I have been watching VH1: Behind The Music over the past few days, and I have come to realise that they just don't make bands like they used to. I first watched the Bon Jovi one from how they began as a band and what they were like through the 80's when hair bands were at their peak. I then went on to watch Aerosmith, Guns n' Roses, Poison and Red Hot Chili Peppers, after watching all these great bands, i wish i was around when they really made a difference to the music industry and teenagers of the time. In my opinion the 80's was the best time to grow up around music because everything was so different, the hair, the fashion, the music was all an image that made sense for that era.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Guns n' Roses
Steven & Joe
You have got to love Brett Michaels commitment to his hair <3
Music today is not as good as what I perceive the 80's rock music to be but I am still holding out hope that one day I will find a modern band that expresses the same passion for sex, drugs and rock n roll as the bands I hold up as THE rock bands of the 80's. Mostly they are still going strong today; all be it with less hair and toned down fashion but all the same they are what i think of when I think of true rock n roll bands. I am going to watch Motley Crue and Def Leppard behind the music tonight :) as I am now infatuated with bands of the 80's, it just seemed so sexy then to be in a band or be a 'band-aid'- in the words of Penny Lane herself.
