Where has the time gone. I remember watching the ball as well when i wa sin high school mid 80's. Im only 33 but it makes me feel ancient that this is history to me..lol
Ok I admit it...I'm still a huge fan and have way too many 80's collections Let's see:
Quiet Riot, Warrant, Poison, Scorpions, Slaughter, Metallica and Slayer - Saw them at L'amours, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Dokken, Zebra, Motorhead, Anthrax, Krokus, VanHalen...Damn I could go on forever I still love them all and they're great to listen to when I need to get some housework done
Not all 80s metal is considered hair metal...theres a diffy like Anthrax was speed metal like Metallica...and thats what I like! Not the super cute front man with big hair, NOOOOOOOO that shouldn't even be called music lol. Anyway, I always liked Quiet Riot...the front man was ugly as hell but could sing. Thats as close to 80s hair metal as I get lol.
Priest, crue, V.H., how about Gamma, anyone ever heard of Gamma, great band ! Led Zepplin (actually more 70's), Dio, sabboth, and all the new wave and punk bands, alot of different and great music came out of the 80's.
Hugh, cool ! Did not realize they actually pumped out a few more ! What's funny is the High school I went to our name was the Saxons. Ever heard of Gamma, they don't even have a CD, still on vinyl. It was Ronnie Montroses band, I think they put out 3 Alblums, one of which was the first 2 combined if I remember right. Pretty good tunes, sounds like a local band.
