I am sure that if I were 13 I would have bought H.I.M.'s CD and loved it and learned all the lyrics. After all, I DID do that with Def Leppard's Pyromania.

H.I.M. is great when you're 13. I just don't get how people who are older than that listen to it and go "Yeah man, this music speaks to my soul. This is how I love." PS I'm so jealous that you saw Placebo.

Def Leppard? Well, there are greater sins. You could have been into Poison or Whitesnake.

Or *shudder* Van Halen.

LONG LIVE ROCK'N'ROLL you betcha!

....There were people who DIDN'T do that?

Ahahaha I misremembered it! But I love the bit in the video where he puts the sword on the neon-green bad special effect table and it turns into A GUITAR!

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

Hey, Def Leppard was good! And when they were young the guys were HOTT!

POISON AND WHITESNAKE, EW. They really weren't the same at all. Leppard was early banger-dom. Poison was a joke band, as was Whitesnake (they were DEEP PURPLE first, come on, and the only reason they got a push was the Tawny Kitaen videos). Van Halen was never metal or banging.

....man it is scary how I still remember all this shit.

I owned 1984, I did, and I was so sick of the cutesey duckies and bunnies that everyone was embroidering on their pillows in 8th grade Home Ec that I did a Van Halen logo on the front and a cobra on the back.

AND I USED TO THINK THAT WAS SO COOL

*hangs head in shame*

I do believe ashbet had elaborate plans on how she was gonna marry Joe Elliott.

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

If I could have given you the Placebo set I would have because really they AREN'T THAT GOOD. And I can only take so much of Brian Molko's whine.

[flewellyn.livejournal.com]

Tawny Kitaen? I feel like I should know the name, but...I was a child during the 80s.

[flewellyn.livejournal.com]

Well, that's fair. At least David Lee Roth was still the lead singer then.

Sammy Hagar is a blasphemous abomination...

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Couldn't agree with you more.

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

THAT PART ISN'T COOL ANYMORE?

//cries and cries

love BITES love BLEEDS

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

DIDN'T WE ALL.

actually um at the time um you know Phil Collen? The guy with the short blonde hair? Yeah um.

HOTT. //facepalm

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Our 13-year-old selves will always think it's cool.

Our getting-too-old-for-this selves have to admit it's kinda cheesy.

since you were obviously watching MTV round-the-clock the same years i was, do you still harbor a deep affection for "Don't Pay The Ferryman?"

in this video he is like THREE THOUSAND YEARS OLDER than her

//raises eyebrow Well I was born in 1970 myself, but....

//sighs

Words cannot express how much I HATEHATEHATE this video.

They were okay, but I was saving myself for David Bowie. Although I also had it in my head that I was willing to exchange sexual favors for Adam Ant's hussar's jacket.

I oughta find a pattern one of these days and just sew myself one.

put on your red shoes and dance the blues

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

OMFG DAVID BOWIE

oh I remember my stepsister and I rockin' out to "Modern Love" in her little compact driving around in the Bay Area. sigh. And "Let's Dance"! Oh that's always been one of my songs.

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

((high-fives back))

are you as terrified as I am by the return of '80s clothes we shouldn't have worn the FIRST time around? No way am I repeating the whole denim mini over lace-edged leggings look, NO NO NO.
