80's

Tonight's 80's @8 Feature Video is a cover that did better than the original on the charts. Quiet Riot remade Slade's 1973 hit "Cum On Feel The Noize" in 1983. While Slade just barely cracked the Top 100, Quiet Riot made it all the way to number 5.

Tonight's 80's @ 8 Feature Video is one of Sammy Hagar's first with Van Halen. "Love Walks In" made it to #4 on the Mainstream Rock Charts in 1986.

Tonight's 80's @ 8 Feature Video is the biggest hit by Kingdom Come called "Get It On". The band got together in 1987 and released this song in '88 with pretty good success.

Tonight's 80's @ 8 Feature Video is from just outside the 80's...1992...and Def Leppard's smash album Adrenalize. "Let's Get Rocked" incorporated ground-breaking computer-generated effects for the early 90's.

Tonight's 80's @ 8 Feature Video comes from 1989. Poison's version of "Your Mama Don't Dance" was originally done by Loggin's & Messina. It was also covered in the 80's by Y&T.

Tonight's 80's @ 8 Feature Video takes you to the swamp with Warrant's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" from 1991.  Originally, this was to be the title track off a soon-to-be-named album.  When the label told the band they needed another song, Jani Lane banged out "Cherry Pie"  in about 15 minutes, and it became not only the album's biggest hit...

With all the snow forecasted for our area, tonight's 80's @ 8 Feature Video will take you to the sun, surf, sand and sights of small bikinis.

The boys from L.A. headline our 80's @ 8 Feature Video tonight with "Sweet Child Of Mine". It's Guns N' Roses only Billboard #1 hit off of the 1987 disc Appetite For Destruction.

Tonight's 80's @ 8 Feature Video comes with a bonus. The first video of Def Leppard's "Photograph" is the official version with the band.

Here's a clip of the Austin native performing "Look At Little Sister" at Austin City Limits in 1989.

It's tough these days to find something FREE. Radio is free, but not TV. You can find a free lunch from time to time. Maybe free meat on Mondays. But rarely will you find a free concert! Every year, the largest music downloading company, iTunes, showcases some of their most popular artists in a 31 day, 62 band free concert...

So when I was a kid growing up in the 80's, one of my most favorite shows on TV was 'V The Visitors'. If you remember, it was a pretty low budget miniseries that involved aliens coming to earth. The special effects were pretty cool (for the time) and the actors were mostly unknowns...
