Slaughter - Stick It To Ya


For starters, the record cover is a winner!!! Slaughter hit the scene in 1990 with ex-members of Vinnie Vincent's Invasion, Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum, and then added Tim Kelly and Blas Elias to the lineup. They burst onto the scene with their hit, Up All Night, which gained heavy airplay on MTV. Slaughter landed opening gigs with Poison and Ozzy and the follow up single, Fly To The Angels, was an even bigger hit. Stick It To Ya eventually went double platinum and also contained the hit, Spend My Life, the video hit, Mad About You, and other favorites like Burnin' Bridges (written about Vinnie Vincent), Eye to Eye, and She Wants More. Slaughter also released Stick It Live, a five song live EP from the Stick It To Ya tour. The record is one of the last best 80's Hair Metal albums to be released. Grunge hit and Slaughter's next record, The Wild Life, only went gold and contained two video hits, The Wild Life and Real Love. After that, Slaughter never charted again, but continued to release records. Slaughter still tours with various members, though Mark Slaughter, Dana Strum, and Blas Elias are still official members of the band. Tim Kelly was killed in a car accident in 1998. If your looking to find out what Slaughter is all about, definitely check out Stick It To Ya...
