And there should have been at least one Rush song on there, like "Closer To The Heart"

[RockinRight]

That's OK, I got into a fight at a Poison concert in '99...my girlfriend at the time accidentally spilled beer on this fat 40-something guy in a W.A.S.P. t-shirt and he called her a "Stupid c__t..." and it was ON from there...the fight got broken up before I got to break the bastard's nose but still...

[RockinRight]

Bon Jovi had one good album - 7800 Fahrenheit. Whitesnake was OK but not great. And for whatever reason I just can't stand David Coverdale.

[PaulaB]

I agree

Secret 2112 addict :)

[ovrtaxt]

Yeah, but they had terrible hair!

They cut it after this- except for Geddy.

[RockinRight]

OMG they looked like chicks!! I forgot how bad it was!

[300magnum]

I was wondering how long before Bon Jovi was mentioned.

[TheBigB]

HC=Harry Caray (Will Ferrell); R=Ronald Culberston (Matthew Perry)

HC: Hey! What if they cloned a dinosaur?...Would ya' eat it?

R: You know, I haven't really given it much thought.

HC: I know I would. Char broiled dinosaur covered in gravy. Side of curly fries. I bet they'd call it the Dinosaur Special.

R: Yes, I guess they would.

HC: So how 'bout it Ronald? Would you eat a dinosaur?

R: What...What does this have to do with...

HC: Hey, don't jerk me around Ronald! It's a simple question! Would you eat a dinosaur?

R: I guess I would.

HC: I think you've made a wise choice. Boy, I wish those scientists would hurry up. I'm gettin' hungry.

[Ace of Spades]

"They had the skankiest entourage ever!"

Ha! If Lemmy wasn't a rock god he'd be lucky to even get that. :)

[RockinRight]

LOL...so true...yet they all got laid more than just about anyone...and with girls!

[BigSkyFreeper]

Same goes for Whitesnake.

Everytime I see that scene in Old School, with Will Farrell's character Frank "The Tank" working on his car, his cassette player cranked and Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" cranking out loud, I laugh so hard because I know guys who were like that in high school.

[RockinRight]

Lemmy...it's hard to believe it, but he turned SIXTY last year!!!

[ovrtaxt]

I didn't like Bon Jovi at the time- but recently, I realized how fun 'Runaway' is to play. It just bounces back and forth- great riff!

[RockinRight]

I know guys like that NOW! My one friend always works on his car and cranks up 80s hair bands...he's worse than me even!

[RockinRight]

Well...this was a thread that took an hour out of my work day!

[Ace of Spades]

Can you believe he LIVED so see 60??? He's a machine powered by booze...

[BJClinton]

This oughtta help: http://www.nothingtoxic.com/playVideo.asp?id=1134&v=1

[RockinRight]

That's a feat in and of itself!

[PaulaB]

"You ever think about the moon Jeff?"

[ovrtaxt]

He better not quit- his body will decide to check out, like Jerry Garcia.
