MOTLEY CRUE 80s ROCK

MOTLEY CRUE - LOVED BY LADIES OF THE 80s

Was it the big hair? The leather pants? The badboy attitude? Something about Motley Crue attracted the girls. Guess that is why they sang about them GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS!

Nikki Sticks - Bass player and super-powered hair dryer user.

Nikki Sticks big hair big make up big ego!

Motley Crue - you bad boys!

Vince Neil - Guitar and bulk volume hair mousse user.

Vince Neil - "Vincey"

Motley Crue - the scary look

Vince Neil - the new look

Tommy Lee - Drummer and hardcore make up user (what? it was the 80s!)

Tommy Lee - Drum destroyer!

Even though they were a successful crew - there were always personal problems between the band members. Tommy Lee summed it up in a Rolling Stones interview after their last official concert: 

Rolling Stone - So you really haven't spoken to Nikki or Vince since the show?

TOMMY LEE - I think fucking Nikki unfollowed me on fucking Twitter, like, the next day. I was like, "Wow. OK, dude." 
Tommy Lee sure has a way with words eh?

GRAB THE SHIRT AND RELIVE THE GREATEST TIME IN ROCK -  80s ROCK TSHIRTS

Looking back at these pics I'm confused as to what the appeal was. But, it was a different time! At least their music was totally awesome and still rocks! When I need my heart kickstarted I put on my Motley Crue cassettes.

RICK ASTLEY IS STILL TOURING!

RICK ASTLEY 80s HEARTTHROB

Astley just had another birthday (he's like 58 now) but, you wouldn't know it! The guy is looking just as good as he did way back in the early 80s when he ran up the charts with his deep voice and his groovy melodies. His fashion sense was bang on too - with the sport coat and the deck shoes. Fast forward to 2018 and the guy still looks sharp.

Astley still touring in 2018!

Always hip with the fashion scene

He was the ultimate hipster - before hipster was even invented...just look at the thick rimmed glasses!

Rick has the thick glasses before the hipsters took them on.

His hipster boy-next door look and his ability to move with the latest social media trends has made Rick an internet sensation. If you are not familiar with the term 'rickrolling' you need to look it up...never mind, here is a rundown from wikipedia:

In 2007,^[45] Astley became the subject of a viral Internet meme known as rickrolling. In this prank, Web users are tricked into seeing Rick Astley's video "Never Gonna Give You Up" when they follow a link that claims to be something else.^[46] Views of this video on various websites are now in the hundreds of millions. The phenomenon became so popular that on 1 April 2008, YouTube pranked its users by making every single featured video on its front page a rickroll.^[47]

Try it out next time you need to use a link

This is a good rickroll

Ah, Jean Luc has been rickrolled!

MORE LOL 1980s MEMEs

The eighties were a special time: great bands, kick-butt music....which is why it is now trendy and hip to claim you were around in that era. Even hipster punks try to lay claim to the 80s.

Being born in the 80s was always cool

 Rock in the late 70s and early 80s was just awesome. It really was. You had bands like Blondie, Heart, Rush, Van Halen, Helix, Foreigner, Nazareth...not only could they play, but, they looked really cool with their handlebar moustaches. They also had rockin' names. 

They may not have made it without a synthesizer player!

THE CURE FRONTMAN ROBERT SMITH

The CURE! One of the eighties-est of 80s bands. Especially for that melancolic teen. You know, come to think of it, Robert Smith may have invented TGIF. He did creat a version of it with Friday I'm in Love. Who wouldn't look forward to Friday if you are in love that day. I bet Robert would say to himself, thank god it's Friday...I'm about to be in love.

I prefer Friday as well

This looks exactly like my calendar. Except mine says 'snuggle kittens' every second Monday

Robert Y no smile?

I'm not 100% sure what disease The Cure was fighting - I'm thinking it was diabetes.

The prevention, that's a good one :)

Damn millenials

You know what else is pretty trendy nowadays - throwing an 80s party. I've had one and can say they are so much fun. You get out the old spandex pants, denim vests, mousse & hairspray and just go to town.

Pretty soon us original 80s partiers will be 80 - ouch!

Fun 80s Trivia Time 

We know the original name for Johnny Hates Jazz was the vastly inappropriate Johnny Hates J***. But, how well do you know the origins of other hit 80s bands?

Duran Duran's original name?

I like Duran Duran, but, LeBrun LeBrun would have worked too!

Quick quiz - why does that show Glee keep singing Journey songs? They are gonna run out soon! 

Damn Millenials!

We all know, and love, Tommy Tutones one hit wonder Jenny (867-5309), but, have you ever wondered what the heck the area code was? 

I think it should be a San Francisco area code!

 Name that singer: Who wanted you to Face On Him, Live like a refugee, Don't come around here no more, Stand up at the gates of hell, or Do him like that?
