Slaughter was a success pretty much from the start. Formed in 1988, their debut album reached double platinum status in 1990, and their second album reached platinum in 1992.
Temperament that it hits on: Melancholic
This is a bit of a difference compared to the other two Slaughter songs on this blog - Spend My Life and Up All Night. While the other two songs are fast paced and full of energy, this song is much longer, slower, and more heartfelt. This kind of song was a commodity in the metal era, and Slaughter's is one of the best.
You know, I have published at least three hair metal songs about a woman who has died -this one, Fly High Michelle, and The Ballad Of Jayne. While I don't care much for Enuff Z'Nuff or LA Guns, Slaughter is one of my favorite bands.
