seen them way the hell back
I dig the sound of 4 marshall combos via a harmoniser

I'm working hard, you're working too
We do it every day
For every minute I have to work
I need a minute of play
Day in day out all week long
Things go better with rock
The only time I turn it down
Is when I'm sleepin it off

Turn up the radio
I need the music, gimmie some more
Turn up the radio
I wanna feel it got to gimmie some more


nuther awsome song to blast-

autograph-turn up the radio

Wow a Hair Band!!!

OK guys!! Show your age!! What era were you in?

I was just getting out of highschool when the "Hair Band" craze started to ROCK!!!

i graduated in 87,so take a guess:) played in a couple of bands in the mid to late 80's.not into the glamour bands( warrent,winger.poison and the likes) but liked the stuff that at the time,had a bit more edge to it.priest,maiden,accept,metallica,msg,tesla,and dokken were a few that we played alot of.still listening to such childish music to this day:D

guzz

No your talkin' Guzz!!

I being 5yrs your senior but still grew up on the same tunes your talkin' about!

Dont forget Malmstein and Satriani !! I saw Ozzy with Randy Rhodes!!!

good taste in tunes.
ok who got a marshall bottom or amp out here

http://acplink.com/chassis/display.aspx?curpage=34

Dave,
Both my brothers were in an original/cover hair band.
My youngest brother played the drums(he had a huge Tama set on a rack). My other bro was the lead guitarist and had a retubed Marshall(forget the name of the guy but he was on the west coast). He had a vintage Les Paul Custom as well as a few Ibanez Steve Vai style guitars. They might have gone places if not for getting married and having kids young!

Me play in original bands and cover B too...
You see the movie with stevie V in it cross roads.
see Stevies axe??

the one band i was in we played black star off of malmsteins first albulm.i think it was marching out.i couldn't handle those riffs,especially at the speed needed to pull off malmsteins stuff.the guy that played lead in that band was one heck of a guitarist.he was heavily influenced by michael schenker,and gary moore.

i remeber the first time i heard surfing with an alien.satch boogie blew my mind.i also liked how all of the songs on his first three albulms were all instruementals.his stuff was definitely geared towards six string junkies.

what did you guys think of nuno bentencourt? the guitarist for extreme.ya ever hear the song play with me? he actually takes some classic beetoven(sp?) and grinds them out into metal licks:eek:

guzz

Guzz I still got tab from malmstein and I tink Joe sat still and RR
nuno is cool:)
You here malmstein do his his solo? he does the 5th take off in it
what U got for an electric twanger?

need a drummer ? I used to play everywhere..Rat, Boston Club,(Paradise)White Sands,3 Copperman,Beachcomber,did a showcase with Cap'NSwing in Hull at Casey's later turned out to be the Cars,,bunch more..I still got set of old Gretch next to me ...and Ampeg VT22...I Liked Zappa ,not the goofy lyrics,,The odd timing and weird keys.. The good old days...glad I lived through them ...:happy:

BM :love: Yngwe? :laughs:

Don't you guys remember Quiet Riot and AC/DC?

we can call us the old pharts :D
come on feel the noise

Hey tagga, they don't want a drummer who played in the 50's:laughs: :laughs:

plug building band anyone?:laughs:

who listens to punk? tagger played the rat so im guessing you were into that. i like that stuff, crass.

van halen-panama

the Rat down stairs:smash: sunday night

:af: HEY!!! NEWELL GUY !!!!:af: How do you know what they want ?...I'm thinking "Elvis" tribute band...BM frontman ofcourse. Black plastic wig,,rhinestones ,,cape...Go BM..:happy:

No surprise here, one of my all time hair favorites= RATT, saw 'em a bunch of times( class of 85 here).I'm lost in the 80's, that's what I buy these days on cd.Guzz, Nuno comes from the next town over from me,he is an incredible musician.I wish that type of guitar was popular today,today it's just noise.Took my 9 yr old to see Maidien and Dio, no boy bands here!johnny "the Ratt Boy"

Just heard a rumor on the radio driving home from work!!

Van Halen======Hagar REUNION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now thats what I am talkin' about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I hear ya on the new music these days! Take's alot of getting used to! Not like the 80's where you heard it the first time and said ???? Then the second time it kicked your AZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!

Some of the newer musicians look more like factory workers than musicians! Not that there is a stereotype or anything??:smash: :smash:

Lets see I saw Bon Jovi twice this year, saw Kiss back in the 80's, SkidRow, Dokken. Ratt....... Man I miss the 80's.

