Are Dangerous Toys, Danger Danger and Trickster the same band?

[HueyRamone]

I think they all had some kind of evil clown image?

Are they the same band?

If they are 3 different bands, what would you say is different about them? Is one heavier, or maybe more ACDC-inspired than the others?

[LAglamrocker]

Yes all same band
All inspired from Lillian Axe
Nobody is inspired from AC DC - they all think Back In Black is overrated garbage like i do

Cheerleader Metal is the best all cheerleaders loved them
Who doesn’t love Best Of Friends Bang Bang Road Of A Thousand Dreams

Dangerous Toys sucked.

Danger Danger had solid guitar work from Tony Rey and then Andy Timmons.

Trixter was cheesy pop metal.

[MattleyCrue]

All amazing.

Would rank Danger Danger, Trixter & Dangerous Toys

[skinni]

All amazing.

Would rank Danger Danger, Trixter & Dangerous Toys

i fully agree with the assessment

[DemonFilth2001]

All amazing.

Would rank Danger Danger, Trixter & Dangerous Toys

i fully agree with the assessment

I'd probably put Trixter first. Dangerous Toys would ne a very distant third.

[Wild Obsession]

You guys are smoking crack.....

The first 3 Dangerous Toys CD's are all solid.

Danger Danger debut is 2 great singles rounded out with a glut of limp wristed filler. 2nd CD "Screw It" it a dumpster fire and did more to kill the Sludge bands than Nirvava.

Trixter debut is one good song, 2nd CD was a little better.

In hindsight there was no reason for Truxter or Danger Danger to be signed, they brought nothing to the scene.

Dangerous Toys > Trixter > Danger Danger

[greengoblinrulz]

3 of my favs of that late 80s era that I had forgotten about for a long time but got back into em

[DonJuanDeMarco]

Dangerous Toys were sleazy, garage rock.

Trixter's first album sounded like it was recorded in a garage.

Danger Danger were very produced. That first record was equal parts hard rock and Survivor/Journey-type AOR rock.

After the debut records...
Dangerous Toys 2nd album was a letdown and I stopped listening after that.
Trixter "Hear" is actually great. Very strong and well produced. The cover EP was unnecessary. Their 2 comeback albums are strong for what they are but it's a different band.
Danger Danger have the best discography (except for the Dawn album where they went grunge). These guys really should've had more hits.

Financially...Trixter had hits. Danger Danger had a couple. Dangerous Toys had zero radio play. But OK.

[pieceofme]

Only know the first album from each of these bands.

They rank as follows:

Dangerous Toys > Danger Danger > Trixter.

Dangerous Toys sounds nothing like the other two. The other two are definitely more poppy sounding. Trixter being even more limp wristed. Dangerous Toys is more sleazy sounding. Like faster pussycat and la guns.

[Fat_Elvis]

The Defiants are better than both bands.

[LAglamrocker]

I like this band dressed like Alice In Chains in 1988
Lots of influence Alice In Chains had on this band- great makeup- badass sunset blvd big hair- dressed like LA Guns 1987-singer Layne Man In A Makeup Box singer dressed like Bret Michaels 1987! and Wham

What hits did Danger Danger have?

[ParaDime77]

Only in Sludge where I can tune into a Dangerous Toys, D2, Trixter debate.

One of the things I love about this place. And for the record, the answer is no. Dangerous Toys were waaaaaaay sleazier than Danger Danger or Trixter. D2 and Trixter had their sleazy come-ons about every other song or so while still managing to keep it melodic (though Screw It! did have a lot more sleaze than D2's debut). Dangerous Toys were more street metal sleaze. That's the type of hair metal that begets stuff like "Sport'n a Woody" more than what the other two put out.

[LAglamrocker]

What hits did Muderdolls and Wednesday 13 have
Naughty Naughty Bang Bang was so powerful in Hair Metal universe Alice Cooper wanted Danger Danger Mania on his tour..LA stop was Pantages Theater with an article in The Bible Metal Edge magazine

*all of Wednesday 13 solo CDs didn’t outsell Danger Danger #1 I bet

When is Ted Poley covering RAMBO?

Dangerous Toys sucked.

Danger Danger had solid guitar work from Tony Rey and then Andy Timmons.

Trixter was cheesy pop metal.

Pretty much this. Also, Dangerous Toys were a way too obvious GnR ripoff. Junkyard and even Sea Hags did the GnR ripoff thing better IMO.

No. The Dangerous Toys debut is better than both the junkyard and sea hags debut.

This place gets dumber every year.

Dangerous Toys were and still are better than either of the other two.

[Grendel]

They rank as follows:

Dangerous Toys > Danger Danger > Trixter.

at “Trixter better than Dangerous Toys. Dangerous Toys was awesome, and Trixter was DOGSHITE!

What about Johnny Crash?

[Psychobolia.com]

I've never listened to an entire Dangerous Toys, Danger Danger or Trickster album in my life.

BUT, I've seen Jetboy, Venrez and Hookers 'n' Blow in concert!

[daveg]

I used to argue non stop with a friend who thought Trixter were better than Sweet FA. He was wrong. And they fit in with those bands

I agree. Did I mess up the arrows? Yeah, I much prefer the dangerous toys first album compared to trixters

Yes, and you're proof of it.

-Rey and Timmons are light years ahead of DT's guitar players, whose names are not even worth mentioning
-Poley is a better singer than McMaster
-D2 has a much better discography
-"Slipped Her The Big One" is better than "Sportin' A Woody"

You are absolutely correct sir!

[Nobodyspecial]

Danger Danger are easily the best of the three. Their first three albums are great. If you haven't heard their 3rd album, do yourself a favor and give Cockroach a listen. There are two versions, I prefer the Ted Poley version over the Paul Laine version.
