1. Pretty Boy Floyd is a glam metal… Read Full Bio ↴At least two bands have this name:
1. Pretty Boy Floyd is a glam metal band that formed in 1988 in Hollywood, California. After play only eight shows, they were snapped up by MCA Records. Starting out at the tail end of the 80s' sleazy rock scene, they're best known for their 1989 debut album 'Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz'.
Not too long ago, when a movement rose saying that rock was about having a good time, letting your hair down, and trying to create a little chaos and anarchy to have fun, four guys got together in Hollywood and formed a band. NYC guitarist Kristy Majors hooked up with west coast front man Steve Summers and laid the foundation for their dream band. They jammed, wrote songs together, and played constantly to get their sound right. The band chose the name “Pretty Boy Floyd” because it seemed to describe them well, being four teen toughs armed with guitar licks and teenage angst who set out to conquer the musical world.
The group signed to MCA records and released 'Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz', a 1989 album whose very name was a tongue-in-cheek tip of the hat to the group's glamorous heroes such as Kiss, the New York Dolls, and Sweet. Those previous bands had also believed that rock music wasn't just music, being part show, part spectacle, and part lifestyle (“a prostitute to be trumped up and tarted around like a band aid or cheap whore” in the words of David Bowie). The Howard Benson-produced album made a significant impact, being named one of the hottest albums of its genre by the 'Metal Edge' and 'Spin' magazines.
Pretty Boy Floyd landed on the cover of metal bible Kerrang! and their two Top 20 videos “I Wanna Be With You” and “Rock and Roll is Gonna Set the Night on Fire” hit MTV, back when MTV ran videos instead of reality shows. The band toured the world and were recognized as the kings of the Sunset Strip, breaking attendance records held by Van Halen and Warrant. Their album would go on to sell 750,000 copies worldwide.
As the new millennium rolled in, new music fans began to wonder what they had missed. While most Pretty Boy Floyd fans were at an age that you wouldn’t commonly associate with concert goers, a whole new breed of young fans who weren’t even out of school when the band first emerged began to rediscover their music. The original fans and the new fans meshed on their common ground - a love of Pretty Boy Floyd’s music, sleazy shows, and fun times. Never mind what the critics think, or what trends may have come and gone.
Having outlasted many of the critics who cried “they’ll never make it,“ Pretty Boy Floyd continues to record and tour the world. Their current lineup: Steve Summers - Vocals ~ Kristy Majors - Guitar ~ Criss 6 - Bass ~ Ben Graves - Drums
2. Canadian hard rock/glam metal band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada active in 1987-1990. They released Bullets & Lipstik EP in 1988 and Bullets & Lipstik LP in 1989. They eventually renamed the band to Tommy Floyd.
Two Hearts
Pretty Boy Floyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Round and round it goes
Two hearts beat together
When it stops nobody knows
You say you’re much too young
You didn’t know any better
You’re trying to be happy and hope it lasts forever
Hope it lasts forever
‘Cause holding hands ain’t good enough
Never meant to hurt no one
Just to kiss, and try to make a love
Then the sound became, your love can change like weather
You’re a million miles away, and you sent in all those letters
I sit alone in bed, and want to feel all your kisses
But since we’re still I sin
It’s you whom I’ve been missing
You’ve been all I’m missing
Cause holding hands ain’t good enough
Never meant to hurt no one
Just to kiss and try to make a looooove!
Cause holding hands ain’t good enough
Never meant to hurt no one
Just to kiss and try to make a love
Two hearts beat together
Hope it lasts forever
We forget your name
Or the ring that’s on my finger
I’m standing in the rain
Like an almost fading picture…
The song "Two hearts" by Pretty Boy Floyd is a nostalgic tune about a young couple who fall deeply in love on a ride. The chorus of the song emphasizes the fact that kissing is not enough for the singer, as he yearns to be with his lover physically, to hold her and feel her kisses. The first verse paints a picture of the two lovers on a ride, presumably on a ferris wheel or merry-go-round, with their hearts beating as one. The ride eventually comes to an end, leaving the two dizzy and in love, but unsure if their love will last. They are both young, and this is their first love, so they don't know what the future holds for them. They hope their love will last forever, but they are aware of the uncertainty of love.
The second verse is about the distance between the two lovers. The singer is a million miles away, and his lover has been sending him letters. He is longing for her, and he wants to feel her kisses again. The line "since we're still I sin" is likely a reference to the distance between the two lovers, which is preventing them from being intimate in the physical sense. The last part of the song talks about the eventual fading of memories. The singer forgets his lover's name and the ring she gave him, while he stands in the rain, looking at an almost faded picture. This is a metaphor for how memories fade with time, but the love they shared will always be part of their history.
