"We built this city on Rock and Roll" by 'Starship'

or

"Jump" by 'Van Halen'

I would argue that "Jump" is the worst of these 2 songs;
thats how much I hate Van Halen. The Keyboard solo/bridge in Jump (which is preceded by one of the most horrific guitar solos you'll ever hear) is what edges out "we built this city...".

my dear jaysus that starship group i wouldnt class as hairmetal:eek: neither europe , they just had the look they didnt have the sound.

i totally agree with you about those songs they make kix light my fuse(i actually thought they were a piss take:D:D) sound like ****ing reign in blood.

i really think that you have the proper hairmetal and the posers mixed up.

as i said if it gets played on fm104 its ****e............jump by van halen, unskinny bop by poison, we built this city,nothing else matters by metallica, sweet child etc all total ****E.

van halen are great though, to be big you have to have radio songs!!
if you read the crue autobiography nikki sixx says that they had to put these radio friendly songs on to please the record company.

but yes i agree with starship being aload of donkey cum

Wow you really hate Van Halen if you think Starship are better, well then you'll love this clip.

Apparently the synths were set on the wrong midi speed meaning the guitars were way out of tune with it

Hilarious

RATFLMAO still better than We build this city though

"They've just got the wrong bit. They think that being fast and loud is the whole thing and it isn't. The guitar solos are not really difficult for a guitar player, it's just playing scales. To feel a solo and bend into it & I mean Hendrix is the best guitarist you've ever seen in your life. And he learned from people like Buddy Guy, Lightnin' Hopkins and people like that inspired Hendrix. To be influenced by something, you're gonna have to play it the same."

-Lemmy on hairmetal. (A.K.A. 'God')

Lemmy could just as easily have been talking about these 'real' metal you like. It holds just as true.

Even more convenient is the youtube tag button second from the right on the tool bar of the reply panel:

get the id from youtube like:
Y_i_HVBD9ks

copy it into the reply panel and highlight it with your mouse. Click the youtube button and the tags magically appear wrapped around the id as so*
[YOUTUBE*]Y_i_HVBD9ks[/YOUTUBE*]

resulting in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_i_HVBD9ks

what a time to be alive:)

Yes, an ability to use basic discussion board enhancements and the sharing of such know how marks us out as nerds. Going by your previous posts you could not be described as a nerd. For those reasons:rolleyes:

I suppose your another Motley Crue fan who thinks they are the best thing since slice bread, c@ck-rock that sold over 20 million albums on their debut!!!!! Appetite happens to be nominated every year in any top album charts . . . . . . . . but i'd say you have good taste alri!!!!!

Eh no. For want of overuse of the exclamation mark (LOL!!!!!!!!!! etc) my tastes are far heavier besides what the f*ck do you know about my tastes? Look, every pie-ball,jock and their gay dog loves G'n'R. Because they're "safe". And besides, it's just one album. Out of how many? For it's singles alone. I.just.dont.get.what.they.jay-azz.is.all.about.

no you showed everybody your ignorance to metal genres, and a inability to seperate the real hairmetal format from the fake manufactured format.
then just discussed what you think is **** and what is good..............in fact i think ou just discussed everything that is **** not what you find good.......................probably says it all tbh.:)


lol its very true about GnR, every spiceboy and oompah loompa likes them because they are "safe" and nobody will tell them they have a **** music taste(****ing insecure gob****es), its these morons that cause the appetite album to be still successful, that ad the fact its 50% cheaper than any other motley album or most other albums.

Nice stuff, brilliant druming reminiscent of Ian Paice, jazzy and brisk but super tight, worth being a nerd to see that. However whats with the duck tape on the guitars top strings, he should have bought himself a bass :pac:
