-Simple Minds
-Dead or Alive
-Bob Dylan
-Paul McCartney

...and much more that i cannot think of

It's got to be either Motley crue or Guns N Roses... they both are efffffing amazing. and not to mention EXTREMELY gorgeous

Def Lepard is still going strong! What a great band... they are amazing!!! they oughta be in the R & R Hall Of Fame!

For me its Motley Crue!Every song ever released was awesome Crue Rules!!!!

For me it is INXS all the way. Michael Hutchence (Hutch), had an amazing voice and I love listening to him and the music of this band. He is missed so much; it's really sad of what happened. Rock on Hutch on the other side!!!!

MTV used to play two vids from The Producers; Whats he got (that I aint got),
and She-Sheila (loved that one). Haven't seen either in years.

i remember the band the producers back when MTV first came out why doesn't VH1 play that classic video? there's alot of classic videos i haven't seen.

W.A.S.P ....................

Foreigner with Lou Gramm rocks! Need (mdr) minimum daily requirement of Lou Gramm,Steve Perry, Paul Rogers and Freddy Curci! Can't get enough of these guys!

Is there a reason that piledriver have not play in yrs.

There's a reason that you don't see the "new" Skid Row. They aren't the same without Sebastian. Salinger isn't nearly the singer that Bach is. Plain and simple, Skid Row just isn't crap without Sebastian Bach. They should just all put their egos in the back seat and get the original lineup back together and make some good music again. Neither of them is the same without the other.

I also love Japanese 80s metal like EZO, Saber Tiger with Ron Keel, Loudness definately, Tokyo Blade, Cats in Boots, Anthem.. VH1 classic should show EZO on metal mania, they were also on headbanger ball back in the day..

I too think that Skid Row's revolution per minute is awesome and yes they should show videos with Johnny Salinger as a member of Skid Row. Sebastian Bach is good but he's not Skid Row anymore..

How about playing some child's play, bonfire, shy, pretty boy floyd, pretty maids, aldo nova, bad 4 good, triunph, celtic frost, nasty idols, tnt, sleeze beez, electric boys, just to name a few.. Give us a change. Don't get me wrong I enjoy metal mania, but tire so easily of the same videos and bands.

I think vh1 classic should go to the old headbanger ball archives and play those videos on metal mania.. How many times can they actually play Ratt's round and round and Iron Maiden's the trooper and run to the hills. I'm tired of the same old videos week after week.

Ok, I have to say I love the classic metal videos but when they do classic current on Skid Row, they show classic skid row and then for current they only show Sebastian Bach's solo band. what about current skid row? they should show them too. In Fact Skid Row is on tour as we speak their 2006 album, revolutions per minute, is awesome. What's fair is fair. What about Dave Sabo (one of the most awesome guitar players ever,), and Scotti Hill and The Rockin Rachel Bolan. They deserve to have their videos shown too. come on vh1, we want the real skid row. There is life after Sebastian, he wasn't the whole band.

Yeah, VIDEOS, what a concept! Too bad all we get mostly now is crazy weird people on "reality" lust (I mean love) shows. So stupid and dumb. At least the videos were creative. I think crap rap is when the videos died. Bring them back!!!! Fuse is okay but they are starting to play crap rap some, too. Yuck. I want the 80s back!

There are so many different bands that I listened to growing up in the 80's. Everything from Duran Duran,Thompson Twins,Berlin,Bananarama,Missing Persons,Adam and the Ants,The Go-Go's,Journey,INXS,to Rock Groups like Kiss,Guns 'N Roses,Warrant,Winger,Ratt,White Lion,Europe,Def Leppard,Queensryche,Metallica,Anthrax,Megadeth,Stryper,Hurricane,Quiet Riot,Twisted Sister and much,much more. For me the 80's had a lot of diversity with different types of music to get into and with videos coming into play,it made the experience a lot more interesting and enjoyable.

KISS, Def Leppard, Ratt, Tesla, Keel, Kix, Motley Crue, Kick Axe, L.A. Guns, Savatage, Rough Cutt, Whitesnake, White Lion, Twisted Sister, Vinnie Vincent, Great White, W.A.S.P., Slaughter, Dokken and Many MORE...

I was born in the 90's but grew up on 70's and 80's music...love Journey,Styx,REO Speedwagon,a lot of the "hair bands",Def Leppard,Van Halen, the list goes on ....gotta love 80's music
