Crazy to think it was almost Slash instead of CC on guitar for Poison! There were apparently so many mixes, formations, break ups, and overall mix and matching between the LA rock scene in the 80's that a lot of various people played with one another in other bands, or were nearly a part of another band. With Motely Crue, Poison, Guns N Roses, LA Guns, and apparently a variety of other well known, and not so well known bands ....they all knew each other and played at various times with different lineups.
@@MaximusX67 Nikki Sixx of the Crüe and Izzy Stradlin of GNR were in the same band at one point. Makes it funnier how Izzy and Vince Neil got into a scuffle later on
Thanks to my father starting me as an infant I'm now 22 years old and know almost know every song of every 80s hair bands. I can proudly say I wish I was a teen in the 80s. This is real music.
That's parenting done right!! I'm 34. My parents had a pretty bitching vinyl collection. I learned everything from Buddy Holly, Richie Vallens, The Big Bopper, Frank Sinatra, Hanoi Rocks, Jim Croce, CSN&Y, Cream, GNR, Warrant, Tesla, The Outfield, Reo Speedwagon, REM, The Police, OZZY, and all of the rest of the 80's. Thanks to my parents, and stuff I've discovered on my own, I've got over 30,000 songs on my playlists. I love all music, but the 80's is definitely my go to.
Love the 80's, greatest decade in terms of musical genius and over the top performances. I grew up in the 80's, graduated in '85 and I too wish that decade never ended. The 90's signaled the end of the hair bands and Heavy Metal in general.
I'm a millennial born in 81 and I think the 80s were the best decade and I'm sure many of my generation would agree, I have great memories and I being so young of course I wished I was an adult to go through that era but now I think it was great to see the 80s with a fresh view
I was born on 97 sadly... I missed that era... But I can still listen to the legends which makes me a little more happy... I love that era's music.... My uncles introduced me to this stuff and I fell in love immediately... I always watch videos of concerts and people enjoying it and I could only wish and long to experience it... I know I won't ever be able to... But nevertheless... I love this music
There was an energy to the music, the culture, the country. You didn't text or tictoc anyone, you went to their house, you stood out in the street, you talked and laughed and lived until 2 in the morning. It was real, it was face to face. Poison was part of that, and many more
I think one thing people forget, is that, their precious technology didn't exist then. It was much rougher, but people were much more reasonable and humane.
For all the flack that hairmetal bands got back in the day, Poison, Warrant, Skid Row, White Lion and others made some great music. What a great time to be alive. I miss those days but thankful I had them.
That's me at 24 seconds...in the middle back peeking my 21 year old head through the front row of the crowd. Video shot in Louisville, KY...I had front row, center stage tix. I'm 44 now...been awhile but I remember them shooting the concert footage that night.
Damm in Louisville ky not far from we're I'm at. man that had to be cool, yea ol poison like the rest of the hair bands back in the late 80s kicked ass.
To me Flesh and Bloods one of those very rare albums you can play start to finish and theirs no weak or record fillers its very solid, very deep, and damn sure well written and played record I've never not listened to it and played to it since it was released
Hearts of fire Streets of stone Modern warriors Saddle iron horses of chrome Taste the wild Lick the wind Like something they never saw before Their jaws dropping to the floor Steel made of soul and sin Rebels born without a care (And the day he listens) Only to fly where eagles dare And the night she whispers Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun (Ride the wind) (Never coming back again) Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun Painted flesh Loyalty Humble pride Just as far as the eye can see Stories told Two old friends Of battle scars and lonely bars And nights the rain wouldn't end Here's to withered eyes wearing gypsy smiles (And the day he listens) Here's to lovely ladies and a million miles And the night she whispers Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun (Ride the wind) (Never coming back again) Ride the wind I'm still the bravest soul in sin Burning till the night is done Of all the truths and lies And stories of riders in the sky They say only the bravest try Where eagles and angels dare to fly Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun (Ride the wind) (Never coming back again) Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun Ride the wind Never coming back again Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
glad to hear that, yes that's the ftrm belief of many of us. much better music writing the whole thing. i mostly listen stuff from back in the day. no offense it is refreshing to hear that from perspective of this generation. i have very wide range, a lot of music i like goes all wayback to fifties and sixties. whole different world, swhole different time. follow yer heart wildthang, you'llfind your groove. on final note think that most, not all. but most of "music" today sucks. it's synthesized pulled sample for other songs some of these "artists" don't even know how to play any instrument.....sad. just waned to reach out and say you're not alone. ours really was a rockin era
If you werent there in the 80s you will never understand how awesome it was. Nothing after it even comes close accept maybe the early 90s up to like 92.
