The Last Hard Men is the self-titled and only album from Jimmy Chamberlin's side project, The Last Hard Men, featuring former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach, The Frogs guitarist Jimmy Flemion, The Breeders guitarist–vocalist Kelley Deal.

Background

The group recorded a full-length, self-titled album for Atlantic Records, who then optioned not to release it. In 1998, it was released on Kelley Deal's label, Nice Records, with no fanfare and a very limited pressing of 1000 CDs, which may have been sold via mail order only. It was re-released on Spitfire Records in 2001 with slightly different versions of the songs (mostly varying in length) produced by Get Off My Bach Productions. Despite the lateness of its release the album reached number 22 on the Japanese Top 50 Album chart in 2002. The album can currently be purchased from online retailers such as Amazon and iTunes.

The song "Sleep" features a music video. The music video along with a live performance of "The Most Powerful Man in the World" were released on the Sebastian Bach DVD Forever Wild in 2004.
