Title: Bring back the 80's... Post by: gnr_12 on April 10, 2006, 12:35:57 AM I just watched the movie Rockstar... havent seen it in a long time.. and truthfully i think if GNR (Axl) were to bring back a touch of the 80's hard rock from the AFD era.. it woould be a HUGE hit.. the tunes in this move are unreal.. Stand up and Shout.. We all die young.. great songs.. if Steel Dragon was a real band, (the singer BTW is amazing.. forget his name.. i remember he almost died tho) they woulda been huge in the 80's....
Basically people love going back in time.. absolutely love it.. maybe in some of Axls songs on the new albums he should or should have taken a step back to his roots and made a 80's type rock song... im possitive it would have been recieved very well.. back to when it was all about balls and mesmorizing solos.. After seeing rockstar, i wish music was still like that.. minus the makeup lol.. What u think? none of axls new songs seem to have balls.. there more.. soft rock type.. even IRS is really hard.. I need something to work out too.. and if u havent heard steel dragon i suggest u do.. Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: VRslash on April 10, 2006, 09:08:33 AM alot of 80's was good and alot of 80's was shit bad. i love alot of music from the 80's tho. bands like XYZ, Warrent, Def Leppard, Poison, motley crue, guns n roses exc. lots of the music is bad ass, people just dont like it cause it was a bunch of guys during the glam days. realy how much balls do you have to have to take on the media and the music world with the glam theme. i dont care if these guys war makeup, they would still kick your ass.

Post by: grabaraxl on April 10, 2006, 10:01:43 AM that singer is Mike Mitejevic (don't know if the last name is spelled correcty) from Steelheart. those are greta songs, and if they have been released in the 80's would've been great hits, but not now. it's dated as shit!
Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: Lord Kayoss on April 10, 2006, 10:18:25 AM Make-up or not, 80's rock music easily shatters the balls of all this faggot-ass emo/punk shit that's plaguing the industry today.
To quote SCOTT T. STERLING: "I'd trade a dozen of these knee-biting emo dorks for just one song that could hang with 'Photograph.'" I couldn't agree more. Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: JB9988 on April 10, 2006, 12:46:30 PM yea dude the new songs from axl kick ass cd sounds like it will be sweet when its all done. But all the aongs they have played or have been leaked sound fucking amazing. Like he said theres something for everyone on CD.
Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: madagas on April 10, 2006, 01:22:12 PM I'll bring them back if we can bring back The Replacements, Husker Du, the Pixies, the old U2 and Sonic Youth. Otherwise, leave them dead and buried. Outside of the new millenium-00's, the 80's were easily rocks worst decade. :-*
Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: Falcon on April 10, 2006, 01:30:19 PM I'll bring them back if we can bring back The Replacements, Husker Du, the Pixies, the old U2 and Sonic Youth. Otherwise, dead on arrival. Throw in some Bauhaus, Joy Division, Theatre of Hate and Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction and you're onto something. Otherwise as stated above, DOA. It's kind of funny how things work out, the early 90's GNR was actually more 80's than the AFD era GNR.... Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: ppbebe on April 10, 2006, 03:08:45 PM No thanks.
I guess I don't like most of the 80's hard rock. Balls? The word belongs in the hard rock of about '70, mid 70s punk and such. I think that's why GNR was far above the rest. Like a real flower that has bloomed out of season when there are only artificial ones around. I'll bring them back if we can bring back The Replacements, Husker Du, the Pixies, the old U2 and Sonic Youth. Otherwise, dead on arrival. Throw in some Bauhaus, Joy Division, Theatre of Hate and Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction I thought ian Curtis had died in the 70s but actually it was 1980, I checked. RIP Many of those bands were dead on arrival to me anyways. :hihi: Title: Re: Bring back the 80's...

But all the aongs they have played or have been leaked sound fucking amazing. Like he said theres something for everyone on CD. If I could have the 80s back (although I can't see it happening :hihi:) I couldn't care less about CD. Fuck think pass GnR for once, Besides you could go back and relive the hype of Appetite For Destruction hitting the world for the first time. And yeah I'd love to be back in the 80s, majority of music being (glam) rock. Image seeing all those rock bands on your tv/concert compared to all the hip hop/rap that populates it today. It was a grat era', yes even the glam was great :hihi: Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: JDA on April 10, 2006, 03:34:02 PM I think the new songs have a lot of balls. I love the 80's music but if I started dressing like that again please push me in front of a car.
Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: gnr_12 on April 10, 2006, 03:34:58 PM Motley Cure.. GNR.. and so on... how can anyone contest whether or not the 80's had balls?
Yeah the 70's had balls.. but GNR and Crue were different than the 70's bands.. Axl, and Vince, like Eminem today pushed the limits.. thats what i mean by balls.. not just the music. the guys were just so kick ass you couldnt fuck with them.. so contreversial.. Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: gnr_12 on April 10, 2006, 03:37:20 PM i donno the rolled up sleeves on the blazers was a pretty awesome style :hihi:.. lol evenm axl sported it.. lol
no the new songs do not have as much balls.. there .. a step back from old GNR style in terms of intesity or balls and in your face.. Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: destroier on April 10, 2006, 03:42:14 PM Please no. We don't need that again.
Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: gnr_12 on April 10, 2006, 03:44:14 PM haha fine :no: bad idea i guess lol

