Show Some Love For Hair Metal

[Philly Q]

[size=toned down]There is a new DANGER DANGER album with Ted Poley coming September!!! [/size]

So I read the other day!  Was going to post about it but I assumed you knew already.  :lol: 

Sounds OK actually.  No Timmons though?

were/are danger danger any good? I know timmons is a bamf on guitar, but I only really know his solo stuff (which kicks ass).

First couple of albums were pretty good.

Ted poley sounded a bit like Jack Blades meets Jeff KEith from Tesla in some ways

OMG - NIGHT RANGER !!!!!

Dawn Patrol and Midnight Madness are essential listening in my book
I was addicted to them in late 1987

Yep, especially Dawn Patrol - I loved that so much, I kept buying the subsequent albums but they were always a bit disappointing.

thanks, i'll see if i can check some out. any particular songs (i'll youtube them)?

[FELINEGUITARS]

use spotify - much easier

[Matt77]

some fantastic guitar playing on "don't tell me you love me" as I recall

Another huge 80's rock fan here and I will have no bad things said about Winger. Pull is one of the finest rock albums there is.

I finally gave Spotify a try last night - very straightforward and easy to use :) .  They haven't got every piece of music you could possibly think of, by any means, but it's a good selection.

Well Danger Danger are badly underrepresented on Spotify (only the first Album)

The best songs and playing start on the second album "Screw It"

Then it's pretty consistently good albums such as "c--kroach" or "Gildersleves"

Here is a youtube clip of Andy + D2 Playing like a F**kin MONSTER in Japan.....

ENJOY!

For those of a certain age, I'm sure you'll remember this

classic, but I prefer the other one she did with the early Napalm Death footage plus Slayer (SOH era) interviews.

You're confusing the film with a BBC Arena documentary on "Heavy Metal" - it had Metallica at Hammersmith on the Justice tour + Slayer + Napalm.

Was good too.

ahh yeah, thats the one - some great footage.  Metallica in the Justice era were just phenominal - I was considered too young at 14 to see 'tallica at Newcastle City Hall (and Slayer on SOH tour too) :0(  I didn't let up though and got the see Anthrax not long after on the State f Euphoria tour :0)

[dave_mc]

thanks for the link, dave. EDIT: that kicks ass :D

I never got round to signing up for spotify. I'll probably get round to it at some point. :)

Cool clip, and the song title reminds me of another band I stupidly left off my list.  Vain!  Brilliant band.

i'll just do the resurrection shuffle on this thread :)

i'm gone for a couple of weeks and that's when you all confess your '80's rock love!  i knew about Feline and Dave, but the rest of you too?  great!  i only arrived near the end of it all, Def Leppard's Hysteria was my first album, closely followed by Appetite For Destruction and then WASP's Headless Children.  after that it all went a bit hairspray and glitter :)  i love Tigertailz, The Dogs D'Amour, Skid Row etc, but two of my all time favourite bands are Love/Hate and Great White.  i know, Great White were sanitised and nice while Love/Hate were a bunch of headcases, but i loved 'em both, and was lucky enough to see them both live.  i saw Britny Fox too, but we won't go into that...

and today i got tickets to see Tigertailz on their first irish show! it's in Ahoghil, which is very surreal, but i'm looking forward to it  8)
