When Hair Metal Was King: The Sunset Strip in the 1980’s

Guns N’ Roses was a Los Angeles band. They had all met during the 1980’s on the Sunset Strip. An important part of their story involves the Strip during that time. In order to understand the group as a band, I think it is relevant to take a look at the music scene in LA in the early to mid-1980’s. The Sunset Strip had long been a hotbed of rock music in the 1960’s and the 1970’s. In the late 1970’s, the music scene became grittier and dirtier as bands went from glam rock to punk rock. Yet, everything began to change into decadence with the arrival of Motley Crue in 1981.

A new genre of music, glam or hair metal, began to overtake the Strip fully embraced by Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, and Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. As they began to make a name for themselves musically at clubs along the Strip, they moved into an apartment right by the Whiskey A Go-Go. They would hold after hours parties at their place that soon took on the stuff of legends. Vince Neil would later say, “We played the Whisky, half the crowd would come back to our house and drink and do blow, smack, Percodan, quaaludes, and whatever else we could get for free… There would be members of punk-scene remnants like 45 Grave and the Circle Jerks coming to our almost nightly parties while guys in metal newborns like Ratt and W.A.S.P. spilled out into the courtyard and the street. Girls would arrive in shifts. One would be climbing out the window while another was coming in the door.” He would go on to say in his autobiography, “We’d get drunk, do crazy amounts of cocaine and walk the circuit in stiletto heels, stumbling all over the place. The Sunset Strip was a cesspool of depravity.” The group would be discovered by a record company talent scout who saw the hundreds of kids wearing tight leather and big hair waiting in line to see them. Soon enough, more and more bands began to pop up including W.A.S.P. and LA Guns. A little later groups like Faster Pussycat Kill and Poison showed up on the scene. These bands begin to do more and more outrageous things in order to bring attention to their live show. For example, W.A.S.P. would throw raw meat into the crowd. Not to be outdone, Motley Crue would have Nikki Sixx pour gasoline on his leather pants, then at some point Vince Neil would set him on fire during the show.

One of the centers of the metal glam scene on the Strip was Tower Records. The store was for the most part completely employed by local musicians. Some would say that when you walked into the place; everybody that worked there looked like they were in Motley Crue. Axl Rose would become a manager at Tower, even hiring Slash to work there until he was fired. Columnist Alison Martino recalls, “Everybody from Elton John to David Bowie to Van Halen, they were all in Tower Records. I saw all of them there, buying their own records. I remember seeing Valerie Bertinelli with her mother at Tower Records the week that ‘Jump!’ came out. They used to have on the wall all the number one singles. I remember she went up to the cover of the ‘Jump!’ 45 and turned it around to see Eddie’s face and left it that way.”

Headbangers would line up all along the Strip at night, so much so that you could not even walk on the sidewalk. They would all be waiting to get into clubs like the Troubadour, Roxy, Gazzara’s, the Whiskey, and more. More than 75 bands would be competing for headlining slots at these clubs, which would eventually include Guns N’ Roses. For a while, this was merely a local music phenomenon until Quiet Riot released their album, Metal Health, eventually reaching number one on the charts. This event changed everything as record companies began to sign Los Angeles-based hair bands left and right from that moment on. Hair metal represented the most popular kind of music in the country. This led to people migrating from the northwest like Duff McKagan or from the Midwest like Izzy Stradlin and Axl Rose to become rich and famous chasing their rock and roll dreams. Another such band was Poison, who came all the way from Pennsylvania sensing that Los Angeles was the only place that they could make their name. As these bands fought for fans along the Strip, advertising on a flyer became ultra competitive. There would be flyers posted everywhere promoting in the most creative of ways usually emphasizing sex and drugs. Each morning, along with the plethora of booze bottles lining the streets, there could be found fliers everywhere making Sunset Boulevard look like New Orleans after Mardi Gras.

