It is with heavy hearts that we deliver this week's episode honoring the passing of a guitar hero giant who also happened to be an awesome singer and songwriter: John Sykes. He was a guitarist deserving of the title guitar god who rarely got mentioned in the same circles as the Satches, Vais, Rhodes, and Van Halens. Most known for his brief stint in Thin Lizzy at the end of their career and as a brief member of Whitesnake. He should have been a household for playing on the Whitesnake 87 album that sold 25M records worldwide, but he was fired before it came out. Kevin's a huge fan of Blue Murder, so we will focus on that band and some of the lesser-known projects he was involved in while also paying homage to his mainstream successes. New to InObscuria? Typically, what we do is exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Rest In Peace John. Your pure musicality and amazing songs will live forever in our hearts!Songs this week include:Blue Murder – “We All Fall Down” from Nothin' But Trouble (1993)Streetfighter – “She's No Angel” from Lightnin' To The Nations: NWOBHM 25th Anniversary Collection (2005)Tygers Of Pan Tang – “Blackjack” from Spellbound (1981)John Sykes – “Pride And Joy” from Crossfire: A Salute To Stevie Ray (1996)Derek Sherinian – “God Of War” from Mythology (2004)Thin Lizzy – “Cowboy Song” from One Night Only (2000)John Sykes – “Cautionary Warning” from 20th Century (1997)Blue Murder – “Still Of The Night” from Screaming Blue Murder: Dedicated To Phil Lynott (1994)Blue Murder – “Jelly Roll” from Screaming Blue Murder: Dedicated To Phil Lynott (1994)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

April 1989: The world was a strange mix of excess and transition. On one side, the neon-drenched MTV era was still riding high, with hair metal bands like Poison, Motley Crüe, and Def Leppard dominating the charts with their polished, radio-friendly anthems. Power ballads and arena rock were inescapable, and rock fans were tuned in to Bon Jovi and Guns N' Roses. Yet, beneath the surface, change was brewing. Bands like Jane's Addiction and Soundgarden were slowly carving out a new, grittier sound that would soon transform the entire landscape.Amid this backdrop, Blue Murder made their entrance—not as another Sunset Strip glam act, but as a hard-hitting supergroup led by a guitar hero who had already proven himself with Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake. John Sykes wasn't looking to jump on the hair metal bandwagon. Instead, with Blue Murder, he aimed to bring the technical brilliance of the '70s into the late '80s, blending his bluesy, virtuoso guitar work with heavy grooves and intricate song structures. Sykes, along with legendary drummer Carmine Appice and fretless bass wizard Tony Franklin, formed a trio that drew on the legacy of hard rock and metal titans, delivering something deeper and more ambitious than most of their glam metal contemporaries.Yet, for all their talent, Blue Murder wasn't about writing catchy three-minute radio singles. Their self-titled debut album was a blend of towering guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and epic song structures that leaned closer to the ‘70s hard rock tradition of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple than the bubblegum metal that filled the charts. But in 1989, as hair metal ruled the airwaves and grunge was lurking around the corner, Blue Murder stood out—ambitious, raw, and musically masterful.The Road to Blue MurderJohn Sykes had already proven his chops with Whitesnake's 1987 album, a monster hit that spawned chart-topping singles and dominated MTV. But creative tensions with Whitesnake's leader, David Coverdale, led to Sykes' unceremonious departure just as the band was at the peak of its commercial success. Undeterred, Sykes began writing material for what would eventually become Blue Murder, determined to put together a powerhouse group that could rival his previous success.At first, Sykes wasn't planning to be the frontman. The band initially brought in some big-name vocalists to handle lead duties. Ray Gillen of Black Sabbath and Badlands fame was the first to join the lineup, contributing vocals to some early demos. But Gillen left after just a few months, reportedly due to creative differences. The next contender was Tony Martin, another former Black Sabbath singer, but he, too, didn't stick around for long. After several auditions and some disagreements with the label Geffen Records, the A&R team suggested that Sykes himself take over lead vocals. Despite being known more for his guitar work, Sykes stepped up, and his voice turned out to be a perfect match for the band's sound—gritty, soulful, and powerful.With legendary drummer Carmine Appice, who had played with