Tuff (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tuff are an American Glam Metal/Hair metal band formed in 1989 in Phoenix Arizona by Jim Gillette (vocals), Jorge DeSaint (guitar), Todd Chase (bass) and Michael Lean (drums). Gillette soon departed and was replaced by Stevie Rachelle.
The band went onto have minor success with their debut album What Comes Around Goes Around mostly due to the single "I Hate Kissing You Goodbye."
In 2001, Tuff released the compilation CD The History of Tuff. It includes the song "American Hair Band," a parody of Kid Rock's "American Bad Ass" (both of which incorporate the instrumentals of Metallica's "Sad But True"). "American Hair Band" makes references to numerous U.S. bands such as Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, Guns N' Roses, Warrant, Twisted Sister, Poison and KISS and even the non-American bands Def Leppard and AC/DC, while at the same time, deriding 1990s Grunge and Alternative Rock.
