History:
Sleaze metal legends that were burned out after one album and tour. Their manager once stated, "there's only so far you can get with three junkies and one alcoholic," words that would later prove too be true.
  Formed in San Francisco, California by Ron Yocom (vocals/guitar), Chris Schlosshardt (bass) and Greg Langston (drums). Metallica's Kirk Hammett produced their demo, and Ian Astbury of the Cult showed interest in producing the full-length debut. However it would Mike Clink (who had just scored big with Guns N'Roses) who would try and harness the bands music. During the recordings, session guitarist Kevin Russell was brought in and Langston replaced by ex-Legal Weapon skin-pounder Adam Maples. Frankie Wilsey was named the permanent lead guitarist in November 1988.
  The debut album and tour was postponed due to Yocom and Schlosshardt's drug indulgences, and the label helped them get clean before sending them out to promote the album. However it was short-lived, as Schlosshardt died of a heroin overdose in 1991, thus ending the legacy of the Sea Hags.
  Maples almost replaced Steven Adler in Guns N'Roses, and Wilsey (using the surname of Wilsex) joined Stephen Pearcy and Fred Coury in Arcade. After disappearing for several years, Yocom finally resurfaced in the band Power Of 3. Self-destruction at it's best.
