Guilty pleasure

[saint]

Guilty pleasure, so I was wondering after talking hairbands in another thread, what 80/90 band did you listen to back in the day that today (or even then) is/was not considered credible, but you still find fun and interesting to listen to? I go first, I was a big fan of Kingdome Come and I loved their first 2 albums, good vocals, cathy riffs, but they were considered “Led Clones” Gary More even wrote a song about them, and they were really bashed and you didn’t exactly start conversations with your friend with - Oh have you heard Kingdome Comes new album. But I really liked them, and still on occasion get on a nostalgia trip and listen to them.

I used to jam this song called "Chains" by Collision. For some reason I really dug it, still play the CD sometimes and always turn that song up.

[saint]

Haven´t heard them, but will check them out

[Whorehey]

I listened to a lot of Van Halen in the early 80's...
they put out four killer albums.

[sonrisa salvaje]

I listened to a lot of fringe bands that weren't very popular in the late 80's and early 90's. As far as hair metal goes a band called D.A.D. comes to mind. They had an album called No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims that I used to jam. Non rock stuff I still listen to would be Big Country, Simple Minds and the Fixx.

[saint]

D.A.D are awesome seen them live many times they always put on a good show and have tons of good songs to choose from so I always leave thinking why didn´t they play that one :)

I did this in the 80s. Human sexual response, The shades. the neighborhoods, Sticky little fingers, the Fools, etc...

[Zing!]

I had every Dweezil Zappa album once upon a time.

I like to play the guitar part to Cinderella's Gypsy Road when no one is around....

:gulp:

But I feel guilty and ashamed when it's over.

Funny, I have a Marshall amp mod of that tone I like to use when no one's looking... for bass... ;)

Cool. Let's start a Cinderella Tribute Band ;)

Nothing wrong with veering of the beaten path, anybody can follow the popular shit....

Aw, man - I have to be Jeff LaBar, don't I? :biggrin:

I think there's a coat with tails in my Dad's closet...
Find a pair of Chuck Taylors and I'm IN!

[twonabomber]

Still have the first three...on cassette...

[FORD]

I bought all the Stryper albums.... and still say they were better than most of the genre (though paradoxically, made some of the worst ballads)

[Mr. Vengeance]

I loved E.G. Daily. I have three of her albums from that era. Something about her voice makes me feel good.

[twonabomber]

Oh yeah!

OK, how do I not remember this chick??

Not exactly my genre of music, but I would have remembered HER??

[twonabomber]

She was Dottie in the first Pee Wee Herman movie...

[DLR Bridge]

I used to jam this song called "Chains" by Collision. For some reason I really dug it, still play the CD sometimes and always turn that song up.

You're the only other person I know who's heard of them. I love that first CD start to finish. Their second one was ok, but not near as good.

[FORD]

What if Iron Maiden was a Christian band..........

First?

There was more than one? :doh:

[CDOG'S SOCK]

Cool. Let's start a Cinderella Tribute Band ;)




I'll sing if you guys let me in to the clique. My owner is really mad at you guys but if I can get a foot in the door........... Get it? Foot? I'm a sock? That is gold right there.

Give it up :sockfucker:

Really lame....

:gulp:

Jesus Christ even Ric Flair is funnier..... uhuhuhuh huhuhuhuhuhuhu

Banya is a sock??

[DLR Bridge]

I had every Dweezil Zappa album once upon a time.

Those fuckers are hard to find now. His band Z with his brother Ahmet singing was pretty good. I still have his solo CD Confessions Of A Deprived Youth. Dated as hell now, but great back then. Has Nuno's first ever crack at lead vocals sans Gary on a tune.

Which leads me to my main guilty pleasure for which I feel no guilt at all. Any project outside of Extreme involving Nuno. Solo, Mourning Widows, Population 1, Dramagods. All great stuff. I've checked out You Tubes of him with Riahna. While its an interesting pairing and I'm sure a well paying gig, I'd rather he not bother recording with her. That music's just not my bag.

[LoungeMachine]

Why don't they call it "Round-tine"?

:lmao:

That's GOLD, Jerry ;)

[jhale667]

No socks in the clique. :doh:

[CDOG'S SOCK]

Sockfucker? Ric Flair? I'm CDOG'S SOCK! That Flair guy sounds like a bootlicker.

