This was the one that started it for me too :rock:

Timeline and hairspray. And red spandex jumpsuits

If you were buying rock albums in 1985-1986 TLIL was at the top of the list. Holy Diver sold more because of it—came out before, went platinum years after. And yes Dio was “hair metal” but I understand him not embracing the label

My Storm is pretty noisy—how’s yours Griff?

The Waza TAE is the tits

The way I see it (and I was there lol) is Ozzy solo/Quiet Riot/DefLepp/Crue/Dokken started it in the early 80s and GnR kinda ended it after AFD got popular. If a band was in between and used hairspray, they are hair metal IMO

I picked 8 b/c that's how many cassettes my fancy road case held

These guys are still touring--I seem to go see them every 12-18mos. Dude sounds great still

Honestly as much as dislike it the numbers prob say Hysteria

I'd enjoy tipping a few with CC

Dio - Last in Line The Cult - Electric Quiet Riot - Metal Health Scorpions - Love at first Sting Def Leppard - Pyromania VH - 1984 Ozzy - Blizzard Skid Row

Loved that

Oh man I just got home…no worries. My eyes are not the best anymore—hopefully I can discern ‘winked silver’ from ‘matte grey’ lol. Next one let’s go yellow or orange!

I’m pretty sure that’s the little switches, or at least one of them.

I never understood Suhr’s removing the bright cap on their mkI amps but I guess they aren’t alone—everyone seems to feel the need to ‘improve’ amps that are already perfect.
