re: #154 WindUpBird

What i mean is Def Leppard influenced the 80’s hair bands, not Kiss originally. But Kiss’ reimagining in the 80’s as a bunch of neon-pink-wearing hair tarts was influenced by Lep and other bands in the early 80’s which were hitting big. Kiss saw their market shriveling up and adapted.

KISS was influenced by 70’s glam and Alice Cooper, really :D

It was a weird. Bowie, I always thought was the granddaddy of all of it. You even had the Funk stuff that was all costumes and makeup. Bootsy Collins and Parliament - Funkadelics. Some great stuff right there.
