QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jun 5 2014, 11:53 PM)  To be honest, Motley Crue can be included on the list:  The 80s were definitely a weird time - lots of great music appeared then, but in the same lots of bad music and weird examples of looks... In the 70's and 80s we - as fans - did not want our rock stars (or potential rock stars) to resemble in any way ourselves style wise. They had to be bigger than life, weird, fucked up looking, asexual, multi sexual, beautiful or really hideous, etc. *As long as they didn't look like real people. At the time those 'real' album covers - Crue, Scorpions, Poison, Stryper, etc. were barely commented on except from a few Christian 'mom' organizations. Yeah, we thought the Man-o-war covers were a little over the top. Grunge (early 90s) was the reaction to all that - "hey, these guys wear jeans, flannel shirts and hiking boots ... just like us". And on and on it goes ... This post has been edited by klasaine: Jun 6 2014, 04:08 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Some things are of their time. All I can say is ... you had to be there.
No value judgement one way or the other (I f'n hated bands like Poison - I still think they sucked) but trust me, in about 10 or 15 years ... you too will say that ('you had to be there') to someone. This post has been edited by klasaine: Jun 7 2014, 07:52 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Even though I don't 'love' bands like Limp Bizkit or Slip Knot I totally dig that they dress up and try to scare the shit out of your parents. For me, that's a big part of R&R! I don't want my stars (movie, music, sports, whatever) to be the 'everyman'. I want them to be STARS! Anyway that's my very 70s/80s aesthetic.

They definitely push some boundaries in their videos. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
