That DLR pic is freaky. The man looks like a walking blood vessel. He's almost purple. I'm still on the floor laughing at that Warrant pic. Those guys were so tough! Janie Lane... that was his name, right? There's that laughter again. ;D That pic isn't so much gross as it is hilarious. Good find. I won't post a picture, but the grossest I can think of is a screencap from that video Vince Neil made with Janine Lindemulder. Yeah, you know the one I'm talking about. Wasn't it called Mötley Scrüe?  Let's just say, he's NOT the one they call Dr. Feelgood. ;D

Funny you should ask! Back in the 80s, I had a poster of Bon Jovi on my wall, in which Jon had on leopard print tights and a bright purple vest, showing his hairy chest and stomach. I thought he looked sooooo sexy -god only knows what my parents thought! ;D

Chill out. I took offence since my posts were not meant to be amussing and it appeared that you were being sarcastic with your response. And what's up with the "I don't see why he would make that as sumption without knowing you though." comment? How could I "know" someone from just a few posts on an internet message board? I was just simply stating that anyone who took jest to my posts in this thread would have to be much younger and from a different generation. Unless, of course, either they hate the generation they were raised in or have forgotten and abandoned their heritage completely. IMO, 80s "hair" metal rockers still look like "real" rock stars to me and the "average joe" so called rockers of today look just that. Average and ordinary. Sorry I took so much offense, but I really am sick and tired of the "80s bashing" going on and that has been going on for like 10 years now. It is getting very old and stale especially coming from the people who do the most of it and looking at what they think looks "cool" which is the true joke. Anyway, relax everyone. This is just an internet forum and not "real life" so I really don't care what an individual thinks or says here. I just take offense to 80s dissing in general and especially on an 80s forum. Sort of like if I went to the "00s" section of this forum and started a negative post on how "stupid" or "gross" some of the 00s rockers look (which would compose about 99.9% of them ;) ) Although there hasn't been much 00s bashing going on for so long to "fuel the fire" so to speak.

Well, I wouldn't say someone who dislikes a certain look or type of music from the 80's is bashing the 80's...  IMO the late 70's and the 80's were the best time ever for music... but that doesn't mean I like New Kids On The Block. :P

You're welcome!

I'm a huge fan of Mr.Schilling (you can tell by my username) and he's on my list of hot singers and he's still handsome at 49 years old! You can find pictures of him on http://www.google.com and http://www.yahoo.com in their image searches!

Here's his website! (in German) http://www.peterschilling.com


P.S.: It's also hard for me to find old photos of him because somewhat the internet doesn't really offer me any whenever I search for any old ones...

The reason I started this thread has nothing to do with 80s dissing. I love the 80s as much as any of you. The pic I posted of David Lee Roth shows a former pop icon from the 80s, who is clearly passed his prime, dressing as though it was still the 80s and he was still a "stud" in his 20s. I do find it gross -and laughable at the same time! WTF does he think he looks like???

No offense, but you must be into regular top 40 pop music, dance music or something like that because that's the typically conservative attitude you'd get from someone into that sort of stuff. That picture is really not that bad at all especially compared to the first photo by the original writter of this thread. And the Poison one isn't that bad either, i've seen worse of them & my girlfriend still thinks Brett Micheals is hot. In fact so do many hundreds of thousands of other women out there. I can assure you there's nothing gay about him or the rest of the band. Come on you can do better than that, how about one of Micheal Jackson that guy touches little boys, now that's gay among other things.

Some people are either conservative or just plain ignorant & only think something is good or cool if it's current & if eMptyTV or radio tells them so. It's funny how peoples lemming media conditioned attitudes & opinions change over the years as they discard artists & groups once they no longer look & sound like a clone from the present day & just aren't  "cool" enough for them like some sort of consumer product. Actually i find that quite disturbing.  It's just conditioning though, you only think they look silly because the fashion dictated to everyone, especially today is very contempary & ordinary.

I can whole heartedly say that the rockstars & especially popstars of the present era look lamer than ever, wearing all this designer boutique Gap or Hot Topic style clothin & then tattoos as if though they're hardcore or something (think Good Charlotte among others), but their music SUCKS TOTAL SH!T & they're a bunch of weak tits & products of their record labels, managers & MTV. I wonder how much corperate c*ck they had to suck to look & sound that sh!t. Rappers are probably the biggest culperates when it comes to lame with a capital L. All those so called artists, rockstars, popstars & rappers etc of this era have one thing in common & that's that they try so hard to look cool & trendy that it makes me laugh at how transperant & crass they really are. I think Bill Hicks would have a field day with it if he were still around.

