Partying in the 80's

[jlbaxe]

Just watched 38 Special with Trace Atkins. The guitarist stepped forward during the solo. Wow remember when songs had great lead guitar? Not many songs have lead/solos any more. Hell rush is the only band still doing great guitar/drum solos.

70s........80s..........90s It was all the same.........it was all a blur!

 

[JackBootedThug]

life seemed happier in the 80's. maybe it was the drugs-i dunno. day without a buzz, was a day that never was.....

 

[shredhead7]

I am 35 and Remember how much I hated the 80's and the poodle hair bands.
Shoulder pads
Greed
The Fake decade for sure.

I am glad its gone

the fake decade, your right, I'm glad it is over

ICP? Cmon dude, that was a low blow

Fucking magnets, how do they work,

I think they partied a lot in the 80's.

It cracks me to think about how my "Thrash Metal" friends called those of us in "melodic metal/glam" bands "fags" while we played and hung out with 75% great looking women while their crowd consisted of 75% fat, sweaty, smelly people..and if they were lucky enough, their fat, sweaty, smelly girlfriends. Ahh..those were the days.

The thing that bums me out about modern music is the disposable factor....half the kids that buy a bands album today don't even care to know who's in the band, or who produced the record or who wrote the songs. I remember studying that stuff like it was gospel. Too bad, really.

While yes, we did refer to the hair bands as fag/posers and yes our crowds were full of sweaty, smelly people, I personally never had trouble getting good looking ass without dressing like a woman.

This^^^ They(we) weren't calling you fags because 75% of your crowds/friends were great looking women. They(we) were calling you fags because you looked more feminine that that 75%. And I assure you, my girlfriends were anything but fat, sweaty and smelly.

This wasnt meant to be taken so seriously, but there's no arguing that Bret Michaels or Sebastian Bach in their heyday pulled better quality ass than anyone in Slayer.

People still buy albums?

Ok point made. BTW I got to meet Tom Araya after a show in '89 and he had with him one of the classiest, best looking women I have ever seen ( I'm talkin supermodel material) That is about all I remembered about the conversation.

Define quality. I think the women who follow bands like Slayer are way more interesting than someone who utilizes the same Avon products as their gods of rock...
but thats me, I prefer strange over barbie...

Ah Yes the 80's!! Good times indeed and I'm happy that I was able to play out and hang out at the clubs back then here in NY and LA
I just wish that I had more balls and had moved to LA when I wanted to back in 84-85.

The thing is that I think every decade has their fair share of cheese and even though the 90's were a bit gloomy I'm sure that some people growing up at that time will have very fond memories and other will not. (same as the 80's)
What I'm basically saying is that it really depends on the indicidual and how they look at the situation. Two people can go to the same party and at the end, one person will say how amazing it was and the other will think that it sucked LMAO.

All in all though I wouldn't trade growing up in the 80's for anything

This sums it up pretty well I think. There was cheese in every decade. And many of the bands that partied and got all the chicks were cheesy as hell. (Poison anyone?)

The 90's were gloomy, but man there were some amazing songs written in those years. Stuff that is still valid and not outdated at all today.
It's just the IMPORTANCE of the guitar in 80's that I feel I missed out on, and the sex and drugs!

Thats what I was getting at, by the time most bands get their first hit out there, they are so far in the hole all the beg borrowing and stealing in the world can't get them back up to bat.

Dude..you're looking WAY too far into this. Quality after a gig=hottest chick willing to do the craziest shit with the least amount of strings attached. Im sure they weren't interviewing for the mother of their children position in the middle of a rock tour at 20 years old

Thank God for David Lee Roth who graced us with miniature late 70s and 80s parties in every song
