I had my crue shirt on yesterday but wearing it again today would make me even more 80's metal-like. I miss my mullet.

**Soldier of Misfortune** · 07-01-2004, 01:29 PM

Senior year vice versa dance theme was "totaly 80's" I had my hair grown out for 6 months so it was about 6in long n shaggy. I got it cut into a mullet and it was by far the sweetest hair do at the dance.

I was lucky....my uncle ran the Harley shop in Rapid City SD, one of the biggest and most famous (because of Sturgis). So, everyone that came to town would stop in, and he'd always het me tickets and back stage passes. metallica, Motley Crue, Poison (with winger and Britney Fox

), The Cure, G n' R, Def Leppard, so many more.

P.s. Screw you and your loose ass, MJ. You've got to get ahold of some ben wah balls and get that turd cutter of yours back in shape.

I saw the Cure three times in Toronto. They just didn't seem to go with the metal bands we were all discussing.

I saw the Cult a couple of times too. Once their opening band was an unknown group going by the name of Guns N Roses.

Wow, speaking of 80's bands...

David Lee Roth's New Gig: EMT

Fri Jun 25, 5:00 PM ET
By Sarah Hall

Apparently, the bad boy of rock 'n' roll is looking to clean up his act.

Former Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth (news) has announced his intentions to add the unlikely title of emergency medical technician to his hard-rockin' rsum, according to the New York Daily News.

Roth, 48, has reportedly relocated from his estate in Pasadena, California, and taken up residence in an apartment on New York's Lower East Side, where he reports for EMT training several days a week.

The rocker says he hopes to earn his certification by November, at which point he plans to try to volunteer one weekend a month. He's training under New York safety consultant Linda Reissman, who, he joked, "has a rsum as long as your femur."

"I want to be working in the outer boroughs," Roth told the Daily News. "This city promises great color and insight in each and every neighborhood. On the Upper East Side, it's gonna be heart attacks and stomachaches. But in other areas, it's all trauma."

The "Runnin' with the Devil" singer claims that his medical aspirations are not as far-fetched as they may seem.

"I used to be a surgical orderly in South Central, L.A.," Roth said. "I started that when I got out of junior college in the early '70s, and that led to a variety of things in the outdoor medical fire force and training with the Green Berets."

It also seems that medicine runs in the Roth family. "My father was a surgeon and uncles and my cousin were also in the medical community, so I come by it natural," the singer explained.

Bearing that reassuring fact in mind, we're sure Diamond Dave will make a great EMT.

The rocker's career reinvention may be a reaction to his former band's current tour--on which Roth's replacement, Sammy (news - web sites) Hagar (news), is pulling lead singer duty with original members Eddie and Alex Van Halen (news) and Mike Anthony.

Two years ago, Roth and Hagar shared headlining duties on the Song for Song: The Heavyweight Champs of Rock and Roll tour, unofficially known as the "Sans Halen" tour. However, the dueling frontmen apparently didn't hit it off--Hagar said he would never take the stage with Roth again after witnessing some of his off-color antics.

Roth fans expressed mixed reactions to the rocker's reinvention tactics on the Roth Army Forum message boards.

"Always learning, always giving, always funny and always inspiring!!!!" wrote a poster by the name of Northern Girl.

But poster meanstreet disagreed. "Not inspiring news at all. It's like being a lawyer for 30 years and then deciding to work at a McDonald's to 'help out.' Do you honestly think Dave would be doing this if his solo career was stellar or he was back in VH? No way, it's the end of the road..."

Despite his seemingly noble aspirations, it's possible that Roth has other motivations for becoming an EMT beyond simply helping mankind.

"My dream would be to save a Scandinavian hikerette," the rocker admitted to the Daily News.
