Between knowing Anthrax and Manatoba's Wild Kingdom -- You had to be a fellow metal head in the late '80s. 🍺

 

You are correct sir, good times. I went to college with a guy (also a guitar player) who knew the guys from Anthrax.

 

Didja know that Got The Time is a cover of a Joe Jackson song?

Never heard the song before my roommate and bassist introduced the Anthrax version to me in college and told me it was originally a Joe Jackson song.  Wasn't a big Anthrax or Joe Jackson fan but thought the song was cool.

Correct. My cleverness stupidity is that we have lyrics from two Joe Jackson songs, both covers. One from @Golden Goat, one from me.

I didn't know that! I'll have to check it out.

Amazing times. I was in South Florida back then, and it was a nonstop party with many of the local bands, like Elysium and Dragonfly -- and their groupies. ;)

 

The biggest "name" -- although few outside of Florida know it -- was Saigon Kick. They were more commercial metal, though. They had one big hit, then pretty much destroyed their future by selling out and pi$$ing off the local rock stations. Haven't heard the name since.

 

Seems like a lifetime ago!

I remember the name Saigon Kick, don't remember any of their songs tho.

 

I was dialed in to the new metal bands in the early to mid 80's. Most of them went nowhere, a few hit it big. Coolest story was hearing about this band from San Fran that was supposedly really good and seeing them at a local bar a week or so before their debut album came out. Bar was mostly empty and they played the whole album. It was jaw dropping. The album? Kill Em All by Metallica.

Same here for Saigon Kick.  Know the name but not a single song. 

 

As for Metallica, pretty cool.  I thought they were a joke until I met that roommate I mentioned earlier.

Chewin' out a rhythm on my bubble gum

Rockaway Beach - The Ramones

But power and greed and corruptible seed

seem to be all that there is."

It's a huge artist, but an obscure tune. Here's two hints for the board: Mark Knopfler plays on the song. It is considered one of the best vocals for an artist not known for his singing chops.
