Mr. Big

All right, all right, all right
She called up an old friend
Talkin' bout black Lebanese
A dirty room, a silver coke spoon

Black Napolese
It got ya weak in your knees
They're gonna seize some dust
That you got bust on
You know its hard to believe

30 Days In The Hole
30 Days In The Hole
30 Days In The Hole
(That's what they give me)
30 Days In The Hole

Newcastle brown
I'm tellin' ya-can sure smack you down
Ya take a greasy whore in a rolling dance floor
Got your head spinnin' round
If ya live on the road
Well there's a new highway code
Ya take the urban noise
And some terrible poison
Gonna lesson your load

30 Days In The Hole
30 Days In The Hole
30 Days In The Hole
30 Days In The Hole

Black napolese
It got ya weak in your knees
They're gonna seize some dust
That you got bust on
You know its hard to believe
New castle brown
I'm tellin' ya-can sure smack you down
Ya take a greasy whore in a rolling dance floor
You know your jail house bound

30 Days In The Hole (X8)

Mr. Big is an American hard rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1988. The band was originally composed of Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar, backing vocals), Billy Sheehan (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Pat Torpey (drums, percussion, backing vocals). They are noted especially for their music, and have scored a number of hits. Their songs are often marked by strong vocals and vocal harmonies. Their hits include “To Be with You” (a number-one single in 15 countries in 1992) and “Just Take My Heart”. The band takes its name from a song by Free, which it covered on the 1993 album Bump Ahead.

Mr. Big remained active and popular for over a decade despite internal conflicts and changing music trends, releasing four studio Mr. Big (1989), Lean into It (1991), Bump Ahead (1993) and Hey Man (1996). Guitarist Paul Gilbert departed the band in 1999, and Richie Kotzen was brought as a guitarist and vocalist. The band released two more albums with this Get Over It (1999) and Actual Size (2001). Mr. Big broke up in 2002.

Following requests from fans, Mr. Big reunited with its original line-up in 2009. The band’s first post-reunion tour was in Japan. In 2010, Mr. Big released its first album in 15 years with the same What If…. During the recording of the follow-up album …The Stories We Could Tell (2014), Pat Torpey was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and participated only marginally as a drum producer and touring support. The band’s ninth album, Defying Gravity (2017), was its last record involving Torpey; he died the following year. Not wanting to continue without Torpey, the band intends to release a final studio album, conduct a farewell tour and disband.
