boys of fall

holy crap, where has this thread gone? We WERE talking about some FFDP and Killswitch along with some REAL metal bands. Def Leopard and company were too busy examining their own packages in their gay tights! Next thing you know, someone is going to say mullets are still kinda cool!

Def Leopard and Company ARE real Metal Bands. The original ones, in fact, that so many "metal" (and I use that term lightly) bands model themselves after. Or, they just end up screaming random profanities into a microphone and call it music. :?

The hell is wrong with some people. :brick:

I listen to death metal and all the extreme metal types but I still love 80s metal. I dont see how anyone can not like the Crue, Slaughter, Spread Eagle, ect. Poison's "ride the wind" is one of the best songs of all time :shrug:

I don't see how anyone can like those bands. The only one that is even slightly good was Def Leopard. They might have been real cool back in the day, but time has a way changing things. Similar to mutton chops and the Conway Twitty helmet hair. Just because it was ONCE cool does not make it currently cool. I remember listening a little to those bands. I remember music videos where guys place their backs to each and sing into the same microphone. I believe I was listening to NWA during those years.

Didn't that chick on the hood of the car in the Whitesnake videos date a pro baseball player and then domestically batter him????

Yep! Her name is Tawny Kitaen. She also played Tom Hanks' wife-to-be in Bachelor Party and was one of O.J. Simpson's love interests back late 80's-early 90's.

Pretty funny there. From a Chesney football video, to death metal, and political rock. Oh well, I guess thats what makes the world go round.

Now...onto the mullet comment...they are coming back, as sick as it is. In fact, take a close look at some of our Cowboy Football players this fall.

And definitely Five Finger Death Punch and some of the good ole beats of Metallica and ACDC. Our Kids voted all these songs in. Check'em out. They hold me over till football season!

Nice list. I'm not a fan of Creed, but I definitely see a theme. I believe you need some Demon Hunter there too This is easily my favorite Red song, though it's definitely not a pump-up song:

As far as Christian Rock goes, I'm friends with Pete Nelson of the Kry (who just had a short reunion for Heaven Fest). He's one of the most awesome people I've ever met.

Pretty good song, but I don't get how it pumps anybody up... I need something heavier/faster to get my blood going.

I wasn't suggesting it gets me pumped up with adrenaline, more meant that the song triggers that excitement that comes with the start of a new football season, much in the same manner that the cool crisp mornings start hinting at fall gets me excited for the start of the season.

Some of you guys might like my good buddies band allegaeon. They just got signed. I'm not the biggest fan of the genre but I support this band.

I like it. Could use some clean vocals on the chorus though

I don't see how anyone can like those bands. The only one that is even slightly good was Def Leopard. They might have been real cool back in the day, but time has a way changing things.

Who said anything about cool? I could give a shit about being trendy. I like it for the music.

Hell yeah. The music rocks (pun intended) from the 80s. Now a days, not so much (unless it's one of the older bands that are touring like AC/DC in Denver a couple years ago or KISS in Cheyenne for Frontier Days).
