Jetboy – The Glam Years (Release Year – 2007)
In 2007, the reunited Jetboy released an excellent CD/DVD Compilation, simply titled, The Glam Years.
Jetboy is one the more unappreciated bands of the 80′s hard rock/glam metal era. The CD gives you 21 tracks of hard rocking goodness, that is more of a best of package than it is demos. A couple of the songs are of demo quality, especially On The Lips, but the rest sound like finished versions.
This CD, also includes Jetboy’s killer cover of Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues!
The CD has the best cuts off of Jetboy’s five previously released CD’s Feel the Shake, Damned Nation, Day In the Glamour Life, Lost and Found, Make Some More Noise, One More For Rock and Roll.
This 2 disc package is priced to sell (under 15 dollars at most line retailers)
and is worth the money for the CD alone. If you don’t own Jetboy’s out of print discs, Feel the Shake and Damned Nation already, this is the perfect way to reacquire some of the tunes from those records.
The DVD covers a live show the band did at the Whiskey A Go-Go in 1986. The video quality isn’t much to speak of, but it does do a good job of catching Jetboy in their prime. I enjoyed the live show on the DVD, as well as the tunes in this collection. I definitely recommend this to fans of 80′s glam metal.

Good review! Reality Check TV filmed and co-produced the bonus features on this disc, which is a proud moment for us. It’s always cool to do some work for good friends and have it turn out well!
