One more note on Giuffria: the bass player on their 2nd album ( David Sikes) had played with Aldo Nova ( another one-hit wonder) and later spent 12 years in the band BOSTON.
#Dazz band let it whip guitar tabs movie
when Giuffria morphed into House Of Lords, they scored a rock-radio hit in 1990 with a cover of "Can't Find My Way Home".Ĭoolest thing about Angel was their logo being the same upside down.Īlso had a cameo in the Jodie Foster 1980 movie Foxes where they performed the song "20th Century Foxes." Van Halen found out about Angel's plan and immediately rush-released "You Really Got Me" as their debut single, and the rest is history.ģ. Angel thought that the updated arrangement had potential as a single, so they immediately went into the studio to record their own version of the song. They also played a very small role in launching the career of Van Halen - in 1977, members of Angel heard Van Halen's cover of "You Really Got Me", which at the time was slated to be filler material on their debut album (but was not planned to be a single).
Angel was a bunch of KISS-wannabes who never quite had a hit (their only charting single was a cover of The Rascals' "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore", which stalled at #44 in 1977).
they were originally going to be a new lineup of Angel (after the original band broke up in 1981) but other members of Angel threatened a lawsuit.Ģ. I used to have a soft spot for Giuffria for some unknown reason. Lonely In Love and I Must Be Dreaming. Like a lot of 80's bands, Giuffria (without Gregg Guiffra) reformed in 2015 with another combination of musicians. They had two lesser charting follow up songs that I don't recall. They toured with Deep Purple and later opened for Foreigner on their Agent Provocateur tour. They put out two albums and rotated through a bunch of band members. The band featured session musicians and guys that recorded with the likes of Dio, Quiet Riot, and House of Lords. Not sure how many bands name themselves after their keyboardist, but this is one. Gregg Guiffria was in a band called Angel that broke up and then formed Giuffria with hard rock / glam musicians from the L.A.
