BANG TANGO’S JOE LESTE: FROM BAD GIRL TO BAD BOY

 Friday, January 18th, 2008 at 10:55am by

Bang Tango frontman Joe Leste underwent quite a transformation from his heyday in the late ’80s to his turn-of-the-century “GN’R for the new milleunium” project Beautiful Creatures.

Leste may never have made as pretty a girl as Bret Michaels, but he did his damndest to try in the “Breaking Up A Heart Of Stone” video:

Contrast that with the tough-guy / biker image of recent years in the Beautiful Creatures video for “Step Back”:

We hear rumors of a Bang Tango appearance at Rocklahoma 2008. Say it ain’t so, Joe! We’re still waiting for that next BC tour.

    wow, that “Step back” song is almost straight out of the nu-metal playbook, sounds like a generic WWF entrance music even. i remember those clowns were at Ozzfest at one point, obviously the slot was paid for by Warner Bros. oh hey, also remember their guitarist, Anthony the Fog-machine guy, that tried to fake his age to be much younger in Metal Sludge? and he was busted b/c he was a drummer before and he was the drummer for Cassandra’s band in Wayne’s World?? what a dumbass :-D

    “tough-guy / biker image”? Yeah, if he’s on the back of the back as someone’s bitch maybe.

    Blas Elias from Slaughter was the drummer in that movie. Get your shit straight before running your mouth about someone. You end up looking worse than the person you’re trying to bash.
