Well, I was just thinking about how when 80s singers and bands go out of the limelight, how they really let themselves go!
Inspired by a hideous picture of Robert now being laughed at in one of the threads on this very site, I decided to make an entire thread devoted to pictures of ANY musician, whether it be Boy George, George Michael, or some other crappy artists...or someone with actual talent!
POST OLD AND NEW PHOTOS!!! WHY? Because it'll be funny and nostalgic!!!
I'll start it off with someone Alluivia and I were talking about:

And theres another one i used to be infactuated with YES Billy Idol - Now thats the leather pants i been talking about wooohooo - except Robert looked better !!!
But still Billy looks good for his age, When i saw him in concert - being very young at the time, A friends mum drove us, and we waited outside for Billy to go backstage, security wasnt as good back then, no fences, etc.
When we saw Billy i latched my arms around his head, and my hands after had so much make up on them - poor guy ! and i didnt let go easy either hehehehehehee
Rogue, have you heard the story about Lol and Billy Idol?
Motley Crue then and in 97 - hard to find pic of the whole group very recently, Used to love a bit of 'glam' rock. But i wont make you put up with too much more, although was thinking of Bon Jovi- but didnt like them much- Those were the days. :lol: And W.A.S.P. Yes !!!!!

Reminds me of last night, since Carnage V mentioned he wanted to wear big/high heel boots to school- :smth023
I been on an 80's flash-back ever since !!!! Is still conjures up the beast I LOVE IT. That was just the best medicine hey !!! This Thred Rocks !!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZb3Xya7jQ8 - my 80's Anthem -reason Blackie stands like that is because of the giant boot stilettos he is wearing- AWSUM still turns me on. And at the end that strange head banging thing he does. (ok, i try restrain myself from going on about it too much now....think i have mentioned it in 4 different threds, oopsie pooopsie :twisted: )
Edit ~ I read on the WASPnation.com website, that they also had to cancel Nth American tour too, think dates are similar-ish? not sure, (i see), but anyway,- from memory,....they said record label thing....??? coincidense ?
I JUST WANTED TO POST AGAIN,
BECAUSE I HAVENT FINISHED WITH MY 80'S FLASHBACK, YET, A PURELY SELFISH REASON...........AHHHH I KNOW. :smth020
Remembering my brother listening to Iron Maiden, and first KISS- but i was about 6-7 or something- very young- and loved kiss, then enduring Iron maiden, and Metallica- grew up to like them too, and then my brother- Music pounding through to my room started with the FLOYD - Yes PINK FLOYD- that at the time gave me the shits, but later i appreciated it.
and just before i went to College it was all with the Michael Jackson, Thriller, and yes i loved it at the time, Feel like iam confessing something awful here....
and then Billy Idol, The Cure before and always.

Ihave Kings on the wild frontier on vinyl.. I love Adam Ant.. I know he's done a bit of acting.. but this is one 80's singer ( like my one and only Boy George) who maybe should have kept his makeup and image going.. once they released thier "Romantic" stage with the 2nd album, the magic was lost ...
