80s Metal fans... was this you?

[TomN]

Don't make me crack out my 8-Track player because I'll do it! Oh yes..... I will! You have been warned!

Muahahahaha!!!

 

[Finna]

Pami, Don McLean was in the 70's but I was around then as well just younger.

Yes I know this....apparently my sense of humor doesn't translate well here.

First joke that's went over my head...
...in ten minutes or so!
I'm sure everyone's laughing at your wit and my density.

 

[Ri22o]

People still have VHS tapes?! Didn't those go out about the same time as record albums?

Record albums?

Those damn young whipper-snappers!

 

[slacker]

Glad I was not alive for that... I don't think I missed out on much

Local video store was trying to sell a used VHS player a few months ago. It sat there for two weeks before they got someone to actually buy it. Price? $7.50

 

[ATM]

Gonna have to take the 5th here

I was 17 in '86 so let's just say all those people seemed WAY too familiar

Nice dig

 

[dburkhead]

Eh. I would have been 25 in 86 and 80's metal never did anything for me.

Now more recent Symphonic Metal (Nightwish, Evanescence, Xandria, Edenbridge, et al) and Power Metal (Dragonforce, Hammerfall, Lost Horizon, et al) are a whole different story. Then there's Gothic Metal (Within Temptation) and just plain Goth (The Cruxshadows--although they're really the only Goth group I like).

"Stand my ground, I won't give in.
"No more denying, I've got to face it.
"Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
"If I don't make it, someone else will
"Stand my Ground"
(Within Temptation, Stand My Ground)

"And in the fury of this darkest hour
"We will be your light
"You've asked me for my sacrifice
"And I am Winter born
"Without denying, a faith is come
"That I have never known
"I hear the angels call my name
"And I am Winter born"
(The Cruxshadows, Winterborn)

"He still can recall his father's words
"'Don't loose your faith, let your voice be heard'
"Echoes from the past will lead him on
"By these words of honor, shine like the sun
"By the sign of the moon
"He swore the oath to fight alone
(Hammerfall, Destined for Glory)

Good music for the revolution.

Too many slaves in this world
Die by torture and pain
Too many people do not see
Theyre killing themselves - going insane

Too many people do not know
Bondage is over the human race
They believe slaves always lose
And this fear keeps them down

Watch the damned (God bless ya)
Theyre gonna break their chains (hey)
No, you cant stop them (God bless ya)
Theyre coming to get you
And then youll get your

Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
Youll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall - balls to the wall

ACCEPT - 1983

 

[notasccrmom]

I wasnt born in 86....but i still like some 80's metal

I'll have to second that.

 

[karlsgunbunker]

I'm just glad they weren't filming in Dallas!

Spent many an evening in the Reunion Arena Parking lot suckin down brews and Burning........ uh uh charcoal, yeah charcoal, that's it.

 

[Bushido Devil Dog]

Ya'll missed the funniest part.... Miss "Yeah" said she'd "...jump Rob Halford's bones...", the only problem with that is ol' Rob is interested in 'bones' of a different sort... :moon:

 

[ATM]

...ol' Rob is interested in 'bones' of a different sort... :moon:

True... who could have seen that coming?

(btw, I never thought of the mooning smilie that way before.)

THANKS FOR THAT!

 

[Benny]

Good God, the 80's was an embarrassing time for music (kind of like now). I'm glad I was too young to remember most of it.
