Are you still an 80's hair metal rocker at heart?

Asked by Flubber (12points) April 18th, 2008

I miss how fun concerts used to be. I have been to many concerts of many types over the years but they just don’t stack up to a good heavy metal concert like back in the 80’s. Now a days you have to act mature at a concert. Back in the day you were a poser, a rocker, you had fun, you got dressed up, you were pumped up! you rocked. Now you call co-worker who could give a ratt’s ass just to let someone know you went to a Dave Matthews concert last night and stood there like a sweet potato…

I don’t know who this Dave guy is but I saw Motörhead not that long ago.
So I guess that means F———-CK yeah!

I never was an 80s hair metal rocker. I was born in 87. But I love hip hop shows. =D
People get crazy at some Bay Area (“Yay Area”) shows. Really damn hyphy.
I went to a reggae gig last Wednesday, too. That was… an experience.
In high school, I had some punk rock friends who I went to shows with. We were frequently in the crowd at Whiskey Rebels shows.

I still dig on some old Crue and old Priest but I was never that much of a fan anyway. I was more of your Black Flag, DK, Gas Huffer, Melvins fan. I still love Motorhead, and some single songs from the old hair bands…
Too fast for love still makes me wanna break sh1t and f*ck on the floor in a pile of cigarettes.

For the record, I was just using Dave Mattews as an example. I know who he is and is talented for sure but not my thing. I want to rock!!!! Whitesnake! Dokken! Ratt! I love 60’s and 70’s rock too but I was a teen in the metal years and have many cool memories…

I at least tolerated Dave Matthews until I realized that EVERY frat guy likes him. Why is this? I should post it. This really is an enigma to my friends and I.
I just realized Motörhead isn’t really hair metal, but whatever, I’m a fan of Van Halen (not to be confused with Van Hagar).
