Sign in to disble this ad
So I finally got a hold of an old friend from a band I was in back in 1987. We had been searching for this video that his brother had done of us for a school project. We finally found it, if you need a hysterical 80's laugh this should do the trick!!
Seriousy this is too f'n funny! I still wish I had that Ric but the mullet I am glad is no longer.. 
Enjoy!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNIN2JY11RY |

We're still playing. But the singer didn't growup in the 80s (I'm not sure he ever will, which is okay!) |

The drummer and I moved to Los Angeles in 1997 and have been in a bunch of different bands out here. The singer is in Knoxville in a cover band. I'm now in an Irish Rock Band having some fun, funny how over time things change isn't it?
Rawk On!

When I saw Longmeadow TV, I was wondering if it was Western Mass and sure enough next thing I see is downtown Springfield.
I agree that the bassline carried the song.
What kind of grade did your friend's brother get on the project? He did a nice job on the guitar solo - could have worked the girls in a little more, but I met my wife in the 80's so I'm biased.
