what poison will never get is the music died bc it was juvenille lyrics and stupid unnecesary guitar solos. Grunge had depth. Thoughtful lyrics and guitar noise not neccisarily solos. But lyrically is why no one could take cry tough seriously. Simple. We grew up and they didnt.
Certainly was fun. Concerts every where. Tickets were 8 10 50 dollars for seats people pay 4 or 500 for today. Technology ruined the the ability for average people to afford a concert unless they want to sit on a lawn a football field away from the stage and watch it on a big tv. lol It truly sucks. Band played in theatres in the 70's and 80's. Only big cities had arenas and now every city has at least a 5000 seater.
70s were by far the best decade to be young. It was not over regulated and nobody really gave a darn about pot and stuff. We had all the good rock bands
I was in high school and college in the 80s. It was a great time for music and concerts. No cellphones, no internet and the shows were larger than life. They were general admission too, so you were free to move up towards the stage and closer to the band if you wanted to. Great times.
And ticket prices were under $20. But we snuck in to see every band that came to my town. Just went to a side door, knocked on it and some cool dude would open it and let us in. Good times
Totally correct. No cellphones, just push button cord-ensnaring wall phones and definitely no internet for the public. You had to get your info from Cream Magazine, Rolling Stone, or Hit Parader. Most of the music scene's news would be three months old by the time a magazine hit the shelves. General Admission was the standard. High-priced premium seating hadn't arrived yet. KISW had Rising Star shows back then at $3 a ticket. Great times, indeed.
If you didn't live through the 80s I'm sorry. It was the best decade to be a teenager with the best music genre and I was all up in it!!🤘🤘Thank you 1980s, you made me what I am today!!!🤪🤘
who else gets emotional listening to these great musicians ? This music and time is something no future generation will get. I cry I miss the 80s so bad. Real music, Real musicians, Real talent.
If you could build one you would have already gone back meaning you would not be here wishing you could go back now. Therefore the laws of physics state that you cannot go "Back For More" to quote Ratt.
I wish that 2020 was a friendly era for kids my age looking to have fun, get into trouble, and screw around on guitars in their garages. Nowadays, parents are so uptight, teens are sheltered, streets are dangerous, etc.
Damn I miss the 80s. I can hear a song from that decade, close my eyes and I'm right back there. To be 20 forever and rock n roll all night long sounds perfect. 🤘
Music is always a sign of the times its in. Those were fun, carefree times and the music reflected it. That kind of great, fun music isnt possible in today's tense, angry society.

Heavy Metal kicked ass in the first half of the '80s(1980-84)... HEAVY & LOUD!!!!... because of Van Halen's 'Jump' marked the decline of that era of heavy metal... making it watered down...Van Halen being the first metal band to use synthesizers... keyboards... REALLY!?!... What about UFO...Thin Lizzy...Deep Purple...Uriah Heep... other bands for their day categorized as metal Styx...Night Ranger...Foreigner... Queen... Blue Oyster Cult used keyboards and/or synthesizers...Geoff Nichols contributed to Black Sabbath...no thanks to Van Halen from 1985 onward "heavy metal" became wimpy...but bands like Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, & Slayer ushered in a new era of metal...they are what Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, & Uriah Heep were a decade earlier...hard rock, heavy rock, heavy metal, glam, punk...I liked it all...as the '80s passed along MTV metal was becoming a parody of itself...til Nirvana/grunge crushed it.
I agree with Lita. America NEEDS metal to come back. Relatable people playing real music and actually CARING about their fans. I was a teenager in the 80s and I wouldn't trade that for anything. When you see a kid today hear a cool metal song from back then, their face lights up and they cant believe their ears.... its like totally awesome dude!
Rock had 40 years of dominance between 1956 and 1996. It isn't coming back. At least, if it does, it will sound very different from 80s rock. That being said, the intensity, rawness, and rebelliousness of metal and punk bands in the 80s and early 90s would need to be present for rock to have any chance of a comeback. You cant have whiny upper middle class emo kids bitching about first world problems or lame ass 40 year old nu metal musicians desperately trying to look and sound like rappers. Rock bands will need to be innovative and original and raw in the same way they were before the late 90s. Pay no mind to the flailing fucktard below me.
