BRETT
I am 29 years
old and holding, I have a great family who has always supported
my Metal addiction (even thru all the ripped jeans,tattoos,earrings,and
what the hell were those stupid things I wore around my boots
days). The first Album I ever owned was The J. Geils Band
"Freezeframe" but I was listening to music of all kinds
at Birth. Some may say I live in the past.....but hey, if it
was fun why not try and keep it going. Who can forget the first
time they thought it was cool to scrawl F.T.W. on your school
desk, or the anticipation of Saturday night and Headbangers Ball,
and buying that brand new pair of Jeans only to get home and
rip them to shreds. Thats why I had the idea for this Page, you've
got your 50s nostalgia, your 60s hippies, and your 70s Baby boomers,
well I dont fit in to those categories, thats not when I grew
up! I grew up in the most kick ass Decade of all.....THE 80s.....so
Rock On! And when I listen to those songs I still get pumped
up, I cant describe the way this music makes me feel, but Im
betting theres alot more of you who feel the same....and this
Page is for You! As far as the most influential band of the 80s
in Metal, I have to agree with Jason...........MOTLEY FU***NG
CRUE!

JASON
Im 26 years old
and happily married to a woman that, although sometimes embarrassed,
supports my Metal addiction. I feel that Heavy Metal in the 80s
did to New wave what Punk did to Disco in the 70s, Kicked its
Ass! Therefore like punk and so many other great things it was
short lived, it achieved its purpose and moved on. I think it
was the most amazing thing while it was here and thats the way
I like to remember it. Who can forget Arena Rock and all the
great spectacles at every concert, remember the first time you
saw Tommy Lees kit tilt to an angle and exclaim "NO FU***IN
WAY!". The first album I owned was "Diver Down"
by (at the time) The Mighty Van Halen, but my sisters were always
jammin to Kiss, Priest, and all the great bands in the 70s, so
I guess i was destined to Metalhood. My choice for most influential
Band of the 80s is Motley Crue, they Kicked the 80s in the ass!
