They still looked cooler than the EEAS band.

One of lifes great mysteries - how the coolest band in the world splinter into two of the dorkiest bands in rock.

GTFOOH. The EEAS tour was the closest thing to the original '78 - '84 heyday. The Spazzy-era parachute and banana pants were terrible. They looked like a garage band, and their potluck setlists reflected it.

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

That’s an understatement. Oingo Boingo looked cooler than the EEAS band.

By comparison, The Crue, Poison, and Jon Bovi were much more manly.

Very late-80s, but it looks like it would have been a fun show. Ed sounds good.

He had some sort of frontispiece thing. May date back to '84.

Dave's coolest-man-alive aura dried up and blew away into the wind the second the hairpiece was introduced. Looked way older and weirder overnight. They managed to hide it in the videos to EEAS, but it was only a matter of time till people got eyes on how fucking insane he looked.

Side note from the homoeroticism… to this day The Centrum was always my favorite arena growing up and throughout my 20s. So many shows and experiences. Great memories.

Why is this poster so interested in what clothing Van Hagar were wearing compared to DLR? It's friggin' weird.

No one mentioned DLR except you, but if you’re aware of him wearing skin-tight banana pants you’re welcome to post the link. It’s quite possible he had some too.

Same with Cherone.
Eat' em and Smile band was mentioned 3 replies in you goof.