[LoungeMachine]

Bootlicker?

:doh:

[FORD]

Bootlicker?

:doh:

Well... a sock spends a lot of time inside a boot (when not being violated by Socky) so it would know a bootlicker, I guess?

[LoungeMachine]

FORD from the outside...... 3 points!!! ;)

My owner is always calling people bootlickers, I am an expert by injection.

And for some of us with kids a certain age, she was Tommy Pickles on the Rugrats.

I have Z's Shampoohorn. Don't remember listening to it much.

The Kiss, the Nuno thing from Confessions, is a great song. There's a bunch of good stuff on there. Six solos on the cover of Stayin' Alive...

For me though...it was all about Skid Row...

I lent Shampoohorn out so long ago and never got it back. All I can remember about it was how much of a Fair Warning fan Dweezil must have been.

I think Stayin' Alive had Donnie Osmond singing lead on it, too. Pretty funny. His cover of Anytime At All with the gang vocal all the way through was rockin'.

[DLR Bridge]

I'm constantly praising their 3rd CD, Subhuman Race around here. They hit the nail on the head with that one, then completely fell to shit. They need Bas as bad as VH needed Dave.

[Mr. Vengeance]

Yeah! The classic Big Top Pee Wee!!

That’s really good a hint of AC/DC in there :)

[Zing!]

I always dug their B-Side EP. Good stuff! A good buddy of mine always claimed Subhuman was their best album, but I've never even heard a single track off of it.

[FORD]

One of the Powerpuff Girls too, apparently. (yes, I actually looked it up)

But that's alright, because the writers of that show were definitely VH fans........

[ashstralia]

i even forgot how good they were!!

wonder what they're up to now?

[FORD]

I think Stayin' Alive had Donnie Osmond singing lead on it, too. Pretty funny.

I thought it was Ozzy?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaGsPzuQKlU

[FORD]

Speaking of which.... here's Dweezil playing an Ozzy song.... with Jack Black remembering the lyrics about as well as Ozzy does.....

[envy_me]

My guilty pleasure was a band called Clockwise. They were a hard rock band from the 90's and only released 2 albums.

[ashstralia]

yeah saint, but the good ac⚡dc... i also get why axhole didn't like 'em. ;)

Donny is on the CD version.

Well, since your Hellacopters kicked ass, I'll have to check them out. What were they like?

[envy_me]

They are not as great as Hellacopters, that is why it's my guilty plasure :D I might be the only one who likes them.
Here is one song. It's pretty hard to find them even on youtube. If you're really observant you'll notice that the drummer and bassplayer are from Europe the band. That's how I discovered them :)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7sb2Xb5rbQ

They are SO fantastic!!!

But believe it or not, right now I am listening to Mexican music :)

They do sound like Europe-light. Not great, but better than Del Amitri. :biggrin:

[sadaist]

The music I listened to is very credible....just not to the metal/stoner crowd of the 80s. Journey, The Police, some Oingo Boingo, some English Beat, Men At Work. Yeah I was all Megadeth & Metallica by day, but when alone I still loved the other stuff too. So glad we all outgrew that phase & can openly share all types of music we enjoy.

80s Metallica still tops all of the above mentioned though :)

[envy_me]

Hahaha, yeah, the songs are pretty amateurly done, with no typical structure and it's not something that anybody besides me likes, but I liked them when I was younger. I haven't played them in years :)

[CDOG'S SOCK]

I like the GOAT. He can't sing, they can't play for shit but my owner likes them so what choice does a sock have?

[mh5150]

Used to go to a place called Hammerjacks in Baltimore. They used to play a song called Monkey Bars by Coney Hatch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iOpSDHM3os&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[envy_me]

I also like a few songs by Mark Boals, I have never heard of anybody else liking him.
Here's Ring of fire. Great song.

The guitar player Jan from Clockwise also played with an excellent group Glory with singer Göran Edman who previously sang with Malmsteen. Those were the days, If you haven’t heard them check out ;)

Coney Hatch actually had a short bit of success here in Canada in the early 80s. Their debut album was really quite good. This tune got a lot of radio airplay.
