whats up motherfuckin (insert you city here)? they never said we would make it outta 1987 alive, but here we are man, 19 motherfuckin and 88!!!! they also said that we would never sell any records. look at us now! doesnt matter if its 1988, 1998 or 2006! we will keep on rocking your balls off and sellin out arenas! there aint no county fairs in our futures! hell no!
anyway, i loaded up the ipod this morning with some choice hits from my formidable early teen years. thats right, i rocked out to some la guns, cinderella, winger, iron maiden, megadeth, anthrax, danzig, etc. damn that shit brought me back to simpler times, simpler things like dry humping, stealing parents cigarettes, prank calling unsuspecting victims and making them believe they just won a thousand bucks by claiming their favorite radio station was whatever they said, etc. but, damn i didnt make it through one of those records. i came close to making it through danzig’s debut, thats still pretty decent and oddly enough cinderella’s long cold winter is not that bad. regardless, going back to that stuff every now again is good for my soul and might be good for yours too – that is if you believe in that kinda stuff.
danzig – twist of cain
megadeth – wake up dead
ratt – i want a woman
winger – seventeen
cinderella – coming home
cinderella – shake me
anthrax – im the man

rock out with your cock out
Dude, consider my cock out and rocking. You and I must be about the same age because these are pretty much the exact same songs I was listening to circa my junior/senior year of high school.
I agree that Danzig’s debut holds up fairly well. And I think Megadeth’s “Peace Sells…” still has some legs. I maintain that “Wake Up Dead” has one of the most original and distinctive arrangements of any metal song ever. (Is it a song with vocals? Yes. No, wait — it’s an instrumental! No, wait, here come the vocals agin. Hey, what’s with the tempo shift!)
Ratt and Winger are tough to defend artistically, though there’s obviously some technical skill in both bands. Ratt were actually my favorite band throughout most of high school and the first band I ever saw in concert (Bon Jovi opened).
And then there’s Anthrax — a band that seemed so hard-ass and forward-thinking back in the day but, for some reason, strike me as really geeky and kinda boring now. They were, however, way ahead of the curve on the rap-rock thing, as you point out.
Anyhoo, thanks for posting and the opportunity to ramble.
i love me some hair band songs every once in a while.
Fuck yea! I like sticking some Warrant in the cd player every blue moon and rock out to “Love In Stereo”. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
You put bands like Megadeth and Iron Maiden (Greatest metal band ever) in with hair bands like Winger and Ratt… that is a big no no! That is like lumping Britney Spears with Renee Fleming because they are both female singers. It is hard enough to explain to people that there is a difference between hair metal and classic metal without a “fan” lumping them together. Iron Maiden, by the way is still selling millions of records to mostly 25 – 45 years of age family men and women and is now considered Art Rock or Classic Rock.
reality, the only reason i was lumping the likes of maiden, megadeth in with winger and ratt was because that was the stuff i listened to in my youth. unfortunately, during my youth i didnt have the critical wherewithal to distinguish between the metal hierarchies. i just knew what i liked and sadly my quality control filter didnt exist.
