80's were great. A time of hope of progress. A time of upward mobility and financial prosperity for the USA.
Music, lots of it was great.
Movies, lots of classics come from the 80's, especially horror and action.
Bodybuilding, it didn't really go to shit until Dorian came in around 91 or 92.
If you want to see a degenerate, fucked up shitty decade full of crap music and movies, just look to the 2000's.
-
Not into music, so that aside, 80s = overrated. The fashion and hairstyles were :-X
90s were better.
-
ok you stick with your black eyed peas, justin beiber, american idol, twilight movies and movie remakes of today
i'll take guns n roses, van halen, arnold movies, horror movies, and shows like cheers of the 80's
the only thing better about the 90's was bodybuilding and seinfeld, the only thing better about today is technology

The 2000's are a fucking write off. That's a shit defense. The 90's and 70's have a much better legacy. People who weren't there still miss it, because of the movies music, Pump iron etc.
The 80's was just some horrible inbetween parody of the 70's, and the direct cause of the 90's.

No one is pretending that the 2000's weren't fucking awful that's not even a fucking question.
my only memory of the whole decade was computers, and a forced rehash of the awful fucking 80's. ;D

How old are you?
Were you even alive in the 80's?
It seems like you are forming your opinion about the 80's based on popculture bullshit like movies and music. What was really happening back then was different. There were a lot of great things happening back then and people were happy.
Look beyond pop culture bullshit.

I like a lot of movies that came out in the 80s. But there's also a whole bunch of them that are really dated.
There were some great movies that came out in the 90s too.

As I said before the lack of condoms, and cheap coke must of been fucking great at the time, but as a legacy it sucked. Of course I'm basing it on music/film/fashion that's the whole god dam point.

the 90's also had gangster rap, the spice girls, nsync, backstreet boys, and one hit wonders like tubthumper and macarena
the early 90's were ok but the rest was shit for music
but damn our sport bodybuilding was so cool back then :'(

Bodybuilding was way the fuck better in the 70's. The music was still way better than that 80's shit. And hiphop trance and shit is still pretty cool for certain ocassions. The 90's were a start of a lot of things, not forgetting the computer.
The 80's was dated 15 years ago and it's only gotten worst in recent years.

Before my time, but I'd prefer the 70's...southern rock bands with 3 lead guitarists and true guitar legends...gritty and violent movies like french connection, dirty harry, vanishing point, etc...loose girls and no AIDS...no cell phones, internet, ipods, etc, that we supposedly cant live without.
The 80's were alright...hard rock had its heyday before burning out...some good movies...fashion was crap but you can say that about every decade

Meh I'm sure any time is great when your young, but in general STOP WITH THIS I MISS THE 80's BS. It's so fucking annoying. The 80's was a shit decade. Just be a little more honest for the love of god and say what we all know your thinking God I wish I wasn't an old fuck.
-
Fuck the 70's and the 80's.
I'd rather live in Southern Mexico around 900 A.D. during the Toltec era.

The 80's rocked dude!!! I'm just now learning to appreciate that era!!! Music and movies were AWESOME!!!

SHUT THE FUCK UP TROLL.

The 80's was great - great music (KROQ style), great live bands (Oingo Boingo, Van Halen, Duran Duran) without all that 'recorded' stuff, great movies, and fun times.
If you weren't there, you wouldnt know - but a ton of people now appreciate it after the boring decade of the 2000's

I was born in the 80's, so 80's rock.

That's the truth. The music in the 80's was great. Lots of awesome rock bands. Metallica, Grateful Dead, Megadeth, Aerosmith, Guns and Roses.
I can't believe this guy Lundgren is slamming 80's music.

Like you are any fucking better? What were you 5 years old in 1986....you were still pissing your pants and watching Sesame Street in the 80s so you can shut the fuck up too.

I was a kid in the 80's but I remember every from 1982 on. Clear memories of the 80's. And when I reflect back on it now as an adult, I can see it from an adult's perspective now.

