The minds behind the blog were talking about things or sounds that were unique to hair metal, or heavy metal of the 80's. Steve brought out the "whooosh" sounds on the drum tracks to some songs. Up All Night by Slaughter came to mind, as did Nothin' But A Good Time from Poison. Youth Gone Wild had a taste near the end. Hey Steve, I thought of another one after we stopped emailing. Remember The Stroke by Billy Squire. The Whooosh (or missle swoosh sound as Steve has coined it) was clear throughout that whole song. Keeping with drums, what happened to guys twirling drumsticks? It was cool and people just don't do it anymore. We need to bring that back. Remember B.C. Rich guitars? Why don't people play them anymore. I'm secretly glad that some of the clothes don't come back, but the instruments were kick ass. Does anyone twirl their guitars (ala Cinderella) anymore? What about the tight little sharp ended Jackson flying V's (ala Mustaine and King) or frontmen twirling their mic stands (ala Bon Jovi and Coverdale)? How about pyrotechnics? I don't watch new videos or see new bands, but it would be cool to see John Mayer and the Simpson girl (the hot one, not the one with the nose) singing a duet and as they approach stage right...KABOOM...they both go ablaze. The kids today are just missing out on some of the cool PROPS we had! EVH was as recognizable for that painted up guitar as he was for his sound. Keifer without a jet black Les Paul, or Wylde without that black and white bullseye Les Paul? Wouldn't happen. George Lynch was my man, and his guitars (he had too many cool ones to mention) were a staple. What would you like to see come back? What band or band member did you identify with their instrument as much as their sound? Post away ya'll, I want to read some of these.