A lot of people laugh when you mention Hair Bands. Bands like Poison, Ratt, etc, had amazing talent. Not to mention that they were actually playing as a band & playing instruments, not like now. The present music scene is pathetic. \M/etal Rules!!!
"Hair Bands" or "Glam Rock" are terrible adjectives for these amazing bands, they combined Heavy metal + Hard Rock + a little bit of punk and pop, they are great musicians, trained vocalists and wrote some of the best songs of the 80´s and part of the 90´s, people that laugh are people with no musical knowledge probably listening to Regueton today!
Growing up I wished I’d experienced the 60’s, now I know, the 80’s and 90’s were the real time to grow up! I’d love to go back and do it all over again just like I did the first time. I wouldn’t change anything.
I was not born in the 80s but I got a story about this song so when I was in middle school I use to get bullied a lot and I remember one day coming home crying and the tv was on with this song and i was listing, to this song and something told me everything gonna be alright, and man that feeling did come true and now I'm living my best life.
Finally, after 2+ years and multiple reschedules, we caught 'em in Hershey, PA. Of course, Mother Nature wanted to make her presence known. Wicked storm rolled in and, fortunately, kept on rollin'. One hour delay, standing with the rest of the herd. All soaked to the bone. But it fired off and no one gave a flip about their soggy asses. Poison delivered with DL a close 2nd. Vince Neil didn't bring it(my opinion,only). Great concert, no question.
***** Hey Danny !! I´m Always seeing you at the comments of my favorite bands as well haha We must be related somehow lol we have the same taste for music haha Keep rocking my friend :)
@@shaftlamer As a 14 year old, 80s glam rock, and 70s rock and roll and soft rock is a lot better way to raise a kid on than you're modern pop bullshit.
Charlie Ritchie Try considering their superior composition and CCs highly technical playing instead of "the musicality aspect." No serious musician would tell you today's live performances are harder to pull off than the hair metal performances of the 80s and early 90s. These bands were phenomenal musicians that poured their hearts into their music.
The 80s were.... truly.... awesome. I lived it. First half high school, last half college. I was an old school head banger. Back when you were a geek if your hair didn't touch your shoulders. But, I also remember the 70s. That's when as a kid I first started listening to music. When I was first learning to play the guitar and drums. Around third grade. I am an 80s guy, but I have to give the 70s it's dues. It was probably the greatest musical era. Think of all that was going on in the 70s. Started with the 60s still present. The Doors LA Woman.... one of my favorite albums. Then you had, Motown, Punk, Disco, Folk (Think guys like Jim Croce and Gordan Lightfoot), Pop (when it was great), Country was still rolling along (Think about Kenny Rogers, and Alabama), and ROCK. Real Rock. Arena Rock.... Sabbath, Zepplin, Motorhead, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Queen, AC/DC and so many more that set the stage for the 80s. The 70s were a great time to be alive. War was over and people were returning to just living their lives and enjoying it no matter what was happening in the world. It was the age of getting wild and letting it "all hang out." Hell, even the older crowd was partying with a bit of "who cares" attitude (Swinging and Snorting). This carried over into the 80s as the new decade defined itself, but the two are undoubtedly linked together. The 50s were a cultural revolution. When some people dared to break away and be different. Elvis set it all off, and the 50s had to be great. The 60s expanded on this early on, and the experiences of many in the 50s (The Beats) expanded as America faced obstacles. The 60s changed music and culture (The Counter Culture) like no other time in America. I can't say the 60s had to be all fun (the man was forever on your ass and oh, you could be drafted and shipped off to jungle to die halfway around the world), but they were fighting to make it so, even as a war raged on and they were at odds with much of society. If you lived through the 60s as an American