You remember Bert and Ernie and the Smurfs. You were a child.
Leave discussing the 80's to those of us that actually lived it as young adults and experienced the cultural trends.
I'm sure you were listening to New Order and hitting the clubs at 7 years old. ::)

I started listening to rock music at 5 years old.
My brother and Dad were really into it and they got me into it. Also MTV just hit the scene and I was watching that all the time. When I was 5 I was always blasting rock music on a stereo in the backyard and playing around.
Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Quiet Riot, Poison, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden. All that shit. By the time I was 8 years old I had a huge shelf full of cassete tapes. All rock and rap.
By the time I was only 11 years old I had long hair and I was wearing rock band t-shirts everyday. Straight up rock star is what I am.
-

I know that you are a stupid mother fucker. And when you were 5 years old you were probably still shitting your pants and just learning how to speak. But when I was 5 I already knew what's up. I was already doing all kinds of crazy shit at 5 or 6 years old.
A lot of it was just me following what my brother was doing at that time though.

Why not?
I have quite a few friends that were brought up with heavy metal. Parents were listening to it all the time.

Sure you were.
At 5 you already knew "what's up"........Five years old is Kindergarten you retard....but You were already running the streets with your older brother ::)
You should have said 9 or 10 to make it believable....but that would have fucked up your make-up believe timeline ;)

Depends on the definition of "what's up".
Maybe he was a smart kid, and knew at five that there is no Santa Claus, or that He-Man is stronger than Donald Duck. If you know that at 5 years old, you're the killer in the kindergarten, all the kids will come to you for advice. ::) ::) ::)
-
Yes I was a smart kid. At 6 years old I read Carl Sagan's Cosmos and understood just about all of it. At 6 I was riding my bicycle across town alone.
I don't know what kind of 5 or 6 year old Groink was. But at that age I was already fairly independent and capable of intellectual endeavors.

Late 5 or 6 years old is when I became a fully functional human being.
Sorry it took you 5 years longer than me to get there.

Honestly dude it's not hard to remember, I can remember alot of shit from 5-7 in terms of music.
You keep attacking redstar for trivial shit that is more than believable. I can remember listening to certain songs any time after the age of 3.5 or 4.
Don't be so hard on yourself it's not an easy thing to remember shit that was near a half century ago.

I was a fully functional, inquisitive , VERY bright young child in the 60's....but I wouldn't be so moronic as to say I "lived the 60's" ...I didn't even hit puberty then. See my point?
I LIVED the 80's....the 90's even more so...I was an ADULT who was abreast of all cultural, political and financial trends.....I had girfriends, went to school, WORKED.......not a fucking 6 year old.

80's music was shit?

yes,, it cant be back there,,80s were like taken from magic story,,it can ot be repeat but it can be tried to revive in spirit,,and the moment husein is kicked out is first step,,
americnaos still have freedom but the freedom is sleepy ,,if you notice many ilegal still become legal when marry ,,it all in the law,,you can overstay visa for many yers and still be citizen and green card in americana ,,americanos still have freedom hideen in the law and is utelize when it comes to final decision ,,but! and its big but,,the mexicanos has to be leghalized too,, they HVAE TO ,,and we work on it ,,i cant stand them but they have to be legalize HEV TO BE LEGALIZE,,they also have to learn to speak american and be part of americana ,,it has to be this way no if and no but,,
then a liberterian in heart should be president most liklley leading the republican party because thid party will not fly in americana ,,so liberterian should lead republicans to win and LEAD them not be pussy george bush the son leader but LEADER OF THE FORM OF REGEAN well not reagan but close to reagan,,if only arnold could be president it would be good but even with out him there is this fella somewhere,,
so few steps,,
1 liberterian presidente
2 legalize all mexicanos UNLESS agravated felonies ,,anyother illegal mexicano should be legalized via green card or work program ,,beside the one who did AGREVATED FELONIES AND CONVICTED!
3. thee should be a return to the core ineducation and tv,,it should be more programs that are pre made and comedys and sidcom and less reality show,,the extintion of reality show is a must!
thats the beggining ,,the rest will follow,, it will be very hard to achieve but gh15 believe americana is wanting and willing to be saved

At one point you were saying that he wasn't listening to slayer and shit.
Once everyone pointed out to you that anyone can remember that shit you started changing your story.
This is the point where you say this is just a game, or point out my obvious mental health issues once again.

