Ah, ’80s rock: the glam, the hair, the chlamydia.
Manowar (pics 3 & 4) we know, but can you name those other poodles?
From top: Tunnel Of Love; Vepri Suicida (Wild Boar’s Suicide) (thanks spudnik); Manowar (x2); Satan only knows (x2); Rhapsody Of Fire; Shotgun Messiah; Night Jamming Band and Stryper (thanks Cuilleog).
Good point re the chlamydia, I can smell it off the Manowar posse….
You’ve GOT to tell us who some of these jokers are. Manowar I recognised, and the last ojnes might have been Stryper? What about the others?
I love these posts
Absolutely
Ha ha! They’re all winners! My God, always brings a smile to the face :D
men boobs win
Ditto, millie. They always make me laugh, to the point whereby I question myself and the basic level of amusement I subject myself to – notwithstanding their brilliance, of course!
More to the point, where are they now and what do they look like?
is that “No Sweat” there
5 down
ha
the good ol’ days
when hair was proper
none’ah this man bun or geometric carvings nonsense
I had to do a double take on that one because they all look like they could have been me in my grad picture.
Frilly, I can 100% confirm that pic number 5 is not No Sweat……..! ;)
oh yeah
got pics to prove it
Ha…..they were all destroyed in the ‘great fire of 1991’…!
It looks more like an evening out for No Sweat’s Ma’s. Especially 2nd from left. Is that a dress?
Errr proper? There’s a hole in the ozone layer from the hairspray alone. And then the bloody poodle perms, and the backcombing, and more slap than Panti Bliss.
Fabulous
Wild Stallons
The bass player from Winter’s Reign runs Hanna’s Bookshop in Rathmines : true story
He doesn’t actually……Charles was bassist for the band Assassin : factually correct story.
Pic 3 and Pic 4 are the same people (Manowar)
I think the lads with the swords might be Helloween? There’s no way any of these pictures are “No Sweat” (they were very denim-friendly, not chaps or spandex)
could we move them to the awk ward
Wild Boar’s Suicide (2). Obvs
Doesn’t the second from the left in the last pic look awful like the gay wan outa Westlife?
pauline far right pic 5
The odd ones out must surely be Stryper being a christian rock band. Their niche market in the day sealed them a fortune.
Pic 1, centre, John Malkovich can turn his hand to anything, cant he?
