Yeah, a few years back I went to a show like that... Poison, Warrant, Great White, Quiet Riot, and a few others... It was kind of cool, seeing all those guys play the music from "waaaay" back. I just wish it hadn't been part of the "outdoor summer concert series," in July.. in Texas..
Hilarious. I have been building a garage in my spare time, and lately I got bored of some of the music in my ipod so I have been seeking out 80's metal stations, and dug out my Garage Days Revisited (appropriately enough). Man, some of that music is just timeless. Or, you can listen to a band like Fu Manchu that is just kind of stuck there...
What I tend to forget is that there is SO MUCH of it - you only ever get to hear the crap they recycle on the 80's stations, which was probably top40 for each year. Boy I miss that stuff sometimes - now that music has become mechanized/electronified even the metal sounds like techno-crap.