I will concede its possible that he was listening to that music....although I SERIOUSLY doubt it. It isn't unheard of.
BUT......that little sidebar has nothing to do with my main point.
He was BORN in the 80's... he gonna tell us how they were from an adult standpoint?
"Yeah....87 was a watershed year...i was 6 at the time but i remember it well" Give me a fucking break

Bret Easton Ellis was awesome at capturing the 80s
'you like huey lewis and the news?'
80s was awesome - aas werent banned - no gddamn cell phones - I'd go back anytime and live then

80's were the best party years of my life. The clothes styles, freaky girls, music was cool, MTV videos were at it's best, the movies were hilarious and trendy..........lots of great stuff in the 80's.

Totally agree......Smith and VH were lethal in the 70's. Aerosmith back then were nothing like the Aerosmith of the late 80's and 90's. "Get your wings" "Toys in the attic" and "Rocks" were a 1-2-3 punch of killer LPs that you rarely see bands pull off.
VH was good in the 80's....... "Fair Warning" was their best work IMO....then they got too poppy, but still had their moments
The 80's was all about New Wave if you wanted to listen to good music.....Hair Metal was fucking garbage....I didn't like it then....don't like it now. To me whenever I hear New Order, the Cure or the Smiths it brings me back to the 80's
-
80's were alright... but if you paid attention to the news it was a scary time to be a little kid. my parents got me hooked on reading at a young age so even as a little kid I read a lot of newsweek, time magazine etc. the fear mongering journalism used to scare the shit out of me when I was 6-7 years old... I was thoroughly convinced that I would die by the hand of a soviet nuclear missile or fall victim to a chemical weapon device from libya. if those things didn't get me, acid rain would surely be my demise.
the movies were definitely the strong point of the 80's, helped me weather those harsh and uncertain times ;D

This is true....That's when everyone decided they wanted to be rich....or at least live the "rich" lifestyle.
When i was a kid an oven was a fucking oven and a fridge was a fridge....that was the beginning of everyone "needing" a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Viking range top or they were not "successful"

The 80's was great - great music (KROQ style), great live bands (Oingo Boingo, Van Halen, Duran Duran) without all that 'recorded' stuff, great movies, and fun times.
If you weren't there, you wouldnt know - but a ton of people now appreciate it after the boring decade of the 2000's
Exactly! Those who actually lived throught the 80's and can compare it to the 90s on to today know what a great time it was especially culturally. The 1970s weren't that bad except for the hippies and Jimmy Carter. I wonder how many people even remember the gas lines? You sometimes had to wait for hours to get a tank of gas. I'd like to see people deal with that today. Reagan restored pride and optimism in America and vowed to bury the Soviet Union and Communism. He along with Thatcher did it too. Once gangster rap and the internet came into being things went downhill.

And yet You are in your 20's and you are a fat, balding,lonely mental case who babbles incoherently into a webcam for social Interaction.....wasted youth indeed.
-
the best part of the 80's was the music and movies
E
Agreed. Although not sure about the music but the movies were awesome and they don't make classics like that anymore.
-
I'm sure it was a fun time to be around, lots of sex and drugs. But it's legacy is shit. All it's movies sucked aside from a short few. The music was fucking awful, bodybuilding wents from arnie to just freak bullshit. , and everything else is forgotten.
Discuss. ;)
McGyver, Miami Vice, A-ha, shoulder pads on business suits, yuppie culture, the golden age of techno disco, Friday The 13th and Nightmare On Elm Street, Ronald Reagan(wait, scrap that one out) and the golden age of Arnie, Sly, Van Damme and Steven Seagal. Yeah, I think the 1980s rocked. Best decade ever.

