In FARGO ROCK CITY, Chuck Klosterman says that hair metal videos never went away - they just moved from MTV to CMT. Of course, that book was written at a time when CMT actually played music videos. And when country didn't sound like hair metal. But the videos - with all the sexy girls in bikinis and cutoffs - sure looked like something from Y&T or Warrant.
Brian Fowler Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Don't forget, Mutt Lange went directly from Def Leppard and AC/DC to Shania Twain. 1

Good times. Did his wig blow off 2

That Faster Pussycat song came out when my parents were going through their divorce, so that was my fucking JAM for a while when I was a kid. Love the fact Michael Bolton co-wrote Forever. Paul Stanley in his book predictably claims that Bolton had very little to do with that song. Who knows in the KISS world especially considering how much of the music on KISS albums was played by musicians not in KISS

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Loved Poison. Pissed I missed them and Cheap Trick last week. I always like trolling Poison fans about Bret's hair hat. SOmetimes I wish he would just go au natural but its Rock n Roll. You have to dress the part. You can almost see the downward trajectory of David Lee Roth's career as his forehead got larger and larger 1

It is Quote The Rolling Stones in Mono includes the following albums:[7][8] The Rolling Stones (UK version, 1964) 12 X 5 (US only, 1964) The Rolling Stones No. 2 (UK only, 1965) The Rolling Stones, Now! (US only, 1965) Out of Our Heads (US version, 1965) Out of Our Heads (UK version, 1965) December's Children (And Everybody's) (US only, 1965) Aftermath (UK version, 1966) Aftermath (US version, 1966) Between the Buttons (UK version, 1967) Flowers (US only, 1967) Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967) Beggars Banquet (1968) Let It Bleed (1969) Stray Cats (a new collection of singles and non-album tracks) 4
PetrolCB Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Nice. I have most of those, but only a few in mono. The duplicates above, I only have the UK versions (preference). That’s a solid collection though. Mono is THE WAY to go with albums prior to, I’ll say, 1970. Because that’s what the producers/mixers spent all of their time on. Because you have to ride the faders a lot. When stereo came along around then, yeah they spent time, but it was easier and they breezed through it without care. Not with mono, and they’re very noticeably different mixes. My prized possession LP-wise, in this regard, is my original pressing mono “Sgt. Pepper’s...”. 1
Brian Fowler Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I got all the Beatles mono represses from a few years ago, and, sound wise, they are the best LP's I own. Zero hiss or any other extraneous noise, absurd clarity even on a mid-grade table and cheap stereo.
Captain Kronos Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Some great Reb Beach here. Also, I want to go all Almost Famous on Kip: "Your looks are becoming a problem!"
southofheavy Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 I can't even begin to fathom the effort of maintaining that perfect three-day stubble. 1

You guys weren't even born then, were you? Glad to hear the love for the Jones-era Stones, they did some great stuff, "The Spider and the Fly" remains a favorite after all these years. Wasn't born until '70. First Stones song I remember is "Miss You", heard on WLS in my mom's '75 Pinto.

Never thought I would see the day someone mentioned Y&T anywhere let alone this board. I felt bad for those guys. They seemed like a step away from being a bigger band but 10 years and 6-7 albums into their career they were still stuck opening for Motley Crue on the Theatre Of Pain tour. Poor guys never even managed a gold record
Brian Fowler Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I've said before (maybe here? Maybe Facebook) that modern bro country was just hair metal moving south and somehow getting even dumber.

Poor guys never even managed a gold record Y&T are huge in Japan. In recent years they have had packed shows playing here in Nashville. Saw them back in 1987 or so in the #2 slot on a Bon Jovi/Y&T/RATT tour.
Curt McGirt Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Shit, I almost bought Mean Streak on LP about a week ago along with Queensryche - The Warning, but the latter was sold out so I passed on the $6 copy of it cause I'd have to pay shipping and it was just an extra I threw in to sweeten the pot. I don't consider them a glam rock or even metal band, just a solid hard rock band that worked forever and never got their dues.

Tabe Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 And for a TRUE throwback to the 1980s, you *MUST* get Don Barnes' "Ride the Storm" album. It was actually recorded in 1989 but only released in 2017. And it is FANTASTIC.
