I think that's precisely why it's difficult for so many of us to look back. The fact that they were so good and we can never truly recapture it is extremely painful. At least it is for me.

I get a similar feeling when I'm visiting the neighborhood I grew up in, 20 years ago. Houses look different, the street looks different, most of my old neighbours died, most of my friends moved far away. Businesses that used to operate there are now closed. It's almost like I'm a ghost lurking there. The place and people of my childhood exist only in my memories. And when I die, these memories will go away forever as if they never happened.

It’s a very bittersweet feeling knowing you’re the only person visiting back your old childhood neighborhood reminiscing the good ol days whilst your childhood friends live elsewhere and have their own families, everything you knew then was simpler and different then 😕

[@emmy4537]

It’s bittersweet and that’s how life goes unfortunately. It’s important to plan ahead for the future, however it’s just as important to enjoy yourself “in the now” as well so in the future you’ll have mostly good memories to look back on. It’s because I’ll die eventually that I have less anxiety now because I no longer care about what people may think of me, and that I do more of the things I want to do and make as many good interactions with people as possible. Before I know it, the 2020’s will be my version of the 1980’s in the sense that a lot of time would have passed by that time.

Hey, I love your videos. I'm 47, and I identify so much with your lives your history. You were me, I was you. I was a metalhead then, and I am today also. The only thing different is my parents were squares and wouldn't let me have long hair. When I was 25, I had hair reaching below my armpits (not armpit hair!) and earrings in my ears. Now, like you, I have short hair, am somewhat balding, and still fixated in some ways on the last decent decade - the 1980s! That's why I started watching your videos. You bring back great (and some not-so-great) memories, and it has been great walking down your memory lane with you and seeing how much your neighborhood (and lives) has changed.

The woman the cover of Ratt’s Invasion of Your Privacy is Marianne Gravatte, not Tawny Kitaen, who appears on the covers of the self-titled EP and debut, Out of the Cellar. Gravatte was Playmate of the Year for 1983, and, I believe, a one-time girlfriend of Robbin Crosby, the band’s (now deceased) guitar player (alongside Warren DeMartini). Of course, Robbin also dated Kitaen, from way back, pre-Ratt. Gravatte is also the girl in the “Lay It Down” video. Yes, I am a psychotic metal nerd. Rock on.

I remember Tawny Kitaen in Whitesnakes music video and wished i was as gorgeous as her back in the day.

[@ericmabley2120]

@@deborahhenderson149 Well you're alive and Tawny Kitaen isn't...who's the winner now?

[@user-ty2xv6xw8j]

​​@ericmabley2120 Tawny, I lost my husband after 41years together since we were 17. I have been essentially dead inside since. So.... 😢

[@mjdeluxe]

larry is one of the coolest people ever, I'm so happy these videos exist and that you guys are still friends :)

[@WallyBoots]

This is so great! Such an amazing pay off after watching all those videos. Good to see childhood friends getting together to reminisce. Thanks for all the time and effort that went into this. We appreciate it.

[@twikirobot6897]

That was really cool...I love the 'then and now' comparisons. Well done.

[@xmoose9]

Gentlemen, these videos are priceless. Thank you so much ❤️🤘

[@anotherstopdowntherabbitho4451]

That’s so awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@romulocastro1742]

Friendship is a gift, great video. Your channel is a time travel for everyone, it makes me remember my childhood, here in Brazil.

[@3PCTManOrBust]

It is awesome that you guys are still friends and hangout to make videos. That is very rare these days to have close friends like this!

[@puglover6113]

Ikr 😭

[@Purple0nion]

Just came across the walk to the record store last night. Had no idea you guys were in Huntsville until mid way thru the video and I started recognizing things. Really cool to see two times side by side thanks!

[@puckoster]

this got recommended to me for some reason and i love it! awesome stuff 🤘

[@TheGardengal638]

42 years old and I totally watched Green Acres on Nick at Nite in the late 80’s. They use to have all the shows from the 50’s and 60’s during that time.

[@jasonrackawack9369]

I still remember it was on after Mr Ed LOL!

[@phildodson6141]

I walked through my small town in 1989 just like these guys .....i was 14 too. So many memories of a better time in the world! Wish I was a teen all over again!

[@oodyswe]

This is so cool! That you revisited and made a video 😊.

[@roryjoey1778]

This is rad! Respect to both of your friendship.

[@TheRbruin10]

To me you guys will always be those cool metal teens from the 80s. You guys rock!

[@Jaykins76]

I miss these days, what a time to be alive! Thanks for the memories 😎

[@dbeaumontresident847]

Amazing trip to the past and back!! Love your channel guys!

[@EricDarrell]

Glad you enjoyed it! -D

[@slummillymill6455]

I have watched both videos the 1 from 1989 and the one from now you guys took me so far back that I got Goosebumps thank you it was so rejuvenating mating I hope you guys are doing well and I wish you all the best you made me smile for the 1st time and a long time thank you for that

[@spiderling88]

I have such conflicting emotions watching this. I am about the same age and was the female version of you guys. I am kinda glad none of my teen metalhead days and bad lip syncing talent show entries were caught on tape. You all handle this with such grace and are still adorable.

[@lucaboscolopalo7613]

Guys, you deserve a movie, really. You're something like "stand by me". I love you.

[@scottstalcup6980]

Man. Just found this channel yesterday. This reminds me of every trip back to Bloomington. Nice to know I'm not alone.

[@Norman-Bates-60]

DARRELL doesn't have a southern accent..interesting..These videos are getting better and better..

[@rscotta831]

I've lived there my entire life and don't have a southern accent.

[@paisleyprincess7996]

He lives in ATL now. Larry and Eric still live in Huntsville

[@raaawkstaaar]

@@paisleyprincess7996 Atl is in the heart of the south LOL

[@awareofyourredlist6249]

I've lived here my entire life and get asked where I'm from... Lol

[@awareofyourredlist6249]

@Battle Kat I think it depends on how your parents spoke and pronounced words. My mother was born and raised in Chicago and then moved to Oklahoma where I was born but we moved here when I was 7. I'm not going to disclose my age... Lol. Let's just say I've lived here over 32 years. So I think I get my non southern accent from my mother and father. My father was born and raised on an Indian reservation so.... That's just my take

[@angelabenedict]

I'm binging your videos today. No cellphones or planking. Who knew there were vloggers in the 80s!

[@EricDarrell]

We didn't know what we were. We were just having fun! Thanks for watching! -D

[@apfelprincess45]

I've been watching these two all afternoon, all their vids here in 2022 from way back in the 80s. Fabulous time machine material. Honestly it's better than a cry and a cup of tea to make you feel good. In 1981 I was I was 16 and living in MN as an exchange student for a year. It all looked so similar, the times were just simpler and people didn't stress, they just made their own fun and lived their lives. If I put on my shoes and and tap my heels three times, I hope to return to those days in the 80s, after the last three years we've all endured I think a few people would join me.

[@paulmenard6219]

This is so beautiful…. 46 years old here and would love to get together with some of the old crew and take these walks…. Thank you for sharing this

[@Debbienezfan]

I watched Green Acres when I was a kid, I am 48.

[@timothyrowland2050]

I didn't watch Green Acres, but I watched The Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island.

[@emello4you]

39 here and I watched I love Lucy and The Three Stooges

[@keithhall2943]

That's amazing seeing you guys revisit the old stomping grounds

[@EricDarrell]

It was a really fun day! -E

[@Orionwayz]

Love this, old friends getting together. Reminds me of old times . Thnk you.😁

[@matthewmead2374]

What a clever project and you guys definitely nailed it.

[@kennethwilliams7731]