The Irony is you should be living my life and I should be the lonely sap in the basement on his webcam. ....but life is funny like that....not always fair.
lĺl now that how you own somebody :D

best part of the 80's
For the Getbigs guys who hang out near ice machines in Vegas :D
-
OP's mom went freaky in the 80's.......hence he is here.
-
here is what was awesome about the 80s......IMHO
most women left their bush alone
fake tits hadn't gone overboard
bodybuilding was great.....no bloated stomachs......much better shape to the physiques
music was so-so......movies were pretty awesome
would have been fun to be out at gold's venice and world gym during the 80s
steroids were legal at that time
arnie could still be seen at golds and world training for up coming movies
chicks wore those hot leotards in the gym
samir won the olympia in 83
lee haney burst onto the scene
man did he have an awesome physique
we had some great physiques to look up
now we have bloated monsters with gh gut

Not that shit.....a lot of very good rock though.....GnR, Metallica's best stuff, etc...
-
Not into music, so that aside, 80s = overrated. The fashion and hairstyles were :-X
90s were better.

Just keeping the thread honest. There was a lot of good music in the 80's, but it got glossed over in favour of the ready-to-play cheese that was the MTV decade. All that Tiffany, Flock of Seagulls hideousness. I'm embarrassed for my younger self. :P
-
80's was still shit, aside from the nostalga, the 90's did better movies, and the 70's did better music by a long shot.
The 80's was just some horrid inbetween time like the 2000's. Having nostalga for some lame ass time, and believing it was a good time are completely different things.

You forgot aids, feminist taking over, shitty computers, bad guitar tones, electronic drums, faggit hair metal bands, morrisey, culture club, fucking talk shows, cheezy dated special effects in almost every movie, The only good things in the 80's was shit like predator, but it was using the latest filming techniques that became just average in the 90's. Same with T1 vs T2 better special effects better movies.

Pop is, was, and always will be crap geared towards the hollow-headed.

Excellent point, and well said. Another one taken too early. From the first note, an unmistakable sound. Never saw him live, to my shame, but did see the Thunderbirds a couple of times.

Rocky started and was at it's best in the 70's same with Iron maiden. I'll give you commando if you love cliche's , but arnie was in much better shape in the 70's, and his best movie was T2(1991).

yeah 80s were all bad.. gay music.. gay people.. dudes dancing around.. movies like "wild Cats" came out.. everyone was on drugs.. thats my theory
Meh is wasn't bad bad, it was just a transition time, where everything went to shit(coke was a factor). Most bands that were good in the 80's were better in the 90's/70's, with the exception of metalica, even the black album by sales was way the fuck better.
80's was a time when quality control didn't exist, as shit was changing too fast. Inbetween times always suck, as the old gets thrown out for being old regardless even if it was better. The 80's was a time of reinvention anything that worked was carried over to the 90's anything that was unique to the 80's was unique because it was complete shit.
-
Wish I could've seen SRV live. Shame about the 'copter crash. All of us musicians were taken aback by that one.
Thundercats was a little after my time but I'll raise you a Herculoids and call. ;D
Ha! Sorry, bro. My bad. I meant the The Fabulous Thunderbirds, which had Jimmie Vaughn, his older brother in the lineup.
/no idea who, or what, the herculoids are, so ya got me there. ;D

All these bands were in their prime in the 80's.
Priest
Maiden
Metallica
Megadeth
Slayer

Scorpions ( I prefer their 70's shit personally )
Forbidden
Queensryche
Ozzy
Fates Warning
Exodus
Testament
Kreator
Dio
Annihilator
Sacrifice
Death Angel
Suicidal Tendencies
etc etc etc...
Black album sold more the because it sucked ass and the general public likes entertainment that sucks ass.
-
Not even close.
Well I can't account for you liking shit music, maiden and ozzy were way the fuck better in the seventies. Slayer was better in the 90s. The rest is shit music.

