Re: Hair bands you loved in the 80s but now can't stand/are indifferent to them.
This could be a long list for some people... Guaranteed multiple paragraphs from Tommy2Tone84 about Motley Crue...And then going on about the Scorpions and how they should have been more popular instead... Am I wrong? You normally are for a lot of things. :) :lol: Not on this, I’m not. Scorpions > ...

Re: L.A. PROTESTS ... How bad is this going to get? Will it turn into the Riots of 1992?
Is this going to be 1992? NFW. To me it's more of a States Rights vs Feds. In this case the Fed goon squad shows up unannounced at Home Depot in DTLA, of course some shit will go down. Then the National Guard is brought in for a city protest without consent. Let the city/state handle until they ask...

Re: A Hairband You Hated Or Were Indifferent To In The 80s
I was never much of an Aerosmith fan at the time (from around when Permanent Vacation came out onwards) but I've been playing the shit out of them this year, watched a ton of concerts and loved all of it, all eras. I think it was hearing Draw The Line on a playlist that pulled me in. That’s interes...

Re: Krokus’ 1983 Headhunter: Brilliant or Bogus?
To me, it was somewhere in the middle between brilliant and bogus. They had a couple tunes here and there, namely, Eat The Rich and Screaming In The Night. Ballroom Blitz was just OK. Otherwise I wasn’t a fan. The album they did that had Schools Out on it was pretty lame too. That image was whack.....

Krokus’ 1983 Headhunter: Brilliant or Bogus?
IIRC, these guys were a bunch of dirty Swedes. F*ck Anvil. Krokus were the real deal. Their 1983 release Headhunter is a hair metal masterpiece imo, with a heavy whiff of NWOBHM that should have risen to the top above laughable American clowns like Motley Crue, WASP and Quiet Riot at the time. They ...

A Hairband You Hated Or Were Indifferent To In The 80s
Only to become a fan later on at some point. For me it was Europe. I didn’t hate them but could take or leave them back in the 80s. I never rushed out to buy their shit. I think I bought Out of This World in the cassette cutout bin in 1990. Now they are a favorite of mine. They are way better than m...

Re: When you lost interest in a favorite band

My 2 cents. I keep hearing or reading innocent people are being swept off the street, yet I’ve seen no proof. Of course the left blames trump cause ya know have to be the opposite of him. In addition, yes he has the national guard there, but they have yet to engage in anything other than protecting...

Re: Why is it un-american to dislike the Beach Boys ?
The deeper I got into Brian Wilson and learning about how he understands music, and how he interprets it, the more I got into the Beach Boys. I'm a huge Beatles fan, I might listen to them every day, but I don't think Lennon was a genius. I like Dylan almost as much--not a genius. Both brilliant, b...

Re: Bad Rock Career Decisions
If we're gonna talk Van Halen, the glaringly terrible career decision is Ed not cutting an instrumental album in the mid eighties. There was never a bigger demand that was not met in the history of rock and roll. Could have cut the thing in a week at 5150 and just printed money. Ed and VH were prin...
