Hard Rock Attributes (and a DIO Tribute)

Explored Aug 29, 2011 #97

The eighties, after exploring synth, early rap and funk music - and Michael Jackson of course - I found my way back to hard rock music.

Took an interest in Motley Crue and went to see the them at the Monsters of Rock in 1984 only to be monumentally disappointed (they even mention it in the book "The dirt" as being not so successful) but it opened my eyes to AC/DC and Van Halen and eventually I found my way back to my roots: Deep Purple, Black sabbath and Led Zeppelin.

I had a jeans jacket with patches and a cartridge belt and my parents didn't like them so I had to leave home with my attributes in a bag and change on the way to the concert.

 

And by the way - let's make this a tribute to Ronnie James Dio.

I saw his concert in Stockholm in 1984 as well. During the decades I saw him perform on several occasions, always a great performer, a fantastic song writer and one of the greatest voices of Rock n' Roll. R.I.P.
