrote this song in tribute to an intoxicated woman who was having sex in the back of a truck and ran with her pants on backwards into the bar where the fledgling band was playing to escape police officers. This was also mentioned at a 2006 performance in Detroit, Michigan.

9/03/2009 1986 - Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive

"Wanted Dead or Alive" is a song from Bon Jovi's 1986 album Slippery When Wet.



The video for the song is black and white and features footage from the band's massive 1986-1987 world tour, including shots from Chicago's UIC Pavilion, Rochester, Minnesota's Mayo Civic Center, and other venues. The video strongly captures the grueling life-on-the-road feeling, with several shots of the exhausted band members on their mammoth 1986-87 Slippery When Wet World Tour.

The audio for the video is slightly different from the one on the album - specifically at the end, where instead of Jon singing "I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side, I'm wanted dead or alive," the music simply fades out.