Without a doubt! Think about all the stuff one would hear on the radio back in the 80's. MOST of the music emanated from singer songwriters/musicians. It stayed like that for a little bit into the early to mid 90's, but then music on the radio got really simplistic and what is popular on the radio isn't even remotely close to that era. I love metal, but I also liked what was happening from a Top 40 perspective for the most part back in the 80's.
Thats because it was better ,music now days is unoriginal shit even metal today while i still like todays metal its not as good as it was in the 80s and early 90s stuff today is all about bpm and the music part is lost and all the bands all sound the same. Pop music has been ruined by american idol and autotune ,rap and country were never good and rock is practically gone.

I don’t care what anybody says, the 80’s were the absolute greatest decade for music because it was actually music, most of the fashion and everything else. I was there and I loved every bit sad to see those years go and if I could ever go back to spend just one day,,,, I would die happy🤘
Absolutely! We had microwaves, VCRs, a video store on every corner. We had cable -- if not, we had antennae TV and could get 6 stations. Now, if you don't have cable/phone/Internet package for $300+/month, you're screwed. The only thing I would change if I went back to the 80s and stayed would be cell phones. No apps, GPS, just a phone for outgoing calls. My POS cars used to break down all the time in bad areas by myself at night with no payphone in sight.
Heavy metal, pop rock, hard rock, glam rock, punk rock, and other types of rock is still rock and roll. I still listen to it all the time and you cant kill it. Keep rocking Lita Ford
They were a hard rock band, and pretty much as hard as it got it 78 ! But I get your point. David Lee Roth was in need of attention and wanted to be a sex symbol/star almost more than a musician in the biggest rock band!
80's was the best! Krokus, Skid Row, Metallica, Heart, Pantera, Ratt, Van Halen, Motley Crew, Kixx, all you rocking M-fers helped me through the toughest part of my life!! Queensryche, Bullet Boys, Lita Ford. Yes I'm 50yrs old I miss it and want y'all to come back!! Best rock era ever never be the same! Keep on rocking people! Music makes everyone happy!!!
Mr G Lynch with Dokken were jsu another league,way above than most shitty bands like the Crue,Poison and on and on. But the mighty Van Halen were so ahead of their time.I didn't like it at all when the grunge era cama around,but now,years later,i'm thinking "Thank f.... for that!!!" Hi from France :)
@jimjd1969 disagree with you, Don Dokken's solo album is fantastic. "Back for the attack", "tooth and nail", and "under Lock and key" are all outstanding.
Van Halen was 70's, not 80's. And yes, they were above the rest when it came to talent (Not DLR so much) but the other gents. Dokken picked up from that and were actually quite a bit more talented than most bands of the 80's. There were a handful of very talented bands and musicians in the mix, some obscure and forgotten until you hear that song you forgot pop on. It stunk we lost that era, but I still think the 90's were just as good and to some degree better. AIC, and Chris Cornell will mark that era well.
They come from right here and I saw them a lot when they were The Shoes. That dude was a heroin addict and had to leave the band for a while. A friend of mine played with him some time in the past decade.
You honestly believe that in the '80s, nobody had gunfights and the whole bloody planet wasn't covered in hidden video cameras? You really believe that? That kinda shit (especially hidden cameras recording your every fart, nosepick and jerk-off session) reached their absolute *pinnacle* in the '80s. People were just less aware of it. I'm 43 years old and pretty much every aspect of my life was recorded on camera, and I was just a little Canadian attempting to mind his own business and live his own little life. Fucked if every single tiny little thing I ever saw, smelled, or shit out wasn't recorded. What do you think it's like for anyone in their 40s or even 50s living in, say, Los Angeles CA? Fuck me, everything from your first shit, to your first nut, and everything else, is on file with your fucking government.
I am grateful to have been young during this whole rock experience. I was born in 1962 and I got to see it all come forth. Dam I had a good time! The latter generations never got that experience and I feel bad for them but it can happen again if they want it. Rock and roll will always be the most fun! It will never die as long as people want to have fun!