Well I can't account for you liking shit music, maiden and ozzy were way the fuck better in the seventies. Slayer was better in the 90s. The rest is shit music.
Maiden's first album was 1980 and Ozzy was still with Sabbath in the 70's. Ozzy's first 2 albums with RR are classics and still revered and Bark and Ultimate Sin with Jake aren't far behind.
You wouldn't know half those bands or their respective 80's catalogs, and I could name off 100 more bands you probably never heard of. Thrash was born in the 80's and it's seminal recordings are all 80's birthed.

Thrash is shit music for the most part. Iron maiden made there repetitive sound in the 70's and everything that followed was just a rehashing. And ozzy was shit compared to sabbath.

Black sabbath created fucking heavy metal, grunge, and nu metal, it was one of the most influential bands ever. Ozzy was shit he had like 2 descent songs, and the rest was pure shit.

You can lump those in with rap/hip-hop as far as musicianship goes.
-
Dude how is that even arguable, every grunge band ever linked black sabbath as a magor influence, and the whole nu metal thing was a going back to the sabbath formula minor pentaonic riffs, versus 80's guitar wanking,
Black sabbath was way better than ozzy.

Here's a clue. All grunge and nu-metal are composed of simplistic tripe, and they, grunge more so, killed music for 10 years. The 90's were a horrible decade for music and musicians, and the music reflected that. Gladly, people came to their senses again in the late 90's, valued a musical education, and learned how to play their instruments again.
Another child of the lame-ass 90's. ::) Great.

Preferred 70's actually, back when their was still some level of taste in music.
The 80's had skill but that's it. No taste, no taste I repeast no taste. From electronic drums, to superstrat shit guitars, transitor amps, absense of bass, super cheezy synths and the list goes on.
The 80's was like a casette, lacks all the good qualities of past(records sound way the fuck better than tapes.) with none of the good qualities of the present(cd's again trump casettes).
But that exactly what the 80's was. Shit all round. Sure every guitarist could wank but the same writing ability was the shits.
Just look at maiden(one of the best bands of the 80s') there song writing was beyond repetitive, because they always had to be hard core or some shit.

What do think about artists like Neil Young who argue that CDs lack the integrity and 'warmth' of LPs?
Careful. It's a trick question. ;)

I agree with you on the quality of 70's music. The music world was quite different than it is today and being different back then was actually a good thing. Not arguing that Sabbath wasn't as great as they are today with regards to their musical influence. I've always referred to them as the first 'real' metal band, but more people are influenced by Metallica, Megadeth, Priest and Maiden than Sabbath these days who all had stellar 80's outings.
Around the end of the decade during 7th Son of a 7th Son, Maiden began to run out of ideas and should have packed it in, imo. But their best works were their first 5 albums. I'd hardly call those songs repetitive a la Nickelback or some Aussie band whom shall remain nameless. ;D Maiden was known for galloping triplets on their rhythms, but there are probably less than 5 songs with that rhythmic style out of the 60 or so songs. Don't know what you mean by 'hard core'.
btw...Back in the 80's we still played vinyl. Cassettes were around but we still mostly listened to LP's unless we were in a vehicle.

