In tonight’s 80’s at 8 things get sleazy and hairy! It started with a track from L.A. Guns titled “Never Enough.” It’s from their second album Cocked and Loaded which was released in 1989. This album is the first to feature drummer Steve Riley.

The album reached #38 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart and was certified Gold in the US. Cash Box Magazine said that L.A. Guns had grown by leaps and bounds since the release of their debut album and praised the performance lead guitarist Traci Guns.

Billboard Magazine gave the album a mixed review saying the album was “a spotty affair” and added that the band “has a sound that verges on the metal generic at times, but when the members click, they can run with the best of the pack.

All of the other reviews from different outlets were pretty much positive.5 tracks were released from the album and all 5 tracks had music videos.

You can check out the music video for “Never Enough” by L.A. Guns here:

The second track came from Philadelphia Rockers Britny Fox titled “Girls School.” It is from their self-titled debut album from 1988. The album was certified gold and reached #39 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The track Long Way to Love was the only single to chart from the album.

Girl School’s music video was an MTV favorite. Howard Johnson writing for Classic Rock ranked the song’s video at No. 5 on their list of the Top 10 Best Hair Metal Videos. Its video was also placed on the New York Times list of the 15 Essential Hair-Metal Videos. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of All Music called the video a “great moment in pop metal”, and said that, “it remains one of the style’s best moments.”
