Headlining Act (5/11)

Reputation

  1. I really hoped Jon and Richie would reunite if not for an album, a tour... One last hoorah for the fan's sake. If they announced a "New Jersey" tour and played the same set list as they did in 1988 / 1989 they could name their price and I'd be there. But Jon doesn't need the money, and he wrote off his 80's fans long ago. Fairly certain that ship has sailed.
  2. First six seconds were awesome... steady downhill from there.
  3. I've been a fan of these guys dating back to 1989. Not sure how I originally missed Indiscreet in 1986 as it's proved to be one of my favorites from the genre and I was listening to music pretty much 24/7 back then as an 18 year-old. Of course it was hard for any band to get into the rotation of the cassette deck in my Celica the summer and fall of 1986 when 5150, Raised On Radio and Third Stage were literally being worn-out, and then when Slippery was released sometime shortly before Christmas... Forget about it, no one else stood a chance. This new track doesn't suck by any means, but it's certainly not "Other Side of Midnight."
  4. I'm not normally one who enjoys a modern rock band's 80's approach, but I like AT 1980 quite a bit and I'll certainly buy this one once released on CD format. I mentioned on the other page that the vocals remind me a lot of Danny Wilde (Dream A Little Dream soundtrack), and I'll stick by that comment here. Really good stuff.
  5. I vividly remember the Surrender-Saga way back when. Wasn't there a HH member from Russia who aided in the search? Not trying to change the subject regarding Champagne Blonde, but the mention of Surrender brought back vivid memories. Can't believe that was nearly 20 years ago.
  6. First I've heard of these guys. A bit of a Danny Wilde vibe on vocals for me. I like it.
  7. I'll continue to pound the Blue Tears drum as long as even one person will listen. Anytime anyone (not as on-top of our music as we are) asks "Can you tell me about other bands from that era I never heard that you think I'd like?" I always push the BT debut. It's absolutely magical. Like a walk back in time to 1986 / 1987. The cassette tape would have fit so nicely in the glovebox of my 1976 Celica along-side Slippery, Hysteria, Raised On Radio, 5150 and Eat 'Em... all of which got worn-out by me back then. Just a bit too late.
  8. Sucks. Walkin' The Razor's Edge got a lot of play in my various cassette decks back in 1984. Unfortunately, those of us who were in junior high and high school in the 80's when "our" music was dominating the airwaves are now in our mid 50's... which means most of our rock heroes from that timeframe are at least 60, and many are older (and others much older). We will continue to see RIP threads from this point forward WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too often. It really has me thinking about my own mortality. Graduation night in June 1986 really doesn't seem that long ago to me. Obviously it was.
  9. One of the best albums of our genre. If anything, the gal cover would have helped it sell even more cassette tapes. Can't tell you how many cassettes I purchased back then based on the album covers alone.
  10. Oh gosh. I just heard the live version of the new track. Sounds like something from Destination Anywhere. It's a pass for me.
  11. I have ZERO hope for this. And I've told you all before... from 1986 - 1993, I was one of the biggest Bon Jovi fans in the USA.
  12. Always loved these guys. FEEL IT AGAIN is an absolute 80's gem and should be included on every greatest hits cassette tape compilation
  13. I know we can all name HUNDREDS of really great albums form some really great bands that were simply released too late to cause a worldwide stir, but right at the top of my HUNDREDS list is the Blue Tears debut. Imagine if that one had been released the summer of 1986 (like Cinderella's Night Songs, for instance) on PolyGram Records... and then imagine if it was Blue Tears who opened for Bon Jovi on the SWW Tour instead of or in addition to Cinderella.
  14. This song (original version) is very near and dear to my heart... I played the VisionQuest soundtrack and then Raised On Radio pretty much non-stop my senior year of high school and the summer following graduation (1985 - 1986). The warm summer nights now more than 37 years in the rearview mirror... Still seems so close I can almost touch it. This remix is dark and brooding. Vocals are still Perry, but everything else makes this one a depressing listen for me. Like rain on the 4th. of July.
  15. Looking at those song titles, it seems Mick really is ******-up over this whole thing. Sucks. Another band from my high school days that meant so much to me back then. None of us know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but I'm guessing Mick did get the short end of the stick, here.
