Any Tigertailz fans??!!
I have their second release, "Bezerk"...really good glam/sleaze album. It's my favorite album by them. And my favorite track off of it is; "Twist And Shake".

Bezerk is a great, great album. Twist & Shake is cool but my favorite has to Love Bomb Baby

Off Bezerk 2.0, Falling Down ain't bad. The vid is one of the last with bassist Pepsi Tate before he passed away in September of last year aged 42.

RIP Pepsi Tate

Some weeks ago, I was reading the local newspaper, where it was a girl who said she wanted tigertailz to norway. I was like "wtf? is it more tigertailz-fans than me around here?" I had to take a picture of it xD

Tigertailz are my favourite band of all time.

I think they looked more glam than anyone else and each album was brilliant for diffrent reasons.

I can honestly say they are the only band who i like every song from.

You have to admit that sometimes its hard to believe that "Bezerk" and "Wazbones" came from the same band. XD

Which just goes to show how much variety Tigertailz have.

You couldnt have said it better there mate, Tigertailz have been my favorite band for years, The 1st time I bought Bezerk I was astounded and then got everything else from them and ive never heard a band with so much Variety of music. Too many people listen to Love Bomb Baby and figure ahh your typical Poison clone but Love Bomb Baby was really the only song with a pop rock tint to it Tigertailz had with the exception of a few others. Jay Pepper said their image tied them in with bands such as Poison etc.. but we were much heavier than those bands more in the Vain of Motley Crue or Kiss Jay stated. A good example of that is songs such as Wazbones,Dirty Needlez or TYFHO.
I cant wait to see them this summer for their very first U.S. Show *

LOVE LOVE LOVE them.....! I used to go to their shows a lot when I lived in Cardiff (where they, and I, am from) and knew them from out and about. Lovely guys, a riot live. Was so sad to hear about Pepsi, it was such a shock

Tigertailz rules!!
I love this band, i just recently got into them ya know and i credit that to Sean haha
Became friends with him on myspace and saw them on his page and was like whoah this dude is hella into this band, i gotta check em out. Then i fell in love with Tigertailz haha
They are an amazing band, very unique in sound and image
The only glam band i know of that has pulled of a Megadeth tune and waaaaaay better then the original!!
This just proves that glam is better than thrash yet again cuz not only can glam do the poppy, catchy songs that i love, they can also turn around and blow away any bogus thrash band

I recently found this interview in an old magazine from May 1990. Kim Hooker can be quoted saying "To me, Glam is bands like Wrathchild and we're nothing like that.":

If now I'm a glamster I owe almost entirely to Tigertailz,I knew them by a high school mate. One day I saw Love Bomb Baby video and since then it was love, I like them because listening to their music really seems to come back in the 80s -which I practically hasn't lived unfortunately, to which I was born in '88-, may seem trivial but it is. In my opinion they're most talented musicians, very different in their work,and unfortunately sometimes a bit 'underrated in my opinion. In February they will come here in Italy with Crashdiet, I can not wait to see them!

(P.S.:Thanx retroman for posting the interview!!!)

I'm a BIG Tigertailz fan, I actually bumped into Pepsi in Hospital about 4 days before he passed away

I was walking through reception with my huge hair, Ripped up Tigertailz tee shirt and zebra print tights! when I saw Pepsi walk past, he looked awful, totally white, he looked so ill! It was awful :'(

The awesome thing is, He came over to me! I would never go over to someone that is in that state and be like "Dude, Can I have you autograph!?" I'm not a d*ck like that!

I just heard this sweet little welsh voice whisper "Love Bomb Baby Dude", I looked behind, and there he was, we chatted for over 4 hours! he was a great man!

When I said I had to leave, he signed my Tee Shirt, got his wife to go down to his house and get a signed copy of Bezerk for me and some of his picks, I loved this!

The sad thing is, when I actually went out the door, he said "Hey Dude, come back here every day! please, I need someone right now!" with a big smile on his face.
I visited him every day, the forth day I went to his room, rather than seeing him lying there in his bed, I saw some flowers.

That was one of the most awful moments of my life

Sad story R.I.P. Pepsi
I got into them a few years back and then went to their show in Cardiff at Fuel. Then saw them supporting Y&T, and off to Steelhouse next month to catch em again.
Awesome band live and really down to earth and friendly too. It's really great there's a glam music scene here in Wales and that Tigertailz are part of keeping it alive and rocking