LOLOL.....NIckelback
they literally sound like a Mountain Dew commercial........horrib le
i'm kinda in the middle....I wasn't a big fan of the tinny speed metal sound of the 80's or even worse...the hair metal
but I agree that those MFers could PLAY....but music isn't all about muscianship to an average person, or we would all be Jazz fans.
Im sure no one would ever call Kurt Cobian a virtuoso guitarist but he wrote some great songs...absolute classics

Yes, I wasn't a fan of the Compressor/Chorus/Delay solid state sound either. Didn't care too much for hair metal as I consider it pop, for the most part. Hair metal was getting too out of hand by the late 80's and early 90's.
Nirvana, AIC and Soundgarden all made some great music to be sure too, but rock fell off the map for the most part for almost 10 years and went underground after Nirvana hit. There were exceptions of course, Pantera, Tool etc.
Jazz rules btw. ;D

Music went DRASTICALLY DOWNHILL after 83. Thriller by M. Jackson was the beginning of the end... By da way, Jackson's previous album Off the Wall, was pretty damn tight, actually.

So you even admit that the pop 80's music sucked. That's the whole point, popular culture of the 80's was shit. The 70's was great, the 90's wasn't perfect but there was enough there to say it was a time worth living. A band like tool, wouldn't exist in the 80's. The whole point of the 90's was to bring as ascetic to things that were clearly lacking in the 80's.
The 80's was the defintion of lacking taste. The 90's wasn't even that great, but it wasn't tasteless.
The 80's is severely dated, while the 70's/60's is still relevant 40 years later. Because they had a balance in their music that was clearly missing in the 80's.
I'm not saying that anyone alive in the 80's was living under the ussr or some shit any decade sucks/rocks depending on how your doing personally , but the 80's isn't an era with the greatest pop culture.

I've said this many times here. ALL pop culture sucks, regardless of the decade. It's intrinsic to it's nature. Pop culture becomes popular and then feeds that popularity by pandering to the lowest common denominator regardless of artistic value or integrity. Pop culture is about money, nothing more.
You may want to look into the huge resurgence of 80's music in the last 5 years, whilst grunge and nu-metal, both horrible 90's genres, are long dead or dying. The major 80's bands are currently selling out arenas and stadiums around the world.
Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax (and offshoots) influenced vrtually every rock/metal band around today. These bands were also considered to be counter-culture at the time, and as far away from pop culture as one could get. Hence the attraction for so many youths of that time period.

I think the original "Living Colour" reference was to the band, not the TV show.

Cult of Personality is a freakin' GREAT rock song and still rings true to this day......shame they got a little to much "funk" in their "funk-rock" later on.... Leave that stuff to George and Bootsie...
-
Speaking of The Fixx, Asia was also not too bad during the early to mid 80s. Also, Yes' 90125 was a pretty good album.
-
ok you stick with your black eyed peas, justin beiber, american idol, twilight movies and movie remakes of today
i'll take guns n roses, van halen, arnold movies, horror movies, and shows like cheers of the 80's
the only thing better about the 90's was bodybuilding and seinfeld, the only thing better about today is technology

Spot on.

Ledzeppelin black sabbath, tool are all mainstream bands, they obviously are mainstream with certain demographics otherwise not everyone would know?
Sabbath mainstream in the 70's? Not by a long shot. Ozzy garnered more success in the 80's as a solo artist than Sabbath ever did. Top grossing tour of 2010? Bon Jovi, an 80's band. You can include Metallica, U2, and ACDC (who's biggest album came out in 1980 giving them worldwide commercial success) in the same list of top grossing tours of 2010. 80's influence is alive and well. Not one 90's artist made the top 10 grossing tours of last year due to the fact it was 99% crap.
12 of the top 20 highest grossing tours of all time? Yep, 80's artists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_concert_tours
Nothing to rebel against as to why I listen to the music I do. I just prefer more substance to my entertainment.
This is what was the top of the charts in the 70's.
1970
BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER - Simon ans Garfunkel
TRAVELIN' BAND / WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN - Creedence Clearwater Revival
1971
ONE BAD APPLE - The Osmonds
ME AND BOBBY MCGEE - Janis Joplin
1972
WITHOUT YOU - Nilsson
HEART OF GOLD - Neil Young
1973
KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH HIS SONG - Roberta Flack
LOVE TRAIN - O'Jays
1974
SEASONS IN THE SUN - Terry Jacks
DARK LADY - Cher
1975
BEST OF MY LOVE - Eagles
HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN MELLOW - Olivia Newton-John
1976
LOVE MACHINE (Part 1) - Miracles
DECEMBER, 1963 (OH, WHAT A NIGHT) - The Four Seasons
1977
LOVE THEME FROM "A STAR IS BORN" (EVERGREEN) - Barbra Streisand
RICH GIRL - Daryl Hall & John Oates
1978
NIGHT FEVER - Bee Gees
STAYIN' ALIVE - Bee Gees
1979
DO YA THINK I'M SEXY - Rod Stewart
I WILL SURVIVE - Gloria Gaynor
You see Zeppelin anywhere on this list? --> http://www.superseventies.com/singles.html
I see a list composed of 90% crap. This is 70's pop culture. The only place I see people dressed in attire like this are bb'ing shows. (keeping it bb'ing related ;D )

