Talkin' to the Sleazards (YOU are the Sleazards).

Sleazy Lizards calling world from the Underground Vault / Sound Factory Studios!

Hope you had a cool & wet week! ;)

Alright! First of all a big thanks to all of you! The way you respond & the way traffic goes in our online sL-communities is something that makes us smile every single day! Thank you so much! You fuckin' rock! Maybe is a common thing for others, but we can't ignore it & act as if there's nothing going on. After all, it's a sign that we somehow touch your souls with our music & efforts & we feel thankful & blessed for that.

Thanks to all our American friends (North & South). 

(On Jet's words "Never thought I could be so far from home & yet so close. Even though bro is still holdin' things together.")

Thanks to all  the Asian friends [ you are absolutely crazy :) ] !

Thanks to all European friends. Especially the crazy northern dudes & gals [ you know who you are ;) ] & those at Portugal & Spain (thumbs up!). Of course the whole central-&-eastern-Europe Sleazards (keep it alive, there's only one way to Rock N' Roll & it goes through the heart) & the islanders (big smile).

A very big thanks to the Greek Sleazards!

We know you love good music, even though the mainstream over there sucks (you know what we mean). Keep your head high & your ears open & the music will find its way :) Thank you!

Thanks to all friends from the land down under! Talkin' bout you mates from the Land of Oz! Rock N' Roll, babes!

& Of Course thanks to all the African friends. You took us by surprise & put big smiles on our faces! You are really appreciated!

Now... one more thing! Here are the Sleazy Lizards, this is Rock N' Roll, you are the Sleazards, SO DON'T BE SHY!!! We want your feedback & we want you to feel comfortable with the band. We want you to act crazy & wild just like the crazy motherfuckers you are. We want you to dance & basically we want you to feel FREE. In simple words we want you to ROCK!

So if you like something "Like" it. 

If you wanna comment on something "Comment". 

If you wanna scream, "Scream" (lol, but we really mean it!).

Those who experienced the Sleazy Lizards Live know that Jet is askin' for three things & it goes like that:

"Since this one is A Rock N' Roll show, 

I want you to move (#1) .... & I want you to dance (#2) ... & I want you to rock (#3).

Are you ready? Are you ready to rock? Are YOU ready to rock? ... Alright ... Here we go!"

& now a little SURPRISE! 'Cause of a cool new friend (thanks Thanos!) we've got a video from the last sL-live & it's on our Youtube channel in the section "Sleazy Lizards' Vault (Visual & Acoustic dreams...)". The song is "Rock Ballet" & you can get a taste. & don't forget the Official Clip of "Soundtrack" ! There's a whole story behind this one, but this conversation belongs to the future.

"We, the Sleazards" Chapter I: Life through Music.

Hey dudes & gals,

                       this is Jet once again. The night is cold, I'm sitting alone at home, while music is keeping company. Tunes from Eddie Vedder's "Into The Wild" are filling the room & I'm just thinkin'...

Thinkin' bout the the part music played in our lives. Thinkin' of me as a young boy, sitting alone in my room for hours doin' school's homework. All I had was a small cassette player, my best pal in these long hours. Mind was divided in two. Ears on the sounds, eyes on the books. But Mrs. Dusty Springfield, Mrs. Dionne Warwick, Jagger & Evans, Paul Anka & Neil Sedaka were there alive right in front of me. They were callin' me to travel on their own roads. And... I was listening on them... & many others... 

& then it was Iron Maiden & me singing outloud the solo's notes ("how sweet the sound of an electric guitar was").

& I was traveling deeper as the years went by.

Remember days starting with Six Feet Under tunes & ending with Kreator sounds. Remember parties where Michael Jackson & Roxette were allover. Remember slow dancin' with girls while Scorpions & White Lion were on the radio. & then... I was heartbroken. Just a rookie in what this life really is. I was searchin' for comfort & salvation & the Blues came in. The Blues along with Paradise Lost & Skid Row. Strange how different shades of music, can fill the same hole in a soul.

Long were the roads we were rolling upon & we were wishing for them to be longer. Ad (pronounced A.d.) was on the wheel & me on the side. Destination unknown... as long as there was music & good company. Iced Earth, Metallica, Bon Jovi & then some Tom Petty & the Rolling Stones. If it was Friday, then it was Danger Danger's "Everybody Wants Some" time, while Guns N' Roses & Queen were playing the whole week.

& the summer was here.

Serp. was back from London carrying all the new "trends". Korn, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson & a whole world of new sounds. We were laughin' like the kids we were & playing the Dj. Warm nights at the beach, dressed with trippin' sounds, were filling our minds & hearts with dreams. I wonder if these summers could last forever...

But autumn was here & Serp. had to fly back. Hugs & smiles & some hidden tears & once again, music right there to fill our troubled souls.

So much music, so many moments.

Many the things I want to share, but I realize once more how "little" words are. How to describe a life through music, when music was already there & will be here after this life.

Tears & Fears, Love & Anger, Smiles & Memories & insignificant details all were painted with music. Nothing has changed & we're still smilin' like the kids we are. Music makes us smile & go on. Just turn on the radio &... you'll see. See? You're smiling too.

 Jet 

(thanks for keepin' company, Eddie)

Let us know each other the way friends do. Introducing "We, the Sleazards".

Hey guys & girls,

                      this is Jet. As some of you may have already noticed, there is some activity going on on our page, while we are trying to set things right. You might have also seen, that there ain't a bio over there & that would be a proper thing to do. But, we would like to take a different route. 

Instead of putting down some soulless info about what was going on back in the day & how cool & great we are (laughing out loud), we decided on a more personal approach. In the coming months there will be a series of articles based on our life, our thoughts, our stories & personal interests, that will help you know us better & come to your own conclusions. The main title will be "We, the Sleazards", so keep this in mind!

They say that what matters in life is the journey & not the destination. 

We don't know where we'll end up, but we will make sure that this journey will be a beautiful one for you & for us. Thanks a lot for reading...

                                                       

Jet Papas 

on behalf of Sleazy Lizards
