Cheesy 1980's/1990's local bands from my area;
1 - Scarycrow - they had a cool song entitled "Stand up and screaming loud!". One of the guitar players (Guilherme Guiminha) used to wear some stuff a lá Steve Vai and he also used to play a 07 string Ibanez model.
2 - Hard - I remember my band (Mash II) and Hard sharing the same bill twice in 1994 or 1995. Our lead singer said something like "Every chessy band has the Sebastian Bach that it deserves!". He was right - Hard' singer used to dress stuff a lá Sebastian, though he didn't have the same voice.
I wish I could have some pics to share here... .
