My mom is more into the psychadelic stuff (Chaz Jenkel?) or stuff from today. My mom is ok with the music i love but if i were to ask her something about say, Ratt...she wouldn't really know much. ALTHOUGH, she said the first tape she bought was Van Halen. My mom and dad grew up in the 80's so they should know WAY more than i do, being 14. I actually know WAY more than them because i love to learn new things about the music. The MOST supportive people i have for this music are my grandpa and grandma. My grandpa is the same age as Mick Mars.

She digs all the music I play, which ranges from like, Anglo-Saxon Lyre rythms and Baroque Harpsichord stuff, to 'bass-from-outer-space' Psytrance, hahaha. Glam being my main focus though, as music goes, she likes it. We argue over Mott the Hoople lyrics all the time and then it ends up we're both wrong! When I started dressing glam, she was really into it. Then as I got more glam and more glam, I began to attract looks, and she wasn't happy about that. But she got used to it and learned to ignore it like I did. Then I started dressing tigher and more effeminately, but she dug that. She was a punk in 80s, so she dressed pretty similar to me, so she helped out a lot to me! Thennnn I started wearing makeup. She never stops me from doing anything, 'cos she knows she cant - I'm a fucking rebel child and as it pains and ashames me to admit it, I have a bit of a violent streak, even with her - so I was able to. But she was very screwed up about it - SHE doesn't even wear makeup! But it helped her 'cos she sells Avon! Now she accepts it and is totally cool about it though, she lets me wear full makeup and everything. She wont let me wear it infront of the grandparents though, but I know why. They already bully her for raising me the way she did. We rent from 'em, cheaply too, 'cos we cant afford no other place, so she cant really say 'He's my kid and I'll do what I like' and fuck off, so I just pretend I'm a normal kid as best I can, haha. She'll let me know, honestly, if something gonna be 'too much', as well, which is really helpful. Gonna talk to her about getting my ears pierced soon, haha. So yeah. You know. No problems with it at all. She can really reccomend New Wave bands and all to me, as well - she got me into Gary Numan and Adam and the Ants, and all that. <img src='/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> Stixx on "What did your parents think of 80s Rock?" http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/what-did-your-parents-think-of-glam-rock/page/3#post-30558 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 21:03:52 +0000 Stixx 30558@http://glamrock.com/forum/ My Dad brought me up on Kiss. He has every album on CD, had them all on Vinyl back then. He's seen them live various times, happily bought me and my older brother tickets to go see them this year for the first time (twice!). He's a huuge fan. He saw Faster Pussycat and Enuff Z Nuff the other week. He used to have long hair. He listened to Motley Crue, Quiet Riot and all the rest. He met Dee Snider on the High Street in town when he was lost ... Not really glam, but my Uncle was friends with the original Venom. I have a photo of him and my Uncle wearing Kiss makeup <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif' alt=':mrgreen:' class='wp-smiley' /> ... Even my Granny loves Kiss and has seen them live <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> My Mam brought me up on the Scorpions. She has all of their albums, had them all on Vinyl. I have them now <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> She was some sort of Punk Glam rocker. She met Bon Jovi backstage at the bar once ... She too has been to hundreds of concerts. She showed me how to back comb my hair and helps with my clothing sometimes ^-^ I have a very musical family. Even if the old sods are grown up and not as glam as they used to be haha. I found out a lot about Glam and Punk through my parents. I guess I do owe them a lot.

She was the religious one in the family and tried hard for me keep me away from what she termed "Junk Music", she said it was like junk food, unfulfilling, bad for you, it may look good but it rots teeth. She said it was junk food for the ears and brain, but my dad snuck behind my mom's back and luckily played this stuff. My mom used to listen to Janet Jackson, Madonna, or whatever pop garbage that was on the radio. That to me was "junk music" and I cringed every time my mom played that stuff in the car. Me and my dad would be just be cringing at how horrible it was and then when we were alone we'd make fun of mom's lame music and talk about how any of our bands could slaughter the wimps mom listened too.

From those I really took a liking to U2 and since I was like 9 my favorite band was U2. Well, once I got out of the bitchass private school I went to my whole life, and into public school, my whole world opened up to different music. But most of the new stuff didn't really do it for me. It wasn't untill one day when I was watching VH1 Classic at about 6 AM and Wild Side by Motley Crue came on that I found the right music for me. I was 13 then and for the rest of my life, now my dad hates all that stuff I listen to, and, get this, one time I tried to get my dad to listen to Gn'R and he says, I hate this guys voice, and the music behind it isn't good enough to make up for it. Now I can understand someone not liking Axl's voice, but c'mon! Slash's guitar playing dosn't make up for axl's voice? I just sat there and laughed at him. I live with my mom though, and she dosn't give me any trouble, but when my sister or brother yell at me to turn down the music, I just turn it up until I can't hear them anymore.

My dad was the one who opened me up to music, he used to play me Motely Crue, Def Leppard, Guns and Roses, Rush, White Lion, Sweet, Slade and all that good stuff. I remember one of the first songs that got me into the music, "Girls, Girls, Girls" by the Crue. Being a horny teenager at the time that tune just penetrated my head and short circuited my brain, I thought it was the most genius song at the time! I started consuming every vinyl my dad had and I just became like a religious fanatic but for metal! I am glad I discovered this stuff and was raised with it, I often wonder about that when I hear some crap another person is listening too and thinking their parents very negelectful of their child's musical upbringing. Parents like that should be in jail, of course from what I am reading from this board the jails would be full of religious zealots and bigots. LOL. No wonder most kids listen to cRap nowadays, TV raises them and says cRap is the "tang".