the likes of Jeff Beck and Vanilla Fudge, and fretless bass virtuoso Tony Franklin, fresh off his stint with The Firm alongside Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers, Blue Murder had a lineup that was nothing short of rock royalty. The result was a self-titled debut that combined technical brilliance with bluesy hard rock, reflecting Sykes' desire to channel the spirit of '70s heavyweights like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, rather than chasing the more formulaic sound of the late-'80s hair metal scene.Building the Sound: A Guitarist as a FrontmanFor a guy who wasn't originally a vocalist, Sykes delivered some serious vocal prowess on Blue Murder. He was filling big shoes, considering he had just played alongside David Coverdale, one of rock's great frontmen. And while the album isn't a complete departure from Whitesnake's bluesy, hard-hitting rock, it's more expansive, both musically and lyrically.The standout track, “Valley of the Kings,” showcases the epic grandeur Blue Murder was going for. Co-written by Black Sabbath's Tony Martin, the song combines powerful riffs, intricate solos, and a historical theme that was rare in the pop-metal scene of the time. This track had a “late '80s Sabbath” feel, blending hard rock with doom-like weight, something that set the band apart from the typical hair metal crowd.Tracks like “Jelly Roll” and “Out of Love” demonstrate the band's diversity—moving between blues-infused swagger and heartfelt ballads, all carried by Sykes' smooth yet powerful vocals and, of course, his signature guitar tone. The hosts also discussed how “Out of Love,” a lesser-known power ballad, was one of those hidden gems deserving far more attention than it ever received.The Legacy of Blue MurderThough the album charted respectably (peaking at #69 on the Billboard 200), it didn't make the impact that Whitesnake's 1987 album did. Part of the issue was the changing musical landscape. By 1989, the glam metal scene was beginning to saturate, and the introspective rawness of grunge was on the horizon. Blue Murder, with its complex musicianship and Sykes' ambitious songwriting, may have been too sophisticated for an audience that was more accustomed to quick-hit rock anthems.But for those in the know, Blue Murder became a cult classic. Its combination of blistering guitar work, thunderous drums, and intricate bass lines made it a musician's album—a performance record. For fans of technical prowess and intricate song structures, Blue Murder was a band worth rediscovering.What Could Have BeenDespite the talent and the potential, Blue Murder never achieved the commercial success many expected. Tensions with their label, Geffen Records, didn't help. Sykes believed Geffen was trying to sabotage the band in hopes he'd rejoin Whitesnake. Whether or not that's true, it's clear that Blue Murder didn't get the marketing push it deserved.After a follow-up album in 1993 (Nothing But Trouble), Blue Murder faded into the background, overshadowed by the grunge explosion. However, Sykes continued to be a respected figure in the hard rock and metal scenes, even though he never reached the heights of Whitesnake's success again.A Call to Revisit a Lost MasterpieceSo why does Blue Murder still resonate with those who know it? It's a record that transcends the pop-metal limitations of its time. If you're a fan of Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, or just killer guitar work, this album is well worth revisiting. And for those who missed it the first time around, now's the perfect time to dive into one of the best-kept secrets of late '80s metal.Take a listen, let it transport you back to 1989, and then wonder how this gem flew under the radar.Songs in this Episode* Intro - Blue Murder * 22:17 - Black-Hearted Woman * 27:14 - Out of Love * 31:53 - Ptolemy * 37:59 - Billy * 39:04 - It's Too Late (demo w/ Ray Gillen on lead vocals) * Outro - Valley of the KingsMake Your Voice Heard!In our quest to explore the depths of 90s Rock, we rely on you, our listeners.

In the twilight of the 1980s, a year that marked the end of an era and the dawn of another, a band emerged that would encapsulate the raw energy and spirit of rock's golden years. This band was Badlands, a powerhouse ensemble formed by none other than Jake E. Lee, known for his explosive guitar solos with Ozzy Osbourne. As Lee parted ways with the Prince of Darkness, he gathered a group of seasoned musicians: Ray Gillen, whose commanding vocals could rival the legends; Eric Singer, a drummer with a pedigree from Black Sabbath (later KISS); and Greg Chaisson, whose bass lines were as deep as they were intricate.Highlights of This Episode:Formation of Badlands: After parting ways with Ozzy Osbourne, Jake E.

