Customer Reviews:

Best LA Metal Retrospective Out.......2006-02-25

Just to keep things straight, this set is not covering any of the hair metal or pop metal bands outside of the LA scene which is why you wont see any Def Leppard, Slaughter, Kix, and other bands who were outside of the LA scene. That being said, if you have any interest in the LA music scene of the 80's then this is the only collection you will ever need. All of the names you know are here plus a great deal of unknowns that were popular acts during the 80's. This set spans from the early days of LA Metal with a lot of heavier, more Sabbath and Zeppelin influence present, through the glam era, and out into the early 90's where the sound was back to it's roots. The reason the 80's LA club scene worked was because of the bands. By reading the booklet that comes with the collection, which by the way is extremely informative, it is evident that members from all of these bands knew eachother and were often times switching bands. It truly makes the so called "family tree" of LA metal quite interesting. The music though is what stands out and here the music is all great. All of these songs were hits at least out on the Sunset Strip and it is clear to see why. I find myself listening to these disks more than almost any of my other cd's or records and that is saying a lot! Absolutle must have!

If you were into the metal scene in the early '80's, this is probably for you.......2006-01-28

First off, 78 songs on 4 discs. What a great value for the money. OK, the production on most of these songs is fair at best but this is truly only a snapshot of an era. If you are checking this out and you can remember hearing in magazines more than 20 of these bands, this is a great way of going back in time to a time forgotten. Most of these songs are demo quality but who doesn't want to hear Ratt, Black 'n' Blue, Sound Barrier, Great White, etc. again. If you are reading this then the answer is YOU. Get out the old Circus, Hit Parader and Melody Maker magazines to take a trip down memory lane. If you lived this, you are truly lucky. I could only read about that scene here in Pittsburgh. Loss of 1 star due to the sound quality but this is still a rather good package. Info on each band included as well.

Probably the only Hollywood-metal collection you need........2005-10-31

(My review scale: 1- Bad, 2- Average, 3- Good, 4- Very Good, 5- Excellent/Classic)

Hollywood Rocks! is the musical companion to the book by the same name. It sifts through the heyday of the Hollywood Metal scene, covering the years 1980-1992. This four cd package provides a taste of virtually every band to record during that period, from the most famous bands like Ratt (named Rat on this collection for legal reasons) and Poison, to the obscure acts like Kery Doll and Stars From Mars. A fantastic collection!

Most of the first disk is unreleased or obscure material. You have songs from Hollywood Rose, the famous precurser to Guns n' Roses, and Mickey Rat (pre-Ratt). Early takes of classic songs from Dokken, WASP, and Quiet Riot, are intertwined with bands you've maybe heard of before, but never actually heard play.

There are far too many bands and songs here to mention them all. Other notables being two lineups of L.A. Guns, Stryper, Armoured Saint, Keel, Faster Pussycat and Black and Blue. A couple of ommisions, inluding Motley Crue and Guns n' Roses, which I assume the rights could not be obtained. However this doesn't take away from the strength of this box set.

The set comes with a few small extras, which are not particularly exciting, but the booklet is wonderful, with band bios for each track. When you read it, you see how many of these bands cross-bred over the years. Members changing from one group to another on a regular basis. It's no wonder the Hollywood scene thrived, considering all these guys seem to have worked together at one time.

One complaint would be some of the sound quality. A handful of these songs are early demos which can only be described as sub-standard as far as sound goes. It doesn't affect the overall package for me, though.

A strong boxset that any 80's metal fan should own.

great and brill cdies.......2005-08-27

'Hollywood Rocks:Audio Companion'-Various Artists (Cleopatra/Deadline).......2005-08-17

A 4-CD box set,with 78 songs,informative booklet and an elaminated 'backstage' pass that actually looks real.Can Cleopatra STILL put out a must-have release or what?If you were attending live concerts in the '80's and early '90's,then you should remember at least most of these glam/metal/hair bands.Since I didn't have a CD player until a few years ago,there are many tracks here that I never did get on CD.Tunes like Armored Saint-"No Reason To Live",Mickey Ratt(early Ratt)-"Dr.Rock",,Lizzy Borden-"American Metal",Jetboy-"Feel The Shake",the original cut of W.A.S.P.-"Animal(I F*** Like A Beast)",Quiet Riot-"Let's Go Crazy" and Hellion-"Run For Your Life" more than bring back pleasant memories.Before rap and country had virtually taken over,before concert tickets started costing an arm and two legs,before Ebay existed and used record stores started dropping like flies,there was the '80's music scene.What a way to relive it.Recommended.
