After signing with United Artists, where there was airplay in the USA, the record company financially contributed to touring - so with those first two albums, we were on a roll! The band was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and local radio stations were quick to jump on the “Local Lads Make Good” campaign! Then the three releases on local recording labels Streetwise and Legend followed with moderate Midwestern USA success. The first album seemed to generate the most amount of sales. Thinking of You was a real popular song and so was Last Rock N Roller. The Steve Grimm Band still does a rendition of the song Machines which is on the first Bad Boy album. Then the song Girls, Girls, Girls (not the Motley Crue song) from Back to Back hit real big, too, so we were flying high. The songs Thunder & Lightning and Cheat on Me from Electric Eyes received lots of airplay here in the USA’s Midwest. She Can(Drive You Crazy) and Midnight Love were most popular from Girl on The Run, One song that was never released on an album Mama, Mama got some airplay. Many thought that would be the song to break us into the major market again.
I’d have to say that the first album The Band That Milwaukee Made Famous is the best Bad Boy album. It certainly was the most fun to make! My favorite Bad Boy song-hmmmm- probably Cheat On Me from Electric Eyes, but I definitely prefer all the songs on The Steve Grimm Band’s Heaven’s In Your Heart CD to any of the Bad Boy songs. The songwriting is much more complex and I put much more time into Heaven’s In Your Heart than any of the Bad Boy albums.