youth, you had to be alive. and feel it every moment. More so than any time in the post WWII era. The music certainly reflected this. New ideas of how and what music should be. And so much exploration by bands. The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors, even the Beach Boys (Pet Sounds). They were all on a quest to revolutionize the culture of the youth, and they did. This change would resonate for years in the 70s and 80s. Then came the 90s. I was a grad student. The first time I saw Nirvana on MTv, I thought.... WTF? They looked like they had crawled out of the gutter... I mean literally. Long hair is one thing, but unwashed.... ungroomed long hair? Yuck. Just a GRUNGY lot you wouldn't really want to party with. The music was novel as well. Not particularly skilled or complex. Simple cords, over and over and over It did have a rawness, and I came to appreciate that on a certain level. If nothing else, it still had some soul. The times were changing, and the music reflected that. The early 90s were pretty bleak for the youth of America. Economically it was a hard time to be getting out of college or trying to start out on your own from high school. Somehow, songs like "Nothing but a Good Time" just weren't working at that moment when in reality, good times were getting hard to come by. It was too depressing of a time, and grunge reflected that. But it was just too damn depressing on top of an already too depressing world around you. I've always said that this is why grunge faded quickly. At some point.... relatively quickly.... we wanted to stop listening and do what Bobby McFarren implored us to do a few years earlier.... Don't worry, Be Happy. Music seemed to.... fizzle. There were tunes, but you just knew none of it was going to stick around. The last half of the 90s had a spark here and there (I rather liked Fuel and even Creed for example), but it wasn't the same as what had been the 80s and before. When did I know it was over? Two events. I got into my car and turned on the radio to hear.... Hanson.... M'Bop.... some kind of crap. I sat there a bit stunned and thought, "Yeah, were going downhill fast." Then a short time later, I'm in a discount store just walking through when I saw a huge promotion for some teenie-bopper in pink sitting with her knees mashed together. Some little thing called Brittney Spears. Seemed beyond lame. What artist with a name like Brittney Spears was going places? Some cute LITTLE girl named Brittany Spears was going to be the new thing? The new savior of music? WTF? I don't care what kind of cute you are or what kind of T&A you throw as you get older, it ain't making for great music or great culture. Bubble Gum Pop at best..... chew on it a while, then spit it out. At least we had Madonna, Lita Ford.... mmmm, Lita Ford. It was obvious it was fabricated for marketing. It was obvious that things were over. When she became a sensation.... bringing others like her along for the ride, it was officially over. Music from that point on really just as we said in the 80s, SUCKED. Marketing before music. Sadly, it worked. For the most point, it's only gotten worse (*COUGH* Swift *COUGH*). Yeah we're swiftly heading further down into the abyss. The 50s were the revolution.... the spark. The 60s expanded on all that the 50s delivered, By the 70s, music and American youth culture were hitting their strides. The 80s were.... simply awesome (That's why being born in the late 60s was the best.... you got a great dose of both the 70s and 80s; respect to those that got the same with the 50s and 60s). The early 90s.... that was a death rattle, a last gasp before going under water. After that.... a void. The youth of today live in the void, not knowing it's full of nothingness. It's all most of them have ever known, so how could they know what those of us that came earlier do? I wish I could give it to them if only for a short time. Then again, how could they ever come back and be happy in the void? There is good music out there, but you may find yourself digging a lot to find it, and Spotify has a long way to go to really get to know me. Maybe the world will correct itself. I think all of us hold out that hope. The world moves like that. I hope I see it someday. Hey, as long Mick Jagger is still in the game, it ain't truly over yet.
