Truly went "Out with a bang"
The third and final studio album from Faster Pussycat shows they were heading in an exciting direction. Some people thought it didn't rock out as much as the first two but songs like "Jack" and "Body thief" kept that rocking sound going.

The band expanded their horizons greatly with the 7 minute epic "Nonstop to nowhere" which should have been a hit...... "Big dictionary" and "Loose booty" were funny, light-hearted care free tracks about women, again nothing serious but always brings a smile to your face just like the rest of the band's output.

"Maid in wonderland" has great vibes to it, similar to Enuff Z'Nuff, the Beatles or Cheap Trick, maybe even Oasis who weren't big at the time. "Madam Ruby's Love Boutique" had a fine groove to it. "Cat Bash" was a backlash to all the critics, one you got to hear to believe sort of like GNR's "Get in the ring" in a way except that it isn't a regular song. "Out with a bang" was a very prophetic closer as this band went out with a bang with this great record and were gone from the scene just months later.

Only a couple ballad types made it on here, well three. "Mr. Lovedog", a emotional track called "Friends" sent out to 'the boys or bros' rather than any women. And the third ballad is another ballad about abuse, "Only way out" similar to "House of Pain." Clearly one of the best of 1992 and I would rank it up there with the other two albums, slightly different but not a sell-out, not a heavier, modern attempt to stay hip, the songs and writing have slightly matured a bit here and there but it is all evolution rather than a drastic change. Not everything on the album is overly 'catchy' so those who say it was a commercial album lack the knowledge. If you got their other stuff, you have got to track this one down.

Not only underrated but where 11 years too early!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have been hooked on Faster Pusseycat, since 1987. Love them for just doing their own thing and not copying what every other band was releasing. Also that they didn't care what the critics thought about them and their faith in what they where doing. (In 1987, too many bands weren't themselves merely doing what ever their label wanted and consequently selling out.) I have always liked the combination of Brent Muscat and Greg Steele on guitar. I also liked the edition of Brett Bradshaw on drums. Got to see Faster Pussycat with Brett on drums three weeks after joining them, in Maine and he's awesome. He knew their stuff and much better than Mark Michals. I Really liked Whipped!, mostly for the variety they give you and for their songwriting. My favorites on the album where: "Nonstop To No where", "Big Dictionary", "Madam Ruby's Love Boutique", and "Mr. Lovedog". Recently, replaced my copy of Whipped!. Lost my original copy , moving and didn't replace it since I also have it on tape. My only complaint about Whipped is this. I owe a copy of "Belted, Buckled and Booted" a four song CD Single. I'm dumbfounded that "Too Tight" and Charge Me Up" are on the single, but left off of Whipped! here in the US. (It's on the Japan release.) Because their awesome songs and should have been on the album also. I could see, both "Cat Bash" and "Loose Booty" on a single or just make it 14 track release. Who knows maybe they would have kept them signed on Elektra and they would still be around today going strong. If you can find the above single it's a must have and really good. The other two songs on it are, "Nonstop To Nowhere" & "You're So Vain". (Amazon does have a couple used listed.)
Listening to the music today too much of it not only bad. But Faster Pusseycat was already playing most of it on their three releases between 1987 to 1992 and especially on Whipped!. Plus Taime, Brent, Greg, Eric and Brett are all great with what they do in the band and highly talented. Unlike too many of todays bands. They are Original one of a kind. All three of their releases are must haves and well worth it regardless the cost.

Whipped.....Yes Please!!
Faster Pussycat (FP) were one of those bands you either loved or hated. I personally rated them as one of favourites alongside LA Guns. After their successful self-titled debut, released at the same time as Appetite for Destruction and the heavier second album Wake Me When Its Over FP released this little gem. Full of whitty tongue-in-cheek lyrics like Big Dictionary,Madam Ruby's Love Boutique, Catbash and the ever so catchy opener Nonstop to Nowhere whipped has songs for every rock fan. Described as the poor mans G'n R, FP were much, much more even to this day I still have the CD my car stereo. So go on try this you won't be disappointed. Great lyrics, excellent tunes and guiters and bass to kick you in the .... you won't find much better.
