    That is sooo funny, poor kitty!

    80's bands had the best logo's and mascots! I used to draw Clyde (Dangerous Toys clown) and Eddie everywhere!
    ah...accessorizing the 80's metal outfit....buckles, chains, studs, cut-finger gloves, buttons, back patches, headbands....usually had some kind of flannel (called it a horse blanket) underneath the leather and vest...I had fucking snakeskin boots if you can believe that!...ugh. I even shaved the sides of my head ala N. Sixx and T. Lee in the Don't Go Away Mad vid...
    I tell ya one thing...I don't judge all the little emo kids as harshly as others do because of it. Every time I see some kid that's dressed like a tool, I remember what I looked like at their age.


    we musta grew up together dude.
    i know i know you.
    haha.
    here is a visual i'll share.

    walking railroad tracks @ night, my friends and me
    leathers blazing metallic chains wrap upper sleeves
    denim jean jackets were written and customized
    well worn work boots kicking/stomping around
    walking mile puff puff pass after mile
    to young to tell time, to old to grow up
    the nights were shooting pool in a haze of youthful indulgence.
    alot of crazy shit was done by everyone.
    i loved my youth no matter how wild and nuts it may have been.
    im 35 now and i'm retired.

    man....ya, think that was me! The railroad tracks were the perfect start to the visual...and shooting pool....add drinking shit mix under bridges, 'boxin cars at oil wells in the country, and you described about 5 years of my life...

    Testing limits, being lazy...no responsibility except school, and I got away with murder there....

    I agree... tho my choices then basically cost me a post-secondary education, I've still done well for myself and don't regret a thing. I managed to live like a rock star on $20 a week allowance, what's to regret?
    I'm 33 now...two healthy kids...alive...no criminal record....a good career...a few scars and a LOT of good stories. ....hope your retirement was achieved under the best circumstance, nothing tragic...or too shady ;) congrats anyway!




    This thread needs pics of Doro Pesch, Lita Ford, and Lee Aaron. I know it's a guy thread...but c'mon

    I loved Sam Kinison

    isn't/wasn't tom lee abusive towards women?
    he's a real quality top notch dude to be fighting over.
    that is if it is true that he has/will hit a woman.

    Why fight if a girl can choose? (And who says any of us wouldn't hit back?)

    Noone wants to shack up with the guy.
    Just wanna play with his coffee machine.

    On a similar topic......It is scary how some aging rockers still wear tight jeans that leave little to the imagination in the crotch.

    Lemmy, from Motorhead, came onstage at the Foo Fighters show in L.A. on Dave Grohls birthday this past Monday morning. The pants are still tight, so you can see the outline of the flab down there!

    I am not a crotch-looking fella, but damn, it was very noticable!

    Ewww, he is just nasty......

    Steven Tyler still wears those pants, someone should remind him that he is about to be 60!!

    They are the ones who had that one chick doing flips on jaguars in their videos, right?

    Not much to talk about. I do know that the lead singer was old because he was in another band in the mid seventies. Do not know the name of the band though..
