The classic [cheesy] rock thread

Fretwired

I was sad to see Michael Schenker hit rock bottom years ago with ex-wife, money issues [his manager pinched his money] and drink problems .. his ex-wife died and he now looks after the kids. He was forced to sell his classic Gibson Flying Vs but the good news is he's back, clean and happy and playing a Dean signature guitar. Here's Doctor doctor with the 'big Dougie' from Scotland on vocals from his recent live album ...

None more cheesy, none more classic than "House of broken love" by Great White - FANTASTIC tone, love the delay at 1:18 and 1:33

Nice ... Guns 'N Roses without with Myles Kennedy standing in for Axl .. still classic and cheesy ... the guys seem to be having great fun ...

@mike_l - I really like "No More Tears". Zakk's playing was nowhere near as over the top and stupid as it is now.

Agreed, he needs someone like Ozzy to reign him in......Left to his own devices he puts in too many pinch harmonics and, as you say @ Bucket, he's just way over the top.

No actual video as such, but this is 1985 in a nutshell.

One of these guys was my mate for a long time.

Terraplane, didn't they evolve into Thunder?

We could do whole thread on the cheesiness of Whitesnake; however, think this just about says it all. It Whitesnake's version of Tush, but DC has rewritten it so instead of singing "I'm just lookin' for some tush.", he sings "I'm just lookin' for some tits."! It's actually very clever if you think about it, and you're 14 years old.

Bad English - When I See You Smile featuring the John Waite. Awful.

While we're on the subject of John Waite, the 1984 'classic' Missing You.  Dedicated to his brother Terry. (Yes I know it's not a contemporary reference).

You have to feel for Matt Sorum in a corner shaking a tambourine, but Adler just has that swing. It's great to see him happy and healthy and playing with the others. 

Also loving that this is the band that played the R&R induction, not the band currently known as GnR.
