Depends on his carpet cleaning schedule. Just a jealous, bitter, sore loser who should be thanking the hair metal gods for his 15 minutes of fame, and I say this as a huge Ratt fan.

They never needed to because that would have defeated the point of them being Motörhead, wouldn't it?

Without the Night should have been a single.

This has been discussed here before, but I wholeheartedly agree!

I actually got a Slik Toxik shirt from Mercari for Christmas, so I'll say that one.

Welll sumbitch.... there's a doc on Tears Are Not Enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhfPbpUYX5A Featuring John Candy, no less. He must've thought "Well, if Dan Aykroyd can guest on 'We Are the World' then I can join one, too!". Geddy Lee at the 29:03 mark for the Rush fans, BTW.

"Without the Night", one of Kip and Co.'s best ballads. The "Miles Away" thread got me in the mood for this one.

'Saint gets some deserved love around here, and Decline of Western Civ II does too for many reasons, but what about a bridge gapper for both...Mr. Jeff Duncan? No bullshit...you think he's a good guitarist/backup vocalist/band guy or no? Dude went from Odin to Lostboys to Armored Saint so as far as...

Winger (though as far as Winger ballads go I prefer "Headed For a Heartbreak" and "Without the Night" from the debut), but also throw in Fastway's "Miles Away" from 1990's Bad Bad Girls . I love pretty much any of that Lea Hart-era Fastway/True Brits stuff (constant rem...

Bob Charlie:



And the Scorps, though that Yes song is very good as well.

Unless you're RJD. He cries for them.

Almost forgot about this one: Diddy (back when he was Puff Daddy) and Jimmy Page sampling "Kashmir" on "Come With Me" from the soundtrack to that late 90's Godzilla movie that bombed terribly:

Not unless he's screaming "Gimme some reggae!"

Yeah, and that's one of the most obvious since Jason's in that band.

Jeff Young tried out for Danger Danger before their first album came out & didn’t get the gig. So he lost out to Tony Bruno Rey? I've always liked his riffs. The S/T and the two Saraya albums have some good stuff on them. And of course Tony left in the middle of recording and got replaced by An...

"Over My Head", even with its repetitive lyrics, is my pick for their best song. The aforementioned "It's Love", "Summerland", and "Black Flag" are probably my next three favorites after that.

Does Snug even post here anymore, out of curiosity? If he did, would we be getting a denial along with his side of the story?

Agreed, but are we sure that’s Dorothea in that third picture and not Fiona Flanagan? ‘Cause it sure looks like Fiona.

I had no idea that Hetfield was a huge fan of their 1st release - can't imagine him listening to "Smooth Up in Ya" without laughing. I'm fairly sure most of these thrash bands at some point or another have finally admitted to liking the hair metal acts of their day to a certain extent. Th...

The verses on KC's "Get It On" are heavily inspired by "Kashmir". That's another great example.

I prefer Aerosupply more than barely, but I do enjoy Air Supply as far as good classic yacht rock goes.

I always think of 1988 as the commercial peak of hair metal. If you want an exact date: September 23, when it was half of the Billboard Top 10. https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/1988-09-23/ That week was also notable for looking ahead to the future with "...And Justice for All&quo...

Love 'em both, but I prefer AIC.

Wow nice list. Just an EPIC year

Agreed. Two others worth mentioning:

House of Lords - s/t
Jetboy - Feel the Shake

Roxx Gang- Things You’ve Never Done Before

Yep. Also: Europe - Out of This World

Oh my, where to begin? 1988 was a classic year for 80's metal/hard rock: Poison - Open Up and Say Ahh... Cinderella - Long Cold Winter Ratt - Reach For the Sky Winger - s/t L.A. Guns - s/t Kix - Blow My Fuse Bon Jovi - New Jersey G'n'R - Lies Bulletboys - s/t Britny Fox - s/t Kingdom Come - s/t Vix...

Time to celebrate a day late! It’s one of the Sludge Holy Trinity, for crying out loud! Somebody should have reminded someone on here!

Another awesome haul, Mattley! I’m especially loving the Ratt, Steelheart, Love/Hate, and Hot in the Shade tees!

I was thinking you might have been at the '87 Ratt/Poison Spectrum show I mentioned. IIRC, didn't ya you were working for one of those two bands at the time?