Another center for the hair band movement on the Strip was the Rainbow Bar and Grill. This place opened in 1972 to host rock and Hollywood royalty like John Lennon, Ringo Starr, John Belushi, and Elton John. Lemmy Klimster of Motörhead had become a mainstay at the corner of the bar for a very long time playing games on the video machine. Tommy Lee offered up this assessment of the Rainbow. “When the clubs began to close, we’d go to the Rainbow. The place was set up like a circle, with the coolest rockers and richest deviants sitting at the center tables. Guys had to be twenty-one to come into the club, but girls could be eighteen. The guys would sit at their regular spots and the girls would walk around the ring until they were called over to someone’s empty chair... Afterward, everyone would spill out into the parking lot: Randy Rhoads, Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, would be hanging upside down from a tree screaming while junkies tried to score dope and everyone else tried to scam on girls.” No matter where you went along the strip at that time, you were bound to see some sort of insanity going on. Stephen Pearcy, lead singer of Ratt recalls, “I saw so many people f*** on the lawns behind Gazzarri’s that I actually got bored of watching and started to throw empty beer cans at them.” For its part, the Rainbow usually only saw people having sex in the bathroom stalls, not its lawn, but on occasion the dumpster.

The strange but true thing about all of these bands trying to get discovered on the Strip was that they were seemingly connected in some way. The 6 degrees of separation of all these groups has been noted by writers looking back at that music scene. Slash almost ended up in the band Poison. Tracii Guns of LA Guns helped to form the Guns found in Guns N’ Roses. GNR had a bit of a feud with Motley Crue, who’s founder Nikki Sixx once played in a band with Tracii Guns. The feud would later escalate to national headlines as guitarist Izzy Stradlin began hitting on Vince Neil‘s wife at a party. Axl Rose then got involved, which saw Vince Neil state on MTV News that he wanted to challenge Rose to a fight anytime, anywhere. For this reason, you cannot compare Seattle’s music scene to the Strip because to this day a lot of those bands that are still connected absolutely hate each other. These musicians would actually be members of multiple bands at any one time. In a VH1 documentary, the drummer from Quiet Riot said that before they were signed to a record deal, he had been in at least five bands at one time. One of the reasons for this also emerged in the fact that playing these clubs did not make you any money. All of these groups that would become very famous and very rich in the next few years were also struggling to find enough to eat or a place to sleep. For their part, Guns N’ Roses lived in a tiny apartment infested with cockroaches and squalor. Journalists have referred to their existence before Appetite For Destruction as street urchins. Their only saving grace was the financial assistance of waitresses and strippers, who served these bands as groupies. The females in Los Angeles at that time were completely enamored with any guy in a hair metal band. Half the time, they did not even care if you were any good or not.

With the arrival of Axl Rose on the music scene, one thing stood out at that time. Word began to spread that there was this singer, who gave off this incredibly intense and mesmerizing energy every time that he performed. The other guys in GNR always had to audition for any group, but Rose was wanted by every band on the scene that did not have a singer. Everyone wanted him to front their band. The second that this happened probably was the beginning of the end as far as Axl acting in any way humble towards his other bandmates. The question now becomes as to how the particular members of Guns N’ Roses actually came together. One answer to that was that Rose truly wanted to be in a band with Izzy Stradlin. They had been in one together with Hollywood Rose, but at the time of GNR’s formation, they were still trying for their own band. As for the other members, it represented a situation of the right place at the right time. Slash could have been in Poison by that time, but he still remained a free agent. Tracii Guns could have decided that he wanted to remain in that group with Axl Rose, but he did not. One important thing to remember is that unlike other groups, the guys in Guns N’ Roses really did not know each other too well when they got together. Axl and Izzy had been friends, while Slash, Steven Adler, and Duff knew each other quite well.

As for the scene itself, by the time of the release of Appetite For Destruction hair metal was slowly beginning to wear out its welcome. The death knell would not occur until the arrival of grunge in 1991. Yet, GNR did contribute just a little bit to this backlash as they represented something that was very anti-hair metal. They went out of their way to make sure the media portrayed them as a rock band like the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith, instead of any kind of hair metal band. Their behavior and actions followed up on this. Bands of that time like Poison and Motley Crue had gotten more and more outrageous and ridiculous in their blatant attempts to gain the attention of this new MTV generation. GNR changed things a little bit because everything that they did from drugs to sex to fights to snarky interviews was meant to be 100% real. For a time, the band had teased their hair and put on glam makeup, but they quickly stopped doing that for a new image. They made an overt attempt to scare the crap out of people showing fans and writers alike that they did not give a shit about anything or anyone, except themselves. This is not to say that each member was completely selfish, but instead that the only thing that mattered in their lives was the band. By the early 1990’s, this camaraderie between band members was slowly withering away as Rose began to exert more and more control over the group. The arrival of Nirvana and the bands from Seattle signaled the end of this music scene being the epicenter of popular rock in the United States. The death of River Phoenix in 1993 at the Viper Room foreshadowed the end of the strip as party central. Soon enough, more and more hotels began to pop up as that part of Los Angeles soon embraced tourists, rather than local musicians.