I agree with lita ford. Not everyone likes rap. Not everyone likes the music that exists today and they are people who want rock n roll as it supposed to be and great. It must return. I say it must return and stay.
It's because there are no original rock bands nowadays. They most prominent new one Greta Van Fleet isn't progressing rock in any way and as well all know sounds like Zeppelin
Everyone loves the music that was from their time as a teen. It's not that one era is better than another. We really seem to form our tastes for music during this time. I do like hair metal more than grunge or the stuff played today, but I am 34 years old so to me the very best stuff is that late 90's early 2000's hard rock. I even still enjoy nu metal.
august 1st 1981 at 12:01 am MTV came on the scene with its first airing and it changed the world and made the 80s what they were, one of the greatest decades of music ever!
Absolute best era of music ever. Life was good. Music was versatile, and different and meaningful. Best times of my life. Ill never foget it. Good friends good times. In my head im still 20 years old. In reality im 57 😮 damnit man. I wish we could all go back and do it again. I really miss the feel of life back then. ROCK ON FRIENDS GOD BLESS YOU ALL.😊
I grew up watching Mtv me and my best friend would go and sleepover at her grandmother's house cause she had cable and she would watch headbangers ball with us . Looking back at that brings a tear to my eye.
For me 80’s hardrock , and trashmetal was my way to escape on problems in my youth . And still am a big fan of those bands ! I played guitar in a coverband . Priest, Dokken , Dio, Van Halen, Maiden ... Loved it! Best time of my life !
Back in the 90´s I was forced by MTV to watch and almost like grunge bands. I thought back then that metal was dead, but I wasn´t satisfied with the music I was hearing. Searching in the "new" internet back then, I found that metal was still alive, almost underground, and founded many heavy, power, and progressive metal bands. I discovered Gamma Ray, Symphony X, Blind Guardian, Nocturnal Rites, Labyrinth, Rhapsody, Axel Rudy Pell, Sanvoisen, Primal Fear, Hammerfall, Lordian Guard, Iced Earth, Lemur Voice, Magnitude 9, Nightwish, Death, etc... Today I don´t know what is being played on radio stations anymore, but for sure I listen to the music I really love.
What about Metallica? "Nevermind" and 'the black album' were released at the same time (only a month of difference). Metallica was also different to glam bands. I don't see why when it comes to early 90's everybody talks about Nirvana. Kurt and company had a couple of great classics, but there was more stuff happening. There was life out of "Smells Like A Teen Spirit".
Guns N Roses' Appetite For Destruction was the first step away from hair metal, and then Nirvana just took it one step further, they didn't like each other, but they took things in the same direction: music coming from the streets and not from silicone-filled pool parties at expensive hotels. In other words, Nirvana may have been one of the last nails in the coffin for the hair bands, but Guns N Roses was the first. Sure, Nirvana din't kill off anything, it was the new generation of mainstream music fans who killed it , because they wanted something different, hence the massive success of Guns N Roses, Metallica, and Nirvana.
I guess you never listen to Appetite for Destruction cause its full of great Hard Rock songs and a ballad called sweet child of mine which is greatest guitar riff of all time.
The rock revival: Guns N' Roses were 2016's highest-earning world tour per city Legendary rockers Guns N' Roses topped the list, which was compiled using data provided to the industry magazine, Pollstar, with an average per city gross of $5,004,737.
Back in the 80's, I rarely listened to heavy metal....but NOW, I listen to it a LOT, cos it's a zillion times better than the crap that's being produced for the masses today.
@jimjd1969 You had ACDC Shook me all night long in 81 but there was no stand out MTV video for that song. When Come on Feel the Noise came out in 83 and their video for the song on MTV, i can remember as a 13 year old thinking this is what made heavy metal so popular back then. That was the song and video.
