Ok I just went through and as I'm reading all of your posts, I am laughing my butt off at all of these 80's band names and remembering (of course) when I was a teenager. My band, however, was Duran Duran and I was soooo in love with John Taylor. I look back at them and they looked like girls. LOL !!! Then it was the heavy metal bands like Ratt, Poison, Warrant, Guns-N-Roses, Quiet Riot, and Slaughter. Anyone laughing at those names???? Me too, but now you can see them on VH-1 when they do the "Whatever happened to ....?" When I was working in Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino we had an employee party and Quiet Riot played for us. How cool was that?? they were great and everytime I tell people that they are pretty impressed that this once famous band played for an employee party. We had fantastic parties thrown for us by the owner, Peter Morton, who also owns the cafes. Well now I don't know if he still does own them or not becuase mostly his ownership is the casino.
Ahhh yes, how we remember what it was like to be young again and wild and crazy. I hope all you young ones out there have some great memories like I do!!!

Hey, now! Don't knock Guns-N-Roses! lol "November Rain" *sigh*

I saw Matchbox 20, Everclear, & Lifehouse in concert earlier this year! FUN!!

I've also seen, LeeAnn Womack, Toby Keith, Tracy Lawrence, Rick Trevino, and another 'big-time' country guy, whose name I don't recall at the moment! Ughh...what is his name?! He sang, "Love is the rhythm of two hearts beatin', poundin' out a msg steady and true..." Ok guys, help me out...what's his name?! lol

[3-greys-and-a-mutt]

OMG KayAnn - 'Don't Take The Girl' is one of my all time favorite songs, too!!!!
...It makes me cry every time I hear "...and Johnny hit his knees and prayed..."

[zippy-kat]

Clay Walker?! Was that his name?!

[shais_mom]

Tim McGraw sings that.
Me THREE!!! I cry when they play that song!!
I also cry at "Don't Laugh at Me"
I saw "Trick Pony" (Pour Me) at our local fair Sat night. They put on an awesome show they will go FAR!! I have seen BlackHawk and the Kentucky HeadHunters twice. I started to see Confederate Railroad (Trashy Women) a couple weeks ago but they were rained out after 5 songs, but they came into the bar and partied with us!!!
LifeHouse is awesome-- Sick Cycle Carasoul (track 2) is an awesome song.
I grew up the the 80's too they rule. Loved Duran Duran, Loverboy, Guns and Roses, and Bon Jovi (he still rocks ~~~~sigh~~~)
Can you believe Michael Jackson has a new song out??? It sounds just like most of his old ones!!!!

Not to change the subject but how about 80's tv?? It was sooooo much better tho I do have my favorite shows now too.
But Dukes of Hazard, Dallas, Falcon Crest,Threes Company, Scooby Doo and the smurfs cartoons, were what I grew up on!!They were my favorites!!!

OMG! I am totally laughing my butt off! Of course I named all the geeky bands but I did grow up listening to U2, Duran Duran (LOVE THEM!), Poison, Guns-n-Roses, Whitesnake and so on.....all the 80's "hair bands"

Country music rocks! I saw Garth Brooks in concert.... anyone jealous of me now? haa haa haa... oh and get this, I saw the concert that he was playing in Minneapolis. My sister who lives in MN called me up one year and said she bought tickets for the concert and wanted to know if I could make it up there for my birthday for the concert. This was when I worked for America West and flew for free. Needless to say I was on the next plane up to MSP and saw the best concert ever! THEN, we always play around at the Mall of America before my flights home (the airport is right next to the mall) and it just so happens that Trisha Yearwood was putting on a small free concert in the Rotunda of the mall. SO I SAW HER AGAIN!! She opened for Garth the night before... THEN, Yes there is more.... Then, guess who makes a surprise appearance at the mall? GARTH BROOKS HIMSELF!!!! WOW! We freaked (but we knew he would show). We were on the top floor looking down on the concert and flew down the elevators just in time for Garth to rush by - I stood 3 feet from him!

Anyway, yes, Clay Walker sings my favorite song "two hearts beatin..." and so on and also my other fav "This Woman, This Man"

Tim McGraw Rocks too... don't take the girl is great. So, does she live or die at the end... the video tells me she lives... hmmmmmmmmmm

ok, since there is sooooooo much to respond to , i'm going to do this in short.

Loved NKOTB. admit to it yet to this day. i don't listen to them anymore.

I didn't go to my first real concert until i was 16. and to most of my friends, who i went to see was like "eeeeeeewwwwwwweeee!!! ...BUSH. but i tell you, i had the best time of my life!

Guns-N-Roses rock!!!! yes, most of the 80's bands did bite, but not as bad as 00's groups do now. spew!!!

*starts singing along to...* "two hearts pounding, sending out a message, ..."

Garth Brooks used to be one of my idols. even though i was heavily into rock and metal, i still loved his music so much. then a year or two ago i heard about him running out on his wife and daughter and that broke my heart.

omg! 80's cartoons!!!!! they were so awesome! you guys have to check out www.yesterdayland.com (omg! i just found another site too that had some awesome images of some old fave's but i don't know which link has them. try ....just spent who knows how long looking for it, but here's the other one. http://www.geocities.com/stina_monkey2/Cartoons.html )