[TRANS] Somi interview with STAR1 Magazine (Feb 2017)

Jeon Somi "Challenge? Will stop with audition programs now"

To Jeon Somi (16), 2016 is a year that she cannot forget. She debuted as in idol from being a trainee through Mnet "Produce 101", and went to different variety programs while showing her talent. With I.O.I's last performance coming up, Jeon Somi who is busy daily with 'Very Very Very'. An interview with Jeon Somi who is welcomed as much as the first snow.

Q. It's already your third filming with Star1. We meet again after 3 months.

That's right. It has already been 3 months? Time has passed really quickly. Now that I think of it I.O.I's first shoot was done with Star1. We were really nervous back then. Haha. Because it was our first magazine filming after the broadcast program. Also 3 months ago, I has a shoot together with Nayoung and Yoojung unnie. I did with the unnie but this time I'm shooting alone with Star1. It has to appear well. (Laughs)

Q. Congratulations to I.O.I for the Rookie Award. Are there any words you couldn't say in your speech?

The Rookie Award was presented by TWICE unnies. It has a really strange feeling. They were unnie whom I had spent time with and I also went on an audition program with them. As I was receiving the award from them, there was a different emotion from the rest. It's fascinating that I'm in a different team from the unnies. As I received the awards, I was really proud of myself. More than anything else, the thankful feeling towards Mnet and nation producers has grown. If not for nation producers, I will not be in that prosition. Also I.O.I unnies have worked really hard. Because while being in I.O.I, they still have to promote in other groups. I feel good as the results seemed to be worth the year spent.

Q. 22 January's performance was I.O.I's last schedule.

We prepared really hard for the performance. We had lots to show the fans. Also, there is a reversal stage to show I.O.I's sexy side instead of the cute I.O.I, I'm not sure how people watched and received it. Haha. I hope that our performance will stay in fan's memory fr a long time.

Q. When I.O.I ends, what do you think you'll miss the most?

I think I'll miss everything. It's a pity and I'll miss fans who have been supporting and sending us unconditional affection. Although we knew this was only fora period of time and started off, it's a pity to separate with the members. I.O.I members will begin their individual promotions, I look forward to the images they will appear with in future.

Q. You are the MC f a music program so is there a performance you desire?

I really want to try a special stage! With UP10TION's Wooshin oppa who is an MC together with me. Oppa will sing I.O.I's 'Very Very Very' and I will sing 'White Night'. I think it'll be really fun. Actually this was something I often told me the writer unnie. Haha.

Q. There was a fan who got full marks in the entrance exams and got approval as a successful Jeon Somi fan.

I know that fan's name too. Lee Young Rae nim! It's fascinating and I'm thankful that someone receives strength from looking at me. I'm really proud looking at that fan's hardworking side and hearing that be gained strength and the moments when he worked hard in his subjects.

Q. In Mnet 'Produce 101' you were approved as the idol's center by the nation. What do you think is the reason you received huge love?

Honesty? I am not pretentious. Haha. I saw comments when PD 101 was airing and I knew this through a comment that said "I don't hate this kid even though she talks honestly." Actually why is there need to not be honest.

Q. There will be a male version of PD 101. Give a tip as the nation's center.

Just like what I said earlier, to be honest! If you think while saying your stories everything will be releaved. Ah! And forced crying. Not hiding your emotions and you should smile when you're happy and it'll be good to have honest actions. Those kind of sides will touch viewer's hearts one by one. When practicing for 'Yum Yum' I happily enjoyed myself and didn't feel obligated. It wwas the same for 'BANG BANG'. Actually 'Excitement is the best way'.

Q. The best thing you want to compliment yourself for being in 2 survivals?

The fact I challenged myself again. After Mnet 'SIXTEEN' I practiced and I had many concerns regarding the company's suggestions about going n PD 101. There was a huge burden about JYP's Entertainment image. I was afraid I heard words like 'Worse than I expected'. It was a relief I made up my mind and participated with the heart to work hard and not avoiding the company's image. Haha.