HAIR BAND ??????? Is that some kind of new fishin hat for women??????? :confused:confused:

nuno is a mass boy? wonder if he casts as well as he plays:) ahhhh,feels good to be in the company of a bunch of 80's metal band junkies.i was begining to think my woman and i were the last ones.as far as sterotyping the new bands,don't be afraid of being politically incorect dude,if you don't want to say it,it will.they suck!!!! hell,half of them don't even no how to play an instruement.


lot of ratt fans on this site huh.and for good reason i might add.warren de martini came up with some really smooth riffs.lay it down,lack of communication,and dance were are but a few of my favorites.

the original van halen stuff was killer.how many of you guys had the gold VH emblem or patch on the trusty beat up jean jacket :) how about the led clones? kingdom come,and white snake? they were definitley zep knock offs,but i still liked them.what about queensryche? kind of a heavier version of floyd.rage for order,the warning,and mindcrime were truely incredible albulms.everything after promise land sucked pretty bad though.their last good one was empire.and who could forget megadeath?

guzz

:skulz: :devil:

Pikie Fender, reverse Gibson...........hmmmmmmm


:smash: :smash: :smash: for me

best performance ever,,,Ten Years After...Wood Stock.. "I'm going home" the first woodstock.. I was a late 60's early 70's guy. The best band I was ever in was during the dark years..Disco...and we didn't sound like the Bee Gee's...Bummer

:laughs: boy, you are old...:laughs:

I think I might have to second that!!!! :bl: :laugha:

Yea !! Newelly, u a spring chicken....NOT...Your right behind me Bubba so don't start..:smash: ..u fall down too !!! I've seen you laying in the water !! You blame me for that too..Go make 2 pikies and go to bed !!! your not getting to me ..:happy:

My brother used to run a club here in NJ. I got to hang out with a

warren zevon- this song is wicked.


Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The chit has hit the fan

Send lawyers, guns and money...

Brake out the heavy metal Christian,got metal?"tRB"

Warren Zevon, rest his soul :angel:

Bernzy I remember JBA, they used to play my fathers friends club, The Channel all the time. I saw them open for The Kinks, at the Manning Bowl in Lynn. We had backstage passes it was awsome.

What about the classics from the Stones, Sympathy for The Devil, Monkey Man, Heartbreaker

What about the solo Joe Walsh stuff?? Saw the Eagles this year , wife took me for my birthday, Joe got more standing O's for his solo stuff than the Eagles got all night.

Whitesnake, with a little Tawny sliding on the car, The Firm, too many great bands came out of the 70's and 80's

Never saw Jon Butcher live, but just found out he's playing at a small club in Dayton, OH in March. I will be there.

I picked up Joe Walsh "Barnstorm" on CD a while back. It's been out of print for years. Found it in Japan w/ japanese liner notes.
Awesome CD

Bernzy

My first concert was 3 Dog Night and my Last was Rush at the Tweeter Center. Rush is touring next year, I'm pumped to see them again.

da ratt boy-
whats the dokken secret handshake? my brother told me about it yesterday but he cant remember it completely.

dokken, lock in, rock in? or sumthing.

:confused: Secret shake?, you got me on that one, enjoy the tunes:) johnny "the Ratt Boy"

like dokken :D
wanted Marshall jcm 800 head and bottom

Spend your money wisely o'broke one. You do not need that unit right now, signed, your conscience (Flap)

:smash:

i bought a nasty AC/DC shirt at a savers today for $1. it was too awsome to pass up. its my new fishing shirt next to my ted nugent zebra shirt. i love it.

Rush :kewl: Have seen then a few times, including last summer. Still kick butt. April Wine/Nazareth was my first concert. Still like Sabbath, Maiden, pre-casteration days Metallica, Testament, Grip Inc., bunch of other heavy stuff. Old Ozzy is good too. Saw Rhodes last show too :(

Hair bands :sleeps: :yak:

Bernzy, saw JBA open for Krokus/Def Lepard in the mid 80s. JBA blew both the other bands away.

Someone say bass :D Played originals in a bunch of chithole clubs in the late 80-mid 90's. Bass/Lead Voc. Heavy stuff :D

Jigman

Oh, and BM, I've actually seen Iron Butterfly live. Played some small club in the early 80's. 19 minutes of Inagadadavita (sp?) and other fun stuff :D

Jigman

:D move here You can Be front man/ I got chops:D

I saw Jannis Joplin live...WoW.. I re-sold my front row ticket to Jimmy Hendrix for $5.00..I'll catch him next time,,..:smash:

I saw Ted Nugent at Boston garden, I think it was 1975 or 76. Great show!!!!

I never missed ZAPPA when he came to town :kewl:

Bernzy,

JBI was the best opening band I had ever seen. They opened one night at the garden for J.Geils and they were awesome!

You should definitely check them out!

The next best opening I've seen was Joe Walsh for Foreigner...

I miss the Boston Garden for concerts and WCOZ in Boston!!!

My favorites growing up were Bad Co., The Who, Bob Seger,
38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd and David Gilmore's earlier solo stuff!...

Sure do miss the music since those days!
