80's Flashback: Aquanet Blessed by the Lord

Posted by Bill

Better than Spinal Tap:

"I was curious. Somebody had shown me a picture of them. The assumption is, you can't look like that, you can't play that kind of music, if you come from a Christian background. Christians don't normally look like that. (Humans outside of a New Jersey mall circa 1988 don't normally look like that. --ED) I saw them first as a Bon Jovi concert, they were opening for Bon Jovi at a place called the country club."

As an 80's metal aficianado, I can honestly say that my opinion that Stryper sucked had little to do with their religious affiliation, though metal is the natural province of the Beast (The same statement technically applies to Bon Jovi, come to think of it). And to be honest, no just God - Jesus, Allah, Swahili Earth Spirit - would countenance those hairstyles.

(Via Lauren)

Now if you want some real 80's metal, packaged with perhaps the most outstanding artistic achievement in the history of music video ...

The above video is objective evidence that the Singularity is here, not merely near. Because the day that I can have the randomly vague memory of "Savatage: Hall of the Mountain King" flit around my brainpan and, seconds later, lose myself in the very video ... well let's just say that the post-human technological Rapture has been achieved.

scary. midgets and heavy metal, why is that so obvious a combination?
