I mean, a "Let's Get Rocked" reference would even be pushing it a bit, but in-depth knowledge of their videos? That's as weird as a one-armed man being arrested for spousal abuse.paperback readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05200353078639769169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-56613799524666187802008-08-22T21:18:00.000-04:002008-08-22T21:18:00.000-04:00I also had a crush on Joe Elliott.

The first DL records blow away anything they've done since.<BR/><BR/>On my first trip to Atlanta, I went to meet an old friend at a bar down here who introduced me to bunch of guys in a band that were playing the club that night. As I shook the guitar players hand, he offered me this riddle, "What has nine arms and sucks?"<BR/><BR/>I laughed for alnight at that one...Tony Alvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015995902834461332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-55514925845103218872008-08-22T06:03:00.000-04:002008-08-22T06:03:00.000-04:00They were always on the "outskirts of metal" as fa...They were always on the "outskirts of metal" as far as I was concerned.

I wish that Def Leppard made more vids like that instead of the straight performance ones that they normally did.<BR/><BR/>Oh and by the way BeckEye, you need to quit lying to your readers. :-)<BR/>You and I both know that I don't have to pull out a video made for the U.K. market to stump you. The last time I checked, both the videos for Maxi Priest's "Close To You" and Elton John's "The Club At the End of the Street" got played in the States.

Totally without irony, too. They were never given proper credit for being a great Queen/T.Rex style glam pop band because they got caught up in the hair metal thing, but they were great. Let those metal fingers fly, Beck!words...words...words...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02441563723665841808noreply@blogger.com
