2) Slaughter is an American rock band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, by lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum. The band reached stardom in 1990 with their first album Stick It to Ya, which spawned several hit singles including "Up All Night", "Spend My Life", "Mad About You" and "Fly to the Angels". The album reached double platinum status in the United States. The band remains a steady act in national tours, mainly in the Rock Never Stops Tour which features several bands of the same era.
The band formed in 1988 with Mark Slaughter on vocals, Dana Strum as bassist, Tim Kelly on guitars and Blas Elias on drums. Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum had previously played together in Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Their debut album Stick It To Ya saw 3 songs hit the Billboard Hot 100: "Fly To the Angels (#19)", "Up All Night (#27)", and "Spend My Life (#39)".
Unlike many of the bands from the era who were suddenly phased out in the wake of the alternative movement, Slaughter remained intact and continued to produce new records. In 1992, the released their second album, titled The Wild Life. It had the Billboard Hot 100 hit "Real Love (#69)" and was certified platinum.
The band planned to dedicate themselves to their next album. However, in 1993 guitarist Tim Kelly was arrested for charges of drug trafficking, while bassist Dana Strum had a motorcycle accident that injured his playing hand. This delayed the recording of the album, but they kept working on it while Kelly was meeting with attorneys and Strum was rehabilitating. They finished the recording on February 1994 when Strum was completely rehabilitated.
At this time, they negotiated to be released from their label and signed with CMC Records. In 1995, they finally released Fear No Evil. Despite little success in the US, the album did well in Japan. Guitarist Dave Marshall (ex-Vince Neil band) had to fill in for Kelly at times, due to his legal problems.
Some time later, Kelly's legal troubles ended and the band committed to their next album. In 1997, they followed it with Revolution. This album featured a more eclectic and psychedelic sound, but again it was mostly ignored by the media.
In February 5, 1998, tragedy struck when guitarist Tim Kelly was killed in an auto accident in the Arizona desert. This deeply affected the band, but they were committed to continue with the band. Again, guitarist Dave Marshall briefly performed as a touring guitarist for Slaughter in Japan. In 1999, they hired Jeff Blando as Kelly's replacement and began working on their next album. A live album titled Eternal Live was released featuring some of the band's last performances with Kelly.
In 1999, they resurged with Back to Reality, featuring Blando as the new guitarist. Blando was previously in Left For Dead and Saigon Kick. Since then, Slaughter continues to play many rock package tours with other acts that saw prominence during the glam era of the late 1980s and very early 1990s.
During the summer of 1999, while on the "Rock Never Stops Tour" (which included Ted Nugent and Night Ranger), Slaughter enjoyed a brief commercial resurgence, and had the "#1 Track" on the "VH-1" CD "Power Ballads" with "Fly To The Angels" and "Up All Night" became the "#1 Track" on Rhino Records "Hard Hitters," and also took part in the Summer 2000 "Poison, Cinderella, Dokken and Slaughter" tour.
In 2001 Slaughter was a part of the "Voices of Metal" tour featuring Vince Neil (of Mötley Crüe), Ratt, and Vixen.
Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum's former Vinnie Vincent Invasion bandmate Bobby Rock has played as a touring drummer for Slaughter, filling in for Blas Elias on some shows of the Rock Never Stops Tour.
In April of 2004, Slaughter released a DVD-A entitled Then and Now that features 12 songs and 50 rare photos of the band over the years. Slaughter will also have a DVD that features all of the music videos and behind the scenes footage during the 2004 season.

She Wants More
Slaughter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
movies She don't like no show
But she likes to see how far
Your credit card can go
Gonna push it to the limit
All the way to the top
Don't say that word
'Cause you know she can't stop
It's Mastercard or Visa
Or American Express
She knows all of your limits
And which stores are the best
In Beverly Hills oh yes
She's drivin' in your sports car
Bought her tickets to Paris, France
She's gamblin' in Las Vegas
She's got to take a change
On your cash, babe
She ain't got not bills at home
And as a matter of fact
She ain't got no house to own
She's driving in that
Big black limosine
And she acts just like
A fashion beauty queen
Say hello to Miss Universe
Thank you very much
She wants more, more, more
She wants more, more, more
She took your very last dollar
With a calculatin' grin
Hey dude, I feel sorry for you
'Cause I know where you've been
It's kind of hurts right here, doesn't it?
Ow!
She ain't got not bills at home
And as a matter of fact
She ain't got no house to own
She's driving in that
Big black limosine
And she acts just like
A fashion beauty queen
Say hello to Miss Universe fellas
She wants more, more, more
She wants more, more, more
The lyrics to Slaughter's song She Wants More tell the story of a woman who is focused on material possessions and the luxuries money can buy. The singer describes taking her to the movies, even though she's not interested in seeing any movies, only to test the limits of his credit card. The woman knows his credit card limits and which stores are best for shopping. She is portrayed as a gold digger, who is only interested in using her partner's money to fund her own lavish lifestyle. She takes all of his money without any concern for his financial well-being.
The lyrics go on to describe how she lives a life of luxury, without having any responsibilities or bills to pay. She drives around in a big black limousine, acting like a fashion beauty queen. The singer implies that she is shallow and superficial, only caring about herself and her own wealth. She wants more and more, with no regard for anyone else's feelings or circumstances. The song seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of materialism and the destructive nature of greed.