I was 9 years old and my older brother played "Come on Feel the Noise" over and over. It was so loud, and he played it so many times in succession, I had to open my bedroom door, look down the hall and it was like I could feel the music. It seemed like the wooden door was actually shaking and vibrating from the heavy pounding drums. I felt a little scared, but more excited than I ever felt in my young life. I didn't know why. Years later I would find out. First I loved Def Leppard. Then Motley Crue. Then Guns n' Roses, then Metallica. I guess it was love at first listen.
the 80's was just an awesome party that lasted nearly 10yrs.I'm glad I was part of it,glad I survived it,can't really remember all of it but hey,like they say if you remember the 80's then you didn't live in tbe 80's
@@Tmh21791 Personally, I think their last great album was Theater of Pain. After that they lost their edge and became more glam rock. I agree with you, and that's the story with most of these bands. Today they play old hits, but are unable to write anything good that's new.
They did their share where is your best selling albums, you get old after 20+ years. They were for the 80s and and 90s not us. They played for nostalgia for their fans and the love of music when they got older they didn’t have to tour that long. New kids need to make badass music and not shit haha
Depressing self absorbed party pooper music! That was grunge!! Very nihilistic and whiny! When grunge hit the scene i turned 30 years old, and i stopped listening to music.
Each decade has a renewal. So the '60s had the British invasion, girl groups & Motown, the '70s had prog, glam, early metal, punk and disco, '80s had New Wave, hair metal, early rap (with breakdancing) and Hi-NRG, '90s had grunge, gangsta rap, R&B/pop and Max Martin pop, 2000s had garage rock, punk-pop and emo, 2010s had EDM and trap and 2020 is currently a female rap resurgence. It's good to see changes in each decade. Makes things refreshing and always captures a mood and time in history. 😊
Man this brings back memories. I saw Motley C. back in my high school days maybe in 83 or 84 can't really remember. I saw Wasp I think opening for either Iron Maiden or Ozzy, just saw Iron M. again b/c my friend won 2 tickets to concert in San Antonio, and I also saw Judas Priest not too long ago. Man, brings back memories plus they guys are still jamming at thier age, its fucking great. Keep those videos coming.

Now, if you don't have cable/phone/Internet package for $300+/month, you're screwed. The only thing I would change if I went back to the 80s and stayed would be cell phones. No apps, GPS, just a phone for outgoing calls. My POS cars used to break down all the time in bad areas by myself at night with no payphone in sight.
Heavy metal, pop rock, hard rock, glam rock, punk rock, and other types of rock is still rock and roll. I still listen to it all the time and you cant kill it. Keep rocking Lita Ford
It's really men, long live rock and roll.🇨🇴
That's how it's suppose to be, put in Goth rock and Emo, it's all Rock n Roll, why separation
I only listen to bands from the 80s and 90s
Exactly 🤘
I’m fell lucky to experience the era of 80’s and early 90’s where the youth spirit so alive!!! MTV is a must to watch!
To this day, whenever anyone asks me how I’m doing, I answer:
I’m rocking with Dokken
I was in college when MTV first came on. It was great back then. It was nothing but music videos. The way it should be!!!!!!!!!!
The 80s were a great time for music, The Music Scene was so Awesome!
If you played. The poseurs were unbearable.
Van Halen was the first Metal band to start the 'Smile' thing. They were the first Metal 'Party' band, NOT Bon Jovi.
Van Halen is a HARD ROCK band.
Craig Comeaux yep they were the definitive party band
They were a hard rock band, and pretty much as hard as it got it 78 ! But I get your point. David Lee Roth was in need of attention and wanted to be a sex symbol/star almost more than a musician in the biggest rock band!
Fritha71 shut up kid
Van halen is heaviest than bon jovi
Ah yes, the 1980s, when everyone got along and politics just took a back seat to everything else.
80's was the best!
Krokus, Skid Row, Metallica, Heart, Pantera, Ratt, Van Halen, Motley Crew, Kixx, all you rocking M-fers helped me through the toughest part of my life!! Queensryche, Bullet Boys, Lita Ford. Yes I'm 50yrs old I miss it and want y'all to come back!! Best rock era ever never be the same! Keep on rocking people! Music makes everyone happy!!!
