Skid Row before they got rid of Sebstian Bach (love him!!). And Sebastian only when he left Skid Row. I met him too, sooo hot!!
Poison
Def Leppard
Danger Danger
AC DC
Ratt
Van Halen (with David Lee Roth, not when they didnā€™t have him)
Metallica too!

I had other CDā€™s like from Dream Theater, Faster Pussycat, Slaughter, Warrant, the list goes on, but they werenā€™t my top favorites.

Oh, and I had a guns n roses badge on the back of my jean jacket too, LOL
 
I still have my G n R T-shirt (looks like the backpatch), some Bon Jovi ones & a Cinderella one in my drawer. Got a couple Metallica too -hubby got me liking harder stuff later in high school. Havenā€™t worn them in years. I did get rid of most of rock shirts but kept a few sentimental items. I have newer Bon Jovi Tā€™s from recent concerts that Iā€™ll wear sometimes.

I had all the little buttons on my jean jacket. I had Poison, GNā€™R, Warrant, Metallica, WASP, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, Skid Row, Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, Def Leppard, Cinderella and others. The front was covered with buttons. I had the GNā€™R back patch too.

Interestingly enough, the guitarist from Warrant owns a bar in Cleveland and has a heavy metal karaoke night. You can sing along with the band. You pick a song and they play it while you sing. Iā€™ve never gone, but Iā€™ve seen it advertised.
 
BRING BACK THE HAIR!!
#1 OZZY ( My first concert,Bark at the moon tour)
#2 White Lion
#3 Mammaā€™s Boys( Mamma weā€™re all crazy now)
#4 Man O War ( ever hear of them?)
#5 Cinderella
and how 'bout Vixen, Oh the good ole days.
Thanks for bringing this up, gotta go rumage through my tape collection.

Ahh yes the 80ā€™sā€¦it was the best of times, it was the worst of timesā€¦It would be fun to go back -for a bit a least. Hey I could be a size 5 again -whoopee! The last song played at my prom was Patience by G nā€™ R. Hubby requested it (boyfriend at the time ofcourse.) He whistled the beginning part as we danced. He still whistles that part whenever we hear that song. Aww ā¤ļø

To me it is amazing that a lot of these bands are back together and still touring.

That is why I have been ā€œrummagingā€ through YouTube to see the old videos. I have a few VHS tapes in the basement I need to dig out and watch the videos on. Let me know what tapes you come across. I have the following in my car (yes with a tape player) Dangerous Toys, Vain, Roxx Gang, Childā€™s Play and Roxxi.

Aside from Dangerous Toys anyone heard of any of the others?

I hate to admit it, but when I was younger I was so in love with the lead singer from RATT. šŸ˜Š

I was more of a Warren DeMartini gal (lead guitarist).

I met my husband at a local park in highschool. And what cassette was I playing on my radio that my friend & I carried with us? Way Cool Junior.:cool:

I pretty much wore out my t-shirts. I had Metallica ones too. I liked heavier stuff also, as well as bands that never were considered ā€œhair bandsā€ like Rush, Judas Priest, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath/Ozzy.

I later did get into grunge and punk in college and had a bunch of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag shirts. Those are worn out and gone too. Thankfully, so are the flannel shirts. I still wear Dr. Martens boots though. I wonā€™t give those up because they are so comfy. šŸ˜ƒ

Unfortunately, I do not have much of the music from the 80ā€™s any more. I had all that stuff on cassette. I didnā€™t get a CD player until I was in college and did not replace most of my cassettes. I pretty much traded them in (when you could still do that) at a used record store and got new music on CD.

I was doing pretty well on those quizzes. Hitting about 90% on them for awhile, until one of them got REALLY obscure, like youā€™d only know if you were a big fan of the LA Club scene.

Which one was it? I am going to have to try it.

Is it more amazing that many of them are still ALIVE?

The amount of chemicals and STDā€™s those guys must have hadā€¦whew.

I guess the foremost part of you post is true and I will try to focus on the music and not all that would come with themā€¦yuk!!

ā€œRock and Roll (Gonna Set the Night on Fire)ā€ Pretty Boy Floyd, on my radio station.
 
Doing those quizzes scared me, just how many lyrics I remember.

Yikes!

Whatā€™s scarier, was that, as I was doing the quizzes, there were so many songs that I was like ā€œMan, I wish I could hear that RIGHT NOWā€

Also made me think of some more ā€œone-offā€ bands that I liked:
Junkyard
Black N Blue
Four Horsemen
Femme Fatale
Badlands (First album ROCKED!)
Lynch Mob
Sass Jordan (Always reminded me of the Black Crowes with a girl singing)
Girlschool (Remade ā€œFox on the Runā€)
Slade (Also did a Sweet remake)
Bang Tango
Danger Danger
Tora Tora
Babylon AD
Gorky Park (Bang! was such a ripoff of Kissā€™ ā€œI love it loudā€)
Kingā€™s X

Iā€™ll have to look through the cassette collection for more memories. If I find something ā€œuniqueā€, Iā€™ll let you know.

How about Green Jelly - Three Little Pigs?

I swear, if they had hair, I listenedā€¦

What is even more scary is that we are on the exact same page with this. The best place I found to hear those songs again is on YouTube. I also have a site that is MP3 Rocket that I get a lot of songs for my mp3 player. I am going to look at this thread to get ideas later.

I had the Green Jello cd before they had to change their name.

It is scary how much I remember from those songs. I was at a friends house and they had an 80s music station on Direct TV and I could get some of the songs in the first 5 seconds, they would just do this :bigyikes:
