When we think of 80's glam metal, the first things we all think of are poofy hairstyles and slinky spandex pants, but the third thing we think of is amazing guitarists, the likes of which haven't really been seen either before or since. We go on a very deep dive into some of our (really Todd's, because this stuff wasn't really Blaine's cup of tea) favorites of the time. We also discuss some modern guitarists, and we even wax a bit philosophical about what this somewhat beleaguered and often maligned musical genre means to those of us who still find ourselves enjoying it today.
Did we overlook your favorite guitar god or goddess from back then? Let us know by e-mailing us at tapeheads80@gmail.com, and they can also be added to our Spotify playlist or maybe even our Instagram profile.