Just came back from a motorbike ride 'gentlemen's ride' today. Was awesome. This Song always stuck with me. I hear it in my head sometimes when i ride 😁👍 glory days
Darrell, this is forever your song now bro. We rode the wind, and tried where only the angels dared to fly. You've been with them for over 20 years now and I know, you've kept me from joining you too many times since then.,
That cop car scene where they are locking CC up...is a reenactment of him getting into trouble the night before in Louisville, KY...I was right there by that cop car when they were filming that part...it goes by so fast i have never been able to find me and my buddy...my first concert ever...CC signed a few autographs and was done...I looked like a 15 year old groupie...I ran all the way up to him right before he was stepping on the bus and asked him to please sign one more and he signed my ticket stub...I started to walk away and i could see Bobby Dall being carried out by to body guards...would of tried to get his autograph but he couldn't walk to good that night...I will say he is one tall person...CC was shorter than i imagined.....Poison and Warrant....good times and great show.....
Sigh... greatest times ever!!! My son's first concert was at 10 yo and we took him to see Poison and Def Leppard followed the next weekend with Motley Crue...he is now 26...and fronts his own rock band...ol little did I know lol
Not really. I would say around 2004 it got a resurgence when some of these bands were back at arena tours instead of clubs like in the 90s. It has fairly been level since it seems .
I got to meet Bret last night backstage at a solo gig, what a cool dude... I knew he would be. Been a fan since I was 7 and got to meet Bret with my 7 year old son with me, great memory!
I met Rikki Rocket in 1994 in Woodland Hills, Ca. I was a 17 year old working at Blockbuster Video. He had no idea that I was a freaking superfan. SOOOO down to earth. Hands down the nicest famous person I've ever met.
I can still remember the first time I heard this song in the Summer of 90' can't believe 30 plus years have gone by so quick😪 All I can say to the youngins today is take plenty of pictures and video of your youth because it goes by in a blink of an eye
+Josh Armoogam One minor detail here. This single(and album) was released in 1990(single in 1991) but still had the 80's vibe. I was a 1st year college student when this was released and that was the 1990-91 academic year.
Even though the Album was released in 1990 there is a strong chance it was recorded in 1989 as well as parts of 1990 and the 1st year or 2 of a new decade almost ALWAYS sound like the last year of the previous decade as albums for that frame were recorded in the previous year.
This music takes me back to the memories of my youth. Those memories are grand, indeed. Everything seemed to make sense back then. Cassette tapes, radio, MTV, and cruising town. Not a worry in the world! Nostalgia is a wound that never heals!
Im 53 and im instantly transported back to beimg 18 yrs old and loving this song 🤘🏼 HERE'S TO WEATHERED EYES AND GYPSY SMILES!!! Great line then and greater now that I have weathered eyes 👀
There may be many, many decades, but none like the 80s, with its good and bad things, that decade is unique in the history of humanity, and the music of that decade is an example of this.
Being born in the 80s I didn't get to be a single man then but I did get to be a kid and it was awesome. The classic TV heroes, the nintendo games, and of course the music. I grew up listening to Journey, Foreigner, Eagles, Bon Jovi and so much more. The 1980s were a great time to be a kid and clearly a great time to be a single man. I had to wait til the mid 2000s for my bachelor life.
Remember in the 80 we thought they weren't hard enough Saxon wasp maiden judas metal church Now I love this Band I'm old and all 80s bands help my soul cc help Dime bag didn't know this much love poison
Great song...........takes me right back down " Memory Lane "..........22 years old.......my whole life ahead of me.............I`m 55 now.............where did all that time go..........🤔
Saw these guys live at the Stadium Tour with my dad because he surprised me with tickets after he said we'd be sitting in the parking lot listening to them.. this was on 8/28 BEST THING EVER
