Ahh the ‘80s — the last decade when debauchery reigned and hair was teased as much as the stratosphere. Loads of moments stick out as memorable from the last decade, and we’ve rounded up a few of the most ridiculous ones.
Ever hear the story of Jani Lane injuring his pecker onstage? Throughout a Warrant gig, guitarist Joey Allen straddled Lane onstage whereas the singer was holding the mic close to his manhood. “[It was] the worst ache I ever felt in my life,” Lane relayed to an interviewer. “I ran offstage and I pulled my pants down and there was blood in all places and I went, ‘Oh my god, I’m by no means gonna have youngsters.’ They rushed me to the hospital… the nurse saved saying ‘who bit you?’”
What else must be mentioned in regards to the pool scene from The Decline of Western Civilization Half II? W.A.S.P.’s Chris Holmes was in a drunken spiral in the course of the interview, chugging a bottle of vodka as he waxed poetic about not digging the particular person he was. His mother was even there for the madness, and the enduring footage stays a speaking level to this present day.
We even included some wacky hair steel performances on public entry TV. Ever hear the band Sufferer? You’ll completely love their ridiculous but endearing efficiency of “Sufferer” stuffed with police sirens and odd bravado. On the flip aspect, Mystic Edge delivers a soulful ballad about believing in your goals. They’ll come true, y’know.
Take a look at these ridiculous ‘80s hair steel moments within the Loud Listing under.
