Man....I'd have loved to go to one of those shows. You were lucky to have been there during the "golden era" of metal/rock. I arrived in CA a few months before the ball dropped. I remember being at this strippers house in Fresno, rehearsing with some guys that were all into 80's rock/metal when we heard some Nirvana on the radio. We actually laughed about it. Little did we know at the time.....Christ, I could barely give away my JEM because the music stores around the area were a graveyard of shredder guitars.

Exactly!! It's not like I'm ever going to wear it out again unless I join an 80's tribute band like MetalShop
LOL!

When I realized that I hadn't worn my hair down in over 2 years I went all the way to the extreme and shaved it off a year ago. I haven't missed having long hair once since I did it. My 7 year old son this year told me he wanted to grow his hair long like some other kids in his class and I asked him, "do you play guitar? No. Do you play bass? No. Do you play drums? No. Do you sing? No. Well then I guess you can't grow your hair long you little poser". 
Then his mom told him he could

To be honest with you, I have always looked better with shorter hair. When I wear it out I look funky

Steve,
Those are KILLER photos man. Kudos for putting them up and taking some of us back down memory lane.
I wish I still had some of my old band shots. I never made it to LA during the guitar glory days but wish I had. Regrets always suck. I was playing around here then though and it was GREAT here so I can only imagine there.
I never wore spandex pants though. I always wore leather pants but wore my share of tight polyester shirts...lol

I finally cut my big hair in '89 when I decided not to continue pursuing a career in music and began to focus on the career I had trained for (Electrical Engineer). The hair was a HUGE inhibitor in moving ahead in my career...
That's funny as hell about the 7 year old!

Yeah...chicks like good time music....songs about sex, having fun, partying, etc....This was the music of the hard rock scene of the 80's. Feel good music. There aren't too many bands doing that now in the hard rock/metal genre....hence the sausage-fests.