100% RIGHT ON!  ;)

My 1st Secondary School teacher defined them as "sumo punk". Today punk music is NOT like what punk was in the 70s and 80s, Members of Good Crap Charlotte have clothing lines and their own dolls and here's to say they aren't really punk: One of the members wore track suits in one of Good Charlotte's music videos!

Get over yourself, you pompous ass. Who the hell cares how they dressed? I can't think of a rocker that ever dressed "cool." I never chose to listen to any artist because of their ripped jeans or their lipstick. The reason I like them is the music. Plain and simple. You act like the way they dressed defined them as human beings. All I care about is the music. I thought their "get-ups" were stupid in the 80s, and I think they're still stupid. I thought glam rock attire was the worst idea ever conceived. I liked their music in the 80s and still do. In fact, I like it more now. How these people dressed didn't affect my decision to purchase their records. It's the music that made all the difference. If you can't see that, then you're as hopelessly deluded as that MTV generation you speak of. You know, some people see the glass half empty, and others see the glass half full. You see the glass full of p*ss. Stop being such a superficial dittohead, and think for yourself for once.

And who cares if anyone makes fun of these 80s rockers in an 80s thread? Does anyone have any contact with the people that have been mentioned thus far? Is anyone here an 80s rocker that was mentioned? Highly improbable. If you genuinely take offense to insults aimed at 80s rockers that you have never associated with, let alone friends with, then you're wound a little too tight for everyday living. Go out and breath some fresh air.

P.S. It's culprit not culperate.

3) I never said rockers looked cool i used that word in a "what ever the hell cool is" context.

Actually i think hair bands cop the most flak & people have a habbit of singling them out in particular, but forgeting just how stupid every other kind of celebrity looked at the time. I thought all those other popstars & celebs looked even worse. One i remember was when Neghbours star turned popstar Kylie Minogue doing a version Locomotion, LOL. People from the U.S. probably don't know what i'm talking about but if you're from thre U.K. you probably will. Anyway not only was the song & the music god awful, but what she was wearing & her hair were grotesque.

It was cool in the 80s to show a little chest hair -or in some cases alot. ;D Now, thanks to Queer Eye For The Str8 Guy and metrosexualism, body hair is outa outa outa! And so it should be, IMO!

Actually Slash was the coolest guy in that band. I think that picture looks OK. He found that hat at a pawn shop & he wears it like that with his hair over his face because originally he's quite a shy person & when he did that he could focus just on playing his guitar & not have to look at the audience.

Ewwww metrosexualism, those s.n.a.g. sort of guys are total pusses & phonies. Their hidden agender behind that facade is same as every other guy, deep down they just wanna get laid, but at least regular guys are straight up about it. Besides if a woman want's a guy that acts like a woman then maybe she should become a lesbian, because guys are guys & we're gonna act like guys. It's the nature of the beast. All you'll hear from those metrosexual guys is them crapping on & trying to convince women of how artiststic or how sensitive they are & all you'll hear from a regular guy is the sound of a belt buckle hitting the floor LOL.
Also i've got nothing against gay people, but how bout Straight Eye For The Queer Guy, where we interupt their daily lives & turn it upside down & show them how to do an engine rebuild or something like that LOL. Why is there so much emphisis on feminising men these days or as George Carlin puts it "the constant pussification" of men through popular culture. It's total bullsh!t & any guy that shares my attitude on this matter is usually seen as a dinosaur or a caveman, how lame. Hmmmm maybe this discussion is a little too in depth for this thread, but either way it needs to be said.

I liked the cartoon parody of his Wham! days in the "Shoot The Dog" video clip. ;)

I can't believe I didn't pick up on how GAY they were!  I mean, remember the "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" video?  What about the coyly titled Make It Big album?  Heh heh!

As in, "Naughty, Naughty," and "St. Elmo's Fire" theme song.  I was always trying to figure out what '60s band he used to be in!

Huey Lewis
He wasn't "gross" so much as he reminded me of a sit-com dad.  The kind of dad who's always trying to be cool, but embarrasses his kids because he's really a dork.

This guy has always freaked me out though I quite like his voice, it's just his appearance and the fact he's a really tall guy too makes it seem more freaky for some reason.

:) I love WHAM.. sure the video clip for "wake me up before you go go" was totally pink and pretty but it just somehow suited the song perfectly.... i mean.. George Micheal did have a way better career in WHAM then he did with his solo career.... maybe it was to do with the fact that he isnt cute anymore...  :-*...

Anywayz.. WHAM rocked... best 80s pop group... however is now the reason for even "prettier" boy bands today...  :-\\
