Welcome to the 69 EYES EXPOSED page!

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS HUMOUR AND LANGUAGE SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND OFFENSIVE!

UPDATED 1/16/2003 - Revised and updated content!

Here's the album cover of "BUMP'N'GRIND". It was released in 1992. Now considering LSD hadn't been en vogue for like 25 years, it's pretty incomprehensible why they ended up with a cover like this. It looks like it came from a bad acid trip!

Note that the 69 Eyes official site (www.69eyes.com) doesn't admit that this album even EXISTS. Most people think the 69 Eyes are a relatively new band whose first album was Wasting The Dawn (1999), or some more cultivated might remember Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams (1997) or even Savage Garden (1995).

All these albums feature a darker sound than what is present on their debut. It includes not-so-gothic songs titled e.g. Juicy Lucy, Hot Butterfly, Sugarman and Blind For Love. On the more creepy side of things there are songs like Voodoo Queen, House By The Cemetery, Dream Master and The Hills Have Eyes, which aren't musically anything different. The sound of the album is very late-Eighties commercial hard rock. With quality lyrics like "She's juicy, juicy Lucy" it's really no wonder this album didn't break them big, considering that the Seattle thing was happening just about right then.

You hear people constantly going that these guys would be around 25 or so. Smartly enough, their birth years aren't talked about in the media, but considering how they looked in 1992, it's safe to say they weren't in their mid-teens back then, rather mid-twenties. Now let's go on to a nice group vintage photograph.

The line-up from left to right:
Jyrkie "Darling" - lead snarl, Timo-Timo - rhythm guitar, Archzie - bass guitar, Jussi - drums, Bazie - lead guitar

First you have the true gothic vampire king Jyrki 69 in a flowing, hippie big girl blouson cracking a gayer smile than Marq Torien from the Bullet Boys! Then there's Timo-Timo and Archzie who basically look the same as they do now, except for Archzie's Axl Rosesque scarf selection. Next we get Jussi pouting as if he was gonna be any more streetwise by trying to look tough. Even Rikki Rockett was more convincing at that during the Open Up And Say ... Ahh!-period. Well maybe not. Anyway, I digress. Bazie on the other hand looks just like he still does, but I guess resembling Mick Mars isn't that hard a goal to achieve and maintain.

As a bonus, here's another gay pouting from the dark gothic drum lord Jussi 69 and Bazie looking deader than Mick Mars and Alice Cooper combined.

If you have any old school 69 Eyes shit to be put on this page, have any comments or suggestions, can't take the joke, or just want to bother me with an e-mail, send it to exposed_69eyes@hotmail.com.
