Amazing after all this time there are fans out there that had no idea Stiv Bators, (front man for the Lords of the New Chuch and the Dead Boys) had died ! Seriously.
Bators passed away after he was hit by a car while leaving a club in New York. He refused to go to a hospital and went home where he expired.
The track DANCE WITH ME disappointed me when i first got it. I saw Stiv standing on the back of a moving car screaming wildly in a rock promotion commercial for one of their new albums, A Method to Our Madness (?)This really got my attention. Fearing that I was missing out on something I went and bought the first release I could get my hands on. And that was this track.
Looking back on it now this track is OKAY, a bit tame, and even a bit likeable. Hardly not the stuff I expected from an ex-Dead Boy. Another bit of interesting trivia this was also the boyfriend of Martha Quinn, (one of the original MTV VJ's).