Post by: leesixxrose on April 10, 2006, 05:38:17 PM Steelheart ruled... That guy can fucking sing!!!! he was rumored to have tried out for VR also.... He was on Mythbusters and him and an opera singer were trying to break a glass with thier high voices... only Mike was able to do it... at the end of the program he showed the opera singer how to break the glasses with his voice... He did get hit in the head from a rafter that wasnt securely tied up at McNichols Arena in Denver CO... that was his last big show with Steelheart... he would have been a bad ass for VR.. him or Todd...

It was a grat era', yes even the glam was great :hihi: believe me, it was big for a few bands like bon jovi, def leppard, gn'r, motley crue, the post-permanent vacation aerosmith, poison, van halen (even with sammy) but radio and mtv were full of bullshit. it wasn't a "Only glam rock" (i prefer to call it hair metal, since glam rock to me is early david bowie, sweet, t-rex, slade and mott the hopple). just imagine an mtv with bands like new kids on the block instead of backstreet boys, mc hammer instead of jay z, vanilla ice instead of eminem, tiffany instead of britney spears, etc.... pop and dance music and rap (old name to hip hop) were always on, and you had your hard rock bands on headbangers ball, and the alternative stuff on 120 minutes. of course there was gn'r/bon jovi all over it, just like now you have some rock bands that have some heavy rotation (foo fighters, etc..). being an alternative music fan also, it's really better to watch tv now than in the 80's, with MTV2- 24 hours of cool new bands. and vh1's friday rock show is at least as better as any 80's mtv headbangers ball - last firday i tuned in and they were blasting Ratt's "i want a women", then "you could be mine", and a bunch of cool stuff like vain, great white, giant, tyketto and pretty boy floyd. i do feel lucky that i lived my teen days on the late 80's, but if i could turn back time, to me it would be to late 60's / early 70's and catch up with the greatest albuns made by zeppelin, stones, beatles, aerosmith, pink floyd, genesis, bowie. that was the shit! i love the 80's but i also think they were cocky. ok, time to put on some zz top on the stereo! Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: gnr_12 on April 10, 2006, 07:37:38 PM kinda weird.. everyone who was born in the 70's wishes they were a teen in the 70's, everyone who was born in the 80's wanted to be a teen in the 80s and i bet all the kinds who are born in the 90s will wanna be a teen in the 90s lol

Yesss!!! That dude's voice is amazing and he has great range! You know "She's Gone" by Steelheart? The live version? He goes higher than he does in the studio version... and for longer! :hihi: Sorry... just I got all excited that someone else knows about Steelheart! :hihi:To gnr_12... dude yes, Steel Dragon fucking rock! And YES Axl should bring back some 80s hard rock sounds... But then on the other hand... Nah. The 80s were great, but they should really be left where they are, to be admired and for people to look back with bittersweet nostalgia. There are days when I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and listen to all the good music and look at all the skinny rocker dudes in tight leather pants... :drool: But then there are days when I'm glad I live in the now... with the cures for previously uncurable diseases, houses being built better, music technology giving us better ways to improve the joy of listening... But I'll definitely tell you right now... men were sexier in the 80s... they preferred to go around wearing tight leather pants, huge-ass belts, cowboy boots, and bandanas with their hair LONG rather than too-short tracksuit bottoms tucked into socks, polo shirts, and Burberry caps pointed skyward atop a shaven head... *gets a most definite attack of sex-driven nostalgia* :hihi: Title: Re: Bring back the 80's...

Did you read my post about him breaking glass with his voice??? the dude is amazing. Title: Re: Bring back the 80's... Post by: Elrothiel on April 11, 2006, 09:06:41 AM Yesss!!!

Did you read my post about him breaking glass with his voice??? the dude is amazing. Due to my age (I'm only 19... :crying: ) I didn't actually physically hear him sing the song live. Unfortunately. (Today would be one of the days I wish I had a time machine... so I could go back and see it!) BUT ages ago I bought a copy of that album, and my BF said he had a live version of She's Gone... and I listened to it and I was totally astounded.... The song makes me cry anyway... but that version... I was in hysterics... :hihi: :embarrassed: :hihi: Title: Re: Bring back the 80's...
