I know someone who is under the misguided belief that hairbands

[mcctatas]

DON'T suck. In fact, she is actually downloading monster ballads and fantasizing about spandex clad young loins. Is there any help for her?

[southpaw]

1. Sounds like jus_the_facts

haven't seen her around in a while... seein' as how I haven't been in the lounge in the last few decades.

[mcctatas]

2. Midlo...

needs HELP!

[Richardo]

3. I swear to god I thought you meant:

Took me a minute. :dunce:

[Sanity Claws]

17. Me too

I'm wearing a hairband now. Your kind of hairband.

[GoCubsGo]

27. Me, as well

Only that's a headband. These are hairbands:

[marzipanni]

43. Me three

I was afraid this was that old Hillary put-down.
Occasionally I use the headbands that are stretchy like the hairbands.

Are "head bands" of the musical persuasion those that write lyrics that make us think?

[Richardo]

44. Head bands?

:shrug:

[LeftyMom]

4. It's time to stage an intervention and take away her Bon Jovi cassettes and AquaNet.

I feel bad for the Midlets, more than anything. It's not their fault their mother is like this.

[mcctatas]

5. the children are always the ones to suffer...

I am just afraid that some night, fueled by another Bunco loss, too much Franzia and a cacophony of Monster Ballads, she may do something horrible like make them get perms and replace their nice normal clothes with spandex :cry:

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Cassettes? That is SOOOOO 2007.

:eyes:

[Deep13]

39. Aquanet? My sister used so much of that shit in the '80s...

...that a hole in the ozone layer followed her around.

[Midlodemocrat]

6. Psst. mcctatas? Over here.

Look down.






















You? --------- DTM. Hair bands are teh awesome.

[mcctatas]

9. pfffffftttttt.....

You kill me off more than a drummer for Spinal Tap :P

you and your hairbands, Dokken and Winger and Whitesnake and Vixen, Slaughter and Danger and Poison and Trixter

[TZ]

8. Yeah...she just told me that *this* is sexy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zm5c7mKjrQ

:evilgrin:

[Midlodemocrat]

11. Yup. Very sexy.

[flvegan]

10. She admitted to "loving" the band Extreme.

Lost cause.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Says the man who drummed for them.

:eyes:

[flvegan]

13. Shut up.

[TZ]

14. I think that insult "Warrant"s a response..

Don't you? :rofl:

[flvegan]

15. She's got a fever, and the only cure is a big dose of Jani Lane.

[mcctatas]

16. OMG!

is this true? Well leftymom does have a thing for musicians, ya know like:



mmmmmmm, Henry :9

[TZ]

18. He looks PERFECT for Midlo actually....

:rofl:

[mcctatas]

19. she will get Henry out of my cold dead hands!

she can have those hairband types, henry is all mine :P

[LeftyMom]

20. Oooh, burn!

<3

[Midlodemocrat]

21. Thank you, LM. I know you appreciate greatness when you see it.

flvegan? Not so much.


:rofl:

[Capn Sunshine]

22. Don't these guys rent the attic room from you McTatas?

perfect cause they're always on the road, man

[jobycom]

23. It's okay, Mcctatas. We know it's you. You are with friends.

:hug:

[mcctatas]

24. while I confess a brief flirtation with Warrant back in HS...

I was saved from further depravity by discovering the glory that was grunge :P

[Midlodemocrat]

25. Grunge. Ew. So, um, not clean. Hence the name. Ick.

[mcctatas]

28. ahem...

give me these guys:

any day of the week :headbang:

[bluesbassman]

26. Egads woman! Grunge was just for guys who couldn't afford decent instruments.

Anybody can make that noise with a $99 Strat knockoff and a Crate amp. Just stick the guitar up real close to the amp and beat the hell out of it. Presto! Grunge!! :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

29. Grunge is for people who couldn't afford soap.

Yeah, I said it.

[mcctatas]

30. elitist

:eyes:

[SoxFan]

34. True Warrant story

My best friend owns a nightclub in Manchester, NH. A few years back, he booked Warrant for a show. The day of the show, he told me that he had to go and meet with the band at their hotel. I presumed that he meant the big Radisson downtown.

Nope.

"No, they're at the Super 8 down by the airport".

I never did find out if they were opening for a puppet show on that tour.

[Skittles]

31. you want I should kick her hairband-groupie ass, mcctatas?

LEMME AT HER

[mcctatas]

32. yes please Skittles...

it may be the only hope of saving her :P

[Kat45]

33. They don't. Suck, that is.

Well, some of them sucked but there were a lot of good ones.

[SoxFan]

35. I need to avoid this discussion

My musically formative years were spent listening to folks who look like this:

[unpossibles]

36. not really

I think the aquanet gets into the pores of the scalp and infects the brain a little.

[TZ]

37. This thread is giving me a craving for

Cherry Pie!!! (the real thing though not the bad song) :rofl:

[Deep13]

38. Some of the songs of some of the groups were okay...

...though I don't think anyone of them really hit a home run. If a commercial performer wanted to get anywhere in the '80s, the hair was de riguer.

[Bertha Venation]

40. I thought you meant this kind of hairband

[guitar man]

41. not " hairbands" but

"Hair Bands" :P

[mdmc]

42. kicking

for the du handle

[old mark]

45. You mean like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMqjGywYOI8


C C DeVille is a pretty good Rock and Roll guitar player under all the makeup. They are kind of old and baggy for spandex these days, though.....
