Big riffs, enormous power chords, soaring choruses, laser beams, aliens, spaceships, apocalyptic themes, mullets, aviator sunglasses, primitive special effects, and a generous dose of cheesiness. All these ingredients combined equals awesomeness

It's funny to think that it's going to go back to this in like 40 years because it'll be cool again!

Wow, that computer game is some sophisticated stuff !!!
Gotta love that '80's guitar tone' ! You all know the one... very twangy, lots of chorus effect !  But has anyone else ever noticed that, in the 80's, all those cheesy pop ballads had really mean guitar solos with great tone ? What was that about !?

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Mar 10 2011, 11:57 AM) But has anyone else ever noticed that, in the 80's, all those cheesy pop ballads had really mean guitar solos with great tone ? What was that about !? How about they were all closet metalheads but realized there was more money in cheesy pop ballads?