This week we pay homage to bands straddled the world of the 80s hard n' heavy and the 90s alternative n' grunge. These were bands that were somewhat outside of the status quo specifically in the hard rock and metal world that seemed to be playing music that was more genre and categorization-defying. Thus we created our own non-genre called; The Inbetweeners!What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we cover all 3 categories and even some bands that we played early on in the podcast. The transition from the hard rockin' 80s to the punk-edged alternative of the 90s was a time like no other, and some bands simply got caught in the middle. Go and check out these songs and the albums that they come from and enjoy some music from The Inbetweeners! Songs this week include:Naked Sun – “Psycho-Activate” from Naked Sun (1991)Funhouse – “Y.R.S.” from Generation Generator (1990)No Walls – “Naive” from No Wall (1992)Animal Bag – “Missing Out” from Animal Bag (1992)Red Sea – “Blood” from Blood (1994)The Hatters – “Sacrifice” from The Madcap Adventures Of The Avocado Overlord (1994)Loudhouse – “Faith Farm” from For Crying Out Loud (1991)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

Greg ChaissonBassist Greg Chaisson gained international attention as a member of Badlands -- featuring guitarist Jake E. Lee, singer Ray Gillen and drummer Eric Singer (and, later, Jeff Martin) -- but he's also an accomplished singer/songwriter/producer whose latest project, Atomic Kings, recalls the best hard rock bands of the ‘70s – and adds its own, modern twist. He joins us to discuss Atomic Kings' debut album, his time in Badlands, Surgical Steel, Steeler, Legs Diamond and Ratt (for a minute) as well as his lifelong addiction to cowboy boots!

HELLO METAL HEADS- Tonight we present the second installment of our new series ROC N ROLL DETENTION ,as we are peeling back all the layers of the often overlooked ,but highly respected band BADLANDS. BADLANDS was an American heavy metal band founded by former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee, former Black Sabbath members Ray Gillen (vocals) and Eric Singer (drums), as well as former Surgical Steel bass player Greg Chaisson.  After the first Badlands album, Eric Singer was replaced by Jeff Martin. The group lasted from 1988 to 1993 and released three albums. Badlands (1989) and Voodoo Highway (1991) were released before Gillen left and was replaced by singer John West from New York. Gillen's death in 1993 effectively ended any hopes of reuniting the project. The album Dusk (a demo recorded in 1992–93) was released in 1998 with the then-deceased Gillen on vocals. Metal Walt and Ian O'Rourke guide you on this episode as the two share their reflections on the two releases, what the music meant to them and the impact the band had on the rock landscape in the late 80's and early 90's.

Episode 48 of Season 5 aired at 19h00 on 1 Dec 2022 on Rebel Rock Radio.  It was a tricky show because of the wifi signal jumping in and out.  The podcast is 100% so that is a small mercy I am thankful for.  We kicked off with a double header in the form of the first two tracks on W.A.S.P's magnum opus The Crimson Idol.  From there is was a bit of Southern Rock from Whiskey Myers and then over to Ireland for some Therapy? and a track called ‘Unbeliever' off the clritically acclaimed Troublegum.  We stayed with the late ‘80s type guitar driven rock with Badlands and a track called 'Dancing on the Edge'.  The Badlands debut album with Jake E. Lee, Ray Gillen, Eric Singer and Greg Chaisson was the first CD I ever bought and has a special place in my heart.  Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy classics ‘Killing Yourself to Live' and 'Some Day She's Going to Hit Back' were up next and then from these classics we got up to date with two albums released in the last month; Soilworks' Overgivenheten and Sakis Tolis's Among the Fires of Hell.  Mötley Crüe's track ‘Motherfucker of the Year' off Saints of Los Angeles elicited some nominations from the listeners, so I will collect a few more and we can discuss that another time.  The Offspring and Blink 182 hit the spot for the ‘90's kids.   We spent a lot of time talking Metallica, they dropped a first track off the new album 72 Seasons this week and the 2023/24 Tour is kicking off soon.  They are doing two gigs per city with different opening acts and different sets each night.  I played Pantera, Five Finger Death Punch and Mammoth WVH all of who will be part of the M72 Tour.  To end off we checked out the ladies, Taylor Momsen and Lzzy Hale and said farewell and RIP to Christine Mc Vie of Fleetwood Mac who passed away this week.  We listened to her play and sing ‘Oh Daddy' off the multi-million selling Rumours album.  SA bands were a bit thin on the ground tonight but we squoze in The Uninvited and The Burning before saying cheers and playing out with KISS and their anthem ‘ Let me Go Rock ‘n' Roll.  Thanks for listening, much appreciated.  Cheers until next time.  Artists featured:  W.A.S.P, Whiskey Myers, Therapy? Badlands, KilliT, Warrant, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Soilwork, Sakis Tolis, Whitesnake, Mötley Crüe, The Offspring, Blink 182, Candlemass, Burning Witches, Joe Bonamassa, Free, rave, Pantera, Five Finger Death Punch, Mammoth WVH, Matthew Goode Band, Godsmack, Motor Sister, Dead City Ruins, The Pretty Reckless, Halestorm, Fleetwood Mac, Kid Rock, Van Halen, Parkway Drive, Metallica, The Uninvited, the Burning, Iron Maiden, KISS.  The Story of Rock and Roll.