Played at parties got drunk got laid got high...I miss my youth
I want your youth, mine sucked!
Awww, the parties I miss those...
You could tell how cool a dude was by how many cassettes he carried around with him.
Watched this special as a kid. Couldn’t believe Brett Michaels shaved his hair off. Man I’m glad hair metal lives on forever! \m/
He's bald. That's why he shaved it. He hides the bald spot with a bandanna.
Well, I think you should watch it as an adult. Fashion metal is dead, they pretty much said that without actually saying it in this very video.
Hahahaha steel Panther yeeeeessss, that’s fun !! 80s rocked
Born 88. Grew up with grunge. Wish I lived the 80s 🥺
These guys aren't giving them selves enough credit,I still love all that music from the 80's,nothing will ever top that for me!!!
Dokken what a great band. We had era that the world will never forget. The new generation play our music.
We had bands that played live.
I'm grateful for the memories of the 80s. Philadelphia USA
The best times of my life. The 80s will live forever.
Dokken!!! At least they have the humility to poke fun at themselves, but their music is incredible!!!
Dokken was far better than most bands of that era, I still rock the fuck out of some Dokken.
Mr G Lynch with Dokken were jsu another league,way above than most shitty bands like the Crue,Poison and on and on. But the mighty Van Halen were so ahead of their time.I didn't like it at all when the grunge era cama around,but now,years later,i'm thinking "Thank f.... for that!!!" Hi from France :)
@jimjd1969 disagree with you, Don Dokken's solo album is fantastic. "Back for the attack", "tooth and nail", and "under Lock and key" are all outstanding.
Van Halen was 70's, not 80's. And yes, they were above the rest when it came to talent (Not DLR so much) but the other gents. Dokken picked up from that and were actually quite a bit more talented than most bands of the 80's. There were a handful of very talented bands and musicians in the mix, some obscure and forgotten until you hear that song you forgot pop on. It stunk we lost that era, but I still think the 90's were just as good and to some degree better. AIC, and Chris Cornell will mark that era well.
@@nicolassosolic3760 Crue is a shitty band?
Kixx- the most under-rated band in this.
Wore their cassette out
The tastiest turd in the hair band punch bowl??
They come from right here and I saw them a lot when they were The Shoes. That dude was a heroin addict and had to leave the band for a while. A friend of mine played with him some time in the past decade.
Kix best concert I have been to
Blow my fuse!!!
Its so sad we lost the 80s music...and Mtv used to be cool back in the day. My parents had two tvs. In the house that played Mtv 24 7 every day.
I really missed the 80s. Not just metal but everthing ❤
THE 80's.....WHEN PEOPLE FOUGHT WITH THEIR HANDS NOT GUN'S..AND THERE WASN'T A CAMERA ON EVERY CORNER....
ADDING TO YOUR WONDERFUL COMMENT : AND NO STUPID " SOCIAL " MEDIA & MOBILE GADGETS....
In the 80s conflicts were resolved with dance battles.
Exactly and when a fight broke out when one guy fell the fight was over point was made not this MMA garbage
You honestly believe that in the '80s, nobody had gunfights and the whole bloody planet wasn't covered in hidden video cameras?
You really believe that?
That kinda shit (especially hidden cameras recording your every fart, nosepick and jerk-off session) reached their absolute *pinnacle* in the '80s. People were just less aware of it.
I'm 43 years old and pretty much every aspect of my life was recorded on camera, and I was just a little Canadian attempting to mind his own business and live his own little life. Fucked if every single tiny little thing I ever saw, smelled, or shit out wasn't recorded.
What do you think it's like for anyone in their 40s or even 50s living in, say, Los Angeles CA? Fuck me, everything from your first shit, to your first nut, and everything else, is on file with your fucking government.
And there was NO cell phones at shows!!
Lita was looking foxy as hell all cuddled up in her little blanket lol
The Death Twitch My Rock Sister!
@@kimchristensen8149 my sister is actually named after her. I think it's a cool name I wish I had a rockstar name lol she doesn't even listen to metal
@@god6384 I Like The Wrestler Lita Too.
