Google Tracy G and if it comes up wit the guy that briefly toured with Dio, he was one of my guitar teachers way back before he got into the limelight.
Haven’t been able to get in touch with him in a long time.
He was another local player that Delfin and I would bring our cabs and extra gear to set him up like an outdoor festival.
Cheers

Never cared for Poison, Europe, Warrant or White Lion during the heyday of hair metal, but there were alot of great bands from that time like Motley Crue, Ratt, WASP, Dokken, GNR ( technically not hair metal if you ask me), Twisted Sister, Skid Row, Cinderella etc. They all had great riffs that stand up to this day

Loved all of those bands!!!!@!!!!!

I did like Uncle Toms Cabin honestly, probably their best tune. Didnt care much for Cherry Pie or Heaven Isnt Too Far Away lol as for White Lion, Vito Bratta was a helluva guitarist but i didnt care much for the songs even though my dad had one of their albums.

That was the era i grew up remembering the most even though by definition, my generation should be the grunge and Nu Metal era. I did NOT like that music minus a few stand outs like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and to some extent Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam at times. The Nu Metal thing made me recoil in horror because every other kid playing guitar at the time i picked it up was hellbent for Korn and Limp Bizkit. I was on a warpath with Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Queensryche at that time lol

Swear to god, probably 2 of my earliest memories going back to 3 years old was watching MTV and seeing Van Halen, Ratt, Motley Crue, Dokken and Cinderella and ultimately before I turned 4, seeing Headbangers Ball.

The other was when we moved , same age frame and seeing the two older neighbor girls who were twins ( they were early teens) and flirting with them at about 3 years old by singing " You give Love a Bad Name" lmao

I definitely loved that time
 
Honestly, I never cared for any of the eighties LA metal. Was still totally into 70's British metal including Motὂrhead, UFO, Maiden, Uriah Heep, along with other favorites such as Rory Gallagher and Wishbone Ash. Nevermind he spacerock stuff that was still going on. Then there was all the underground stuff like Minute Men, Hüsker Dü, Mission of Burma, Buffalo Tom, and many others. I could not get the whole aquanet, spandex, and pointy guitar aesthetic. And the music didn't totally click with me at the time. There was so much more better stuff out there at the time.

They say your generation is whatever your teenage years into early adulthood is. If thats the case? Mine sucked a bag of mashed asses cause I came up through Grunge, Nu Metal and Nsync/Backstreet boys lol. But thankfully, i was young enough to live thru the majority of the 80s and remember the tail end of it well. By comparison to what I had to listen to, the hair metal days were just fine lol a few bands like Alice in Chains, Pantera, Soundgarden kept things positive .

However, im fortunate enough to have a cool dad who exposed me early on to the classic and hard rock stuff such as AC/DC, Ted Nugent, Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Montrose, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, earlier Aerosmith and such. By the time the nu metal thing hit? I had went back and discovered Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Queensryche and Saxon on my own. By my early 20s a new wave of Melodic Heavy Metal came with Killswitch Engage, In Flames, As I Lay Dying etc and that was refreshing.
