I was in high school and college in the 80s. It was a great time for music and concerts. No cellphones, no internet and the shows were larger than life. They were general admission too, so you were free to move up towards the stage and closer to the band if you wanted to. Great times.

[@PaulWildstar]

Totally correct. No cellphones, just push button cord-ensnaring wall phones and definitely no internet for the public. You had to get your info from Cream Magazine, Rolling Stone, or Hit Parader. Most of the music scene's news would be three months old by the time a magazine hit the shelves. General Admission was the standard. High-priced premium seating hadn't arrived yet. KISW had Rising Star shows back then at $3 a ticket. Great times, indeed.

Heavy Metal kicked ass in the first half of the '80s(1980-84)...

REALLY!?!... What about UFO...Thin Lizzy...Deep Purple...Uriah Heep... other bands for their day categorized as metal Styx...Night Ranger...Foreigner... Queen... Blue Oyster Cult used keyboards and/or synthesizers...Geoff Nichols contributed to Black Sabbath...no thanks to Van Halen from 1985 onward "heavy metal" became wimpy...but bands like Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, & Slayer ushered in a new era of metal...they are what Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, & Uriah Heep were a decade earlier...hard rock, heavy rock, heavy metal, glam, punk...I liked it all...as the '80s passed along MTV metal was becoming a parody of itself...til Nirvana/grunge crushed it.

[@robashton8606]

80s hair metal died because, by 1990, everyone was bored to fucking tears of it. It's that fucking simple. That and most of those bands were two dimensional parodies of themselves. Bands like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains were doing something that rocked way harder and seemed to have something interesting to say. They didn't come across like brain-dead fuckwits either, which set them apart from the likes of Faster Pussycat et al. Personally, I was glad to see the back of the spandex and hairspray crew. They sucked.

[@burtkocain6846]

Rock had 40 years of dominance between 1956 and 1996. It isn't coming back. At least, if it does, it will sound very different from 80s rock. That being said, the intensity, rawness, and rebelliousness of metal and punk bands in the 80s and early 90s would need to be present for rock to have any chance of a comeback. You cant have whiny upper middle class emo kids bitching about first world problems or lame ass 40 year old nu metal musicians desperately trying to look and sound like rappers. Rock bands will need to be innovative and original and raw in the same way they were before the late 90s. Pay no mind to the flailing fucktard below me.

Then, if you go back to early glam like Bowie, T Rex, the New York Dolls, Aerosmith and Van Halen, the critics and the audiences loved them just as much as critics and audiences loved Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Beck and Alice in Chains.

[@cybrunel1016]

I don't miss the sappy power ballads, big hair on guys who look more like chics than chics, clothes from women lingerie section, pancake make up etc...On the other hand, they still played instruments back then...real musicianship does not exist in pop music these days,sob.

[@mistyfagan1320]

80's was the best! Krokus, Skid Row, Metallica, Heart, Pantera, Ratt, Van Halen, Motley Crew, Kixx, all you rocking M-fers helped me through the toughest part of my life!! Queensryche, Bullet Boys, Lita Ford. Yes I'm 50yrs old I miss it and want y'all to come back!! Best rock era ever never be the same! Keep on rocking people! Music makes everyone happy!!!

[@josephbrandt6778]

Well I lived it all and the 90s came it was over....I mean nobody today can come out new and start rocking cuz the 70s 80s and early 90s is unbeatable....it's all been done it can't be topped and if you weren't able to live it well it sucks to be you now...🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🥴👍

[@GrootsieTheDog]

A lot of these musicians deserved what was coming to them and some did not. But what Lita Ford gets wrong, is that the 90s didn't forget 80s bands.they just forgot her mediocre rise to fame. Ozzy had no problem staying relevant. Metallica, Megadeth we're not taken down in the 90s. Iron maiden, Judas Priest... They never lost their relevancy.

I was in college when MTV first came on. It was great back then. It was nothing but music videos. The way it should be!!!!!!!!!!

[@469dwj]

Yes the best time in music. Now MTV is garbage crybaby drama.

Mtv died a long time ago.

[@lunahetfield]

Every time i go to mtv classic on Fridays for metal mayhem during the commercials i'd always get, 'MoM mY sON Is tWO yEArS oLd aNd HE hAsNt sEeN yOu' and teenage pregnancy commercials for their 18 and Life show or something. And i would always scream 'GET IT OFFFF THIS ISNT MY SHOW!! THERES NO DEF LEPPARD NO WINGER NO CINDERELLA OR RATT OR IRON MAIDEN GET IT OOOOOFFFFFFF!!!!!!!"

