Faster Pussycat is a band formed in the mid 80’s often associated with the scene, and belonging to the sleaze subgenre along side other late 80’s bands like Guns N’ Roses, L.A. Guns, and Dangerous Toys.

The name Faster Pussycat was taken from a 1965 film called “Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” The name was originally meant for Tracii Guns’ new band after leaving Guns N’ Roses. After getting financial backing if he used the L.A. Guns name again, Tracii’s friend Taime Downe took the name and formed Faster Pussycat with lead guitarist Brent Muscat, the only member to perform on all Faster Pussycat releases besides Taime.

They released their self titled debut in 1987, as well as their follow up “Wake Me When It’s Over” in 1989, during the last years of glam metal’s commercial viability. They reached their commercial plateau with their hit ballad “House of Pain” off of their second album, which managed to go gold.

With the rise of in the early 90’s, Faster Pussycat’s style of music fell out of favor, despite having little in common with the chart topping glam bands at the time, such as Warrant and Slaughter. They released their third album “Whipped!” to little success in 1992. Sensing the change in musicial tastes, they disbanded and went on to various other projects, with frontman Taime Downe going onto form an industrial rock band called Newlydeads.

In 2001, Taime released “Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy” with some former members of Faster Pussycat under the moniker, which contained newer versions of older songs.

    I think that they were way way cooler than GNR. Faster Pussycat and L.A. Guns both are two of the Top 10 best Glam Metal acts of all time. FP's 1st album's a great rock & roll offering with awesome tracks such as Bathroom Wall and No Room for Emotion. But you guys already know this. It's just that it bugs me that a band like GNR gets an induction to the RNR Hall of Fame, just because they were huge back in the day, and although they were good, they weren't as on point with the whole Glam Metal genre as Faster Pussycat and/or L.A. Guns were. No induction for those bands of course. GNR gets the royal treatment. Anyway... Faster Pussycat rules y controla.
