Living in Hollywood around 1990 we would hit all the trashy rock shops up and down the Blvd that sold clothes, posters, tour shirts, tapestries, everything. Talk about a candy store, I wish those were still around. I still have so much of that stuff packed away somewhere.

You remembered the Capezios. Took the time to look them up. They're still in business.

Amazing stuff,thank you so much for making these. While it became saturated & cookie cutter,we lost some of “glitz” as you termed it & everything ultimately got painted black. Before GNR put an end to this whole movement.. RATT Invasion of your privacy era to me is the swansong & absolute best visual “brand” of that period. The look,the wardrobe & the whole stageshow was just on another level. And so original.

The 80s definitely had the bands that looked the coolest great video!!

Since we are talkin' fashion, I like that jean jacket

Another amazing topic\episode BRAVO. I was always thinking to myself about these artist\musicians mindset и fashion sense и where\how the scored their threads. You-are-single-handedly keeping the greatest musical era in history alive to us hardcore 1985ROADDOG You are a National Treasure CHEEЯS!

Love this video!!🤘

🤘🏼

Haha! The Z cavarichi and the capizios 😂😂😂

i played a show w Bret Michaels .. Eric Brightingham was on bass... i asked him if he had any old outfits from the Cinderella days... he said it was all built so cheap n crappy , it would fall apart lil more each show haha

70s were the coolest , most all hip kids dressed cool. the chicks were hottt !! tube tops , bell bottoms, heels, scarves.. glad i lived through the 70s !

When I met Paul Stanley he had shoes made out of sea etchant s!

I agree about GnR. It's part of my love affair with them. For some reason, there is a FREAKING TONof pictures of them, always floating around on Instagram. They always look amazing. Part of it is that they were all young and good looking. But it's not just that. Slash looks brooding and mysterious. Axl has a classic face with delicate European features. Izzy looks like a hippie. Duff had that pretty blonde hair. They were all distinct but they all fit together. Somehow they managed to not all look the same, where a lot of "hair bands" do.

That is SO funny because one image that's ingrained in my memory is Duff McKagan wearing a CBGB shirt in Paradise City. That came out in the late 80s. I don't think CBGB was hot like that by then. How did HE get it? Even in Philadelphia, you had to be part of a certain scene to get certain kinds of clothes. All the punk kids hung out on South Street and they shopped at Zipperhead. The black kids were rocking Todd 1 sweat suits. I went to class with those kids and I STILL couldn't figure out where they got it. 😂😂😂

Loved Phil's leather jacket with LAG. On the back seen on the Japan 88 video. Steven Tyler had this long trench or robe like thing wit a cheetah on the back. One of my favorite concert Ts was Motley's Girls tour shirt with the chick riding the missle. Still have one, have many tour shirts put away. Think Shout at the Devil clothes were best.

It's kinda like that with hair today. If you're a dude with long hair, you can't just go into a random hair salon and get an 80s rocker style layered or feathered haircut, most people don't know how to do it or even know what it's supposed to look like. You have to really research and find someone somewhere that knows how to do it right, almost like getting a tattoo. I drive 5 hours to Atlanta twice a year to get mine cut by this girl I know because she's the only person I trust to do it right. Last time I went to a local salon they gave me what was essentially a mullet. In the 80s that was such a common hairstyle that most any regular place could do it, but not anymore.

Always thought the coolest looking bands were paul era Maiden, L.A. Guns, Dio era Rainbow, and Zeppelin. Gnr were cool, but LA Guns just took things darker and edgier imo

When I saw G&R I saw Hanoi Rocks 😐 Duff looked more like Michael Monroe than Michael Monroe 🥂 I grew up with the New York Dolls so I’ve seen it all 💋

Vivian Westwood dressed a lot of them in the 70s

Happy New Year! Absolutely spot-on about it all...I was still going down to T&V to buy crushed velvet biker jackets & Beatle boots in spite of the face of grunge in the early 90's anyway...we still had a little bit of nightlife left! 😁 Of course all this falls on the deaf ears of "the new rock 'n' roll bands", they feel the millennial hipster look's good enough...God bless that kid from The Struts for trying his hardest, though. As for that Greta Van Fleet "Lord Of The Rings" look???😴😴😴😏😏😏😏

Nikki Sixx rocked the cowboy boots and motorcycle chaps for a few years before Guns became famous. That spiked teased hairstyle was original too. He had more style than most of the 80s rockers- he may have been copying from the 70s era, but he made his outfits his own and had great jewelry and jackets. Also, the wrestling shoes Motley wore in the early 80s weren't being done by anyone else. His look kinda fell apart during the 90s, some of those outfits were awful, but he owned that 80s rocker fashion.

Mick Jagger had sweatpants on in the Start Me Up video, I thought that was funny as hell

When I think of the way I used to dress, I am very greatful that camera phones hadn't been invented yet..

You had to go to the porno shops to get clothes. Love your vids. Keep it up.

Do you stay in touch with any of the guys from LA guns?

Why & how do ppl forget that GnR and Slash before GnR were glam? Huge hair, lipstick, ass out of his pants (Axl), eye liner, etc.

I went on eBay and checked out granny takes a trip. Let me tell you something you better have deep pockets, my friend if you wanna buy anything granny takes a trip I’m talking deep pockets.
