vh-1 is doing an I love the 80's show

whats your memory of the 80's or lack there of

MY HAIR!! I actually had a mohawk back then and miss it dearly. 4 inches wide, 4 inches high (brush style) and a tail that went to the middle of my back.
Leather/Spikes
No metal detectors in school.
The MUSIC!!! ALL OF IT
Bandananas tied down my entire left side, legs and arms
NEON ANYTHING!!
The haistyles the girls wore, and their make up. I always get turned on when watching shows about the 80s, the girls were just so damned sexy. Of course it could be that i was pumped up on vicous hormones through the entire decade.............

spaz

Big Hair

Kylie Minogue singing "Locomotion"

Actually I'm with you spazlabz, I miss the music too!!

Arthur the Movie

Searching for somewhere that actually made a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster
or at least had a piece of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick handy
to hit me with.

You know I miss the 80's *sniff*

:)

Headbanger's Ball

REAL Mtv (when they actually showed videos!)

Guys with long hair and ripped up jeans

I'm with Spaz - the music! ALL OF IT!!

Cars that had power and sounded good were cooler than cars that looked pretty and glowed ( :rolleyes: )

You had a problem with someone, you met 'em in the parking lot and beat the shit out of each other with your fists, or raced 'em with your car - fuck this "let's shoot everyone we see" shit

...all kinds of stuff. I miss the 80's too.

Both of you girls are goddesses as far as I am concerned.
Fist fights and V8's!!!!
I actually TELL my kids about music videos and records!
they give me a blank stare when i say 45s
I wanna time travel back to the 80s
some one gimme a delorean NOW!!
LOL
spaz
feeling nastalgic now

Child of the 80's no doubt.. from those dorky junior high years to my waver high school turn around. Parachute pants, Beastie Boys, Van Halen, Depeche Mode, Vans, skate boarding, Camaros & RX-7's... Breakfast Club, Say Anything, Nightmare On Elm Street, arcades, skating rinks, MTV first broadcast, those hilarious Michael Jackson jackets... yeah I miss the 80's.

i'm telling 'yah, i just spent a couple weeks worth of spare time putting together - http://www.live365.com/stations/bbwjayne - my own all 80's 'net radio station. I listened to just about every song ever to make it within the top ten in either the US or the UK. Conclusion - i love so much of the music. The 80's metal show is particuarly fun to do :)

Woot!!

I still love guys with long hair !! ( not as many of them round these days though ) :D

Yep the Cars ..Can't beat a nice sounding V8 *sigh*

Aaahhh yes you could negotiate world peace ( in your part of it at least ) with your knuckles or a lumpy V8 with a 650 Holley and extracters :awinky:


You know Looking back - Life seemed simpler then..

"your a hooooooker?

and i just thought i was doing well"

:D

Metallica

Fergie bows - White leather fringed cowboy boots - Big gold earrings - Multiple belts - Coloured tights - Thin Black Leather Ties - BMX Bikes -

Do I sound like a fashion victim yet ?

:unsure:

:unsure: :blink:

The 80's -
When Sex, Drug and Rock-n-Roll was Sex, Drug and Rock-n-Roll - Not Aids, Crack and Techno

Hammerjacks (best rock club on the East Coast - saw lots of hair bands there and hot girls were there wanting to hook up with long hair glam fags)

nothing succeeded like excess

The Reagan Years

Shopping at Rave for my glam fag clothes

Girls coming over to do my makeup before I went out

When Poison sang "Talk Dirty to Me" the girls said "I Want Action" and I was "Look what the Cat Dragged in"

When Guns-n-Roses was a new band

Whenever W.A.S.P.'s "Blind in Texas" came on the radio we stopped whatever we were doing and went out and got stinking drunk - sometimes for days

Motley Crue summed it up with "Girls, Girls, Girls" - We had already "Shout at the Devil"

Spandex

Billy Idol

Tons and tons of hair spray, then more hair spray

I'm forgetting a lot - because if you lived through the 80's - you had to forgot some of it

Adam Ant -
"We don't follow fashion
That'd be a joke
You know were going to set them
So everyone can take notes"

Here's one. :inlove: I think I'm more stuck in the 70's than the '80s though B)

One of my best memories of the 80's was seeing The Angels Last Concert at Cloudland in Brisbane.

( The Angels were Australia's #1 80's Headbanging group and Cloudland was a ballroom set high on a hillover looking Teneriffe in Brisbane, remarkable because of its suspended floor...even more remarkable it managed to survive a sold out crowd of teenage headbangers !! )

:yowsa:

You clean up real purty Vick... :nyanya:

Here's one. :inlove: I think I'm more stuck in the 70's than the '80s though B)[/b][/quote]

That means we still have the 80's to look forward to!!

