Seen them many times, one of my favourite groups. Strangely enough the last time I saw them in london a few years ago they were the best sounding they had been. 1 Quote
TheRev Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) I'm going to stop looking at this thread, there's too much cheesy 80s hair metal and it's reminiding me of how much time the teenage me spent sat in our drummers living room watching Raw Power. Edited July 31, 2020 by TheRev Quote

But in terms of the thread title, the Crue being 'inspired' by Big Trouble in Little China, and as for the 'fight' scene 🤣 Honestly don't see that one as bad. Obviously it is supposed to be stupid, so within the time and remit of the group, seems quite good. 1 Quote

They couldn't have been serious, surely..? Geez, but I hate all of that fake Big Hair! Ain't gonna say I never went there, but at least all I did was have it cut. This is how it came out of my head. [Caveat: This photo is from 1979. I'm now wearing my hair on the inside. 😋] 1 Quote

Caught the original lineup several times, am on the Earth Inferno bits/b-sides from Wolves and the (apparently McCoy-approved) bootleg from Brum a few weeks after... last saw them at a festival at the NEC in 2009, with Prodigy guitarist etc.. OK they could play the stuff but no real feeling. Did see a couple of things never before witnessed though: a *five* person high flower-tower and... McCoy smiled (for a second)! Quote

Shows girls can be as delusional about their talents as boys. 6.17 - it's just very unkind to encourage someone with special needs to think he's a singer - really, and I'm not being sarcastic. 7.49 - My lyric of the week - "I have big tits and I like politics" Oh please.... 😟 1 Quote

ahpook Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Here's something from my youth. Great song, but what's going on here ? Have they all got stiff necks ? Maybe they were painting the guitarist's living room ceiling the day before and have got sore necks from all that overhead work. Lens seems a bit grimy too. Producer got bored and went off for a snog halfway through. Hell, it was the 80s. It was indie. Edited July 31, 2020 by ahpook Quote

Immortal are a good source of silliness, but Call Of The Wintermoon still tops the lot of theirs. This is, unfortunately, the best quality version I could find...

One of them looks a bit like that Michael Jackson. Go back to sleep." Oh yes, MJ's "Thriller". Great song but "interesting" video to say the least. However, no one can beat the real deal 😎 2 Quote

I can't remember a single one of their in-show videos that was this bad. That was the style back then and they were just keeping up with the fashion of the day. Maybe because i'm a Rush fan i'm separating older fashion and styles from just silly looking VID clips from over the years. I just remember when they came out and really liking them Some of the clips of other bands posted on the thread have been quite laughable. Dave Edited August 3, 2020 by dmccombe7 1 Quote
prowla Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) This is one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite albums, but some say the video wrecked his career and led to people deliberately mispronouncing his surname.

Bolo Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 I browsed through the 'dance music' thread earlier and I must admit most videos there are too awkward to be funny. Quote

Not sure that the video is entirely responsible; certainly looks like it helped though. Edited August 4, 2020 by paul_5 Quote