80s music was the best era ever
I am grateful to have been young during this whole rock experience. I was born in 1962 and I got to see it all come forth. Dam I had a good time! The latter generations never got that experience and I feel bad for them but it can happen again if they want it. Rock and roll will always be the most fun! It will never die as long as people want to have fun!
I agree with lita ford. Not everyone likes rap. Not everyone likes the music that exists today and they are people who want rock n roll as it supposed to be and great. It must return. I say it must return and stay.
It will come back bro don’t worry... ;)
All of these bands are on tour. they havent gone away. they arent mainstream, but they are out there
It's because there are no original rock bands nowadays. They most prominent new one Greta Van Fleet isn't progressing rock in any way and as well all know sounds like Zeppelin
Everyone loves the music that was from their time as a teen. It's not that one era is better than another. We really seem to form our tastes for music during this time. I do like hair metal more than grunge or the stuff played today, but I am 34 years old so to me the very best stuff is that late 90's early 2000's hard rock. I even still enjoy nu metal.
I used to like rap, back in the 80's and 90's when it actually it meant something
august 1st 1981 at 12:01 am MTV came on the scene with its first airing and it changed the world and made the 80s what they were, one of the greatest decades of music ever!
I bet they could do a month of 80s music videos and their ratings would go thru the roof.
Loved it. And the intro music theme riff from MTV is and will always be legendary.
Absolute best era of music ever. Life was good. Music was versatile, and different and meaningful. Best times of my life. Ill never foget it. Good friends good times. In my head im still 20 years old. In reality im 57 😮 damnit man. I wish we could all go back and do it again. I really miss the feel of life back then. ROCK ON FRIENDS GOD BLESS YOU ALL.😊
an era that will never be back, and i loved it, and still do, i hope hair metal NEVER dies.
The 80's rocked ......................................................
Totally!
Rick Deschenes The 80's was the best decade ever!! Definitely had the best rock! Oh, take me back!
Rick Deschenes yeah, the thrash/nwobhm bands rocked and are still making killer music. dokken, ratt, wasp, and skidd row were awesome too
The 90's Sucks....
When I was a teen in the early 90s, we appreciated both grunge and hair metal. We bought Soundgarden and Warrant albums. They coexisted for a while.
Soundgarden & AIC are good shtt
Right but the radio stations was sad and I want to get rid of the stuff from let's just call it the 85 to 92.
True. There was that overlap around '91, '92. By that time I was getting into death metal and the underground stuff, though.
@@lockandloadlikehell good shit? You mean like a polished turd? Yeah, I'd say that's pretty accurate.
I was born in 1967. Feb. 19, 1980, I turned 13 and lived, and I mean lived, all my teen years in that awesome decade.
Motley crue was a monster all on their own. I never really labeled them as a "hair metal band" until kickstart my heart.
I grew up watching Mtv me and my best friend would go and sleepover at her grandmother's house cause she had cable and she would watch headbangers ball with us . Looking back at that brings a tear to my eye.
Having Warren Demartini pick you up from school and also just happens to be your dad..that wouldn't suck..
George Lynch....
Has alway come off as a grounded level headed nice person.
5:12 Nikki must have known of the underground movement in seattle.
They were all aware of it. They were friends of some of the musicians.
Bon Jovi isnt a heavy metal band but Living on a Prayer is one of biggest and most recognizable rocksong of the 80's and still today.
Being a teenager in the 80s was awsome! I loved it !
nights with a case of beer and couple of joints watching MTV for hours
I get sad every time I watch these things. I sooooooooo miss real good and fun 80s music.
My kids will never know how much fun it was growing up in the 80s. Best music Ever!! ❤ 🤘🤘
Wake me up when this come back
the 80's was the best time
Richard Bassarath yeah, the thrash/nwobhm bands were aswesome
David Catanus death metal.
David Catanus my band's
Richard Bassarath oh yes I forgot about the underground death netal/black metal scene that was happening at the time as well haha
I love the 80's!!! I absolutely loved being a teen in the 80's.
Loved this era of true musicians. People actually knew how to play instruments.
