I'm 19, but i have always been a fan of 80's rock more than this new shit. Some 90's was good, but into 2000's it ended up down the shitter. Now you have these kids thinking "My chemical cumbath" is good music. I hate these fuckers that shop at Hot Topic just to "fit in" with the crowd and be part of the present mainstream that is.. how do u say- SHIT. I know some of you guys gotta love 80's and some older classic rock. These are my fav's in no particular order:
1-Guns N Roses/Van Halen -tie for #1
2-Ozzy
3-38 special
4-Eddie Money
5-Doobie Bro's
6-Steve Miller Band
7-Billy Idol
8-Def Leppard
9-Iron Maiden
10-Winger
11-Bad Company
12-Foghat
13-Blue Oyster Cult
14-Scorpions
15-Tom Petty
16-Motley Crue
17-Poison
What's some of yours? Whoever is gonna say "80's suck" are the type of "guys" that are just getting a new car in high school, turn up the radio with windows down playing the latest EMO rock (Anal cab for cutie, 30 seconds to jizz, or Crossgayed)

There are some decent bands that came out after the 80s I love real 80s rock not the hair metal shit, like twisted sister or some of the other bands like that. I like Rush, Primus, Slayer, Pantera, Guns and Roses, ACDC the 60s 70s and 80s had real good music. Back then there were bands like Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Zepplin and many others. Now like you say there are shit bands around.

pardon, I'm drunk..

those bands actually had creativity, talent, and variety, nowdays the 'rock bands' are afraid to do anything even remotely original, they all sound the same, all their songs follow the same formulas, use the same power chords all the time, and all their singers are clones of each other

I just mentioned the 70's because you listed some bands from the 70's and some that had their best stuff from the 70's Eagles, Pink Floyd, Bad Company, Blue Oyster Cult, Foghat, The Doobie Brothers, Steve Miller Band, Eric Clapton. And a few others like Forigner and Iron Maiden cross late 70's early 80's at the height of popularity. but you definitly have a taste that hits 70/80's rock. Absolute perfection ;)

Berserker - in your opinion, do you think if a band was formed today that STRICTLY used the equipment they had in the 70's-80's (so it wouldnt sound so emo'ish)- that the american people would like it? I think so b/c all of these "rock" bands today have the mirror image of each other and don't sound any different. You knew GnR when u heard them, u knew Boston when u heard them... now u dont know who the hell is playing unless ur a fan. I've heard Record Companies don't wanna sign bands that sound like the 80's era but i think thats bs b/c all they should be concerned with is sales. Gotta give it a shot right? I'd love to play in a band like that...

Actually now's a good time for this. I've heard quite a few bands picking up cues from the 80's, vocals of audioslave, Dirty Americans, definitely bands like The Darkness... The vocals are different but the rest of the sound from The Darkness is vintage 80's style. But then if you don't have some twist, that's just it, they won't sign you. But I know what you're talking about, so many of these bands today, I don't have a clue who they are from the next band. Some of them sound exactly the same. And then there are sometimes great surprises like Billy Idol with his latest CD. Devil's Playground that up and for the first time since the 80's delivers vintage Billy Idol sound. There's some retro sounds in Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Andrew W.K.

listening to Is it just me by The Darkness right now, man totally 80's If I didn't know, I might think it was a band I missed. A little Queen like with the song One Way Ticket

Kravitz on his large collection of vintage guitars:
Which players influenced your choices in gear?
That really came from learning about what things sounded like. It was the mid Õ80s, and all of that new high-tech gear was coming out, but I didnÕt like the way it sounded. I got fed up with it, and chucked it all.
Then I went to this vintage guitar shop in Los Angeles and I plugged an Epiphone Sorrento into a tweed Deluxe amp Š and the thing sounded like gold! I ended up using it all over Let Love Rule. I just got into all these pure tones, and I knew that the records that I liked didnÕt sound like the records that were out in the Õ80s, which didnÕt sound intimate or organic; they didnÕt have a purity. Well, IÕm generalizing, obviously. But at the time, it was all about having big, gated reverb sounds and all that new stuff. It was the beginning of digital technology, and it really wasnÕt together.
So I just got into that stuff because I knew it sounded right, and I knew it was the gear that the people I was listening to had used in that era when they made their records.
As a player who uses both vintage and reissue instruments, what would you point out as the advantages and disadvantages each offers in terms of tone, playability, and roadworthiness?
The reissue stuff is good when you can find a nice piece that plays well and sounds good. ThereÕs something nice about a new guitar every now and again.
All of my stuff was vintage up until a few years ago. There are a lot of pieces that youÕd want to take on the road, but they cost so damn much and theyÕre hard to replace. IÕve had things smashed before. But IÕll basically take the stuff out, because itÕs made to be played. Now, I donÕt buy vintage pieces anymore because IÕve got over 120 vintage pieces that are amazing, and thereÕs just nothing else I could want.
As far as the reissue stuff goes, I think Gibson is making great stuff and itÕs nice to get a shiny new guitar and pay a regular sort of price for it.
What are some of the prize pieces in your collection?
There are so many; IÕve got flametop Les Pauls from Õ59 and Õ60, and some goldtop Les Pauls. I have one particular goldtop... itÕs the best-sounding guitar that IÕve got. IÕve played it on all the records, but I canÕt remember the year it was made.
IÕve got a whole collection of custom-color Strats that are great. I love seeing them all lined up with all the different colors like the powder blue, root beer, champagne, Olympic White and Fiesta Red. I donÕt know all the proper color names, but theyÕre just beautiful.
IÕve also got some vintage Flying Vs Š one with a tremolo, like my new signature model V I designed for Gibson Š I think itÕs a Õ60s model. ItÕs the one in the ŅAre You Gonna Go My WayÓ video. Those are the ones I like best. I do have an original Korina one, too.

I picked up the Darkness' second album and really enjoyed it. Think I'll get the first one as well.
