anytime i hear "beautiful girls" i get that image of my head of chris farley and adam sandler doing an SNL ad for "schmidt's gay."
one of the great fake SNL ads of all time!
Big hair bands...the memories...the music...the tight black leather pants. Pour some sugar on me.....
i dont know if i would qualify G&R as a 'hair band' cause they really had talent for awhile.
and the cult DEFINATELY wasnt a 'hair band'!
beautiful girls = van halen
lil devil = cult
photo = def

fire woman = cult
mr. brownstone = G&R

kickstart = crue
talk dirty = poison

bad name = bon jovi
do you still have a thing for axel?
When you said Hair Bands, I immediately thought of the bands that girls wear in their hair, and then when you mentioned the 80's power ballads I thought of 80's rocker women with the huge hair and those gaudy bands in their hair....but then I figured out what you were really talking about:) I'm a little slow....
jamwall: would you believe i haven't seen that ad?
i'm a little sheltered.
queen of sass: nothing like wanting to be whisked away by a guy wearing more makeup than you do, is there?
bricotrout: still considered hair bands, whether they have talent or not.
you can't tell me ian astbury and billy duffy didn't get a little hairy.
(they are one of my favorites, by the way- go ahead and start adding little tick marks to the list.)
and no, i wasn't referring to the thompson twins- a good band, but just not hairy enough.
sibling: never had a thing for axl.
kodijack: ooh! a new face! welcome.
let me guess- part of the fondness for whitesnake was due to tawny kitaen rolling all over coverdale's car in one of their videos, wasn't it?
remember when she was on the new wkrp? yeah, that lasted.
but i digress......
jo: that's too funny. don't feel too bad- when i searched google (just to see what they'd come up with), the first couple of results were for elastic hair bands.
I swear that if that's all they played on the radio, I would kill myself immediately.
i thought you liked him.....oh well.
magnetic [power ballad] poetry:
big dictionary/shout it out/you give love a bad name
mr. brownstone/talk dirty to me/lay your hands on me/shake me/kickstart my heart
bathroom wall/photograph/look but you can't touch
don't go away mad/pretty tied up/fire woman/
brilliant, madge!
Love the list, but I have to admit I am not a Mr. Brownstone fan, although I am a huge GnR fan. Appetite was a top 5 record of the last 25 years. But I like it more for it's "B-sides".
'I think about you'
'My Michelle'
Man I feel old.
don't shelter yourself duff here it is!
one of the great classic SNL fake ads!
that's interesting, i think they changed the music track. probably because of possible litigation.
anyway, its a take-off on the 80s beer ads.
Lord, I feel old now!
1. Van Halen
3. Def Leppard
7. The Cult
8. Guns n Roses
10. Motley Crue
12. Poison (?)
15. Def Leppard
16. Bon Jovi
20. Bon Jovi
The rest I could probably look up on Google, but I just don't feel like it now.
