Mark Alan — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 23:10:03 +0000

“Bad Medicine” came off the New Jersey cd and rocketed to #1 in 1988. Other songs that hit the charts from the disc were “Lay Your Hands On Me”, “I’ll Be There For You“, and “Born To Be My Baby”. Must have been nice to be a glam rock band in the 80′s!

Throughout music history, there have been stories of bands that recorded songs they never thought would be hits. “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds is one of those songs. The band had to be encouraged by their label, A&M, to record it after The Fixx, Billy Idol, and more had turned it down. [...]

80′s @ 8 Feature Video – Patience [VIDEO]

Chris Chapman — Tue, 08 May 2012 00:50:48 +0000

What makes “Patience” really cool from Guns N’ Roses is there are only 3 instruments used…all acoustic guitars. This isn’t true if you’ve ever seen this song performed live by GNR, as the drums and keyboard are used along with electric guitars. Axl Rose actually did the whistling himself for this song which made it [...]

80′s @ 8 Feature Video – Dick Clark [VIDEO]

Chris Chapman — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:14:57 +0000

Tonight’s 80′s @ 8 video has little to do with my typical 80′s video. But with the passing of Dick Clark, it’s hard to think about any other individual who made music and the artists who sang them, regardless of the style or format, more mainstream. There are a few people in this world that [...]

80′s @ 8 Feature Video – Angel [VIDEO]

Chris Chapman — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:50:12 +0000

In 1987, Aerosmith released Permanent Vacation and it spawned hits like “Dude Looks Like A Lady”, “Rag Doll”, and “Angel”. “Angel” was co-written by Steven Tyler and is by far not one of his favorite Aerosmith tunes. In fact, in 1990, he said in an interview that the song drove him crazy after hearing it [...]

Chris Chapman — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:50:25 +0000

From the wacked-out world of Ted Nugent came this 1980 song…”Wango Tango” off the Scream Dream album. While it never received much acclaim (it only reached #86 on the Billboard Hot 100), it became a staple at all Nugent shows. It also garnered very little love from Guitar World Magazine as they listed it at [...]

Chris Chapman — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 00:50:32 +0000

From the 1983 smash album Pyromania, “Photograph” was a number 1 hit for Def Leppard. Although you wouldn’t know it from the lyrics, the song is a tribute to Marilyn Monroe…hence the photo of her throughout the video. I found the un-edited video for you tonight. The edited one replaced the knife with a black [...]

It was on this very day in 1986 that Sammy Hagar made his first live appearance with Van Halen. The show was in Shreveport, Louisiana at the Hirsch Memorial Colisuem. Their first song was the cover of The Kink’s “You Really Got Me”, which surprised me as that was a DLR/Van Halen staple. The full [...]
