Paris is Burning

Every band has their dodgy 80's moment, the Manic Street Preachers managed to pull theirs off with Motorcycle Emptiness and The Clash did it spectacularly with Train In Vain

Train in Vain was in '79.

pwn'd

Just because it an 80's moment, it doesn't mean it has to be in the 80's itsself. The 80's moment is more a figure of speech for something that happened alot in the 80's and was typical for the 80's. It doesn't mean that it can't apply to a moment outside the 80's.

I am sorry eph.. not everything revolves around America, and no Europe doesn't think about America when it gets up in the morning, nor when it goes to sleep in the Evening.

You missed my sarcastic point.
First, you can bite me for thinking that I would even think that, you should know me better than that. I challenge you to re-post anything I have ever said that would make you think that I am like that.
Try to break through the simpleton mentality that I am somehow this voracious pro-American fiend who looks down on other countries/peoples of the world. The only country I have ever been critical of is the USA. I have repeatedly made posts regarding the stupidity of making generalizations.
The irony here is that in my post above I was actually poking fun at those people who make sweeping generalizations, and you go and do it.

And even if you didn't understand that I was being sarcastic, thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.

^ yeah yeah!
We all know you think the US government is behind a conspiracy to dominate the world and we also know you are an avid reader of T0ne's posts... :fear:



This image of Saddam was taken by an Illuminaty satellite while he was at a barbeque with George Bush in Texas... the guy at the prison wich every one believes to be Saddam is a nano engeneered clone that takes hallucinogens to think he is free

If you work on that logic then everything on Sandinista and Combat Rock is one big dodgy 80's moment. A dodgy 80's moment is when a band that doesn't have an 80's sound decide against a backdrop of screaming and floods of tears decide to go a little bit Duran Duran

I don't know how the 80's were in England, but the 80's in the USA means Hair Metal.

And by no way was The Clash metal (THANK GOD).

[ZeUs!!]

We had what was known as the New Romantic movement, where guys such as George Michael and Adam Ant dressed up in frilly shirts and wore flowers and did horrible things to their synthesisers (not the best examples: one's gay so prone to wearing frilly shirts already, and the other has since been sectioned). I would much rather have had Motley Crue, I even plan on buying their greatest hits, just not for £13

[DoTheFandango]

Motley Crue is a rare exception to the shitty music put out in the 1980's.

I tell you, the influx of shitty bands from LA was just astonishing. While I wouldn't take George Michael over any single one of them, the shear number of them makes the trade almost tolerable.
