You Might Be A Glam Fan If...

This could be fun. I wonder if I can think of 10 ways to spot a Glam fan? Lets see...

 10. You might be a Glam fan if...you spend your entire vacation budget to stand in a field in the middle of Oklahoma for four days in 110 degree heat to relive a little of your childhood.

 9. You might be a Glam fan if...you can *still* spot Adam Curry a mile away.

 8. You might be a Glam fan if...you can sing every word of "Babylon." Extra points for mimicking Taime Downe's voice!

 7. You might be a Glam fan if...you work in corporate America but secretly wear a Motley Crue T-shirt underneath your dress clothes.

 6. You might be a Glam fan if...you still buy Metal Edge in hopes that at least one "good" band will get a mention.

 5. You might be a Glam fan if...you can quickly and succinctly explain the legal issues surrounding the two touring versions of L.A. Guns.

 4. You might be a Glam fan if...you spend your entire winter dreaming about spring just so you can hear the summer concert schedule.

 3. You might be a Glam fan if...you go into withdrawal every time MetalSludge goes down (three days and counting!)

 2. You might be a Glam fan if...you select "Heaven" as your wedding song.

 1. You might be a Glam fan if...you quit a job because you can't get time off to see your favorite band.

Don't agree with my list? How do you spot a Glam fan?

Guilty on most of these. I gave up on metal sludge a long time ago, that site is just screwed now. Dunno if they just don't care, or what.

you know what, this weekend Skid Row will come to my country, Indonesia. The ticket cost about $3. hahahaha !!! I'm very happy right now

(sorry my language is worse.. I'm not master in english)

Hello everyone, I wanna ask bout LA Guns story, what the different between Philip Lewis and Tracii guns version ?? Tracii was the original right ??

9 March, Indonesia
SKID ROW I'M COMING !!!!

(sorry bout my language... worse...)

Guilty as charged on Most - i admit to singin babylon very badly on a regular occurance.

The last time I bought a copy of Metal Edge was probably back when it was still dominated by glam bands who were still in their prime.Then again I don't think I have bought any print metal/hard rock magazine this decade.

Funny!

Guilty, too!

10- Section B row 4. Actually had row 2, but asked for an aisle seat instead and was moved 2 rows back.

9- And you also know who CC Banana is.

8- Back when Taime wasn't an asshole!

7 - Every day I wear a concert tee underneath my professional clothes- Van Halen, Britny Fox, Cinderella, AC/DC, countless others...It's better than wearnig a "wife beater".

6 (but I cheat and read it each time I go to the grocery store and put it back on the shelf...I HATE it when an issue has the plastic wrap on it!),

5- explained it to so many people at Rocklahoma...my wife looks at me awkwardly as if to say, "How in the hell do you know this?"

4- then I email my wife about "our" summer concert schedule. She then shows my emails to her staff and rhetorically says, "Can you believe this?"

almost 3 (used to be way into MS, but it jumped the shark after Stevie revealed who is was and his webmasters left him- there are no longer 20 questions and he rarely writes about rock stars acting like primadonnas)

2- Considered "Heaven" "Always" "Sweet Child O Mine" "Bed of Roses" and a few others, but went for a more "traditional" song

1- I wish, but "both got jobs 'cause there's bills to pay"

...you might be a glam fan if...you secretly listen to the Boneyard online all day, every day at work with your iPod earbuds plugged into your computer.

So true so true, especially #3 & #4 - YEAH YOU RIGHT as we say down in N'awlins. It's killing me, the anticipation of awaiting the damn summer touring routes! I feel lost w/out my metal sludge too. Love the list!

here's another one: You might be a Glam fan if....you search online for syndicated weekly Metal radio shows and make them a part of your weekly/daily routine (i.e. Eddie Trunk, Back In the Day on KNAC.com, Hairball John Radio Show, House of Hair, etc...)

4. You might be a Glam fan if...you spend your entire winter dreaming about spring just so you can hear the summer concert schedule.

3. You might be a Glam fan if...you go into withdrawal every time MetalSludge goes down (three days and counting!)

I liked #8. That song has some good memories for me :)

[Ria]

I laughed at #5 because I do that nearly every day. I tried to explain it to my mum over dinner and she just handed me another glass of wine.

WTF? Nobody wrote the obvious one:

You might be a Glam Fan if you visit this site on a daily basis!