here is what was awesome about the 80s......IMHO
most women left their bush alone
fake tits hadn't gone overboard
bodybuilding was great.....no bloated stomachs......much better shape to the physiques
music was so-so......movies were pretty awesome
would have been fun to be out at gold's venice and world gym during the 80s
steroids were legal at that time
arnie could still be seen at golds and world training for up coming movies
chicks wore those hot leotards in the gym
samir won the olympia in 83
lee haney burst onto the scene
man did he have an awesome physique
we had some great physiques to look up
now we have bloated monsters with gh gut
You could walk into a bar a 1:00 pm walk around a few times... take some chick away from a skinny dude and take her home at 1:30 JUST because you were a bodybuilder. THAT was LA in the 80's training in Venice or Redondo Beach.
Now if you were REALLY f'ing stupid (like me), you ended up marrying some Puerto Rican female bodybuilder who looked hot and that ended your run... but by the time you divorced her AIDS was hitting the scene and the easy pick club scene was gone. Crap.

Hey Max_Rep, remember "The Raintree" on the corner of Torrance Bl/Hawthorne near Albertson's? That's where we'd go when we struck out everywhere else. Not high quality but easy pickins.

Actually Raintree was in the shopping center on the corner of Torrance Blvd. and Anza where Pavillion's was (now remodeled into a Von's as of 2 months ago). The place where Raintree was is a Scrapbooking place now. I live right in the same neighborhood. The Car dealerships are in fact on Hawthorne and Guitar Center is on Artesia.
Strike out anywhere else? Never. I heard about such a thing happening to OTHER guys... ha, ha! Yes Raintree was cool because I go dressed up a little (from Annebel's my favorite place). I'd where a nice shirt and tie and walk into Raintree like I owned the place. It worked.
Anabel’s, Tequila Willies and Osco’s on LaCienega… there were also a couple places in OC but I don’t recall the names. Those were my sure to not be alone tonight spots.

You're right. Torrance/Anza. I use to live right on Prospect and Torrance Blvd for a while. And Annabel's -- with Fat Burger right down there within walking distance. That's where I went with Gracie (the chiropractor with the big boobs) when we first met at the club. I was always first class all the way. She had designs to compete in fitness or something like that and was lecturing me on how unhealthy it was and yakking about saturated fat. I'm like, whatever, give me a Double King with a side of Fat Fries and extra grease please.

It's a joke, Apenus. That's right, you heard me! I called you Apenus! And that's what I will call you from now on in honor of the Big Man who is now in HEAVEN! That's right -- HEAVEN!

Its Apenis. And OnlyMe didn`t believe in heaven or at least he never mentioned it on here.

I will correct the spelling in future posts. And just he never mentioned it here doesn't mean anything. Maybe you should ask his daughter.

