Even more cringey for me is seeing ‘ New Kids on the Block’ singing their old bubble gum pop hits. 50+ old men trying to pretend they are 20 years old.

Shout at the Devil was a great album. They only had a few songs after that that I liked.

My favorite track off that album:

I looked up the US Festival on Wikipedia.



Sunday, May 29 (Heavy Metal Day)

Quiet Riot
Mötley Crüe
Ozzy Osbourne
Judas Priest
Triumph
Scorpions
Van Halen


The price for a three-day ticket was $37.50 [3] (approximately $100 in 2021 money.) So you could see all seven of these bands at this festival for about what a combo meal at Arby's costs today.

I took my 7th grader son to his first concert. He chose Motley Crue. It was the Carnival of sins tour. He loved the boob cam.

It has nothing to do with our current economic situation. Has everything to do with musicians making their money from touring, not record sales.

I have a $10 front row ticket stub from Ozzy in the mid 80's. $16 Scorpions tickets in the 90's. Tours existed to promote record sales. 2021 is a different era.