[@Shyann1]

I agree with Lita Ford..there is NO real kick ass music scene anymore !! WTF ?? It's all kiddie POP.... guess why..they're the only ones buying CD's anymore . Or it's freakin RAP....which shoulda been done Years Ago !! We need Rock musicians to step up to the mic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make some great music again !!!!!! \m/

[@davidcatanus4922]

Shyann1 lmao, then how about you explore the thriving underground scenes for a change instead of whining and complaining about how rock/metal as a whole is "dead" like a typical hair band zombie. Seriously, rock/metal is still alive and kicking and has never come close to dying; it's just not mainstream anymore, but back in the underground where it belongs. There's still a crap ton of kickass bands out there today; you just gotta dig through all that mainstream BS to find the real deal

[@leehatz7773]

Shyann1 we are here and fighting. we are facing some backlash though from lefties calling us sexist and trying to shut us down. it's an even more extreme version of the pmrc.

[@mickeybowmeister1944]

Nirvana fundamentally changed the entire music landscape.

[@theariesexperiment4642]

I truly loved the 90s. Its was the birth of American Death Metal. It was a glorious time. I did go through the 80s bands like Kix, Cinderella, and Bullet Boys. That was about it. When grunge hit I was like "WTF is this???". Not a fan. I mean I guess I liked Alice and Chains. But that's it. I was as neck deep into Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, and Suffocation. OOOOOOOh such glorious times. I miss it very much.

[@ericv7720]

Spot on! I bought Bolt Thrower's "Warmaster" in the summer of '91, and that was it for me. When school started for my senior year of HS, everybody was creaming themselves over Nirvana, and I just said "Pfft!"

[@theariesexperiment4642]

@@ericv7720 We're you a Sinister fan?? I saw Sinister, Cynic, and Cannibal Corpse live at the Masquerade in Atlanta on Jan 3 1996 and drove right back down from Knoxville Tennessee the following weekend to see Goatwhore and Vader(Peter was EPIC) there,....then, I drove back down the very NEEEEXT weekend and saw Morbid Angel. Then,....the next year my whole band got to see Behemoth from backstage (pure insanity). The best 2 years of my life in terms of bucket list shows. Two bands I never got to see on my bucket list though,....were Death and Deicide. But, in 97,....my band was in the first actual "death metal" band to come out of Tennessee signed. The band Inner Self was second. Then eventually White Chapel much later. Now, even though it was on an Indy label, they still toured our asses off for 6 months and our lead singer literally abandoned us a rest stop just outside of Milwaukee. We were about to play the Milwaukee Metal Fest. We we're to share the 3rd stage with Origin and Chimera. Dwell Records was our label. They were a subsidiary label to Metal Blade. Back when labels used them to scout talent. We were pretty nasty live. Never got to do an album,....but Dwell did however paid us $1300 to do 3 completion CD's. Covers songs for Pantera, Death, and Sepultura. Our band was called Terminal Plan, and those tracks are on KZbin. Terrible production but we got the point across. Lol.

[@ericv7720]

@@theariesexperiment4642 You lived the dream, man! From '93 up until '96 I was overseas in the military. When I got back, I saw a ton of bands in L.A. (my hometown), like Entombed in '97 and Death in '98 in Hollywood. Those were the days when everything was happening!

[@williamshultz4620]

Not just metal but I think music in the 80s was just better imo.

[@Almeida5]

Without a doubt! Think about all the stuff one would hear on the radio back in the 80's. MOST of the music emanated from singer songwriters/musicians. It stayed like that for a little bit into the early to mid 90's, but then music on the radio got really simplistic and what is popular on the radio isn't even remotely close to that era. I love metal, but I also liked what was happening from a Top 40 perspective for the most part back in the 80's.

[@shanesworld6363]

Thats because it was better ,music now days is unoriginal shit even metal today while i still like todays metal its not as good as it was in the 80s and early 90s stuff today is all about bpm and the music part is lost and all the bands all sound the same. Pop music has been ruined by american idol and autotune ,rap and country were never good and rock is practically gone.

[@kiefnealy836]

[@KellyBergerDeusVult]

It's not a problem with rock and roll . A problem with America. This music did vanish from the planet, just from America. We have a lot of problems. I certainly never stopped loving the music. I wore shorts and a t-shirt to every concert I ever went to no matter what. Orchestra, rock, blues, jazz. Just be yourself. That said, rock and roll is entertainment. It's got a visual and an audio component to it. Fashion is as much a part of rock and roll as the music is

Joe Elliott ... Slaughter Did Not Sound Like Def Leppard ...

Nor did any of the bands he mentioned. Dullest most watered down shit ever was all DL was after the first two albums.

[@famouslastwords0791HR]

@mbwfreedom Yeah agreed.

[@namedeplume2022]

@mbwfreedom Pyromania was "an okay album at best"? I disagree. It was not as good as High N Dry, but it certainly was a good album, as was Hysteria that followed. While it is obvious that losing Steve Clark brought changes to their music afterward, Def Leppard continues to put out good albums. They are no longer a heavy riff metal band, but bands tend to change over time.

These guys aren't giving them selves enough credit,I still love all that music from the 80's,nothing will ever top that for me!!!

[@norwegianblue2017]

I loved the early metal bands. But there came a point where they started to be more worried about their hair than their music. Never cared for Bon Jovi, Poison, and that stuff. Give me early-mid Ozzy, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden and Metallica. Anything after 1985 is suspect.
