#80s rock music

Axl Rose - Guns N Roses (The Ritz Theatre, 1991)

I always thought U2 was too overhated by some people on Facebook. Like, I get how Bono's stage persona might seem obnoxious, but pretending they never made any good song is annoying to no ends. Joyless behavior, tbh.

U2 somehow became the band it was cool to shit on, didn’t they? Honestly, some U2 haters need to listen to the Joshua Tree in full, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Achtung Baby. So much good U2 stuff, like they’re renown for a reason!

I do know that a lot of younger people absolutely hate U2 for making Songs of Innocence unremovable from their iTunes though (can we still call that generation young? I won’t answer that question for existential reasons), and I literally cannot defend U2 from that, even though I actually think it was a good album 😭

(Also they’ve actually done so much for Irish music.)

new OC🎸!

my friend @onzze and I are combining our mutual obsession with 80s classic rock bands with our love for lesbians, so we're creating a fictional band full of them!!!

An incredible photo of Paul Simonon, bassist for The Clash, with his serious and intense expression. Paul wears a black jacket with metallic zippers, his hair is short and light.
