DANGEROUS TOYS – Vitamins And Crash Helmets [Remastered 2023], MP3+FLAC
DANGEROUS TOYS , the bad boys of southern sleaze hard rock, capped their solid run of powerful, memorable studio albums in 1999 with a killer live album that they deemed simply too good to follow up.
”Vitamins And Crash Helmets Live” thus became the band’s swan song, the final installment of a catalog that stretched back to 1989 and includes such hard rock classics as “Teas’n Pleas’n”, “Scared”, “Line ‘Em Up”, “Pissed” and more.
Now this album is being reissued 2023 by Deadline / CleoRecs with digitally remastered audio and sinister new artwork that revives the band’s evil clown mascot, Bill Z. Bubb.
Vocalist / frontman Jason McMaster, who continues to lead a new lineup of Dangerous Toys on stages throughout the US, proves himself a master showman, belting out all of the band’s most beloved anthems and doing it all with the swagger and bravado fans have come to expect.
Dangerous Toys recorded their four studio albums for different labels, which made licensing the original versions of their best and most popular songs impossible for Cleopatra; so, the label put out Greatest Hits Live: Vitamins And Crash Helmets Tour instead.
The track listing is actually quite good, everything a casual (and even more devoted) fan could want from a Dangerous Toys concert recording. This is an entertaining in-concert walk through the band’s career.
