Admittedly, I’ve given the band Axe more webspace than what they’re probably entitled to, but a sidetracked visit to You Tube brought me to the band’s awesome video for “Heat In The Street.”
Their two most noteworthy albums have been review before, but the reviews failed to explain just how plain looking these blue-collar fellows were. Dudes like this shouldn’t be anywhere near melody, unless they’re in a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover band that occasionally puts a Molly Hatchet and the Outlaws’ “Green Grass and High Tides” into their set list.
But Axe did come close to placing a few songs on top 40 radio, tracks that belied their grizzled appearance and hinted at a certain amount of talent within.
The video is so awesome that I had to post it, giving the band their third mention here on Glam-Racket.
Bobby Barth sports a nice Motorhead t-shirt, well before it was considered cool to wear one. He also manages to bed a pair of chicks at the same time, even when it’s painfully obvious that there’s no way that would actually happen in reality.
I mean, just look at the dude! His grill looks grody!
Even better than the actual plot of the video is the fact that one of the dudes in Axe is playing a fucking keytar.
But you want to know something-and I’m being totally serious-that same dude was awesome when I saw them live, cheesing it up like a goddamn guitarist every time they gave him some time to solo.
