Music from your past.

You forgot one

Leadsled: Wham

leadsled arent you a closet village people fan!

(my mom dragged me to that concert)

Dragged???? I’m sure. You were singing wake me up before you go-go the whole way and you know it.

I SO did not like the Village People. I was a Menudo fan. Get it right.

Farside’s got Van Halen written all over him. Of course back then, what BMXer didn’t?
Hayden to me says Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Guns n Roses, all that. He used to look like Slash.

Johnny Cash????? Not even close.

I was eclectic in my musical tastes BITD:

Here are some of the first tapes in my first car:

REM – Chronic Town
Van Halen – 1984
Ratt – forgot name of tape but it had Round & Round on it.
Iron Maiden – Number of the Beast
Huey Lewis and the News – Sports (I think that was the name)
Weather Report – Heavy Weather (really good Jazz – I played some of their stuff in high school Jazz Band – yes, I’m a band fag – I played trumpet)
The Police
Oingo Boingo – I saw these guys in NYC, I think at the old Ritz – cool show.
Billy Joel

I told you it was eclectic.

My mom listened to country, not me, but I’ll admit it – I have a Travis Tritt tape, but only because he does an awesome cover of an old Elvis tune – T.R.O.U.B.L.E.

I will admit attending the following concerts / shows in the 80’s:

Heart – cheesy on the new stuff, but they rocked the old stuff like Barracuda

Mister Mister – g/f dragged me to Great Adventure for that one

White Tiger – same thing

The Tubes – same thing

Howard Jones – again, same thing, except at Continental Arena

Echo and the Bunnymen (dont ask – at Rutgers – same g/f)

Steve Winwood doing his new stuff at the time – but at least he did some old stuff.

38 Special with Bon Jovi as the warm up (a good show except for 38 Special sellin out on the new stuff)

Screamin Blue Messiahs – Hayden’s other band (ha-ha). I have no clue how I ended up at that one.

Winger

David Bowie Glass Spider tour with Squeeze as the warm up

The Cure (at MSG – can you say contact high?)

But, to shock you all, I saw Grateful Dead at Giants Stadium (right after a Mountain Bike race). G/F had tix. It was an experience.

Those are not all the shows I went to, but the 80’s definitely were interesting.

Oh because i am a “black guy” you list rap music! 😆
Just kidding
