So much hairspray!

while the world is still an uncertain place, I'm glad I am young enough that some things are before my memory and experience.
The Miners strike, Margret Thatcher, National Service, The phase where brown guitars were cool, the Cold War and the threat of mutually assured destruction, and now I can add bands that dressed like that to the list.

There may or may not be a picture of me from 2005-2006 playing 80s "butt rock night" wearing a sleeveless denim shirt with a Stryper logo painted on the back.

I’m sorry, but rock night? We used to Cruz and blast Stryper. Killer guitar player, don’t care for the Christian part of it, but those guys rocked back in the 80s.

It was hair metal night but the name “butt rock” some how got associated with it and the name stuck.

I only ever heard “Butt Rock” in reference to early melodic hard rock between the late 90s early 00s that had pop undertones

Butt rock for hair metal was also a thing in Salt Lake City.

Ahh, I figured the uniform was a denim west and no pants

Going slightly back on topic - I tant it great @Robert has featured a few more bass players favourite pedals recently? Anyone got a 3leaf octavbre to loan him? The older one as the new one sounds a bit meh on a soundclip I heard (plus cult unavailable out of production stuff is the way)

That's the sort of attitude towards hair-metal that really chaps my ass...

ah back on topic! Yes.

+1 to LukeFRC's post above.

An Octavbre would be a great one to spelunk for both bass players and guitarists on the forum. Maybe even good for the progressive glockenspiel players.

Pan pipes through an octaver

Butt rock for hair metal was also a thing in Salt Lake City.

In Vancouver, it was "cock rock" for obvious reasons. The Canadian scene: Kick Axe (hey Whalley!), Triumph, Helix, Anvil, April Wine, maybe throw some Rush, Loverboy, Chilliwack, and Honeymoon Suite in there.

Re: Stryper: To Hell With the Devil was not a bad one, very LA, but still properly metal for a pouty and be-rouged Christian foursome. And they did really work their theme pretty well (stripes).

Just to stay on topic, howzabout that Great Eastern XO Variable Crossover pedal, now? I want to try the Royal Blood thing.

This. It's the term for that awful post-grunge music like Creed and Nickelback

This is a butt rock thread now sorry.

"Butt Rock" is the kind of stuff they play on those "alternative" radio stations where they play "nothing but rock."

Yep, just measured a couple of obscured caps this past week.

I'll be working up a layout in the next few days.

That big knob is just begging to be smashed. Seems like a weird option.
