Search - Black 'N Blue :: Hell Yeah

Portland rockers Black n' Blue released four successful an critically acclaimed albums through Geffen Records including their self-titled debut (1984), "Without Love" (1985), "Nasty Nasty" (1986), and "In Heat" (1987), With the latter two produced by the legendary Gene Simmons of KISS. Black 'n Blue sold over a million albums throughout their tenure in the 80's. The band scored a hit single in "Hold On To 18" (which was featured on the group's first release), a track that is widely known as Hard Rock classic and still garners airplay on stations across the country. In addition, the band toured relentlessly with the likes of KISS, Aerosmith, Queensryche, Yngwie Malmsteen, among other platinum acts. In early 2003 Black 'N Blue reformed in the original lineup, without guitarist Tommy Thayer who replace Ace Frehley in KISS. The band began recording a new album titled "Hell Yeah!" Recording of the album came to a halt when Jaime St. James joined Warrant as their new lead vocalist in February of 2004. Jaime has been touring the world with Warrant for the past years. Finally in 2009 the band got back in the studio and finished the "Hell Yeah!" album, a record that goes back to the roots of the "classic" Black 'N Blue sound, mixing tight and hard rocking songs with a sleazy attitude.
