In 1988 I was heavy into the club scene checking out local bands at least 3 times per week. I loved all of the 80's metal/hard rock back then & one band I discovered back then whom I really thought was going to break it big time was the Dogs D'Amour.Their album from that year 'In a Dynamite Jet Saloon' is an album I still play on a regular basis. I seen a bunch of concerts that year but the 2 that stand out the most were Kiss with Ted Nugent & Joan Jett with Chuck Berry. I'll never forget the Kiss show not only for the spectacular show by both bands but me & Spanky Madoo had lower level tickets across from the stage & when we got to our seats an usher came over & said our view would be obstructed by the soundbooth so they had to move us which they did...to around the 8th row!!! For the Joan Jett show (which was another phenomenal show & at the time I was in Love with her & I was right in the Front row for her & my other hero Chuck Berry.) Chuck opened & was great but during "Roll Over Beethoven" I (along with about 10 other people) was pulled up on the stage & I got to stand right next to Chuck Berry while he jammed "Rollover Beethoven".
That year I was also heavy into the Forgotten Rebels & seen them at least 10 times that year with the Goo Goo Dolls opening for them at least 3 times.

Ahh, Kim, you are the king of great topics!  This year ruled! I was away at school and enjoying myself tremendously. David Wilcox - A friend I met in the city introduced me to this guy. I'm still a BIG fan and still doing the bearcat! Badlands - Ray Gillen and Jake E Lee...need I say more? Cheap Trick - Lap of Luxury (I left teh Trick after Tom left, then became a fan again when he returned. Bad me!) Dokken - Beast from the East (still one of my fave live albums to this day) Yngwie Malmsteen - Odyssey (also when I discovered Joe Lynn Turner...gah, how could I have not noticed this man's pipes before?) LA Guns - Awesome debut album Ratt - Reach for the Sky Megadeth - So Far...So Good...So What? Judas Priest - Ram It Down Ozzy Osbourne - No Rest for the Wicked Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King (bf introduced me to them this year...I do believe). And a shitload of other metal bands. I also discovered blues and jazz. That same friend began taking me to blues and jazz clubs. |

1988 I was graduating from 9th grade and entering High School in 10th grade. I was introduce to a lot of stuff at this time (MUSIC PEOPLE! Not drugs  ) Iwas already big into Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band (what I could find of them as their albums were all out of print in the late 80's). I was just starting to get into Molly Hatchet and the Outlaws. This was also the year I discovered Classic Rock radio and discovered the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Eric Clapton and others. I was getting bored with Country music as this was the year before Garth Brooks and Kentucky Headhunters burst onto the scene to make it exciting again. I was still into Hank Jr and Waylon Jennings as I saw them in concert together that spring. I caught the Lynyrd Skynyrd tour in the fall. I got a tour program which gave a Skynyrd history lesson. It mentioned their former drummer Rickey Medlocke and how he went on to form Blackfoot. Hmmmm. By the end of the year I had my first Blackfoot album, "Strikes". A friend of mine in school got me into Accept that fall and he would tape MTV for me (I didn't get cable until 2005!) so I got to see the likes of Poison, Dokken, AC/DC, Judas Priest and Guns'n Roses for the first time. |

Not too much...
Van Halen with Sammy Hagar that was pretty much it, for me.
-UFO- hadn't anything worthy for over 5 years in 1988.
Black Sabbath seemed to have dried up.
Ted Nugent put out another album that was another lame one... "Lick'em" eh? ...crap.
Tom Petty skipped '88
Heart had that atrocious "Bad Animals" ...dismal
Judas Priest "Ram It Down" the last vinyl I've ever bought. ...sucked pretty bad too.
Even Ac/Dc's "Blow Up Your Video" was weak...
