Just watched this and started to laugh on how much this was me and my buddies back in the day.
Love this movie.

Anyone else appreciate this?

hellz yea...

 

[Mailman1971]

Man that was a trip of a time.

My 22 year old Son always asks me questions about the 80's. Said he would of LOVED to be part of it.


I tell him..."Yes you would"
ha!

Stand Up and SHOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTT!!!

I love this movie and own the DVD. Sure, it's not Academy Award worthy, haha, but I was totally entertained by it. I like that it didn't take itself too seriously.

That scene where Mark Wahlberg's character is auditioning for Steel Dragon going from nervous on the verses to killing it on the chorus is great.
I love that song "We All Die Young" (Mike Matijevic from Steelheart on vocals). I think it could have been a total hit back in the day.

... and did you know that was Myles Kennedy (of later Alter Bridge and Slash fame) playing Thor at the end (the fan who took over the show)?

 

[Mailman1971]

Yeah man!! Another Fan!!
'We all Die young' gives me some goosebumps at the right time. Such a killer song!!
That was the 1st time I saw Myles. Great movie for sure!!

 

[Enjolras56]

I didn't know til later that "We All Die Young" was originally recorded by Steelheart well before the movie. I went back to listen to it, and the movie version is a SERIOUS upgrade.
Completely different, more powerful arrangement plus Zakk, Jeff Pilson, and Jason Bonham as the band helped big time.

 

[Mailman1971]

Man "Angel Eyes" from Steel Heart was like my ALL TIME favorite Rocker Ballad!
This song kicks ass!!!
The singer is OUTRAGEOUS GOOD!!

God I want the 80s back! I love that movie. The soundtrack is awesome. When I tell people I used to have hair almost to my waist they look at me like I'm an alien.

I know sounds 'cliche' but my Son who is obsessed with the 80's always wants me to tell him how it was for me back then.
When I do talk about the fads....clothes...all that crap. He sorta shakes his head.
Then I pull up a few pics from the photo album and he laughs.
One of the 'had to be there' things I tell him.
He still thinks I am lying about parachute pants and how thin they were.
