Aye I looked at the ticket prices earlier. Fuck that.

 

[Swansea93]

Aye I looked at the ticket prices earlier. f**k that.

I couldn’t believe the prices, they’ll do well to shift them, you’ll probably pick them up for £20 a day or so before.

Why would anyone want to? Has everyone on PS hit sh!t in their ears?

Look out Itchy the music police has spoken. :lol:

I'm genuinely astounded! Motley Crue is probably the most talked about band on here, and now Kiss is a thing?! Genuinely, FFS. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I’m trying to think, is there anyone from that era that’s any good? I know Kiss are technically a seventies act and are like an American T-Tex, Mud, Sweet type novelty act but they aligned themselves with all those 80’s hair farmers like Motley Crue, Jon Bovi, GnR and all those other cheese-fests.

Serious question, has even one of those misogynistic poodle perm bands stood the test of time?

Well the three you mentioned are still filling stadiums and arenas at extortionate prices so I’d say yes.

Slightly glib, no?

Musically? You think Kiss and Motley Crue stand up musically? GnR may have transcended the era/genre but surely the other two are hype over substance. Serious question, and I had my share of hair metal records in the day, but which one of them can be considered anything but nostalgia at best?

 

[Ronald Parp]

I probably should add that there’s nothing wrong with nostalgia for nostalgia sake, but what’s the appeal if you’re not a 14 year boy and it’s not 1986?

Ah well music is subjective so you can only have an opinion not facts. I still listen to all those bands regularly and many others from that scene. GnR are probably the ones I’ve listened to least cos let’s face it they’re the very definition of a one album wonder. What an album though. I love all that stuff amongst a lot of other rock so yes for me they certainly stand the test of time. It’s not for you, I get that. And that’s fine too of course. We don’t all have to like the same stuff thankfully.