Q. You have busy schedules. Won't VitaSom receive stress too? Ways to relieve stress?

If I can't sleep for a few days, I listen to music. My favourite and most istened to album is Justin Bieber's 'Joyrnals'. I even have a Justin Bieber concert T-shirt. I also listen to all songs by DAY6. Honestly I don't match well with ballads.

Q. If you received a day of holiday, what would you want to do most?

I want to ride around with my bike. Going around my house's neighborhood with my bike. It'll be good to cycle with my dad, I also want to visit all hidden tasty restaurants.

Q. If you had to challenge yourself again?

I want to challenge cooking! Not an audition program. Haha. (Jung) Chaeyeon unnie appeared on tvN 'Eat Sleep Eat', I want to appear on it. I can eat really well. If you asked how well I eat I appeared no KBS2 'Battle Trip' with Kyulkyung unnie and even ate pig's brain. It was not bad? It was like tofu. Haha.

Q. To Jeon Somi, what kind of year was 2016?

It was unfrgettable, and it was a year that became a turning point for me. Thanks to PD 101 I stopped being a trianee and got to debut. At first when I started I was filled with concerns and uncertainties. Ah, the most memorable was when we had our first showcase. When I hear the 'JYP' part in the song Park Jin Young PD-nim gave to us, it was really fascinating. Also when I was 1st in PD 101. When I heard 'JYP's Jeon Somi' I sank to the ground. Honesty, I didn't know if I was 1st or 2nd but when I heard my name, my legs got wobbly. I will never forget how I felt that day for my whole life.

Q. If you had to place a noun in front of the name Jeon Somi?

Never ending Jeon Somi. I believe in my age (laughs). It was not ended yet. (SHINee) Taemin sunbaenim is still at his peak. I want to promote without an end like that too. Because Jeon Somi is 'I'll be back' so don't think that Somi is gone and I hope everyone will be waiting for me. Hahaha.

Translation: JEONSOMI_INTL | Please take out with full credits

Bruce Lee Quotes About Life, Love and Water To Inspire You

Our latest collection of Bruce Lee quotes that will help you achieve personal growth.

Bruce Lee, born as Lee Jun Fan on November 27, 1940 in San Francisco, California in the hour and the year of the Dragon, is a well-known actor and martial artist.

Although he was an actor from the age of three months onward, his initially gained popularity for his role in The Green Hornet, a show that aired from 1966-67.

After a major back injury and upset at the lack of decent acting roles coming his way, Lee moved back to Hong Kong in the summer of ’71. In Hong Kong, Lee signed a contract for two films – Fists of Fury and The Chinese Connection.

Both of these films received bad reviews from US critics but broke major box office records in Hong Kong. By 1972, Bruce Lee was a huge celebrity in Asia despite not being very popular in the states. He began a Hollywood project, Enter the Dragon, but died a month before its release at the age of 32.

When Enter the Dragon was released posthumously, Lee became officially recognized as a film icon. Enter the Dragon earned more than $200 million, but Bruce Lee’s legacy didn’t end there.

Despite Lee’s early and mysterious death, his legacy as a martial artist and an actor lives on with the likes of Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris.

Even today Bruce Lee lives on and is revered as an actor and a premier martial artist, because he didn’t let Hollywood being unready for a major Asian actor stop him from achieving his dreams.

34.) “Self-knowledge involves relationship. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Relationship is a process of self-evaluation and self-revelation. Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself – to be is to be related.” – Bruce Lee

35.) “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. – Bruce Lee

Inspirational Bruce Lee quotes

37.) “Time means a lot to me because you see I am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing.” – Bruce Lee

38.) “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”– Bruce Lee

39.) “Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.” – Bruce Lee

63.) “A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard.”– Bruce Lee

64.) “I am not teaching you anything. I just help you to explore yourself.”– Bruce Lee

65.) “Simplicity is the key to brilliance.”– Bruce Lee

66.) “If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”– Bruce Lee

67.) “The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be.”– Bruce Lee

69.) “You will never get any more out of life than you expect.”– Bruce Lee

70.) “The world is full of people who are determined to be somebody or to give trouble. They want to get ahead, to stand out. Such ambition has no use for a gung fu man, who rejects all forms of self-assertiveness and competition”– Bruce Lee
