Friday night they'll be dressed to kill down at Dino's bar and grill The drink will flow and blood will spill If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

70’s Pick of the Week

“The Boys are Back in Town”, Thin Lizzy (1976) 

This song was number one in their native Ireland and charted well (12 in the U.S., 8 in the U.K.) other countries. With twin lead guitars of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson; this song epitomized the male-dominated rock of the seventies. It has been used in just a multitude of things, recently in the show Entourage. It has been covered by Bon Jovi, The Cardigans, Belle and Sebastian, Everclear, and many more.

Hair Band Head-to-Head

Songs Everyone Should Know

“Wanted Dead or Alive”, Bon Jovi, 1987

“Paradise City”, Guns N’ Roses, 1987

Today we put two serious hair bands head-to-head. Look out as they were both at the top of their game when these two beauties came out!

Hair bands were an evolution of glam, hard rock, and heavy metal. The glitzy, but edgy look with fast power chord guitar dominated. Pretty boys with guitars really – but those boys knew how to rock!
