Here's What It Was Really Like To Be A Groupie In The 1980s

[@GrungeHQ]

What are your thoughts on groupies?

[@lindaellen808]

Want to be one for who I desire.

[@btanirose581]

Well, it isn't shocking that being a groupie wasn't great for your life.

[@ross.2003]

Your actions fit the perceptions of others.

[@nikkiwild4014]

Groupies are the huge part of the Rock'n Roll History.

[@MockeyMokey9958]

Photographers know more what goes on and Road Crews too 😉

I was a metal groupie in the 80s and I have nothing but great memories. I was 19 before I met my first musician. I still have never touched a drug or alcohol. I don't smoke anything. I never hooked up with anyone other than the band members. I enjoyed being a groupie. I had no ambition to be a wife or even a girlfriend. I did that up until the mid 90s when I met my late husband. I got back into the lifestyle in my 40s when I went on the Monsters of Rock cruise. Funny thing was I actually developed relationships with them that I didn't in my 20s. Now I'm happily re married to an engineer with a dog, a beach home, and a Jeep. But I wouldn't change a thing about my groupie life.

[@DanielSnyder-bz8kp]

When you say "engineer" do you mean like the recording type of person, or the guy that shovels coal into a furnace on a train. I 1st learned of that in a cartoon. That is the beginning of my education pre-kindergarten. Cartoons were my pre-k education. By the way I did audio engineering myself for our bands demos back in the 90's. Self-taught.

[@sburris65]

@DanielSnyder-bz8kp ..he is the person who diagnosis problems on a cell tower, orders the parts, and send people out to make the repairs

[@andreib2202]

i feel bad your husband...He must be desperate to marry someone like u

[@sburris65]

@andreib2202 ...maybe you need to go get some help to see why you enjoy being a douch bag.

[@VikkiTG]

@@andreib2202lol you sounds like loser go do something with yourself weirdo

[@visualverbs]

You are what you portray yourself to be. At any time these girls could have changed their trajectory; they didn't.

[@darylcumming7119]

Judgement and hindsight won't change the past unfortunately.

[@rinaticson390]

I was approached and never gave in , my boyfriend at the time thought he was it. Hell no, I didn't want to catch anything.

[@fortunatomartino8549]

Women wanted these guys Did they think rock stars were going to marry them?

[@princecornell639]

All of these groupies coming out and saying they were taken advantage of etc., but they made every effort possible to be with band members. From dressing provocatively to lying about their ages. I knew a groupie back in the 80s who did everything she could to make sure that she met band members and stayed with them in their hotel rooms. She continuously lied about her age and called hotels to see if band members were checked in. A little money goes a long way in getting information. The young girls that were always hanging out at the club in LA went back over and over and over again of their own volition so I don’t feel sorry for them whatsoever they put themselves in the position to be taken advantage of. The band members who knew the girls were underage took full advantage of the silver platers put in front of them. Neither party was right. Including the parents of the young groupies who were not supervising their underage daughters.

[@97warlock]

I didnt learn anything I didnt already know here.

[@gbear2253]

Do you come from a rich family? Or were you a kid with rich parents? I dreamed of a life traveling with cool people, musicians, and enjoying music. I always wanted to just live life and have fun. But it was a hard hit when I turned 18 and realized that I didn’t come from money. Work got in the way of my freedom and fun. So now I watch movies and documentaries about groupies and musicians. It’s a breath of fresh air to see people enjoying life.

[@oscar17891]

People love to judge but you hit the nail on the head 👏👏👏

[@kurtu5]

my soggy knees! chicken little cries out again

[@Glimmmerra]

Who here is all for their teen daughters or granddaughters 'hanging with the band and partying like it's the '80s'.?

[@oscar17891]

While I can understand your concern we must strive to realize that our kids' life is their own to make the most with the tools we gave them

[@Glimmmerra]

Eye roll

[@julieschoolcraft1503]

Thanks to Roxanna , she ruined a long marriage for Sebastian Bach. No respect.

[@GREG62944]

I don't have any groupies or girls hanging out at my place.

[@bertcastro2420]

But who is she to speak for all the women they didn't mind being called groupies because that's what they were

[@lisaaustin8150]

The only issue I have is that men are admired for their sexual exploits and conquests, but women…have to whisper about them and keep them from any further significant others 🤷🏼‍♀️ I grew up fully enjoying my promiscuous behavior and growing with experience. But, there were plenty of whispers about “slut” and “ho” or I must’ve had Daddy issues 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ I just enjoyed sex, drugs and rock and roll

[@LaurieValdez-zk3dy]

I never judge others❤❤🎉🎉🎉 to each their own

[@satyricon65]

There are consequences for your actions. Take responsibility.

[@linferguson8702]

Motley crue are the worst crap ever 😡😡😡

[@katrinamillings3651]

It's weird everyone always says 80s were about excess and grunge stripped it down. Kurt was an addict. A lot of the grunge rockers were. They had less hair and no flashy costumes. That's the only difference. I'm sure Kurt had his fun with the groupies.

[@chuckz2934]

Boo effin hoo

[@inthewoodshed9611]

If your a victim of sexual assault- DO NOT CALL THE SUPREME COURT OR A REPUBLICANS

[@joonsmelodie9927]

Why are you yelling? Let me educate you bc I hope you're not suggesting victims try and get help from Democrats either? They can't go to Hillary Clinton who purposely smeared every one of the gals who even thought of saying something about Bill abusing them, and Hillary and George Stephanopoulos were in charge of it and called themselves the "Bimbo Squad". And yes, they knew these girls were telling the truth. And they can't go to Joe Biden as he’s had his own problems with many accusers. He also insists on swimming in the n*de at his home but only when there are female secret service agents watching him...and even tho they’ve complained many times. Ntm how his own daughter Ashley said he took inappropriate showers with her as a kid. They certainly can’t go to any of the Democrat Hollywood celebrities, as a huge percentage of them never did anything but protect Harvey Weinstein, even after they were already famous, ntm how all of them STILL adore and protect that Roman Polanski guy who absolutely did r*pe a 13 year old girl back in the 1970’s but ran away to France where he still lives and makes movies today. In fact, Hollywood still gushes over him during award ceremonies and have been stating since the beginning that they think the U.S. “should just drop the charges and let him come home”. I could go on and on and on but you get the point. I know what you’re thinking tho…you’re thinking “well it’s only ok when Democrats do it” which is why you and them are 💯 no good for any victim to go to. Thank you, I'm here all day.

[@julieschoolcraft1503]

Why ? Most democrats are hypocrites and perverts.

[@derangedhermit2879]

?…Neither faction of Wall $treet is a hero to victims.

[@ChristineNeilson]

I feel sorry for these ladies, But we musnt judge. These girls are human beings not rubbish. Blame the men involved. God bless these poor girls.
