Heat of the Moment by Slaughter

Guck by Slaughter

SONG-Guck

ALBUM-Revolution
YEAR-1997
Guck is the filler between Revolution and Heat of the Moment. A nice instrumental for a transitional piece of music.

Get Used To It by Slaughter

SONG-Get Used To It
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Fear No Evil
YEAR-1995

"Rock and Roll is here to stay!"

This song pounds hard and tells it like it is, just like AC/DC or KISS would tell you, "Rock and roll is here to stay, and, well, if you don't like them apples, there's the door, and here's my finger," but Slaughter says it in a good-hearted way.

Gave Me Your Heart by Slaughter

SONG-Gave Me Your Heart
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Stick It To Ya
YEAR-1990

"Gave me your heart, I won't break it"

Another soft, poppy song where Mark Slaughter's voice is sweet with promises of love. This song brings me back to the sound in the mid-70s where band mates splintered to form rival bands, much like Pilot, whose two members, Billy Lyall and David Paton used to be members of the Scottish group The Bay City Rollers, and their famous hit was, "Ho-ho-ho, it's magic..."
