Don't need nothin' but a good time...

[Kata6]

Kata's review of the Poison concert:

1. I don't care how you feel about Poison, they put on one HELL of a damn show. Seriously, it rocked!

2. C.C. Deville is an awesome guitar player, he looks like hell, but he can still play.

3. Pyrotechnics and neon green lights rule.

4. After all these years Bret Michael's ass is still amazing.

So, tonight we invented a new game, it is soon to have a patent on it, please stay tuned, it's called The 80's hair metal concert game (original, right), here's how it works, based on the scale below, the person with the most points at the end of the night, wins....

1. Mullet 5 points
2. Fem-mullet 10 points
3. Bandanna 2 points
4. Spandex pants with a pattern, 5 points
5. Bangs on a girl (2-5 in) 5 points
6. Bangs on a guy (2-5 in) 10 points
7. Leather skirt 2 points
8. Leather pants 10 points
9. Banana clip 15 points
10. Holes in jeans (5 holes) 5 points
11. Holes in jeans (10 holes) 10 points
12. Long hair on a dude (past the shoulder blades) 5 pts.
13. Fishnet stockings 10 points, any other tights, 5 pts.
14. Eyeliner on a guy, 10 points.

The first person to spot the item on the list, wins the points.

Anyway, I know I'll be hurtin tomorrow at work, but god damn what a fun night.

I'm too tired right now to total up the points, but it was a close match, I can't wait until the next Motley Crue concert so I can play again.

**by the way, this is a fun game that can be played at any type of concert....new editions coming soon....Punk Show edition, 90's band edition, Rap/Hip hop show edition, and many more.

[Kata6]

The official results are in....I won the game with a whopping 195 points. I rule.

[IDBUG]

Damn you, Kata! I know NOTHING of this song but that line in the subject.... and now it's stuck in my head.

Oh well, at least it's better than "Wake me up before you go-go", which for some reason keeps getting stuck in my head and torturing me for days on end. Thank god for that.

Wasn't that the "Pour some sugar on me" band?

No, silly, that was Def Leppard.

Oh... well I recall a neon green cd cover for Poisin. Do I at least get one cool-point?

I was jamming to Alphaville and Depeche Mode. I missed the whole hairspray-band thing.

You're right about the neon green....although I'm not sure that equates to a cool-point, maybe more like a cheese-point

I'm not really sure how your contest works Kata. But if these criteria apply to what one did in their lifetime personally, I think I can compete:



1. Mullet 5 points

I had a mullet twice between 1987 and 1989. Do I get double points for that?

2. Fem-mullet 10 points

Never had a Fem-mullet, but I went out with a chick who did. I think I should get 5 for that.

3. Bandanna 2 points

I had a bright red bandanna with white paisley's-2 points for me.

4. Spandex pants with a pattern, 5 points

I had black spandex shorts with no pattern. They weren't anything but a utility garment for me, I wore them underneath my shorts when I jogged so that I wouldn't chafe.. And I didn't have them in the 80's, I had them between 00 and 05. But I still am going to give myself the points.

5. Bangs on a girl (2-5 in) 5 points

I banged on lots of girls - 5 points for me!

6. Bangs on a guy (2-5 in) 10 points

I can't remember if my mullet included bangs or not. I don't think so. No points.

7. Leather skirt 2 points

Never had one of those.

8. Leather pants 10 points

I never had leather pants but my brother did, so I am giving myself 5 points for "leather pants by association".

9. Banana clip 15 points

I don't even know what a banana clip is. No points.

10. Holes in jeans (5 holes) 5 points

I had several pairs of jeans with at least 5 holes. 5-points.

11. Holes in jeans (10 holes) 10 points

I'm not sure if I ever achieved deca status in the realm of holes in jeans. No points.

12. Long hair on a dude (past the shoulder blades) 5 pts.

Definitely 5 points for me here.

13. Fishnet stockings 10 points, any other tights, 5 pts.

Um. No.

14. Eyeliner on a guy, 10 points.

I never wore eyeliner but I wish I would have. No points.

Total Points: 57

Nice! I think you definitely qualify, but I'd be a little worried if I actually saw you wearing these items in 2006. Trust me, I'm going to make millions on this game, it's sort of like "I spy" on a roadtrip, except it's at a concert.

Alright now lets see here, for having owned the following albums, 2 points each

Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi Never had this one, believe it or not, I didn't really like Bon Jovi that much.

Hysteria - Def Leppard Had it, 2 pts

Appetite for Destruction - GnR Still have it, 2 pts, plus I'm going to give myself an extra 2 for having GnR LIES and ALSO Use Your Illusions, 1 AND 2, so that's 6 points

Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue 2 points, PLUS another 2 each for Too Fast For Love and Shout at the Devil., so 6 again.

Open Up and Say Ahhh - Poison 2 pts plus I also had Flesh and Blood, so 4 pts.

Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue 2 pts.

Skid Row - Skid Row 2 pts, plus another 2 for Slave to the Grind, so 4

Whitesnake - Whitesnake Nope.

5 points each:

Long Cold Winter - Cinderella

Out of the Cellar - Rat

Lita - Lita Ford

Cherry Pie - Warrant

Bullet Boys - Bullet Boys

Look at what the Cat Dragged In - Poison Had it, 5 pts.

Theater of Pain - Motley Crue Had it, another 5

Also:

Any record by Kix, Faster Pussycat, Danger Danger, Dangerous Toys, or L.A. Guns.

Do I get any points for having Slaughter? Ouch, that one hurts to admit.

10 points if you owned a denim acid-wash jacket with patches of butt-stank bands all over it, and five bonus points if some of the bands were scrawled on there with a black marker.

I don't think I qualify to get the points on this one

5 points if you went to English class smelling like restroom smoke.

5 pts.

10 points if you still own a concert T-shirt from any of the above bands.

10 points

20 points if you ever bought anything from that stoner shop at Metrocenter (it isn't there any more) that was like in the corner across from McDonald's and

I'm not sure about the name of this store, I lived on the Eastside, so we bought our stuff at Trails and Shirts 'n Things, across the street from Fiesta mall.

5 points if you can remember the name of that shop (because I can't)

No Clue.

Oh and here's some banana clips....they're for awesome 80's hair. See the pictures below, but just picture it with bangs for the full effect.
