Bouncing off the previous post, lets hit this road ...
Click 1 - Paradise City - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbm6GXllBiw
In my opinion, the best single from what should be one of the greatest bands in the world today except, the lead singer became the biggest douche in rock history, the rhythm guitarist is now playing country, the drummer has been in and out of rehab so many times that they threw him out of the band and they are the only band I have ever seen that actually canceled in the middle of the show due to a "hissy fit". Yeah fame is too difficult to handle!!!!!
Click 2 - Thunderstruck - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM
Ahhhhh, the greatest band ever plays the greatest intro song for sporing events. Think I am wrong, wait till you are sitting with 100+ thousand fans and the Alabama Crimson Tide hits that football field to this song and you see that reaction. Been there and done that!!!!!! Roll Tide!!!!!
Click 3 - Pour Some Sugar On Me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UIB9Y4OFPs#aid=P8xGY7XPZAw
First link to expand to the second line. Without a doubt one of the "funnest" concerts I saw in the 80s. Notice the drummer is playing with one arm? Also of note, the band sold this stage to George Straight not long after finishing there world tour. I saw the opening band "delivered" to the stage in large laundry hampers to get them to the stage so that they could perform and they left by literally running through the crowd when they were done performing. Tesla!!!! Sadly, at the age of 18 I had jeans that looked equally bad.
Click 4 - Here I Go Again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3MXiTeH_Pg
David was old by the time they shot this video, but she (Shawna?) was not and she looked awesome climbing on those cars. This was every boys dream (at least at my age). Saw them not long after the video came out and I remember seeing both of them prior to the show in an elevator, a great moment for a 17 year old boy.
Click 5 - Once Bitten Twice Shy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz61YQWZuYU
Speaking of fun 80's tunes, this one comes as a cover song. Funny thing, I had my leather packet painted with the skull at 0:16 seconds wearing a head band that proclaimed "Mr. Bone"!!! World Class now that I think about it but I was 16/17 at the time. I think my second wife still has that jacket. To bad this band didn't go further. I had the privilege of seeing these guys numerous times over the years. Awesome everytime. Not a bad looker in the "backup band either", many stories can be told about several of them.
Click 6 - Cherry Pie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjyZKfdwlng
This may not be the best song option to end with but since I hinted at it previously, You might notice that the hot blond in the black bra in the previous video is the same hottie dancing in this video too. Good lord, in my young man days, this was the bomb!!!!!
Alright, one of my favorite trips. I have seen each of these bands multiple times regardless of band changes and my age changes. I love good ole fashion 80s hair metal music! Im sure we will see more examples of this in future blogs.