Both 90s Grunge and 80s Metal are Beautiful Genres
hell yeah! F the beef between both of the genres, they are both great Rock And Roll genres!
For me 80’s hardrock , and trashmetal was my way to escape on problems in my youth .
And still am a big fan of those bands !
I played guitar in a coverband .
Priest, Dokken , Dio, Van Halen, Maiden ...
Loved it! Best time of my life !
80's was the BEST Decade for music And MTV!!!!!!!!!!!!
Warren Demartini is the humblest guy to come out of that 80s shitstorm. I always dug him. He let his playing speak for him.
lol
Back in the 90´s I was forced by MTV to watch and almost like grunge
bands. I thought back then that metal was dead, but I wasn´t satisfied
with the music I was hearing. Searching in the "new" internet back then,
I found that metal was still alive, almost underground, and founded
many heavy, power, and progressive metal bands. I discovered Gamma Ray,
Symphony X, Blind Guardian, Nocturnal Rites, Labyrinth, Rhapsody, Axel
Rudy Pell, Sanvoisen, Primal Fear, Hammerfall, Lordian Guard, Iced
Earth, Lemur Voice, Magnitude 9, Nightwish, Death, etc... Today I don´t
know what is being played on radio stations anymore, but for sure I
listen to the music I really love.
All of those bands have happy time names.
Excuse me while I slash my wrists.
80's hard rock will never die!
Some of the greatest albums of hard rock n metal released during the 80's.
wow i remember MTV ,. i watched it all the time ,. i want my MTV.
Guns N Roses sold more albums and had the most successful rock tour in the 1990's than any Grunge band. So Nirvana didn't kill off anything.
What about Metallica? "Nevermind" and 'the black album' were released at the same time (only a month of difference). Metallica was also different to glam bands. I don't see why when it comes to early 90's everybody talks about Nirvana. Kurt and company had a couple of great classics, but there was more stuff happening. There was life out of "Smells Like A Teen Spirit".
Guns N Roses' Appetite For Destruction was the first step away from hair metal, and then Nirvana just took it one step further, they didn't like each other, but they took things in the same direction: music coming from the streets and not from silicone-filled pool parties at expensive hotels. In other words, Nirvana may have been one of the last nails in the coffin for the hair bands, but Guns N Roses was the first.
Sure, Nirvana din't kill off anything, it was the new generation of mainstream music fans who killed it , because they wanted something different, hence the massive success of Guns N Roses, Metallica, and Nirvana.
yeah sure it was, they used hair spray too. also had sappy Ballads.
I guess you never listen to Appetite for Destruction cause its full of great Hard Rock songs and a ballad called sweet child of mine which is greatest guitar riff of all time.
The rock revival: Guns N' Roses were 2016's highest-earning world tour per city
Legendary rockers Guns N' Roses topped the list, which was compiled using data provided to the industry magazine, Pollstar, with an average per city gross of $5,004,737.
It don't matter which bands I liked or didn't like.... that was an awesome time in my life as a teenager heck yeah!!
My Wonder Years. My best years. 😍 Well, I'm a bit older now. I have more on my mind. 😉 I am still a metalhead. Long Live Rock 'n' Roll! Eternal love.
Long live the 80s! Great times, no hate, no BS. Just going out and having fun. 🤪🤘🍻🔥
Back in the 80's, I rarely listened to heavy metal....but NOW, I listen to it a LOT, cos it's a zillion times better than the crap that's being produced for the masses today.
Quiet Riots 2 songs Come on Feel the Noise and Metal Heath and their 2 videos on MTV in 1983 is what started the heavy metal phenomenon in the 80s
@jimjd1969 You had ACDC Shook me all night long in 81 but there was no stand out MTV video for that song.
When Come on Feel the Noise came out in 83 and their video for the song on MTV, i can remember as a 13 year old thinking this is what made heavy metal so popular back then. That was the song and video.
Slick Black Cadillac was such a great song from the Metal Health album. That whole album was great start to finish.
