Members k tone Posted June 16, 2010 Members Share Posted June 16, 2010 I found this cassette in a bargain bin for $2.99. It's Brian May and EVH jamming over a weekend. Hey it did not get much better than that for a budding young guitarist in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members k tone Posted June 16, 2010 Members Share Posted June 16, 2010 Ya it is Eddie at the top of his game before his Meth induced psychosis (and Hagar induced wussyness) took over. Some pretty blistering lead lines in this tune. [YOUTUBE]qj_moyj7QJ4&feature=related[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fu2jobu Posted June 16, 2010 Members Share Posted June 16, 2010 Those were live versions of songs mostly released in the 70's. The ones that are from the 80's I don't think I even ever heard them. If you are going to include a Talking heads album I would think the only one that might make the cut would be...

I don't think you get off that easy. Whether it is or is not rock music is not simply a matter of opinion. It is a matter of fact. Whether it's good or not...that's an opinion. If I say "In my opinion Mars is not a planet," I happen to think that is a matter of fact not opinion. I would be wrong just like you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members enuenu Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Great thread. Starting to remember that there was Rock in the 80s. However it was not mainstream in general. You had to know where to find this music. As a school kid in the suburbs I only glimpsed a few of the off-centre gems that have been detailed above, and that was only because my friend's big brother was a music maniac who had stuff coming from everywhere. Without him it would have been Duran Duran and Culture Club all 'round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gumkick Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 How about "I Against I" by Bad Brains? A little better than Rock For Light if you ask me. I dunno, I remember at the time it seemed cool. I had it on my iPod recently and I didn't think it held up all that well, good but none of the songs were outstanding. It was ahead of its time for 86 though, I'm sure it would have been commercial in the 90s. It did solve the problem of half the songs being mediocre reggae but I still like the other half of the first two albums much much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
