Just ran across this old song that I used to play over and over again on my tape deck when I was an early teenager.


Kids and gents, experience some 80's MAGIC! Your life will never be the same again.

Oh yes, I remember this one! I think we should make this the "official 80's rock/metal thread" and bring some life back into some classics!

Here's one for ya from 1989, I was 16 then and this one really had the fist in the air!

Posted by: UncleSkillet Aug 3 2009, 03:04 AM

Alright, time for a bump. Lets get this 80's thread going.

One of my favorites when I first listened to them was this band. Classic 80's.

Enjoy

Yngwie needs to shoot himself if he gets any faster. He is not human hahaha good songs mates!

Posted by: skennington Aug 3 2009, 03:32 AM

Great songs Jeff! Here's another one of my all time favorites, born on date..1986..

Who would have thought that guitarist would become a dentist! That is a cool tune. Let me take you to somewhere around '88... I just love the guitar work in this tune and have posted it several times before..

The 80's RULED!!!!! I miss the days when I would listen to the radio and hear a cool guitar solo I had to learn.....even though back then I had NO CHANCE in hell at playing it......

I'm off to scour youtube for some cool vids........\m/\m/

Posted by: UncleSkillet Aug 3 2009, 04:01 AM

I LOVE VITO BRATTA.....Shame he got out of music.....

Posted by: skennington Aug 3 2009, 04:36 AM

You know Jason will find this thread and have a bunch of fogies setting around talking 80's metal in a comic strip.. Cool!

BRING BACK THE 80'S!!!..Off to bed..

I said I was done but I can't leave on a glam note when talking 80's metal...Here are the boys doing one of my fav's!

Posted by: UncleSkillet Aug 3 2009, 04:43 AM

Alda Nova, man that is going back!

This was one of the 1st songs a figured out by ear when I was around 13 - 14 years old.

I played it in front of my family with my Peavey amp and a Hondo 2 Les Paul copy with a pickup upgrade thanks to a friend of mine.

Posted by: MickeM Aug 3 2009, 09:24 AM

Aldo Nova, yes, I think he played all the instruments by him self on (some of his) his albums.

The video of this track is killer but it's sound is deactivated but I found a neat live recording
Y & T



Dokken, huge band! John Norum played with them for a while, original guitarist from Europe.

Terror on Elmstreet! This is soooooo good.



and of course

So true....


This is around early 90's but it's still cool as the old 80's!!

Posted by: skennington Aug 3 2009, 09:52 PM

Love the opening riff in this one...Live '89

Posted by: The Uncreator Aug 3 2009, 11:02 PM

I actually quite like this song, awesome riffs

Posted by: skennington Aug 4 2009, 03:22 AM

Getting away from metal a bit but still a rocking tune that I think we can all identify with and another one of my all time fav's from the 80's, around '84 I believe..

Posted by: Sensible Jones Aug 4 2009, 12:33 PM

You can't have an 80's thread without a bit of pure 'Cock Rock'!!!!!!

Posted by: Santiago Diaz Garces Aug 4 2009, 09:40 PM

I'm coming here to give you all the universal truth, the thing that makes all things make sense, the one, the only............

Posted by: skennington Aug 16 2009, 03:11 AM

83' I believe, remember this one? I was just starting to reach "that stage" in my life and loved this tune, as pretty much all the material off the album...

Posted by: Emir Hot Aug 16 2009, 11:28 AM

These are from 80's. I used to love this style and still makes me happy when I hear it

Posted by: Koopid Aug 16 2009, 12:07 PM

Accept! One of my alltime favorite bands, UDO rocks

I saw UDO this summer actually, he was still great!

Posted by: skennington Aug 16 2009, 04:35 PM

Firehouse! Now that brings back some memories. The band moved here to Charlotte, NC and I remember seeing them playing small clubs when they were called White Heat. Was actually two bands if I recall that merged and formed Firehouse.

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Aug 16 2009, 07:06 PM

Thank you for all this amazing videos! I had that Steleer album in cassette. It has a label that said "Yngwie at the age of 17". I'm amazed of the fact that Yngwie shows all the skills that made him famous as a guitar hero in this track. It's not imposible to play this at the age of 17 if you start to play the guitar young.. but he was inventing the neoclassical metal style. Killer!

Posted by: Emir Hot Aug 16 2009, 07:11 PM

Don't know about that history but I know that Firehouse was on charts and very very popular band. I still enjoy their great music

Posted by: Santiago Diaz Garces Aug 18 2009, 02:37 AM

When I was young, I was terribly metalhead who hated those glam and hard rock bands. Now I love them!!. It's strange how it works, isn't it?

Posted by: UncleSkillet Aug 29 2009, 04:02 AM

OK, this video is just a few years before the 80's but this band still had a huge impact back then on Rock!

I thought this was a good find



Sorry And another!



Well the Wheel in the Sky kicks butt right?

Posted by: skennington Aug 29 2009, 04:36 AM

Awesome memories there Jeff! Let me take you back with this one...

Posted by: UncleSkillet Aug 29 2009, 05:33 AM

Man that does bring back some memories bro!

Being a big Red Neck from these parts this became one of my favorites.



Enjoy, Good Night

Well maybe one more, but that's it!



This one means a lot to me.

Sorry for another post but this was one of my favorites and it took a while to find a good clip, Enjoy!

Posted by: JamesT Aug 29 2009, 07:08 AM

Does anybody remember these guys?...
It's a little pre-80s, but well,...

Posted by: Staffy Aug 29 2009, 07:49 AM

This is a cool thread! I've been round the hard rock scene since I got my first record (actually it was a tape that mother gave me when we was on holiday, Deep Purple, Made In Japan... Yeah, Im THAT old...*lol*)
Anyway, all of us had heard Deep Purple, but I'm not sure that the younger players remember this guy.
He sure had a lot off impact to players that came after him, like Yngwie & the others. In the beginning of the eighties there was Van Halen, Gary Moore, Michael Schenker, Rainbow and maybe a couple of others. Then around 83/84 a new wave of hard-rock came that went out into metal instead. At least as I remember it.

The record that has a huge impact on me from that time was "Assault Attack", which I still have, but probably is worn out...... Michael Schenker was (and is) a great melodic player and was a member of UFO in the seventies before forming his own band with Gary Barden & Cozy Powell from Rainbow. Enjoy !

Love that acoustic part!

Posted by: skennington Aug 29 2009, 02:54 PM

Awesome stuff guys!! Heard this one this morning on the way back from getting breakfast, from 78 or 79 I believe...This one always gets me going!

Posted by: UncleSkillet Sep 13 2009, 05:45 AM

It's time to bump this thread!

So, here you go!

Posted by: UncleSkillet Sep 13 2009, 06:26 AM

And another!

And another one... I've always thought this band was a little underrated, certainly not the best but I felt they were better than they got credit for.
