      Paul Gilbert once said the mark of a great guitarist lies in the vibrato, and I intuitively and independently arrived at a similar conclusion. The nuance makes all the difference. It’s what I love about the guitar. On a keyboard, notes are discrete pitches-you cannot really go in between one key and the next a semi-tone up. But guitars can bend, they can capture the full, continuous range, which allows the, to mimic the expressive range of a human voice.

      Atta Girl..... glad you mentioned that because that was another thing about the 80s, the dancers Nationwide were Absolutely Gorgeous. Most of them worked two different jobs and Raised Kids because that's what Women did back then, and they didn't whine about it. They were Engaging, Funny, Down to Earth, Lovable, Brilliant, Loyal to the Bone, Generous, Proud, Caring, Nurturing, and Literally an Endless List of Positive Character Traits.... and when they danced their asses off, they were dancing to the absolute best music that has ever been known to mankind--- everything was better during the 80s because people were very respectful toward one another and cared about each other. We believe in neighbors-helping-neighbors, strangers helping strangers, we were complimentary toward each other, And probably most significant to bring it around full circle, is the FACT that we didn't TELL LIES back then Because the TRUTH was just soooo prevalent 95 % of the time. Integrity was still very much alive and well in the 80s. And when we did screw up we were usually in a hurry to face our consequences so we can put it behind us .... I could go on forever but I will leave you with this one example to give you an idea of what it was like to live and Rock in the 80s. We WERE, and ARE the last FEW of the Most Dynamic Group of Men and Women that will ever walk the face of this Earth, and during our era and nobody can speak to this unless they've actually been there and done that for real. Because there is a whole completely different feel to this group of people of phenomena if you will only really understand-- it can't be put into words, it is INNATE. it's BUILT IN - Its within all of us and it's just a NATURAL PART of our Being, a Genetic Phenomenon.... the last of a Dying Breed of Warriors who fostered and maintained certain values like honesty integrity, hard work, help others, love God, country and family, and most deals were made with a handshake or a nod of the head people kept their word. We returned wallets and pocketbooks more often than not with the money still in them. Yes I would say were A completely different breed

      @@wayne3340 We absolutely used the term glam metal back then, they were an evolution of glam rock from the 70's from bands like Slade. In the early 80's glam metal term and hair metal were used for the pretty bands, big hair, make up and playing a pop like version of hard rock or metal. They got mainstream air play were Heavy metal didn't in most markets.
      It would have been the heavy metal fans calling them glam, and chances are pretty high they would have been doing the ass kicking if anything.

      Dokken was VERY appreciated in the 80's and when I saw them in Charlotte NC at Amos's Southend several years back, they drew a bigger crowd than Black Label Society! They were DANGEROUSLY close to fire capacity!!

    Dokken rocks. Beast of the East was the best. Don Dokken sounds amazing live and had great stage presence. Remember having a crush on George Lynch. Very handsome. Looked like my ex-fiance. I still don't know this songs meaning though. Miss this band and Winger. Miss the 80's. I still think George Lynch was underrated..

    In 1985, I was 15 years old and had just started my hair guitar journey. I had some serious gunslingers to inspire my daily marathon practice sessions. 30 years later, I still play a Kramer Baretta, Jackson Soloist, a spalted maple BC Rich Mockingbird, a black Washburn A20, Carlos Cavazo's Metal Health guitar, and a cherry Burst Les Paul through a 50w Marshall JCM800 head and 1960a cab. I just can't get away from the 80s.
