Biography:
Little Caesar seemed to have everything going for them. Signed to powerhouse Geffen Records at the height of the late-'80s hair metal craze; armed with a solid, Bob Rock-produced hard rock debut; and with wunderkind producer John Kalodner (the man responsible for Aerosmith's miraculous rebirth) guiding their career, the Los Angeles-based quintet was poised to ride the dependable, normally smooth-running Geffen production line on the fast-track to stardom. But there was one small problem: Little Caesar weren't the most handsome bunch. Ugly? These guys were scary even by heavy metal standards. Grimy-haired, covered in tattoos, and looking like a gang of Hell's Angels, the band was never given a chance by the MTV generation; and before they knew it, their albums had stiffed, their record company had abandoned them, and the public had all but forgotten they existed.
Former nightclub doorman Ron Young started Little Caesar in the late '80s with guitarists Louren Moulinaire and Apache, bassist Fidel Paniagua, and drummer Tom Morris. An independently released EP called Name Your Poison brought them to the attention of Geffen Records, who obviously had high hopes for the group, pairing them with A&R wizard John Kalodner and in-demand hard rock producer Bob Rock for their eponymous 1990 debut. A no-nonsense, glam-free collection of earthy hard rock in the vein of '70s giants like Bad Company and Humble Pie, the album was also brimming with classic R&B influences, and garnered mostly positive reviews. It also featured two Motown covers, including a ballsy reading of the classic "Chain of Fools," which cracked the Billboard Top 100 chart. But what had worked for, say, AC/DC or Blue Öyster Cult in the pre-MTV era, when looks were not essential to a band's success, ultimately proved to be Little Caesar's undoing in the image-obsessed early '90s. Simply put, the kids didn't seem to get it, and no amount of talent or record company muscle could overcome the band's ugly mugs and heavily tattooed biker look. (Although, to their credit, at least the band refused to take the Twisted Sister comedy route in countering this problem, only to arrive at the same result anyway.)
Promptly demoted down Geffen's priority list (and losing their Kalodner/Rock dream team in the process), the band returned to action with 1992's even-grittier and fancy-free, albeit increasingly cliché-laden, Influence album. Though it counted with the services of veteran guitarist Earl Slick (Bowie, Dirty White Boy, etc.) replacing the departed Apache, it was much too late for Little Caesar, who disbanded shortly thereafter. Young moved on to a number of similarly ill-fated ventures, including the Four Horsemen, Manic Eden, and Dirt.

Review:
Known for their spirited remakes of soul classics, Little Caesar made some noteworthy contributions to the hard rock scene of the late 1980s and early '90s. This gritty, Bob Rock-produced CD, which draws on influences ranging from Aerosmith to Edgar Winter, may not be the most innovative recording of 1989, but it's honest and consistently satisfying. On "I Wish It Would Rain" (a Motown song recorded by both the Temptations and Gladys Knight & the Pips) and Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools," the unpretentious band shows how well these '60s soul pearls can work in a rock setting. And Caesar sounds just as inspired on hard-driving originals like "Wrong Side of the Tracks," "Rock-N-Roll State of Mind," and the working man's lament "Hard Times."

У нас во Владивостоке всё по другому!

Ого, чувак, так ты из Владивостока!!!
Не часто встретишь земляка в одном из любимейших форумов...
Ну т.е. я то давно уже твой ник встречаю, и не только здесь... а вот что из В-ка не знал.

Даже и не знаю, какие еще эмоции излить
Учитывая твои, Гордый, музыкальные предпочтения, думаю, что мы могли бы и вживую пообщаться, наверное. Впрочем, я не настаиваю
В общем, чертовски рад!

Очень рад встретить земляка. Действительно это не часто происходит. Но во Владике я родился и прожил до 10-ти лет, потом часто приезжал... сейчас судьба забросила очень далеко от родного края. Но я приеду и мы, чувак-igoro, ещё пообщаемся в реале!

На трекере!....Ноо...Без сыра!

Не страшно, сыр мы отсюда на ослике увезем...

Гордый спасибо!

И Елене спасибо, за торрент!
Не понятно одно, сыр больше понравился или "Маленький Принц"?

Кой-кому видимо понравился сыр
Остальным - Маленький Цезарь

Всё от сыра и вина зависит. Но думаю если сыр австрийский, то только под Моцарта!

Опять в раздаче.

чуть не забыл... всё из-за того, что вроде в прошлом году выпустили пластинку? Слухи... Может кто встречал!?


# This Time It's Different (Slick Music, 1998)
# Redemption (Dirty Deeds, 2009)

Неужели я пропустил?!
