What's your favourite 80's rock band/song?
I'm still lovin Crazy Crazy Nights by Kiss
Also just made a new backing track, so if anyone's a fan of the cheesy retro stuff, inbox me for a link. |

Van Halen for me. I play in a tribute band, I have several Eddie signature guitars and amps and have their logo tattoo'd on my calf.
I'm a bit of a fanboy...lol |

Shame on me lol Van Halen I absolutely fucking adore. Both Diamond Dave and Sammy Hagar eras. Gary Cherone had a good go but the songs were depressing. |

I'm a huge DLR fan. Hagar was a better singer but he wasn't quite on the same level, showmanship wise as Roth. Cherone's effort was ok, I think Eddie was to blame for much of that records flaws, he wanted someone to sing like a mix of the previous two.
Thank dog Roth's back though \m/ |

Yeah Eddie went off the deep end after the cancer. I agree, Hagar was also a better writer, but he just didn't have that agility or showmanship like Roth did.
And if you see him now fronting Chickenfoot, he's trying to hide the huskiness around his waist but his fat neck gives him up lol still a great singer and age has been kinder to him than most, but he's starting to look like a rock redhead Colonel Sanders |

I played and heard this when driving in the USA and always thought they were an American band.
Only recently found out that they were British.  |

That cannot be right 
I know he was in Montrose in the 70's but that could only put him in his early 60s surely... |

"SHIIIIIT!!! Hagar is 66 "
Scary isn't it!
Did you know he had no intention of being a singer, he was set to be a boxer. It was Elvis that talked him into joining a band!
He had his own tequila company (Cabo Wabo), he sold it to Campari a couple of years ago for $106,000,000! He's now started making rum. |

Couple of ones not mentioned:
Warrant 'Cherry Pie'
Alice Cooper 'Poison'
Motley Crue 'Kickstart My Heart'
Not sure GnR classify as hair metal as they helped to kill it.
And a track with the manliest, look at my balls vocal: Whitesnake 'Still Of The Night'. |

I knew about the boxing and tequila. He's now spending it cheap in Mexico. Funny, without all of the plastic surgery, he's been totally bypassed by his age.
Still looks like a cross between Chad Kroeger and Colonel Sanders tho lol |

"how about some Lemmy at his best!
Motorhead by Motorhead or Orgasmatron
or is that Over the top!
"
Lemmy's awesome, he even wrote Ozzy's 'No More Tears' album. "Covered" Hellraiser for the Hellraiser 3 film.
Ace of Spades and Overkill are still my favourites though. We need another NWoBHM |

"I'd give anything to go back and see Metallica, Maiden, Motley Crue, ACDC, GnR and Slayer in their prime. I was born 10 years late I think. "
Oh, you'd hate me then
Metallica - Master of Puppets tour, supported by Anthrax
Maiden - Number of the Beast tour
Mötley Crüe - Shout at the Devil tour (well, it was a one off show at The Dominion Theatre in London)
AC/DC - Highway to Hell tour
Guns N Roses - Appetite tour, supported by Faster Pussycat
Slayer - Reign in Blood tour
That was the first tours I saw all of the above on! |

The best rock album of the 80's was Nothing's Shocking by Janes Addiction. They could release that album tomorrow and it would still sound timeless.
Saw them at Burberry's in Birmingham (don't look for it; it's not there anymore), supported by the dreadful Birdland, from Coventry. Must have been all of 50 people in there. Two or three years later they invented Lolapalooza and were playing to tens of thousands of people every night. |

You'd be wrong, fanboy
There were no 15 year-old, reworked demos on Nothing's Shocking, for starters
I do love 1984 though!! |

Saw them on their first ever shows here too, supporting Kiss in 1984, then had tickets for the '7800 Fahrenheit' tour that I couldn't give away, prior to them going global with 'Slippery...' |

Nah, they're just 'Housewive's Choice' rock these days and haven't made a half-decent album since 'These Days' almost 20 years ago.

some may find this a controversial choice but nothing gets makes me feel more confident and sexier than when I'm listening to Joan Jett and the Blackhearts version if Do Ya Wanna Touch Me? Can I just state I was into this song long before we new about the original singer and I only like JJ version |

That wasn't Dave singing, it was Sammy Hagar!
I like Dave though, he's everything a rock star should be (well he was) and his first two solo albums were awesome. |

Cheesy, got to be whitesnake
Go onto YouTube and check the pretty boy version (1987) against the ageing Brit journey men version (cozy Powell, mickie moody, Jon lord ...)
I prefer the pretty boy version, much more dynamics and Adrians solo is cool. But if memory servs me right musicians in the video played on the song
Got to love those snare drums in the hair bands, sounding like a cannonball being fired in a canyon
(reverse talkback noise gate indeed)
I digress ..
For non cheesy... Got to be GnR.. (apart from patience .. Thought at the time it was a cool song, checked it out last week.. Nope boring D D sus4 throwaway) |

That solo was the only thing Vandenberg played on the album, John Sykes played the rest of the guitars on the album, Don Airey played keyboards, Neil Murray played bass and Aynsley Dunbar played drums...like I said, another bunch of journeymen!
The band of pretty boys (though I don't think Tommy Aldridge ever qualified as a pretty boy) was put together specifically for the 'Still of the Night' video.
Dann Huff (genius guitarist and producer of US Country music's A List these days) played on the US 'radio mix' of 'Here I Go Again'.

Right! It stopped being Whitesnake without Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden on the guitars. They were the originality of that band |

He only did the Portuguese one in the end! The mix on my original LP of the Portuguese one was way better than the English version though. |

No doubt. Couldn't agree more. Best band of all time.
Im glad some one likes them as much as me ive seen them 5 times live and met gilmour mason & wright at a charity event my freinds dad organised in 1994 such down to earth heros."
Saw them in 1994. It was epic. You are lucky to have met them. Too cool. |

"Cheesy, got to be whitesnake
Go onto YouTube and check the pretty boy version (1987) against the ageing Brit journey men version (cozy Powell, mickie moody, Jon lord ...)
I prefer the pretty boy version, much more dynamics and Adrians solo is cool. But if memory servs me right musicians in the video played on the song.
That solo was the only thing Vandenberg played on the album, John Sykes played the rest of the guitars on the album, Don Airey played keyboards, Neil Murray played bass and Aynsley Dunbar played drums...like I said, another bunch of journeymen!
The band of pretty boys (though I don't think Tommy Aldridge ever qualified as a pretty boy) was put together specifically for the 'Still of the Night' video.
Dann Huff (genius guitarist and producer of US Country music's A List these days) played on the US 'radio mix' of 'Here I Go Again'.

Dan Huff....now his band Giant did a great 80's rock cd....and the track...(I'll See You) In My Dreams was an awesome song. |