Some of the most popular songs from The Cult come from Sonic Temple, their fourth studio album.  They garnered some attention in 1985 when the single “She Sells Sanctuary” off their second album hit the US charts, and they had established a solid following as a “post punk” or “goth rock” band, but Sonic Temple would put them over the top with its more hard rock appeal.The band lineup for this album consisted of Ian Astbury on vocals and percussion, Billy Duffy on guitar, Jamie Stewart on bass and keyboards, and newcomer Mickey Curry on drums.  Prior to Curry, the band had relied on Eric Singer for the first demos, and Chris Taylor for second demos at the drums.While the critical reception was mixed with some considering the work too conventional, the commercial success was undeniable.  The album shot up to the top 10 in both the UK and the US, and was certified gold in the UK and platinum in the US.Creative differences would destabilize the group on their fifth studio album and the group would break up after 1998.  However several reunions took place over the years, and the group is back together as of 2022. Brian leads the discussion of this album.Sun KingAstbury and Duffy wrote this song, inspired by Louis XIV.  Known as the Sun King, Louis XIV is the French King who moved the royal court to Versailles.  The track is an explicitly masculine one.  “I'm a sun king, baby, let me take you by the hand.  Sun king, honey, we can rule across the land.”  Fire WomanThe first single from the album is this well known track.  As with all the tracks, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy wrote this hit which peaked at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks charts.  Astbury has stated that this is a universal symbol, an archetype of the femme fatale.Edie (Ciao Baby)Edie Sedgwick is the inspiration for this song.  Sedgwick was an actress and socialite who traveled in Andy Warhol's circles in 1960's New York.  Sedgwick lived fast and died young of a drug overdose.  She was 28 when she died.  Her last film was “Ciao! Manhattan.”  This is not the only song inspired by Sedgwick, as Bob Dylan's “Just Like a Woman” is supposedly inspired by Edie Sedgwick as well.Sweet Soul SisterThis track was written in Paris, inspired by the Americanization of European culture.  It was the fourth single released from the album.  The song observes the love/hate relationship that comes with both the attraction and resistance experienced as a response to American culture, particularly in France. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:The main theme from the television series "Saturday Night Live" Mike Myers joined the cast of Saturday Night Live, and original cast member Gilda Radner died in this month in 1989. STAFF PICKS:So Alive by Love and Rockets Rob begins the staff picks with a group that sounds a bit like INXS.  This single is off the self-titled fourth album from Love and Rockets.  “You're legs are strong and you're so, so long, and you don't come from this town.”  The single made it to number 3 in the U.S., and was considered the number 1 modern rock song in the U.S. for 1989.Walkin' Shoes  by Tora ToraWayne features a rock-blues number from a group out of Memphis, Tennessee.  This underrated song made it to number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the sound reminds us of Motley Crue and Led Zeppelin.  The group won studio time in a Battle of the Bands contest.  Tora Tora is still recording as of 2022.Dreams In the Dark by BadlandsBruce's staff pick is a hair band formed by former Black Sabbath members Ray Gillen (vocals) and Eric Singer (drums), former Ozzy guitarist Jake E. Lee, and former Surgical Steel bass player Greg Chaisson.  After Lee was fired from Ozzy's band by Sharon Osborne, he was motivated to form this band.  As mentioned previously Eric Singer had a hand in the demos of The Cult's album, and would go on to join KISS. Good Thing by Fine Young CannibalsBrian  wraps up this week's staff picks with the second big hit from FYC's album, “The Raw & the Cooked.”  Fine Young Cannibals hail from Birmingham, England, formed in 1984 and disbanded in 1992.       COMEDY TRACK:Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child  by Mojo NixonThis boogie-woogie comedy track is a good example of the type of parody song for which Mojo Nixon is famous.

