We almost forgot, March 11th 1983, Bang Your Head! These guys helped open the floodgates of Hair Metal Music and crazy videos!
March 17th 1979, Bad Company gives us this classic! They used to crank this at the concrete skate park, at the time it kind of seemed like a new-wavish hard rock song with some of the special effects. I looked it up and Rogers added some synth-sounding guitar notes so I wasn't crazy after all these years. This official version seems a tad slower then the radio edit which also gives it a more mellow vibe.
One of the dumbest videos of all time? One of the greatest songs of all time? Black Flag Slip It In! I saw the Flag a million times after a hard day of skateboarding on my 1/2 pipe, the local punk rats rented a university campus hall a few blocks away for punk shows, Black Flag was always welcome!
I had a beat up Triumph Spitfire, held together with duck tape and cross-threaded USA Bolts with a tape deck and I loved cranking this song, I'll have to look but I bet I still have that cassette!
34 friggin years ago today, Great White released ....Twice Shy. I've seen these guys live a million times, always a Great show! With so many singles, these bands could go 2-3 years between albums and you'd still hear a song or two.
Rush released Grace Under Pressure on this day in 84, I always loved this obscure "techno" song. Check out the video, yep that's the 80's!
