F*ck the PMRC! Still have my shirt!

She looks more beautiful here rather than in original video clip.😮

Jr was the biggest advocate for slime literally

Incredible performance, the best.

Esse ,album consolidou ,o the cult .de mais abrindo para 3ssa geração mas nova. Que não conhece a banda .esse album ,é im dos mehores do "cult" album perfeito .viceral

They did give a lot of attention to a pretty much non-existant problem, that amplified the sales of the mostly PG13 material that was out there being elevated to revered status, but opened the door to hardcore and porn rap that really ushered in a truly dangerous level of misoginy and actually DID probably screw up a FEW kids... it really made what they feared happen more than it helped... Then the industry dug its own grave with their own greed so that no bands and no record companies can truly make a living off music, good or bad. Very little good music is being made until they can prevent piracy... which now is being done by NOTHING even being made that is even worth pirating. Lol.

Like this guy who tried to get publicity by faking an abduction an beating, could really have anything to say about morality... so glad he faded into deserved obscurity.

PMRC helped make rock and metal even bigger and more popular. I grew up during it all and graduated in 1990 and I loved it and still do

Oh shoot what time is it? A-Team is on!

I know he's got the piece! Badass funny. Jimmie used to play Cream and Hendrix when he was 17. The blues got to him concurrently and he had a major stylistic shift hence his "minilimist" playing. One listen to the record "Girls Go Wild" and technical has almost no meaning... yet it is technical... technical blues, man. Try doing that. The coolness factor here on J.C. off the charts.

The PMRC was a complete failure because let’s face it, a young person who has not matured yet will look at this warning label and become even more curious about how bad the lyrics really are. 😎👍🏻

Good good stuff here. I love Robert Cray!

Cindy Blackman is my favorite lady drummer. The way she slips in that slightly ghosted downbeat on 3 knocks me out. I've seen dozens of bands cover Fly Away but their drummers always miss it.

Luv tbis song...wish they had more albums. Their biggest hit...Tuff Enough.

I thought that was Lars 22:53

one hit wonder

He ain't fraid, you go boy..

No wonder I stopped watching TV in the 90s. Trump is a POS!

Wow... @57:04 Just 8 years after this episode aired, Morton was diagnosed with lung cancer and had one lung removed. He became an anti-smoking activist for the last five years of his life, passing away in 2001.

As a 58 yr old man and lived thru all of this, for JJ to sit there and actually say that he's never seen drugs or alcohol and metal bands were nothing but professional is a total croc of 💩

She married Paul Simon

Is Morton Downy Jr. the one who falsely claimed that he was attacked by skinheads and drew a swastika on his forehead, but since he drew it himself using a mirror, it was backwards… was that him???

Saw him 2 nites ago at Tanglewood with the pops!! Incredible!!!!

The funny thing today is that Dee Snider has totally sold out to the left..when mask mandates came out he along with Sebastian Bach, Tommy Lee, Axls Rose yelled at everyone online and are raging progressive liberals..

I think Mort is pretty sympathetic to Jennifer here. Hard to hear her sometimes over the raging crowd trying to say that parents are allowed to love and care for their own kids. Thank you Jennifer for your courage when its so easy to just go with the flow!

i'm 60 years old and still a metal head playing in a death metal band. \m/

Metal?? What is this metal that I keep hearing of? 😂

Jimmie is the man!....🤟🤟🤟👍

Sorry to report that the 🥞 special at IHOP is no longer 2.16 ....

I wonder if Jennifer has ever had an orgasm since the filming of this.

I can't believe "Crazy Eddie" ads were still running in 1989. He was in serious trouble by that point.

To me the song suicide solution is about how alcohol is a slow but sure death. They played an isolated guitar riff and judged the proverbial book by its cover.

WWOR

She was addressing Rap more than Rock, she was ahead of the curve

Guitar solo of 8 seconds no no no

Parent's couldn't stop us in the 80s

The best times ever 80s

Try living in today's world. That music back then was PG compared to today's music.😂

Boomers 🙄 no wonder young kids hate old people. Self righteous evil piles of 💩

JJ French wearing a “ Johnny lives dangerously“ t-shirt. That’s an old cable show from Manhattan New York City, I was on it with him back in the 90s!

I saw more drunken fist fights the one time I saw Toby Keith than I did all three times I saw Cannibal Corpse. Just sayin'. 😁

What I truly appreciate about Cheap Trick is their versatility. You really can't place them in one column or another. Yes, they rock. Yes, they sing pop. Ballads? You bet. They write unique songs and if they cover another artist - Elvis, Beatles, John Lennon - they put a different spin on it. Robin is as much an actor as he is a lead singer, taking on a new role with each song. 💓🤘🏼🎸

French was full of crap..I saw no drug use.😅 Aerosmith, Ratt,??? Lol

that blond at the podium (The Great Kat) has more musical talent than everybody else in that room combined.

By 1989, Twisted Sister was done. How many other "rock" musicians turned down this opportunity before JJ says yes, LOL! Also, French is lying about the drugs and alcohol since he claimed to have shared the stages with Ratt, Metallica and Motley Crue-3 bands who drank a lot and did many drugs - FACTS!

Remember the day when you could go to IHOP or Denny’s with four people and your check would be six dollars that’s if you just drink water lol

I just love this band.They always give their all when performing. Cook Beans!!!

Did he really say he has never seen drug use at a rock show? Credibly gone.

Morton Downey Jr was a pig and a hypocrite.

59 still a metal fan in 2024, I was in an Army uniform at 17 for 21 years. I'm a grandfather of 20 grandchildren 7 grown children. It was a grift, just like Elvis was with his hips they wouldn't show on TV. The Green deal is a grift, just as fluorocarbons in the 70s. The polar ice caps were supposed to be all melted by 2000. Wake up sheep. It's amazing what people get indoctrinated with.
