Did any of you lot actually GO to the Hungry Years??
With the exception of Sabbath and AC/DC I never heard any of this glam rock stuff played there. It was always much heavier if I remember correctly.
I remember getting blitzed and moshing to stuff like this.......QUOTE]
Sounds like you're a bit younger than most of us! There wasn't any moshing in 1984 was there?
Seriuosly I used to go to the years in the early to mid-eighties, but being an LA boy (little'ampton that is) I'm not really aware just how long the Year's had been going and how long it had been a rock venue.

I started going in the late seventies and went right up until the last 2 nights.
From my memory it was a staple diet of Sabbath ,Rainbow, Led Zep ,Stones , Kinks with AC/DC being shoed in with 'A whole Lotta Rosie from about 1979 onwards. And it did not change , even though metal and the music surrounding it was changeing.Even the people were still wearing denim and flairs until well into the early eighties.I remember asking for the track Motorhead by the Cockney Rejects as a good crossover track to bring the place kicking and screaming into the eighties .But there was a big fat NO .
It wasn't until Guns n Roses came along that they completly changed it. After that it was metal , punk,glam , goth and a bit of House of Pain.
Ah the memories !!!!
