The "80's Glam Metal Listening Pussified Ass" Thread

[horns666]

That's awesome, man! Very cool band. Gotta find CDs of "No Turning Back" and "Blaze Of Glory". My cassette copies died ages ago!

Anyone mention Vicious Rumors? They might be considered too heavy to be called a "hair band" but they still rocked. Mark McGee and Geoff Thorpe were one kick-ass guitar duo!

Don't you dare mention Vicious Rumors in this god forsaken thread!!!

I have ALL VR stuff from SOTN w/ Vinnie Moore to Warball with Brad Gillis.

But I'll mention this little 80's tidbit. This is from Adam Bomb's "Fatal Attraction" release featuring Jimmy Crespo. He's the one who took Joe Perry's place in Aerosmith on "Rock in a hard place".. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb-We...eature=related

Yep, my ol' best friend played bass for him.

This is too cool! You guys have reminded me of a bunch of bands I'd forgotten and turned me on to some I wasn't familiar with.

Does anyone remember Burning Starr? Jack Starr formed the band after leaving Virgin Steele. His guitar work was killer, and he found a truly wailing vocalist in Mike Tirelli. "No Turning Back" in particular was one of my favorites.

hehe, judt caught this thread, man i loved the cheesy 80's rock, some of my favourites:

skid row, extreme, mr. big, alice cooper, def leppard

poison was big too but i wasnt a big poison fan.

whitesnake was awesome too \m/

"edit"

i must say, i feel nuno bettencourt is probably one of the most underrated players ever, amazing guitarist and excellent work inall of his bands from extreme to drama gods to mourning widows to satellite party. Love his work

Lord tracy, ex pantera singer, and one awesome bass player named barney (Billy Sheehan type with a wammy bar)

[wreckingcrew]

I love me some glam metal

[Ralph E.]

Gemini Five "Sex Drugs Anarchy". The best sleeze metal record i've ever heard, in the vein of Shotgun Messiah and early Motley Crue.

I remember when one of the first riff I learned on guitar was the '89 version of "Fool for your loving". I'm still playing it, perfecting it until I know it by heart.

Did anyone post Honeymoon Suite yet?

I guess when you have 3 stacks in an open area you spin around with your guitar like that?

Great thread and some really cool links. I saw Marq Torien's Bulletboys and Tracii Guns' LA Guns a few years ago in a dumpy local club. Torien rocked but I could tell he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Tracii was cool as hell playing a light blue Gunslinger through a Crate powerblock and a couple of 212 Kustoms with some Boss pedals. He had his son on bass and was genuinely friendly when I talked to him. To me seeing those guys in my hometown was big because I'd been a fan since" back in the day". I was with the drummer and singer from our band and they just didn't get it-they were into punk rock back then. Our drummer couldn't believe Marq Torien passed up the Ozzy gig.

I didn't see Britney Fox in the thread, but maybe someone hit it....THey were beyond a doubt one of the funniest bands I ever saw on MTV. That "Long Way to Love" video used to keep me in stitches. KIX were a local band in this area I live in. Never warmed to them much. I think parts of it run around locally as "Funny Money" now. Last time I saw Joe Lynn Turner live he was playing a birthday party for one of Ritchie's old girlfriends with Michael Fath on guitar and Ned Meloni on bass (Ned just did Magic Circle Festival). Haven't seen Fath in awhile. During the aftershow party all Turner did was "F**k Ritchie, F**k Blackmore" and of course we all knew that if Ritchie called...............

That Michael Fath guy is a pretty sick player!

[85 San Dimas]

has anyone mentioned Helix yet?

Glad to see Pink Cream 69 get a mention.

How about Jeff Scott Soto or Joe Lynn Turner's solo stuff?

So we looked like girls, big deal. It was the easiest deal to close back then.

If you played your cards right, you might convince her she was participating in a threesome!
