Silverburst80 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) In the time of big hair and neon guitars many big maneuvers where thrown down and man didn't they all look so happy!, share some of your more spectacular memories from the era. I think the drummer at 3:10 laid down a huge challenge to any contenders and Diamond Dave probably fired the fucker for trying steal his thunder.

Fitha_whiskey Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Haha- awesome! I saw Tommy's upside down drums twice on the Girls tour. I was 15 I think. Whitesnake opened. Awesome shows. Then there's old Diamond Dave. Yup- say what you will, but the motherfucker tried to give you the wildest show you've ever seen. I saw him solo and remember being teenage beer drunk and thinking "I hope he doesn't fall man" when he rode the surf board in the air over the crowd (not in this video though sadly). Yankee Rose is my favorite of his solo tunes, and this video is one of the ultimate hair era videos. It's got it all- assless chaps and rhinestone thongs; simulated fornication with assorted mics, stands, guitar necks; Steve Vai insane guitar playing & acrobatics; you name it. "Can you help me? My dr says I need to take a laxative!!!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverburst80 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 The Stones surely wouldn't have these upstarts out posing them would they?, fucking right they wouldn't.....Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman aren't having any of it though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagger went on to take such tomfoolery to its natural conclusion alongside a clearly pissed David Bowie, two blokes of an age where they really should've known better. That dress sense! Although, it was the 80's I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dr says I need to take a laxative!!!" Possibly the greatest music video of all time! Legendary! Love Billy Sheehan's move with the bass at 3:55, like a fucking samurai! "My ancestors spit on your haircut!" "Gimme a bottle o' anything, and a glazed doughnut.... TO GO!!!!" When music was fun! Remember that?

Fitha_whiskey Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The Demon of Screamin used to have a full arsenal of moves. These lyrics are about the time Steven saw Vince Neil from behind in a bar, and thought he was a chick. If you think about it, us dudes who liked these hair bands back then were really confidant in our heterosexuality, cuz a lot of it walks a real fine line in that dept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
