Dee Snider's House of Hair Radio show

[Riff Addict]

Does anyone else get the "House of Hair" radio show hosted by Dee Snider that's on Saturdays and Sundays? My local rock station has been airing it for over a year now and it features 80's metal bands only for 2 hours. Its very refreshing hearing the radio play guitar dominated music and vocalists that can actually sing. [img]images/smilies/rock.gif[/img]

Maybe you could call your rock stations and request the show, get some friends to call in also. I'm in Waco, Texas and its a very popular show here. Let's get our music back in the mainstream again!!! [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]

How about my music in the mainstream? wait it never was in the mainstream.

Not that Zappa's not great and I do have respect for him and his music, I've never met one person here in Texas that is a fan of his or that even knows who he is. Zappa fans seem to be a rare breed? Where I come from, 70's and 80's Hard Rock/Metal is very popular. Other than Dee Snider's radio show, the radio plays nothing but Audio Slave and Nickleback. [img]images/smilies/icon_mad.gif[/img]

What was that hit song Dweezil had back in the 80's? I know I liked it but haven't heard it in years. [img]images/smilies/headscratch.gif[/img]

Well...No insult but thats because your in texas (lol). Im not just talking about zappa. Im talking about all sorts of great music, that never was very mainstream in the first place. I just dont like the fact that you seem to over-idealize 80s rock, when theres plenty other things that came in 60s, 70s, and 80s included. Lots of progressive bands that people dont really seem to give a shit about today. People who took risks and experimented. What about the 30's, 40's and 50's? Who says there wasnt plenty of great things happening in music then? Why the obcession with only 80s rock? Because you grew up with it? I certainly didnt grow up with John Coltrane (random example) but i like it. To your dweezil quesiton, i think he brought back "my guitar wants to kill your mama" in the 80s, which was his dad's song anyways. (Dweezil Is a Funny Guy, And Plays Guitar Just Like EVH, but doesnt even come close to living up to his dad)
For Dee Snyder ... hes a hilarious guy. Real cynical at times. On the other hand, i don't think hes done anything good for music LOL.