In 1988, a couple Black Sabbath Castoffs join an Ozzy Osbourne Castoff and his friend to create an incestuous supergroup. Join Nik and Duncan as they look into this lost album from 1989. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Keel es una banda de heavy metal formada en Los Ángeles en 1983. La banda nació de la idea de Ronnie Keel, quien dejó the Steeler project, una banda donde el conocido guitarrista Yngwie Malmsteen también tocó por un período. Ron Keel originalmente llamó la atención del público a principios de la década de 1980 cuando fundó Steeler, un grupo que incluía a un joven Yngwie Malmsteen en sus primeros días. Después de lanzar un álbum homónimo con el grupo en 1983, Ron decidió romper la formación para crear un nuevo proyecto, que se llamará "Keel" , arrastrando a lo largo del baterista Bobby Marks, que ya había sido parte de una de las últimas líneas de su banda anterior. La primera formación de Keel fue en Boston, y consistió en guitarristas Marc Ferrari y David Michael-Phillips, Kenny Chaisson en el bajo, y el baterista Bobby Marks (Ex Steeler y Londres). David Michael-Phillips (nombre real David Henzerling) vino de la banda The Schoolboys, que más tarde se abrió camino bajo el nombre Icon después de su partida. Mientras que Kenny Chaisson era el hermano del bajista de Steeler y Badlands Greg Chaisson. En este período inicial el grupo grabó las dos primeras demos de las canciones "Lay Down the Law" y "Speed Demon" . Esta primera encarnación de The Keels representó un solo espectáculo en el Perkin''s Palace (El Teatro Raymond) en Pasadena en abril de ese año, frente a 1.500 personas. Entre bastidores durante ese evento también estuvieron presentes Tony Iommi y Geezer Butler de Black Sabbath, Lita Ford y Carmine Appice. Appice notó a Michael-Phillips y lo reclutó mientras buscaba nuevos músicos para su nuevo proyecto que se llamaría King Kobra. Después de solo un mes de vida, Ron Keel decidió disolver la banda ya que fue invitado por el productor Spencer Proffer a una audición para Black Sabbath. En realidad, Ron Keel había grabado canciones, originalmente compuestas por la banda canadiense Kick Axe, para pasar a la evaluación de Sabbath. Fue el productor Spencer Proffer (que también dirigió Kick Axe y Sabbath) quien invitó a Ron a cantar estas canciones, pero los veteranos de Birmingham no estaban satisfechos con su actuación. Keel nunca tuvo la oportunidad de audicionar o grabar material con la banda Británica, y más tarde admitió que no fue reclutado ya que la banda quería que Ozzy Osbourne volviera a la voz. Sin embargo, el papel de cantante fue finalmente asignado a David Donato, que duró unos meses, luego reemplazado por Ray Gillen. Ron Keel, amargado, decidió reanudar el proyecto de Keel, reensamblando la antigua alineación, mientras que Michael-Phillips, que se había unido a King Kobra mientras tanto, fue reemplazado por Bryan Jay. Después de encontrar una formación estable, lograron asegurar un acuerdo con el sello Shrapnel Records, con el que lanzaron su debut Lay Down the Law en el mismo 1984. El álbum atrajo la atención del conocido bajista/cantante de Kiss Gene Simmons, quien se convirtió en su mentor, y los llevó a concluir un contrato con una filial de A& M, Gold Mountain Records. Después de esto, el baterista Bobby Marks dejó la banda, y para reemplazarlo temporalmente sucedió a varios bateristas; primero Fred Coury (que un año más tarde se unió a Londres, y luego Cenicienta); luego Barry Brandt de Angel, Y finalmente Steve Riley, ex Steppenwolf, y en el futuro miembro de W. A. S. P. y L. A. Guns. Riley comenzó a grabar el segundo álbum, pero dejó la banda poco después para unirse a W. A. S. P. siendo reemplazado en las quillas por Dwain Miller. Con esta formación, que permaneció sin cambios durante unos cuatro años, Keel lanzó el álbum The Right to Rock, lanzado el 26 de marzo de 1985, que se estableció