MafiaMan Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Ok agree Mr. Big Not a band. Posers I like Mr Big...but don't you feel that they're the Tri-Lambs when compared with Alpha Betas like Motley Crue and Ratt? Same thing goes for Loverboy. Quote
Blackheart Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 How does Honeymoon Suite constitute a hair band? Easy...they're Canadian and they all have mullets ....check out the cover of their album Racing After Midnight. Quote
Blackheart Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Kix I loved them and that song Still have the Hot Wire cassette. Quote
Lgbnaf Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 MafiaMan thanks for the trip down memory lane. I loved it Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Also in Honeymoon Suite's favor are two things: #1) The band name - Honeymoon Suite. Dang...that's good. #2) My years of study in all things '80's has led me to theorize something that I like to call "The Trixter Effect." It's a rather complicated formula, but in short, pick a 1980's hair band. If you feel the band would invite Trixter along as an opening act, then they cannot label themselves as a true 1980's hair band. For example, let's take an obvious case: Guns 'N Roses. Can you imagine Axl Rose calling up the band that came up with THIS song and asking them to come on tour with Slash and the rest of the gang? Of course you can't! Therefore, Guns 'N Roses is a true 1980's hair band. Now, on the other end of the spectrum, is this: Are you picturing Nelson and Trixter together in concert in about 1991? Seven days a week and twice on Sunday, right? Therefore, Nelson is not a 1980's hair band - just a wanna-be. Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Let's look at one more example of "The Trixter Effect" just to make sure you've got it: The band is Britny Fox. OK, at first glance, I'll admit, it doesn't look good. First of all, the band name: Britny Fox. Hmnnnn...sounds like the girl band Vixen's cousin. Touring with Trixter looks like a done-deal. But, wait. There's a red challenge flag on the field. Let's roll the tape to the 1:38 minute mark of the video. Hmnnnn....our schoolgirls are getting a bit rowdy. 1:53...2:07...2:18...2:41...2:48...OK, I've seen enough evidence that I don't need to go on. It's clear that the boys of Britny Fox (and probably the schoolgirls) would be giving the Trixter guys swirlies in the bathroom every day at recess and stealing their Snack Packs at lunchtime - clearly an '80's hair band. Care to try one on your own and put the theory to the test? Quote
Lgbnaf Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Never even thought Nelson was a hair band but those chicks are hot Quote

MafiaMan Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Here's one of my favorite Heavy Metal Ballads. She's Gone...I'll Never Let You Go...Hey, look, Steelheart, the guys from Van Halen just stole your prom dates! Clearly asking Trixter to open up for them...sorry, Goon. 1 Quote
Goon Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 So Mafia Man, do you have this song in your iPod? DaveK? Quote

Goon Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Foreigner and Styx coming to the Target Center in July. Yea baby! Styx kicks ass, we should go to that one eh? When is it? Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Styx kicks ass, we should go to that one eh? When is it? July 17th. The down-side is Target Center, but I'll take what I can get. I've seen Styx five times since 2006...and have yet to be disappointed in their show. MN State Fair (2 times), Target Center, St Paul's Midway Stadium, and Treasure Island. Quote

MafiaMan Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I forgot to post this last week: Bloomington Kennedy HS boys defeated Jefferson last week 2-1...their first victory over their cross-town rival in FOURTEEN YEARS! The king is dead! The king is dead! Quote

The king is dead! The king is dead! How the world changes. Kennedy had a couple of players in the mid 80's that were good. Can you remember who they were? I keep thinking one was a goalie. Quote

I keep thinking one was a goalie. I don't know if it changes...I think Kennedy's varsity team is still a two-line ONLY team because they can only get about 14 kids to go out for hockey. Jefferson's program has been in a steady decline for about 10 years now. Quote

MafiaMan Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Their decline coincided with their coach going over to Holy Angels, right? Greg Trebil left the Bantam A program at Jefferson and took the head coaching job at Holy Angels Academy in 1996. He and Tom Saterdalen (then Jefferson's head varsity coach) had a HUGE falling-out over four of Trebil's Bantam A players then heading over to AHA for the start of their run of glory on the high school team. Trebil's last season of '11-'12 was a train wreck. The Stars that season lost to Breck by an 8-2 score, Burnsville by a 15-3 mark, and Benilde-St Margaret's (the new "it" school in Minnesota) by a 15-2 tally. They also lost to New Prague for the first time in I believe 20 years. Ouch. Quote
keikla Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Foreigner and Styx coming to the Target Center in July. Yea baby! They're coming to Bangor in July as well, and I definitely plan to attend. Also includes Don Felder (from the Eagles, for you youngin's out there ) Juke Box Hero is one of my favorite songs. And, if I remember correctly, "Waiting for a girl like you" was written in like 16 minutes. Quote