You're right. Torrance/Anza. I use to live right on Prospect and Torrance Blvd for a while. And Annabel's -- with Fat Burger right down there within walking distance. That's where I went with Gracie (the chiropractor with the big boobs) when we first met at the club. I was always first class all the way. She had designs to compete in fitness or something like that and was lecturing me on how unhealthy it was and yakking about saturated fat. I'm like, whatever, give me a Double King with a side of Fat Fries and extra grease please.
One time when I was at my biggest and studliest, I left Anabel’s and decided to go to Fatburger. I was sitting there just got my Double Kingburger with cheese and a fight broke out. No need to stop eating cause I was at a calorie deficit for the day and I could feel myself shrinking minute-by-minute. So I sat there eating my burger while five or six guys were fighting all around me. After it was all over I was walking out and 2 girls were sitting in their car. They stopped me and told me they were cracking up because I was totally un-phased by the fight. I just said “hey it was good entertainment to go along with my meal”. So they invited me home with them. Desert was good as well.
Do you remember the brothers who were surfers that hung out at Anabel’s? I think there were 2 or 3 of them, long braided hair. Pretty tough guys. I think one of them was in Pointe Break with Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves.

Nothing deters a bodybuilder when he's going catabolic.
I remember exactly the brothers you were talking about. The chicks loved those guys. I hated them. And yes, one of them was in Point Break with Swayze. It was then that it became clear to me that I hated him the most.
The eighties up to about the mid nineties where the good days. Once gangsta rap started dominating the culture and then the internet, MTV... all started going down the toilet.

To keep it bodybuilding related I want to mention something about Arnold. Because there are some threads about him and his acting, or lack thereof, abilities and how he never really made great movies. Maybe so, but it mattered, at least to me, that it was Arnold on that screen.
When I was a teen and read his first book, his autobiography, I thought it was a bit odd, maybe even a little bit conceited, that a guy in his early thirties is already writing his biography. There was also a part in that book where he mentions how he's going into acting and going to be a millionaire and all that stuff. And how in his mind he was already successful and accomplished all that it was just a matter of going through the motions. That made me think about that scene in PI where he tauts Louie and his dad that he already called his mom and told her he win. That in his mind is was already a done deal. It's just a matter of going through the motions. I remember scoffing at him reading that boast in his book. At his arrogance. That there are some things in life you just can't control. You can't make people like some muscle man, with a funny accent and an unpronounceable and "unspellable" name and accept him as a leading man on films.
Max_Rep might remember that there was point in his first campaign for governor where Arnold started acting like he already won. The press were mocking him because he was already hiring his staff, making plans for his office, getting his kids pre-enrolled in the schools in Sacramento. It was like in his mind he already won the election and it was just a matter of going through the motions. When I saw him on TV talking like he was already the governor and all the things he was going to do it was then I knew he would win.
It's like Arnold is one of those few men in history that can determine his own fate and destiny through sheer force of will.
And it was in the 1980's that he let the world know who he is. And I can't think of a more recognizable person in this world than Arnold. And seeing
Arnold on the screen during the eighties, knowing that he really was going to make his mark in this world, rise above an obscure subculture that most find odd and a bit weird, mattered because he was one of our own. He made me smile that he even had a large contingent of his meat head friends from the good days raising a ruckus and making themselves heard during his inauguration.

Yeah the chicks loved those guys but I still did alright. I always thought it was one of them in PB.
One of these guys:
I agree with your post about Arnold... I've never seen anyone else so causative over the outcome of their life simply by sheer will. Too bad he wasn't that way over the California economy.

The thing about Arnold is that many "normal" people that I know, by normal I mean those who don't make any kind of physical training, or bodybuilding. So when I bring up Arnold name around them, they ALL say that he is stupid and not very intelligent. And I tell them if he really was such a moron then he wouldn't have advanced in life the way that he has. Also I tell them that I believe he has a genius IQ with regards to the sub-genre of "social" IQ

He couldn't handle touring and forced himself out of the band.
He was just in the news yesterday and is facing jail time due to playing gigs while he was collecting disability.
Didn't he have a drug problem also ???
