yeah i guess. i guess what i meant is you could get away with wearing a crue shirt. get your ass kicked wearing a warrent, white lion, poison shirt. know what i mean?BurningDoom wrote:Motley Crue is like the definition of a hair metal band.

Re: 80s Hair Metal Bands - Retrospective
Not my bands of choice exactly (especially Poison). But I would rock a Ratt, W.A.S.P., Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, whatever 80s band I liked t-shit with no shame.stickem wrote:yeah i guess. i guess what i meant is you could get away with wearing a crue shirt. get your ass kicked wearing a warrent, white lion, poison shirt. know what i mean?BurningDoom wrote:Motley Crue is like the definition of a hair metal band.

Re: 80s Hair Metal Bands - Retrospective
Maybe in the 80s, but I'm surprised how often I'll see kids in Highschool now rocking aviator sunglasses and Poison shirt now. Funny how the trends come back around...stickem wrote:get your ass kicked wearing a warrent, white lion, poison shirt. know what i mean?
Re: 80s Hair Metal Bands - Retrospective
Yeah, so you know what you must do! Shoulder check them into a locker, rip the shirt off, kick their asses, and then tell them you're going old school by getting into the 1980s metal spirit. Then walk away singing some shit like Safety Dance or something.Metal Jesus wrote:Maybe in the 80s, but I'm surprised how often I'll see kids in Highschool now rocking aviator sunglasses and Poison shirt now.

Re: 80s Hair Metal Bands - Retrospective
Being of the age, I can say its frowned upon unless you are truly a fan. I get pissed seeing people wear Asking Alexandria shirts one day then wearing a Poison shirt the next, despite not knowing one Poison song...stickem wrote:well, yeah i meant back then. now it's retro so it's cool i guess.Metal Jesus wrote:Maybe in the 80s, but I'm surprised how often I'll see kids in Highschool now rocking aviator sunglasses and Poison shirt now.

Re: 80s Hair Metal Bands - Retrospective
Just to set the record straight here, since everyone's bringing up high-school kids wearing the t-shirts: I'm turning 30 this year. Not a high school kid. And I still feel no shame wearing these t-shirts. Heck, I have no shame wearing Avengers and Spider-Man t-shirts.BurningDoom wrote:Not my bands of choice exactly (especially Poison).
