[quote name='BobVbass' timestamp='1380170084' post='2221732'] You've obviously never heard Come out and play by Twisted Sister or The Last Command by WASP [/quote] That Twisted Sister album is admittedly terrible (the song title 'Be Chrool To Your Scuel' almost excuses it), but I agree with randythoades, The Last Command is good. Diff'rent strokes. Are you thinking of the album after that with Blackie dressed as a tiger on the cover, Inside The Electric Circus? That album makes Theatre Of Pain look like a masterpiece.

My opinion doesn't really count as I wasn't even born in the 80s, but as somewhat of a 80s music aficionado, I've always thought this was the ultimate example of what 80s bass overkill sounds like: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju_a2-Pve4g[/url]

I'm 20 and have been into Crue and Saxon since my early teens, they still both have a following among 'the youth'. Listen to them with tongue firmly in cheek and they are fun with a capital F, something that is harder and harder to find nowadays. Great riffs as well. I agree with the consensus of the thread, TFFL and SATD are classics, but apart from two or three tracks I think Theatre Of Pain is one of the worst albums ever made by a mainstream artist. Heroin/coke speedballs, having your lead singer charged with manslaughter and rushed songwriting don't bode well for a great album.

Apple Sourz Vomit Green custom finish? The guitarist is Nick Bowcott, the Guitar World writer. He's got Disney/cartoon stickers on his flying V, and an Anthrax t-shirt to show us where he stole the cliche from.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1379966144' post='2218925'] Potentially even more disturbing than Vince Neil and Motley Crue is my vivid and traumatic memory of Biff Byford and Saxon trying to crack the American market in the mid-80's with their own Hair Metal makeover . The image of those Barnsley' boys in skintight spandex with big poofs of tousled bleach blonde hair still gives me chills whenever I think about it . Take a look at the official video for " Ride Like The Wind" by Saxon on You Tube and I promise you , Biff's personal style in it will live with you for a long time to come .
