It has got to be that it glorified straight-up bad-arse, cool sluts.

Yes, I am watching Metal Mayhem.

80's chicks were awesome. They loved them some hair metal.

It really was the greatest decade. Imaging going to a rock show(I'm talking Motley, Ratt, etc, not thrash at that time-Metallica,Megadeth,Slayer) & it is 50% hot women. That was the 80's. It was an amazing time. Women actually listened to & loved rock back then. What a concept.

Yes indeed. I average about a concert or two a month and decent looking women are few and far between. I'm sure the Maroon 5 types still bring em in though, of course. Not much talent at a Crowbar show.

sluts.

That was exactly what drew me back into it in the late 80s. All hard rock before that period was mostly a dude ranch situation but it eventually became the preferred music of tube dress-wearing girls. Stripper wannabes. I had distanced myself from it when I was a kid but then I got dragged to a multi-band club show and was blown away by the amount of girls there. They were drunk, they were hot and they were all horned up over the guys in the bands. It was a dream set up for the consolation prize guys in the audience. Ducks in a barrel.

F that.

I'll take hair metal over rap, hip hop bro country, and any of today's pop. All day every day.

100% right. My first concert ever. RATT at the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport. The amount of hot women there was off the charts. It was a guaranteed STD if you got laid that night.

My first concert was Ratt opening up for Billy Squire New Orleans Lake Front Arena 1984.
Ratt blew Squire off the stage.Hot women in spandex everywhere.
Van Halen 1984 tour Biloxi Ms. Fine arse women everywhrre.

I caught AC/DC Fly On Wall tour Biloxi Ms summer 1985.

Caught Motley Crue for first time New Orleans Lake front Arena Dec 1985 Theatre of Pain tour with Autograph opening for them. More fine women in spandex exposing their breast.
I made a point to catch the Crue whenever thry came to town after that show.

Wow. You saw some great shows. I try to explain to younger people how amazing, fun, & huge rock shows were back then in the 80's. They will never understand the greatness of the entire scene back then. That is a time that will never ever be repeated.

I saw a ton of great shows during that period, too. The economics of the music business today is so different. Back then you'd pay $7-$10 for a band's new cassette, and you could get GA floor tickets to see the same band at ARENA shows for ~$20. Try that today.
