OMG Hair Bands!

[Fletch]

One of my guilty pleasures, since I was never allowed to listen as a kid (super-fundagelical parents), is listening to 80's hair bands. I woke up in a hair band mood this morning so...

Also: Power Ballads... a great form of musical expression, or the greatest form of musical expression?

Very very very very little. I'm very much a "generic top 40 white boy rock" kinda guy.

Holy crap. ROCK. ON.

Oh, yeah! My generation.

I have on Pirate Radio on iTunes right now. Decent stuff. Nothin' wrong with a little Ratt, Winger, and Dokken in the morning!

Winger - Hungry (Official Music Video) - Video

Now we're talkin'!

One of my favorite power ballads from that era (I think it was their only hit)...

Thread title confused printcraft.

Man, was I off base. I guess I'm programed from having 3 girls in the house.

I'm more into this these days, though I was born in the sixties and do enjoy hair as much as anyone;

That is spelled CRAP. The 'C' is silent.

In the 80's Eddie said "Hair Metal sucks!"

I saw Dokken back in, I'm guessing, the early 80s at the old Louisville Gardens. There had been a pretty big snowstorm, and, for whatever reason, we decided to ride over there and see if the show was still on. It was, but apparently no body else knew it, because other than me and the few people I was with, there was maybe 50 other people that showed up. Dokken played anyway, but I think the warm up band cancelled. I never really cared for Dokken, but I thought it was nice of them to play for the few of us there. I think everybody in attendance got a guitar pick or drum stick for their trouble.

You Sir, are one cruel bastage...

I just want to go out and buy a 78 Trans-Am and pop the Tee's out and see how many tickets I can get before tomorrow morning...

Fortunately, I have to go back to the field and drive the John Deere...

 

[Hookeye]

Square headlight TA's and Hair Metal- definitely go together.

Don't forget your denim jacket with the giant Def Leppard patch across the shoulders.

Heh, I owned 1 denim jacket...for about a month. It got lost at a concert (imagine that).

I'm gradually turning my kids onto 80's rock. They like 'that guy who screams a lot'. I'm not sure if they understand it's a bunch of different people.
