The next generation of rock fans...

I was just supporting Xena's earlier comment, that wasn't relating to your point, don't worry :)

My response to you is the comparison to the horror look.
 
One bunch of men look like girls, one bunch of men look like freaks/horror movies. People laugh at a bunch of men who look like girls, people just think Manson etc. are f**ked in the head :)
 
They probably think the drag queen looking ones are as well. And they probably think Manson etc look funny as well. So its all the same!
 
The bottom line is:

Glam is ultra-cool and awesome and there's nothing funny about it. It sounds, looks, smells and feels awesome! :headbang:
 
....and when I'm 53 years old and the world looks like it does in Back To The Future II, I'll be walking around with my naturally grey hair dyed blonde and teased up with hairspray, still wearing my Vinnie Vincent Invasion top and me and my leather clad VInnie-loving glam rocker wife will be running a glam club as if I'm on Sunset Strip in '88! Not that it will get any business, however haha. And Kiss will be in their 80s and headlining club shows there, with an aging Tuff as support whiel Stevie Rachelle and I keep fighting to keep hair metal alive!!

:headbang: C'mon Spawny, you know you wanna join me in my crusade!

:lol: Get me one of those and im in :) She doesnt even have to like Vinnie :headbang:
 
:lol: :lol:

Nah Gene will probably be running in Parliament at that stage and have someone dressed up as him in Kiss. But Paul will be there, still in a big black wig shakin' it for the ladies in the front row. All three of them, in their '60s, remembering the good days.
 
Spawny you should go to the next No Life Till Leather night in Sydney and find yourself one! Who could resist your mesh top! :headbang: Just glam it up a bit, the girls at those places love it when you glam it up haha!
 
:lol: Ill open the store next week, you can move to Sydney and we will call the store... GLAMTOPIA. Of course. We can give away headbands, spandex and mesh on opening day and encourage stragglers who dress glam to hang outside our store all the time so we can start our own sunset strip. I guess we will have to form a glam band too. So there you go, our lives sorted!
 
And whenever someone asks for a recommendation, Troops will take them around the store and 4 hours later they will have about 987 albums in their arms :)
 
:lol: :lol: That's actually an AWESOME idea!!! Especially the part about starting our own sunset strip hahaha! We'll have to put the store somewhere like Kings Cross or something so the setting is right I think! Instead of a "No loitering" sign or whatever on the window, we'll put "Loiterers must wear makeup, hairspray and glam attire - See instore for supplies" haha!

Seriously though I reckon I'd make the best salesman in a store like that. With my passion and enthusiasm haha, people would be walking out with so many albums!

"Um, excuse me, can you tell me if this is any good?"
"OHHHH DUDE! That album is wicked!! Seriously! Just dripping with attitude, soaked in sleaze, awesome vocals, killer guitars, great songs! And if you like that, check out this one.... you'll love it! Just as good but with even bigger choruses and cooler riffs! Oh and this one too..."

*Half an hour later at the counter, customer hands me 43 albums*

"That comes to $823.50 thanks! Here's your free Glamtopia Roxx The Strip" bandana!"
