This is a really great song from 1984! Early heavy metal was really excellent.
This looks a lot like a 70′s glam type look. This is how they looked when they first started out. They started to get more metalish-bikerish-badass/macho later on.
A lot of it sounded like punk or especially glam. Had a great “anthem” type sound. Love the hair and the glam outfits too.
Dressing up like chicks, cool. Straight out of the New York Dolls! The political gays and the politicization of homosexuality have ruined this look. Nowadays everyone who looks like this or like the guys in any of these photos is assumed to be gay or bi. But it didn’t used to be that way. You used to be able to be an androgynous straight man. That is what 70′s glam rock was all about. One more thing the gays have ruined – androgyny. Androgyny now equals homosexuality, no ifs ands or buts about it.
I saw Motley Crue in 1982 and they were out of this world. One hot metal chick after another kept rubbing up against me, but I was too shy to do anything about it! Idiot! Motley Crue was another excellent early metal band.
The more recent look, with still a Kiss look about them.
This is a cool hate song. I love hate songs!
Oh you’re so condescending
Your goal is never ending
We don’t want nothin’, not a thing from you
Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that’s your best, your best won’t doJust you try and make us
We’re not gonna take it
Come on
No, we ain’t gonna take it
You’re all worthless and weak
We’re not gonna take it anymore
Now drop and give me twenty
Love the platform heels! I used to have 4 inch high blue platform shoes! They were so cool! Everyone called me a fag but so what!
Unfortunately, this song has turned into an anthem for US reactionaries, which I doubt makes Mr. Snyder very happy. There are lots of interpretatins of the lyrics, but Snyder said it’s just a hate song for people who had a bad day at the office or if they team is down by two late in the game…
