Goosebumps!! Makes me feel 16 years old again! (even though I am 38)
But.....the best GUITAR music came from the 70's/80's......hands down! Riffs are Riffs!
They should carry the song and not let the guitar be just "back ground noise" like the crap thats on the radio today!

I'm the same way with 70's Arena Rock/Metal...
Judas Priest,UFO,Rush,Richie Blackmore's Rainbow,Quicksilver,Heart,Amboy Dukes,Bowie,Joe Walsh/James Gang,Free,REO SW,Blackfoot,Frank Marino,New York Dolls,MSG,AC/DC,Lynard Skynard,Uriah Heep,GF Railroad,Yes,early Iron Maiden,Led Zeppelin,Sex Pistols,Sabbath,Van Halen's 1st,Def Leppard (up to "High & Dry")... Those were thee fucking days!!!
Too me,music started going downhill in the 80's... Just my opine. The George Lynch's and Warren DiMartini's of the 80's were more of a novelty IMO. They had technique;but no real sense of melody. Non-inspiring,and boring to listen to unless drunk! The only CD's that I listen to from that era are AngelWitch,Metallica,Tigers Of Pan Tang,TT Quick,Gary Moore,Ozzy w/Randy,and Accept.
I like a lot of the early 90's music... The Seattle scene really brought about a return of 70's style Rock IMO. When Nirvana,Sound Garden,and AIC came onto the scene,it was like a musical hurricane came through blew-away the trash! No more Warrant,Motley Crue,Dokken,Ratt,White Lion,Winger... The list goes on like a bad case of the shits! I hope these bands like - totally restrict their touring to "the valley" - for sure!
"The Pixies" song formula has been done to DEATH! It's still being used now.
Sound Garden reminded me so much of Zeppelin/Sabbath in their sound,and song arrangements... They were like a "drop-tuned" Led Zeppelin... Very cool! It didn't take long for the NY/LA based record companies to exploit them too. In the end,even these guys went commercial.

I don't think there will ever be a resurgence of the 80's bands... It would probably go over more as a comedy act than anything else? Can you imagine someone coming out on stage with "Welcome To The Jungle" hair? I was LMOA when saw it back in the 80's! When that era hit - I shaved my head! It was difficult finding people to jam with;but once I did - I didn't have to worry about one of my band-mates asking the dreaded question: Does anyone wanna play - "Pour Some Sugar On me"? That would be grounds for a serious ass-beating! Where the fuck is the "Stargazer" of today?goldwing68nv":2b3d8osk said:TheGainDeli":2b3d8osk said:Mailman1971":2b3d8osk said:Man....when I get behind my rig and start ripping out LAY IT DOWN and the Drummer kicks in.......

Yep,very cool times,indeed! i think it's the fact that everything that was "coming about" back then was new & fresh,so that blew ya away.now,EVERYTHING's been done to death! same thing goes for movies.it's all been done,just about every story plot has been thought up,so now we rely heavily on computer-generated graphics & special effects to make up for lacking storylines.dont get me wrong,some things generated with computer-aid are cool but that should never be at the "expense" of good story writing,imo
yes,sir! i'm just glad i can say that i grew up around the 70's & 80's music(and movies)...good times,man! cant be beat,either!!!

Hey the skanky metal chicks are still around!!! Go to an 80s show, they're still there. Of course now they're 40 and even more skanky. Ewwwwww
yeah,they're still around at the local shows.only problem is too many of em dont fit those old spandex pants so well.it's like they decided to drink those 20 gallons of "Aqua Net" instead of spraying it in their hair...
