"Bring your poison and an attitude. Come on and let the party begin." Sexy riff to get into a dangerous situation with...Slaughter Nation shakin' it. Bang your head on a brick wall, this song would go over like gang busters in a live show.

Burnin' Bridges by Slaughter

SONG-Burnin' Bridges
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Stick It To Ya

YEAR-1989

If you are goin' to be burnin' bridges, you might as well have the lyrics, "liar, liar, with your pants on fire." This song is one of my favorites. Slaughter doesn't hold back telling all those silly "prissy" prissies that it's time to get on with their lives. Hit me while the flame is hot, why doncha?

All Fired Up by Slaughter

SONG-All Fired Up
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Back to Reality

YEAR-1999

"Got my motor runnin'." Heavy hitting, just like most of the songs on the Back to Reality album. Love how Mark Slaughter adds that extra "a" on his words. "Burn-a." There is some very innovative guitar playing on this track using futuristic-sounding riffs. "Burn-a!"

You're My Everything by Slaughter

SONG-You're My Everything
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Revolution
YEAR-1997

Throwback to the gentle 70s, this love anthem sings to the heart of someone's everything. There's a flavor of The Eagles, "Tequila Sunrise" when Mark Slaughter sings, "Every night when the Sun goes down, all I want is to be around you," makes me want to sing, "Every night when the Sun goes down, just another lonely boy in town."

Songwriter-Mark Slaughter & Dana Strum

You Are the One by Slaughter

SONG-You Are the One
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Stick It To Ya
YEAR-1989

"You are the one, the one I need to make my dreams come true. Oh, you should know, I love you so."

Slaughter is really good at singing love ballads, even when I'm thinking of a different song every time I hear,  "You Are the One."

Compare Lionel Richie's "You Are."  "You are the sun, you are the rain, that makes my life this foolish game. You need to know I love you so."

Searchin' by Slaughter

SONG-Searchin'
ARTIST-Slaughter
ALBUM-Fear No Evil

I am constantly searching for Mr. RIGHT. My midnight blue mustang will have to do.

One of Slaughter's greatest rock songs. They don't utilize the power of this song in their live performances. If this song was on their setlist, the amps would be on fire.
