xpost: "Alone" is really the pinnacle of nu-Heart; it's the only thing they put out in the late 80s that stands up to their late 70s/early 80s awesomeness.

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

that mr. big song suxxx....more than words is good but was probably to blame for robbing the powerballad of its power....campfire singalong b.s. mostly after that. people got afraid to scale the heights

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

so glad i started this

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

Ha M@tt, Mr. Big is the #1 reason why I've been able to resist the siren call of this album!

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:35 (nineteen years ago)

i saw them open for Rush. billy sheehan played bass with a powerdrill!

i love him on the first DLR full length though...i never heard steeler his first band or i think he was in alcatrazz too, but that's more guitar mag type shit which is off topic.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

just to be the one to beeeeee with yooooooou

death to false power ballads

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

Oh man, Monster Ballads. Ratio of dudes-I-originally-thought-were-chicks vs dudes-that-were-obviously-dudes is like 10:1 on that.

word up! five man acoustical jam by tesla gets some blame too....that pissed me off at the time as well, esp. cuz i dug them when they were more rockin' like "modern day cowboy" and stuff.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

Was "Wind of Change" the Scorpions song with the emotional whistling?

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

yes

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

the death of communism was hell on hard rock

ts: the days when dudes could start bands called things like "I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness" vs the days when dudes could start bands called things like "Kix"

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

well i would almost certainly never eat a cereal called i love you but ive chosen darkness

"I'm Terribly Sorry, But I'm Going To Have To Ask You To Blow My Fuse"

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

I'll admit it. I mean I obviously have no shame I already admitted to ejaculating again on my own on this very thread. I still love "More Than Words". Even with it's shitty grammar ("more than words is all I ever needed you to show that you wouldn't have to say that you would give me a D, teach").

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

i love you but i've chosen the final countdown

"This Ain't A Scene, It's Bad Medicine"

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

i thought it would be the fun loving criminals thread that brought us together but i was wrong!

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

i remember a false metal ballad called 'phantom rider' by tora tora (off their album 'surprise attack'). note the missing 'tora'.

― botero, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:45 (nineteen years ago)

Wanted Dead Or His Name Is Alive

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

they were big around the same time as danger danger

― botero, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

yeah i remember them....that was sort of when i was beginning to wane on pop metal...seemed like it was on it's last legs....sort of the trixter/slaughter/dangerous toys/etc etc era.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

TRIXTER

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

did they have the midget?

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

aka the hard rock bushwick bill

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

i knew it was all over when this heretefore purist metal dude showed up to wood shop one afternoon wearing a trixter shirt with that awful cover art on it.

― botero, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

dan get Monster Ballads. theres a few songs to be skipped, but its totally awesome and uplifting and spiritual.

― artdamages, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

that's around the time when everyone i know started listening to cypress hill

― botero, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

i'll admit my knowledge of trixter only runs as deep as full color advertisements in circa-1989 d.c. comics

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

so i sort of group them together with straight-to-video cannonball run knock-offs and cool world

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:49 (nineteen years ago)

wind sof change is probably the pinnacle for me. my grandma had a tape where a native american group that she had heard at the MN Zoo covered Winds of Change.

― artdamages, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

two words: silent lucidity

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:51 (nineteen years ago)

Haha Dangerous Toys. Freshman year of hs, my guitar-shredder friend & I would go to the used cd store and buy whatever looked metal, and this was probably the worst one I ever got. It certainly didn't live up to this:

sometimes i look at the listings for all the shitty pop emo bands that play around here every weekend and wonder if a future generation's chuck eddy will write about them like our chuck wrote about kix

strongohulkington on Wednesday, March 21, 2007 4:13 AM (7 minutes ago)

uh oh, don't make me pitch you a thinkpiece on HelloGoodbye

― artdamages, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

jackyl!

― botero, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

yeah queensryche was one of the last real metal bands to blow up....empire was like the same time as nevermind, wasn't it?....in 91 everything is on life support....the whole pop metal thing has grown weak from within, except no one knows it yet....skid row's slave to the grind is the last hurrah, waterloo and then it's all over with....it's so fucking weird that queensryche ever got popular in retrospect....

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

Dude, that Dangerous Toys record rocked. HEY MAN I THINK I LIKE BEING SCARED.

Also rockin' for sixteen-year old PP: That Tora Tora album cover.

― Pleasant Plains, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:00 (nineteen years ago)

'scared' = one of the all-time great songs of that era, mostly because jason mcmaster didn't get all screechy

i couldn't handle tora tora at all, though.

ps i still have the trixter comic

― maura, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

Also rockin' for sixteen-year old PP

hehehehe

― latebloomer, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

i think the final nail in the coffin was 'the wild life' by slaughter, which i think debuted at #2 IIRC. it was in 1992, and i know 'nevermind' came out in '91 but i don't think it broke through until '92, probably right after the slaughter album.

― botero, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

a few years my brother worked at the movie theater in White Marsh and there was this car he saw in the parking lot every day, presumably belonging to an unidentified co-worker, that was just COVERED in Queensryche paraphenalia and bumper stickers. to this day we often ask each other: "Got 'Ryche?"

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

jason mcmaster

Wait, was he in nerdy tech-metal band WATCHTOWER?

It's scary that shit like this is still in my brain.
