Click on this jpeg for a larger view. I dedicate this most righteous chart to my dear friend Amie S. A) She could use a good laugh today, and B) She is my friend with whom I share custody of our 1 precious copy of “Hard Rock Love Songs of the 80’s”. Be prepared to study. No one can fully appreciate the science of naming Heavy Metal Bands in the first pass. This data must be absorbed again and again. Now if you’ll excuse me I have a bandana to put on which will allow me to properly JAM OUT to “November Rain”. The long version, as if you even needed to ask.

Excuse me Andrew Lloyd Weber, sir – when did you become a hard rock fan? I don’t recall you going to Aerosmith with me or scheming to go to Monsters of Rock. Just for verification – who is the lead singer of Guns N’ Roses? Please include date of birth. Finally, of all the things you “borrowed” from my bedroom in high school, I don’t recall my Led Zepplin collection being one of them. Who are you and what did you do with my Evita-loving-Les Miserable obsessed sister? – Gus
Allow me to share a movie quote from PCU; a ‘classic’ from 1994. To set the stage, the group is trying to settle on a name for their band:
Katy: What about Naugahyde Windpipe?
Cecilia: Too metal.
Raji: Oedipus and the Mama’s Boys.
Cecilia: Too college radio.
Deeje: My Johnson Is 12 Inches Long.
Cecilia: Interesting, but I don’t think it’s a band name.
If you haven’t had the pleasure of watching PCU, I recommend it!

Gus,
His name is Axl Rose, and his birthdate is tattooed on your ankle. Just jokes!
What I missed in high school (oh great wild sister of mine), I made up for in college. Or have you forgotten the night I told you I HAD to date Ross because he had Metallica box set and that was just too awesome?
Evita is the greatest musical of all time,
Lori
P.S. Thanks for commenting!
I am SO over the hill on this battle of the bands! I’m sticking with The Beatles, The Beachboys, Billy Joel and Bing!!
