Review

The ultimate collection of early demos and re-recorded hits from Sunset Strip legend, Pretty Boy Floyd!

Features glam-soaked favorites such as Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz, Shut Up, Good Girl Gone Bad and many more!

Pretty Boy Floyd have been a scene stealing presence at numerous Hollywood rock clubs and have appeared on several 80s metal compilations, including This Is 80s Hair Metal!

The band is once again staging a massive comeback due to the overwhelming demand of fans around the globe!

Anyone fortunate enough to have lived and breathed the nightlife of the late 80s Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California would surely remember this glam-metal quartet with the haystack hair! PRETTY BOY FLOYD s name alone set the tone for the band s entire image and stage persona, set against a background of big guitars, bubble-gum lyrics and sing-along melodies. Thanks to one of the band s founding members, Kristy Majors, we re able to bring you the ultimate collection of early demos and re-recorded hits from this Sunset Strip legend. Stick this one in and enjoy, but don t be stingy with the mascara! --Cleopatra Records --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glam is good, August 5, 2005

Rock am I - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ultimate Pretty Boy Floyd (Audio CD)

This is for the bonehead that wrote about glam being s**t. How old are you, 10 years old? I grew up listing to this and I think that it's a whole hell of a lot better than some of the crap they are playing now, music was music then, not just crap, like they play now.

If you can't understand why people like this, then maybe you need to go and clean out your ears and grow up more, because you are not a true metal head, true metal heads like me, can appreciate good music. I grew up with listing to venom, voivod, black flag, wrathchild, poisen and Ozzy, and many more artist than you can even ever imagine and I am in my late 30's and I still crank up PBF and other hair metal bands in my car.

3.0 out of 5 stars An OK Collection, June 24, 2004

"Ultimate PBF" is a decent collection of demos and studio tracks from the immortal glam band. Unfortunately, all these tracks have been released on previous albums so there's nothing new for the hardcore fans. Also, this cd only has 13 tracks. The last 2 tracks listed "Set the Night on Fire" & "Rock & Roll Outlaws" are not on the disc in any form. Somebody sure messed up.
To people new to the band, I'd recommend their debut album "Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz" over this. It's a lot more consistant and still ranks as my favorite. Not that "Ultimate PBF" doesn't have it's strong points. It's just that the muddy sounding demos seem out of place next to their slick studio work. I realize this is just an attempt by Deadline Records to make a buck off the PBF name(if that's even possible), but "Ultimate PBF" isn't bad. If they had offered up something a little different, my review would have been a bit more positive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not the best place to start, but a good collection for fans..., November 21, 2008

This review is from: Ultimate Pretty Boy Floyd (Audio CD)

The title "Ultimate Pretty Boy Floyd" makes it sound like a best-of, but it's not really. It's demos and early recordings of songs from other albums.

All in all, it's pretty damn good. Some of the sound/mastering is not the best, but they're demos. Plus, PBF really only recorded one album for a major label, and the rest has been DIY, so the grittier, not-polished sound is too be expected.

If you are new to PBF, and looking for a hits package, I wouldn't start with this...start with their first proper album: "Leather Boyz with Electric Toys" and the go from there. Because this is a band that deserves your attention, in my opinion.
