CRASH DDZ · Post by **CRASH DDZ** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 12:35 pm

I just thought of it because I ran acrossed an old Quiet Riot record..

Is it just me or are they slept on?

Also ..Cum on Phila tha Noize ! should have been the name of this forum.

I was this close to mentioning them in this thread.. (you can't see it but I have my fingers posed to represent very close)

Ratt
Judas Preist (the dude in bondage gear is gay ? how did we not see that coming ?)
Cinderella
Van Halen
Motley Crue

This metal stuff was the other half of my Cold Chillin/Def Jam musical diet back in the day.. but all this stuff I've kind of forgotten about...

I wish I had all my Head Bangers Ball VHS tapes still...

Lizzy Borden
Flotsam and Jetsam
Trixter
Fastway

I used to have all these on cassettes.. but I can't find most of em.. I think girlfriends took 'em.

Helloween was the shit. Keeper of the Seven Keys Parts I & II kicked ass.

Funny, I was just going to start an 80s metal thread as well.

A lot of good bands get slept on because they were caught up in such a gay scene/look.

Some "glam" bands that were actually good-

G'n'R (they pretty much surpass the categorization)
Motley Crue
RATT
Scorpions
Skid Row
Quiet Riot
Cinderella
Faster Pussy Cat (Bathroom Wall was the shit)
LA Guns

Would be dope to get some uploads of some of these albums going. Saddingly, I had most of this shit on cassette so I can't hook up as much as I'd like to.

you guys ever read 'fargo rock city'? pretty good book about that whole scene and its cultural importance.

Yeah, dope book. I'm pretty much a fan of anything Klosterman writes. Funny dude who knows his shit and usually has a refreshing perspective.

Yeah, his ESPN shit is great. The back-and-forth he did with Simmons a while back was ill.

His latest book is good, but it's not like his other stuff. Much more personal, while ostensibly set around this dead-rockstar roadtrip. A lot of stuff about his various relationships with women and his difficulties therewith.

Motley Cru and GnR are both too good for this thread

yeah that was a great back and forth. they might be two of my favorite writers. always enjoyable to read.

ahh i read that one. it was pretty good. actually i enjoyed it quite a bit. he has a new one out called dangerous ideas for dangerous times or some shit like that.

Are you talking about Klosterman IV?

It's pretty good. It's like a collection of articles he wrote for Spin (which is cool for me because I never read that shit) and then a longish short story at the end.

If you like Quiet Riot, check out Slade. That would be the band who originally did Come on Feel the Noize and Momma We're All Crazee Now.

All I know is that the one dude in Faster Pussycat looked a lot like Judd Nelson.
