Keeping Up With All....

First off we're not old, we're not going to have to wish we knew now what we now know. Youth is wasted on the young.

Eric, Shane, Shawn -

I think I was a freshman in HS when MTV started up; at about the same time, a small town TV station started a music video show. For the first month they had like five tracks, very heavy rotation.

In a couple of weeks we went from never having heard of bands to knowing every line and move in thier videos.

Dokken: breakin the chains
Billy Idol: dancin with myself
talking heads: burnin down the house - still a fan

Cable had just became available and the Rolling Stones, Still Life tour was on 'Let's spend the night together', I've seen every tour since then.

I graduated in 1980, so I too was there back when MTV had videos. What scares me is when I see a video and remember seeing the "world premier" on TV. I was one of the geeks that was at home to seee THRILLER when it broadcast the 1st time!! I have never been a huge fan of a certain group, but B SPRINGSTEIN, CULTURE CLUB, and JOURNEY, QUEEN, Rod Stewart, BILLY IDOL, are some of my favorite groups. Then we have the Bangles, Was NOT WAS, DEAD OR ALIVE< MEN WITHOUT HATS, MEN AT WORK, AH HA, G MICHAEL, The Other Ones, Comunards, Oingo Boingo, Genisis, Blondie. I do like alot of current "songs" but I would have to say the 80's were a magical time....

[Scareview]

Aww man the 80's was simply the best!! Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Van Halen (not Van Hagar), DIO, WASP, Scorpions, Tesla, Quiet Riot, Guns & Roses, Cinderella, Twisted Sister, Def Lepard, Rush, Slaughter, Skid Row!!! The list goes on....

[graystone]

Man on man the memories! I am now getting depressed! In case you did not know and I know Larry does but my all time favorite band of all time was Culture Club!

I can tell it was the hair bands with Scareview! Shane and its Time Clock of The Heart! Shane this time!!

During my shows I joke with the audience. "Ya, I worry about this new generation. In my day we had cool bands like Van Halen, Riot, ACDC, Guns & Roses. Who do you have? Lady Ga Ga"

Show me one man between the ages of 40 and 45 that can't make the Van Halen Logo. one. There's some spillover but this is the core of the generation.

I appreciated 'Standing Hampton' three lock box and all of that but the Van Hagar years were B grade.
