Heroes from the 80s

[EC]

I saw Squid and the Whale recently, and aside from how incredible it is, it got me all thinking back to the 80s, and the icons we had.  So this is the place, folks and cousins and hands and girls:

ahhhhh just kiddin'.  I'm amazed at our different choice, John.  Mind you, my metal phase didn't start until the later 80s.  You're a lot older than me, so our tastes would have been different.

Oh no!!  I was only trying to be really hysterical, and instead I made you cry.  I was being ironic because a) you're like three years older than me, and b) you have such hardcore icons, and I have such weak ones.  

Besides, older is better.  It is.  Fo real. :)

Haha, no eighties nostalgia here.
I didn't even have to really undergo that period.
So, younger is better  :)

Though I wouldn't have minded sixties & seventies.

Oh yeah



They used to be "cool"  :D

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

so did these guys...

and how about:



aw shit, now I'm humming "when the heart rules the mind"  ;)

Who are they?

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

the first one is White Lion, that onair travesty responsible for the lone hit "Wait" in about 1988, at the near crest of hair metal maddness, and the second one is GTR, a "supergroup" of Steve Hackett and Steve Howe, of Genesis and Yes, respectively.

BTW:  GTR's lead singer's name was the greatest single performer name of all time:

Max Bacon

O man, I've changed my opinion totally, those were the days!

"Max Bacon of the band GTR, notorious for their explicit sexual themes and implicit satanical messages, arrested while speeding through LA naked and high on cocaine"

I can see the headlines...

Oh yeah speaking of cocaine, eighties Ozzy is classic. The Blizzard Of Ozz, Diary Of A Madman, his sidekick Randy Rhoads...  8)
