I'll just leave this here. Two of the greatest guitarists ever. From the 1976 film Welcome to My Nightmare.
Quoted from Methos:I think should always be higher on everyone's list is WASP.
I got thrown out of a Wasp concert for stage diving, but snuck right back in.
Guess I'm just a Wild Child.
Quoted from Krupps4:I love that version of Sweet Jane. It doesn’t get any better!
Guitar World rated that solo as one of the greatest of all time in the top 100.
Wild Child by WASP.
This song has as much harmony as any Dokken song. In an interview, Blackie Lawless said his only regret was he was an exceptional baseball player, good enough to play pro.
Quoted from cottonm4:They are not bad. I never heard of them. But Googling and they are still around 38 years later. Sold 12 millions albums.
They threw raw meat into the crowd. lol.
In The Decline of Western Civilization, The Metal Years, there is a memorable scene with their guitarist Chris Holmes talking with his mother and the interviewer while floating on a raft in a pool. Very memorable.
I bet some of you here would have loved to have been at this extravaganza of an anniversary party.
I even bought the T-shirt.

Quoted from cottonm4:Quiet Riot
They played my high school with this lineup. Someone mentioned the guitar player earlier. He won the battle of the bands that day. I voted for him.
I became friends with the bass player and his wife later while he was running a video rental store, during a time when he was trying to come out of grieving. Some of the nicest and coolest people I ever had the pleasure to meet.

Irvine Meadows when that came out. They were trading off headlining with Great White on that tour, and Tesla got the nod that night. Blew some hair back for sure. Yes, I finally remember what was decent about the 80s. We were reliving the 70s.
Quoted from Methos:Little Suzi, Chagnes, and Getter Better were great tunes. They used to be played on the radio all the time.
Let's not forget "I'm a cowboy in the modern world"
I have a real special treat for you guys tonight. Greg Giuffria, Punky Meadows, and their band Angel.
The most amazing hair to ever grace a stage.
Quoted from Methos:I have a few singles from Angel in my jukebox. They were touted as the ying/yang to KISS (both were on Casablanca), but it never happened for them.
I went to their concert promoting the third album and it was not very good. The warmup band The Godz was more fun to watch. I did however somewhat like Angel's second album Heluva Band when I was a teenager.
Quoted from VanishingVision:they never got better than High 'n' Dry.
I agree with that. We did a lot of hearty partying with that one blaring.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:David Bowie the original
And his buddy Mick Ronson. A way underrated guitar player who was light years ahead of his time.
