It's Tuesday again so it's time to dive into Three Tune Tuesday. I was inspired by @bozz this morning by his hair metal picks, and decided to continue on with the fun. Thanks to @ablaze for starting the weekly event, and this is the second week that I am one of the sponsors the event (I kick in one HSBI.) The winner will win 11 HSBI and is picked randomly. Just be sure to include #ttt or include @ablaze in you post.
I grew up in the 1980's so I always love hearing some great hair metal. So today I picked out three classic bands that embodied heavy metal during the decade of decadence. I thought we might start off today with some Guns N' Roses.
Guns N' Roses
These guys really are a great band that started in Los Angeles along the Sunset strip, the heart of heavy metal in the city of angels. I've discussed them before in other posts. They were the poster child of how a band could go from best friends to hated enemies in not all that many years. Mix in a horde of money, drugs and alcohol and these guys just plain couldn't get along anymore. Here's a live performance of their first big hit "Paradise City".

Judas Priest
Judas Priest are a band from the U.K. that were a big trend setter in the leather and stud movement in hard rock. The lead singer Rob Halford is homosexual, but was still in the closet back in the 80's. It was his influence that led the band to go with their signature look expressing his sexuality. They produced a long list of hits throughout the decade, and they continue to write and produce music to this day. The video in this one isn't great, being transferred from VHS, but the performance is great! Here's "You've Got Another Thing Coming".

Mötley Crüe
Last up I just couldn't leave out the original bad boys of heavy metal, Mötley Crüe. Despite years of alcohol and drug abuse somehow none of them ended up dead. Lead singer Vince Neal was kicked out of the band (or quit depending on whose story you believe) at one point only to re-unite later. Nicki Sixx (bass guitar) overdosed on heroine several times and miraculously lived. Tommy Lee (drummer) married and divorced Pamela Anderson of Baywatch fame. The tabloid papers were always busy with their personal lives and antics, and they didn't mind, it just made them more famous. Here's "Live Wire".

Most of the heavy metal bands went through multiple lineup changes over the years. Often members drifted from one band to another and then back to their first band. Even The Simpsons couldn't help but poke fun at it:

And the Wheel of Names results:
Winner #1:
Winner #2:
Congratulations @bntcamelo you have won 3 HSBI and @andres4455 you have won 2 HSBI!
Now for today's re-blog lottery! You just need to re-blog my post you will be placed on the Wheel of Names for a spin to possibly win up to 5 HSBI units! New twist, one winner on the first spin wins 3 HSBI, and a second spin for a chance for 2 HSBI, so two possible winners or one really lucky one could win both spins! An upvote is not required but is always greatly appreciated. Bots aren't allowed to win the prizes. Contest ends at 14:00 (2 PM) California Pacific time tomorrow. If I somehow missed your re-blog please let me know and I'll add you to the next draw.
What are HSBI units? They are units that you can purchase to sponsor someone and you in turn receive a unit as well. This way we both benefit! They give you occasional upvotes on your posts for a lifetime, and the more you accumulate the more often you receive upvotes and the bigger they can be. You can read some more here:

If you have more questions feel free to ask.
Now if you could drop one of these bands, and only choose two, which would they be?
That's a tough call, all three awesome, maybe Priest, but that's a big maybe!
If you base it on how they perform today, probably would ditch the MC.
I agree! They just aren't any good in concert anymore... Vince Neal can't sing to save his life. Same can be said about Axl Rose these days too... Rob Halford can still put on a show though. One out of three isn't too bad!
He's got to ditch that beard though lol.

Gotta drop the Crew! Keep the other two 👍
Yeah
I would just keep Judas Priest but add musicians from the other two as guests in the Priest lineup :)
Maybe like slash. The rest I could do without.
Yup Slash and Tommy Lee could be picked up. I did enjoy Duff Mckagan's autobiography. Gave quite the picture of when he was with the band, but also showed how he bounced back in his post GnR life. Worth a read for anyone who likes autobiographies
Yeah, it appears he really turned his life around after the hard drinkin days. Do or die I think was the situation.
All excellent choices! I approve! 😁

Can’t go wrong with those three of your bonus song.
Poison, Quiet Riot, and Ratt. I agree!
Man, Guns and Roses are one of the band that I listen to during my childhood, I don't even understand the lyric, but love the music back then. hahah

GNR, they are a great band! Still fun to listen to even today.

Sad how Guns N’ Roses had bitter disputes within the band…… it does happen!😮
Artistic people can be temperamental I have seen this firsthand!🙄
Especially when there's drugs, alcohol and money involved!
So very sad…… Way too common in the music industry!🙄
I caught the most of the classic and hair metal scenes as a history lesson. I got into music around the time Use Your Illusion was going out. For me the three metal bands which are my bedrock are Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. Ah, makes me think i should write a post on this :)
I love all three of them, fantastic bands. I've included all of them in some of my Three Tune Tuesdays! I say go for it! I would love to see your tunes for Tuesday!

Livewire is probably one of my most favorite Crue songs. That and on with the show. Even Mick Mars has his share of issues but is still kicking. That movie they did a while ago was quite good.
The Dirt is an awesome movie! Mick Mars is out of the band now because he couldn't tour with arthritis issues. I like Livewire too. They were a crazy bunch back in the eighties and nineties...
Haha, thanks, I couldn't remember the name of it for the life of me! I think technically Mick has Angelosing Spinalitis. However you spell it. He got into it with Nikki too a little bit ago during the tour I think.
Good old ankylosing spondylitis, it's a bitch... I'm surprised he made it as long as he did. Those guys seem to always be fighting, amazing they still had the original members until recently. Also that none of them are dead!
Yeah, I totally agree with all of that. I knew it was spelled wrong, but I didn't even care!