:okthumb:

The Cult

LA Guns and the whole Electric Gypsy look and attitude


Yeah I cleaned up nicely ah ha ha ha ha

It's the end, the end of the 70's
It's the end, the end of the century

Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin' so no one can see
We need change, we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh

Ginormous hair LOL

Leather Jackets with fringes

Platinum Blond Hair

Glam Rock - boys wearing more makeup then girls

The music!!!

High heels and jeans

The Breakfast Club - 16 Candles - Ferris Bullers Day Off - Weird Science

Oh the memories LOL

:rokk:

Definately leg warmers

Pink hair

high tops with skirts and shorts

Don't forget about those "feather" clips :P

B52's

Break Dancing

Zippered clothes and parachute pants

Oh, and the infamous Millie Vanillie!

and all the fashions inspired by Madonna

Damn am I glad I had a sheltered 80's life, dressed normal and listened to U2 and Sabbath (post Ozzy years). Of course I was only 13 when the 90's hit :)

What I can remember:

Movies: TopGun
Music: Def Lepard
Spiked Hair, big ass glasses and parachute pants

Oh sure... You try showing up in gym with a 'cone' jockstrap and see how many guys snicker at ya...

Toolz,

Your comment reminds me of time SweetT took bunch of us out for sushi in
NO at Fay's show (Japan House I think it was called)... Bangwang, OldFold
and JohnIP were going on and on about the 'glory days' of the 70s... the
parties, the women, the wild times... I chimed in about playing tag and
coloring and recess.. you could just see the liver spots erupting on their
arms as they groaned and told me to hush... lol

This sums up just about everything that ran through my mind as I was reading this thread.... just throw in all of my Madonna-inspired black jelly bracelets, cut off sweatshirts (inspired by Flashdance) and "Take my Breath Away" by Berlin from Top Gun and you've got "my" 80's in a nutshell.

I went to Jr High, High School, moved to California, met my hubby and got married in that decade. To say that I've got MAJOR 80's memories is an understatement! :bdance:

Kewl thread - thanks for the Hump Day AM perk up! :rokk:

You know why that scares me? I see how hard some of us party nowadays, what's it gonna be like in say the 10's or the 20's when we've got a bunch of youngins of us out partying?

Anyone remember the Steven King movie Maximum Overdrive? I just picked that up on DVD the other day what a great kitsch flick. As well as who can forget Howard the Duck.

Best memory would have to be bands like Green River, Mudhoney and The Melvins changing the music trends 180 degrees around.

Howard the Duck was totally awesome fer shure!
The thing that has always stood out to me, besides the fact that every weekend I lost me freaking mind in the 80s is how 'different' the music was. It inspired me all over the place.
Best concert I went to in the 80s had the following groups
Police
Flock of Seagulls
The Fix
Joan Jett
Ministry
12 hour concert at Cominsky(sp)Park in Chicago
Massive food fight, dudes passing coke aroound like it was communal candy and Joan Jett got boo'ed off the stage

"Do ya wanna Touch
YEAH
Do ya wanna Touch
Yeah
Do ya wanna touch me THERE
Where
There
Yeah
(audience sang) Go
Go Home
Go Home!"
Hilarious, followed by a flock of seagulls. The guitarist knocked a full cup of soda back into the audience like a baseball player
couldnt sleep for DAYS. Got laid on the L on the way home.

I almost forgot, Martha Quinn was THERE!!! tie a rope around her neck & wear HER as your thin tie LOL

I'm channeling you Kath.. :awinky:

Bombing Libya!

So a naked blonde walks into a bar, with a poodle under one arm and a salami under the other.
The bartender looks at her and says....

"No dogs allowed, bitch."

He's big... he's bad... he never runs but will always catch your dumb ass...

Michael Myers first came home in 78... little earlier than the 80s but (aside
from that bullshit 'Season of the Witch' crap in number III) he kicked ass
and scared piss outta Jamie Lee in 4 decades! Happy 25th Anniversary...

HALLOWEEN

Even a closeted country bumkin like me can't believe nobody's mentioned
BREAKDANCING (or maybe that is just that nobody will admit it...lol)

Nobody will admit it.. there was always that one kid in school who was really good at it. The kid could be ugly as hell but if he could breakdance he was automatically with the in-crowd. I wonder what ever happened to that kid.. hmmm... Anthony? :nyanya:

Highschool!!!

And everything else that's already been mentioned.
