Metal Sludge Gossip Board

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 many of the hacks on the American side of it like Motley Crue, Ratt, Dokken and Twisted Sister.

King’s X was another. I didn’t like Doug’s voice even though I recognized their talent and liked many of their songs. Over the years I’ve collected all their shit on cd and streaming. I still don’t know either bands discography as well as I should and I’ve never seen either live. But I listen to them more now instead of lame, low rent, watered down attempts at being KISS like Shout At The Devil

Said it a bunch of times but....Tuff - hated everything about them..and had only heard the ballad. Listen to them all the time now

Kinda like someone wrapped a good streak inside a cotton candy box

I always disliked Extreme and D.A.D. and really tried but failed to like Krokus and White Lion.

What changed and why do you like them now?

Oops. I should have read the original post and not just the headline. Nothing happened, I still don't like those bands!

Wow... thank you for the props!

I absolutely couldn't get into Dokken back in the day, now I think they are ok (although IMO, a "greatest hits/best of" CD is still more than enough)........

Van Halen-Kiss- Queensryche -Stryper- Tesla have always been kind of stupid..Definitely the D league

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 interesting. I was the opposite. I loved them from Permanent Vacation through Just Push Play. Went back and got all the 70s stuff and had the box set when it was released in 91. But I checked out in the 00s

Dokken

Never heard of Tuff until “American Hair Band”.
