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

Phantom Blue - they were glam in look only. They were pretty intense!! Hot chicks that REALLY shred!!

...and I saw that vid with Firehouse, Trixter, and Warrant. Sorta cool!

did anyone mention trixter or phantom blue? If you go on youtube there's a really good live video of warrant firehouse and trixter covering fight for your right to party by the beastie boys.

Pretty boy floyd also springs to mind suddenly

Metal Massacre 3 ---
albums included The Bitch is Back - Be My Slave & Damnation Alley...A rose By Any Other Name

after Bitch broke up Betsy went on to form another band appropriately named Betsy...... she was sexy......

OH!!! I still have "The Bitch is back" LP!!! I used to have a few of their CD's including the Betsy cd. Wow that brings back odd memories. Been a long time since I heard them mentioned

Pantera - Projects in the Jungle
As close to Def Lep as you can get. "Diamond" Darrell kicked ass even though he sported one hell of a 70's fro.

Scott, there's something about an old beat up les paul that just says fuckin play me! I regret getting rid of the few i've had. That one looks well loved.

I agree!

The guy who took the picture dared me to take it out. I had just talked to the tech and was hoping he'd say, "Check it out man, take a look" like most techs will to other techs. But he didn't. My buddy said both of us could take him if it got physical! HA! But no, I didn't touch it. I just pointed at it.

Then watched their whole set from side stage.

Dave was warming up before he went on right in front of me. I was starstruck. He saw me looking at him and he came over and nodded at me and said "whats up?". I think I croaked a "nothing" and he smiled and strapped on the Les Paul and went out and killed everybody.

On a sidenote, the tech "thinks" it's an early 70's. I guess the serial number was lost after the first few neckbreaks. But he said Dave remembers getting in in 1972 or 73.

Ah, Y&T. Great band.

But do you remember them as Yesterday & Today? I do.

I bought (and still have somewhere) a Yesterday & Today album from Drug Fair around 1976-1977.

That's cool, I never heard them as Yesterday and Today that I can remember, I'm going to give it a whirl.

Southgang - AMAZING overlooked band
http://youtube.com/watch?v=42u6THtPEew

Wow! Thats the first time I've heard that name since my bass player suggested we do Southgang's Tug of War last year. I had never even heard the song before then but it is a cool song! Drummer didn't want to do it even though we practiced it a couple times. I like the song but no one in local bars would recognize it. Of course that didn't stop us from doing Dream Theater's Pull Me Under Hmm, maybe we'll have to reconsider doing Southgang
80's rock is awesome by the way. My band is mainly doing 80's rock

Bengal , Ken..I picked up all japenese Y & T imports quite some time ago. I paid around 35 bucks a pop for them...including Dave Meniketti solos cds "On the blue side"..he does a awesome cover of James Brown "Man's world". I think it has THAT cherry LP on the cover along with a strat..That cd SMOKES!!!

I was listening to it not that long ago..my wife likes it!
