Released this day, 25 years ago.  The double-tap kill shots of Hair Metal.

God, we are old.

[CountDeMoney]

Ain't that the truth.

[Pedrito]

And I still listen to part of them almost every day.

Masterpieces.

God, we are old.

Speak for yourself. I wasn't even 6 then.

Fantastic albums. Got a shock the other day when there was an article about Jagged Little Pill's 20th anniversary.

Was listening to Metallica's Master of Puppets, Slayer's Reign in Blood, and Maiden's Somewhere in Time at the office - all released in 1986. A colleague (she's born in the 90s) asked me what I was listening to.

I said, "Oldies."

When those albums were released "Heartbreak Hotel", "Love me Tender", and "Sixteen Tons" were as old as these albums are now.

Wasn't aware they came out the same day. Somehow in my life map Blood Sugar Sex Magik came earlier,

That's OK, grumbler's rebellious years were listening to all those underground labels that started writing operas in German, because they didn't sell out to The Man.

Thanks a lot asshole.

Already feeling old as fuck today, 5 hours in and I still have one more side of the house to power wash and I can barely move already.

Good point. When we grew up we couldn't really see Elvis as rebellious, but the historical parallel to Nirvana and grunge breaking new ground is valid in hindsight.

Incidentally enough, Elvis Presley released Jailhouse Rock on this day in 1957.

That's nothing. Manuel I Komnenos died on this day too. #byzanteentears

[Monoriu]

Pass.

But now you're over 30.

Actually, I'm still 30.