como uno de sus discos más exitosos. Fue producido por Gene Simmons, quien también compuso algunas de las pistas del álbum. De este álbum se extrajo la pista titular de la cual se rodó un videoclip transmitido du MTV que obtuvo un éxito decente. El sencillo permitió al grupo ganar el título de "Mejor Banda nueva" del periódico Metal Edge music en 1986. El álbum también contenía la famosa versión de los Rolling Stones "let''s Spend The Night Together" , y la pista "Speed Demon" , ya contenida en el debut, también fue revivida. Después de ser asegurados a MCA Records a través de Simmons, lanzaron el tercer álbum The Final Frontier el 30 de abril de 1986, producido de nuevo por el bajista de Kiss y en el que Ferrari también comenzó a contribuir a las composiciones. Con este trabajo, el grupo se trasladó gradualmente a avenidas más comerciales, introduciendo canciones más asimilables y varias baladas de poder. De hecho, incluía la conocida canción Because the Night, una reinterpretación de Patti Smith escrita con Bruce Springsteen. El disco también contó con invitados especiales como Joan Jett (ex-The Runaways), Gregg Giuffria (Angel Giuffria, House of Lords), Jaime St.James (Black ''N Blue), Mitch Perry (ex-Steeler, M. S. G. Y Heaven) y Michael Des Barres (Silverhead). La banda tocó junto a Dio en Gran Bretaña y Krokus en los Estados Unidos. En el mismo año lanzaron solo en Japón el EP / recopilatorio Tears of Fire para celebrar el éxito de la gira en el país asiático. En 1987 participaron en la banda sonora de la película dudes (en italiano Dudes: Diciotenni Arrabbiati) dirigida por Penelope Spheeris, con la canción "Rock N'' Roll Outlaw" (cover de The Rose Tattoo) producida por Kevin Beamish, de la que también se rodó un videoclip. W. A. S. P. , Megadeth y Steve Vai también formarán parte de la banda sonora de la película. El epónimo Keel (1987), fue probablemente el álbum que logró obtener el mayor éxito dado el cambio de sonidos aún más suave y comercial. Interrumpieron la colaboración con Gene Simmons, que será reemplazado por el conocido Michael Wagener, con quien la banda pretendía aligerar aún más los sonidos, siguiendo la vena melódica del heavy metal con atmósferas AOR. El sencillo fue "somebody''s Waiting" . También en este álbum incluyó la participación de Jaime St.James como corista. El álbum contó con una canción escrita en colaboración con el bajista de Dio Jimmy Bain titulada "Calm Before the Storm" . La canción no realizada en el álbum, "Proud to be Loud" , escrita por Marc Ferrari, fue más tarde incluida en el álbum Power Metal de Pantera, que Ferrari ayudó a producir en 1988. Tras el lanzamiento del álbum homónimo, Keels fue invitado a abrir el primer show de Mötley Crüe''s Girls Girls tour y logró ganar el importante papel de grupo de apoyo a Bon Jovi con motivo de la gira del galardonado Slippery When Wet, sin embargo fracasaron en su intento de ganarse a nuevas audiencias. Después de esta serie de fechas, Ferrari y Jay decepcionados por la falta de éxito, dejaron la banda en 1988 y fueron reemplazados respectivamente por Scott Warren y Tony Palamucci. Marc Ferrari mientras tanto formó la banda "Ferrari" , pero pronto el cantante del grupo, Oni Logan lo abandonó para unirse a The Lynch Mob, un grupo fundado por el ex guitarrista de Dokken George Lynch. Debido a problemas legales con el fabricante de automóviles italiano del mismo nombre, el nombre de la banda fue cambiado a cold Sweat. Firmaron con MCA Records para lanzar el álbum Break Out en 1990. Al año siguiente, tras la disolución de este proyecto, Ferrari fundó Medicine Wheel. Keels se puso a trabajar en la liberación de un quinto álbum, y decidió grabar material jugado en dos fechas agotadas en vivo en el Roxy Theatre en Hollywood. El álbum Larger than Live (1989), fue compuesto en parte de material nuevo y en parte de las actuaciones en vivo grabadas en 1987. El álbum cuenta