[QUOTE="Dog Faced God, post: 280276, member: 4642"] Metal bands roughly as, or more, obscure than Shotgun Messiah: Crimson Glory, Lizzy Borden, Pretty Boy Floyd, Kix, Dangerous Toys, Savatage, Grim Reaper, Overkill, Saxon, Saigon Kick, Manowar, Vinnie Vincent Invasion, E-Z-O, Loudness, King Diamond, Chastain, Guy-Mann-Dude, Fastway, Accept, Krokus, Metal Church. I'm sure that there were some girls who listened to Motley Crue and duran duran and depeche mode. However, if you're playing a guy who is a big metal-head, you wouldn't be caught dead listening to duran duran or depeche mode. Duran Duran and Depeche Mode is for fags. In the late eighties there was a big division between glam rock and heavy metal (and the many sub-genres thereof). Fans of bands like Motley Crue, Ratt and Kix were looked down on by fans of 'heavier' bands like Metallica, Megadeth and Overkill. I graduated from High School in 1992, so that kind of makes me a child of the late 80's I guess. Said High School was in a small mountain town in Colorado. I was (and still am) a huge metalhead. Here's what I remember doing with my friends, and in my downtime: shooting pool and playing pinball at the bowling alley trying to find someone over 21 to buy us beer driving out of town to start a small bonfire and drink beer hackey sack (a.k.a. Stoner Aerobics) on the courthouse lawn cruising the gut in my 74 Vega listening to metal playing guitar oh yeah... D&D I usually wore jeans with as many frayed holes as possible (never just cut your jeans with scissors... cut them, run them through the dryer once or twice, use a pencil or a pen-cap to pull the denim apart ... better yet just wear them until they're full of holes), sometimes over black spandex pants. My favorite t-shirt was a black t-shirt with the grim reaper painted on the front. Usually wore a black leather motorcycle jacket (wummer or winter), sometimes with a jeans jacket vest (with a Metallica backpatch) over the top. More often that not wore motorcycle or engineer boots. Suggested movies: The Light of Day The River's Edge Trick or Treat Decline of Western Civilization part II: The Metal Years Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
