Addicted to that rush..

Bastions of hair rock n' roll, Mr. Big sure did to build bridges between sad,sappy hair metal and powerful,pelvic-thrusting rock n' roll.

Sample Evidence: Addicted To That Rush
Take Cover
Daddy,Brother,Lover,Little Boy

Been trippin' on their Live at Budokan concert,for the past two weeks. Damn, these guys are powerhouses. Especially,the gear-switching feat on their rendition of Smoke on the Water.

But what freaks me out is the colour of Billy Sheehan's bass in the Addicted.. music video. Its pink. PINK,I tell you. Blatant.

Could never realise the 80s fixation with bottlespraying your tufts into a frizzy hairdo, donning ludicrously (scary,at times) costumes, cross-gender bearingss and man, what's with the synth overload(WTF!!).It's like you've got a new action figure and end you up playing with it FOR AN ENTIRE DECADE.

Now,in the 80s you could never really identify a male or female vocalist. Same hairdo, same high pitched vocals, identical gyrations on stage, teasing boys and girls during performances, maintaining no difference between alcohol and tapwater.........damn,Sebastian Bach still has gotta carry around with his ID papers.
