Propaganda: “The sluttiest a man can do is be in the Guns’N Roses’s original lineup”
“Watch this video and tell me slash doesn't have pretty boy babygirl swag”
“Whoo! Time for more Guns N’ Roses propaganda (and by that I mean an excuse to gush about Steven Adler, one of my favorite drummers/people ever)
First off, look at him. This is, and so cannot stress this enough, one of the cutest people I’ve ever seen. Ever. Look at him! (And also, he’s a drummer so he’s fun-size - he is 5’7 at most and at least some of you reading could pick him up)
And he’s one of the greatest and most fun drummers to ever live. I’ve heard maybe 3 other drummers who are as fun to listen to and who have as good of a feel for matching the actual emotion of a song (harder to explain with drumming, but even though they’re both love songs, wouldn’t do the same solos for Patience and Sweet Child o Mine - it’s the same deal here). The demo for Back Off Bitch runs laps around the full version and half of that is because of him.
Izzy Stradlin himself has said that he gave early Guns N’ Roses their feel and that things got weird and “nothing worked” without him (I swear to god that’s a direct quote). You know how hard it is to get a guitarist or singer to recognize and actually admit that? And he’s never made a bad song or sounded boring, and that’s really rare for 80s-era hard rock drummers. Even Tommy Lee’s had his weird songs and I can’t say the same here.
And some bonus propaganda before I write another five paragraphs”

Round 5.5 of The Hottest 80s Band Tournament
Bon Jovi

Richie Sambora- guitar
Albums from the 80s:
Bon Jovi (1984)
7800 Fahrenheit (1985)
Slippery When Wet (1986)
New Jersey (1988)
Propaganda: Genre-defying powerhouse of a band. So many classic songs. Every member was some flavor of hot but Richie was married Heather Locklear hot and Jon was hot enough to make you want to take a risk on a Jersey boy. Their stage show was iconic with Jon, Richie and Alec fitted with wires so they could be lifted up and fly out over the crowd mid-performance. (See the video for Livin' on a Prayer to see this in action) They're still performing to this day and Jon is still married to his high school sweetheart which I think is kind of adorable.

Propaganda: In the late 70s and through the 80s, everyone attracted to women was enchanted by Stevie Nicks at one point or another, even Prince. And if Prince went out of his way to try to get with someone, you KNOW they're hot stuff! Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie were easy on the eyes as well, and Mick Fleetwood got tons of action. They were also hugely successful musically.

Visual propaganda for Mötley Crüe:
That’s the combat stance. You mulch their ankles
The problem with folks arguing on the Internet about whether it's "realistic" to use a scythe as a weapon is that they're almost never actually talking about scythes; they're talking about some sort of fictitious vaguely-scythe-inspired polearm, and there's no point having an argument about that, because obviously a weapon can be used as a weapon. Let's bring real scythes into the picture – I want to see the hypothetical combat stance for one of these:
I don’t know how to explain this fully, but I think Jon Bon Jovi has ended up the way I expected Axl Rose to and Axl Rose has turned out the way I expected Jon Bon Jovi to.
My new favorite conspiracy theory is that everyone who’s ever posted anything remotely negative in the Bon Jovi subreddit is actually a secret, immature Mötley Crüe fan
Had to brush my teeth in the kitchen sink
i cant get over the king charles portrait. they made that thing to age in his place. that painting hangs in the house of a too-friendly family you find in the post apocalyptic wasteland who inexplicably has a ready supply of fresh meat. if mario jumped into that painting he wouldn't find a charming platformer he would be flayed and hanged like a medieval criminal by an unseeable force in a droning red void. that painting is a color blindness test for people who work in IT but believe in the divine right of kings. that painting is going to weep the sequel to blood. after he dies charles is gonna crawl outta that thing like sadako.
For any of my fellow Warrant/Jani Lane nerds, I finally have all of Back Down to One transcribed and put together on Genius!
Doing great, why do you ask?
Just once can I have negative/complicated emotions that are easy to make a playlist for?