@Josie Whales lol
I was 9 years old and my older brother played "Come on Feel the Noise" over and over. It was so loud, and he played it so many times in succession, I had to open my bedroom door, look down the hall and it was like I could feel the music. It seemed like the wooden door was actually shaking and vibrating from the heavy pounding drums. I felt a little scared, but more excited than I ever felt in my young life. I didn't know why. Years later I would find out. First I loved Def Leppard. Then Motley Crue. Then Guns n' Roses, then Metallica. I guess it was love at first listen.
That was magic...all was possible...dreams really came true in every sense..!!! Miss the 80's a lot !!!!
the 80's was just an awesome party that lasted nearly 10yrs.I'm glad I was part of it,glad I survived it,can't really remember all of it but hey,like they say if you remember the 80's then you didn't live in tbe 80's
Definition of irony 'Nikki sixx asks for revolution, revolution then kills his own band'
Josh Sherlock Killed his band? They just retired in 2015 after spending most of the previous 10 years packing in arenas and headlining festivals.
@@derekabma yeah, playing their old recycled garbage. What did they release in those ten years that was big? How about 20 years? Absolutely nothing.
@@Tmh21791 Personally, I think their last great album was Theater of Pain. After that they lost their edge and became more glam rock. I agree with you, and that's the story with most of these bands. Today they play old hits, but are unable to write anything good that's new.
that's not irony, unless you consider rain on a summer day ironic. he knew the scene had become full of shit and, based on history, the end was near.
They did their share where is your best selling albums, you get old after 20+ years. They were for the 80s and and 90s not us. They played for nostalgia for their fans and the love of music when they got older they didn’t have to tour that long. New kids need to make badass music and not shit haha
the 80's were so much fun, then Nirvana showed up, and the fun went away
Depressing self absorbed party pooper music! That was grunge!! Very nihilistic and whiny! When grunge hit the scene i turned 30 years old, and i stopped listening to music.
What's fun with this sissy shit?
1985cactus
The women
@@kymrobinson7986 ?
lilililili lilililili....yep, and Nirvana brought great music with em....
I was born in the 60s and the era from then to the early 90s was the best decades to grow up in.
I still listen to this music to this day!
It will never die ! 😎🎸🇺🇸
I like Bon Jovi but I'd never say they were Heavy metal they're more straight up Rock n Roll
John Ross happy metal and hard rock
Bon Jovi is NOT Rock'n'Roll. Please do not use the term liberally.
@@duffbaker9554 hey Mr. Dictionary define Rock'n'Roll for us
@Lucenardo It certainly ain't Bon Jovi. And I ain't gonna define anything for you-do it yourself. (now that's R'n'R)
@@duffbaker9554 While Bon Jovi toured with metal bands, they never really went there. They certainly were a Rock & Roll band.
LOS 80,S LA DECADA DE ORO DEL HEAVY METAAAAALLLL¡¡¡¡¡ NUNCA MORIRAAAAAAA¡¡¡¡¡ LA MEJOR MUSICA DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOOOOOOOSSSSS¡¡¡¡¡
All things must come to the end. I'm glad I was part of this era in my twenties.thank you to all the big hair bands of the 80's.
I want my 80's back come everyone
Each decade has a renewal. So the '60s had the British invasion, girl groups & Motown, the '70s had prog, glam, early metal, punk and disco, '80s had New Wave, hair metal, early rap (with breakdancing) and Hi-NRG, '90s had grunge, gangsta rap, R&B/pop and Max Martin pop, 2000s had garage rock, punk-pop and emo, 2010s had EDM and trap and 2020 is currently a female rap resurgence. It's good to see changes in each decade. Makes things refreshing and always captures a mood and time in history. 😊
Bon Jovi was and is one of the band that endured from glam/pop rock through out the years!!! 2020
Man this brings back memories. I saw Motley C. back in my high school days maybe in 83 or 84 can't really remember. I saw Wasp I think opening for either Iron Maiden or Ozzy, just saw Iron M. again b/c my friend won 2 tickets to concert in San Antonio, and I also saw Judas Priest not too long ago. Man, brings back memories plus they guys are still jamming at thier age, its fucking great. Keep those videos coming.
