Released: January 1980 Girl Sheer Greed Genre: Rawk Rating: 2.5 out of 5 Requisite 80s cover: “Do You Love Me” by Kiss. The original is better, this sounds like a soundcheck. Before they were in LA Guns and Def Leppard, respectively, Phil Lewis and Phil Collen were members of this British glam rock band. Okay. Remember how great Buckcherry’s first album was? And how much of a disappointment the follow up, Time Bomb, was?? Think of this as that in reverse. What those two guys would go on to is much better than this, and maybe that’s a testament to other songwriters being involved in the process. I think Traci Guns and, well, we all know what the Leppard guys can do. This, on the other hand is just a lot of lead licks and rhythm guitar smacking. “My Number” is okay. Nice, snotty glam, influenced a bit by Boomtown Rats.