con las reinterpretaciones "Rock And Roll Outlaw" de Rose Tattoo y "Fool for a Pretty Face" de Humble Pie. Jaime St. James y Kevin DuBrow, cantantes de Black '' N Blue y Quiet Riot respectivamente, participaron como voces adicionales en la reinterpretación de Humble Pie. El nuevo tecladista Scott Warren dejó la banda poco después de la grabación del álbum, reemplazado por Jesse Bradman, ya miembro de The Night Ranger, pero también de las bandas de Eddie Money y Aldo Nova. Después de que se hiciera el video musical final de "Dreams Are Not Enough" , Ron decidió disolver el grupo en 1989. Tony Palmucci se unió a Baton Rouge en 1991 y lanzó el álbum Lights Out on The Playground. Scott Warren se unirá a las órdenes, luego a los berlineses y más tarde a Dio. Ron Keel en 1989 participó en un proyecto compuesto enteramente por chicas, llamado "Fair Game" . El grupo nació de las cenizas de otra banda llamada No Game, y estaba compuesto por las guitarristas Tina Listo y Eve Marie, la baterista Stephanie Leigh y la bajista Janna James. Aunque estuvieron activos en el circuito en vivo, Fair Game nunca lanzó ningún material. Listo, bajo su nombre real Tina Wood, se unió a Phantom Blue en 1996. La hermana del baterista de Mötley Crüe, Tommy Lee, Athena Bass, reemplazó a Leigh detrás de la batería antes de que la banda anunciara su disolución en 1992. En 2000, surgió una colección de material grabado por la banda para Metal Mayhem Records, llamado Beauty & The Beast. Kenny Chaisson participó como corista en el álbum debut de Tuff What Comes Around Goes Around en 1991. Después de esto, Ron Keel dejó el heavy metal por un período, mudándose a Nashville y grabando un álbum country como "Ronnie Lee Keel" , titulado "Western Country" . Después de esto, tocó por un período en 1997 en la banda japonesa Saber Tiger. En julio de 1998, Keel se reunió en Phoenix con Ron Keel, Bryan Jay, Marc Ferrari, Kenny Chaisson y Dwain Miller para crear una colección de canciones raras e inéditas, incluyendo "Reason To Rock" , una canción de 1987 que nunca había sido terminada. El álbum, titulado Keel VI: Back in Action, fue lanzado en 1998 por D-Rock Records. El álbum también contenía temas antiguos como "United Nations" , "Lay Down the Law" y "Speed Demon" , así como la reinterpretación de Argent "Hold Your Head Up" . El álbum también contiene la canción "Proud to be Loud" , escrita por Ferrari y originalmente destinada a ser parte del álbum homónimo de Keel (1987). Esto fue descartado y Ferrari, en ese momento colaborador de Pantera, les asignó la canción que fue incluida en su álbum Power Metal (1988). Su canción "Speed Demon" se puede escuchar por unos momentos en la película Men in Black II (2002), y aparecerá en la compilación U. S. metal Vol. IV. El ex guitarrista Tony Palmucci se unió a la banda en solitario del líder de Twisted Sister, Dee Snider, con quien lanzó el álbum Never Let The Bastards Wear you Down en 2000. En 2007, The Ultimate Ron Keel Collection fue lanzado con material de Keel, pistas no realizadas de otros proyectos de Ron Keel como Lust, Saber Tiger y Steeler, y una pista en solitario inédita, "Long time Coming" . Keel anunció oficialmente una nueva reunión en noviembre de 2008, compuesta por Ron Keel, Marc Ferrari, Bryan Jay, Dwain Miller y el nuevo bajista Geno Arce, quien ya era miembro de Iron Horse con Ron Keel. Más tarde firmaron un acuerdo con Chavis Records. El quinteto debutó en vivo en el Club Vodka en Hollywood el 31 de enero de 2009 con el apoyo de DC4. El 29 de enero de 2010, Streets of Rock ''N'' Roll fue lanzado por el sello italiano Frontiers Records. El álbum, producido por Pat Regan (Rainbow, Deep Purple, Mr. Big, Warrants), cuenta con la participación de algunos invitados como Jaime St.James de Black ''N Blue, quien ya había participado como vocalista de respaldo en los tres álbumes anteriores, y Paul Shortino, ex vocalista de Rough Cutt.
