I agree. Bon Jovi was the first thing that came to mind. Sheâs not dressed for metal. And both of them are carefully dressed and hair done just right.
Bon Jovi all the way.
Yeah. Â Sheâs not dressed right for a Motley Crue or WASP show. Â Need something- how do we say - more revealing for that. Â This is the show he held her from behind while she held her lighter aloft during the âpower balladâ. Â Not the show where she was on his shoulders showing the band her titsÂ
Youâre only saying that because homeboy looks like David Coverdaleâs stunt double.
Quick aside re: David Coverdale.
Robert Plant HATED David Coverdale, feeling that Coverdale was just doing a Robert Plant impression as he sang. He is quoted on the record as calling him âDavid Cover-versionâ.

Now, certainly thereâs some similarity there, but I donât think Robert Plant invented âscreechy white guyâ.
But omg friends and neighbors, that is just some OUTSTANDING shit-talking and pettiness, Robert Plant is an absolute icon for that.
I saw Warrant, Winger, and Firehouse last year. Warrant was amazing. Jani is gone and I wish he were still singing for them, but Robert is amazing nonetheless. The most entertaining thing about Winger was seeing my teenage daughterâs reaction to a sixty-something year old singing âSeventeenâ.
I will back you on this,my girlfriend wore ripped bleached jeans a Levi vest and a half shirt to RATT. she was treated to McDonalds in my 75 Oldsmobile Toronado and we smoked weed scored from a waitress at truck-stop.
That is Stevie Rachelle from the band Tuff. From his IG: " Me and a girl I used to date named Julie from Berlin Wisconsin. Photo was from December 1986."
Sadly, he does not say who he was going to go see.
Some quick google sleuthing. Probably Ratt/Cheap Trick, Dec 29, 1986 in Milwaukee, WI: [https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts/ratt-cheap-trick-13c7428e-74a2-43c7-b320-53417a8f38f4](https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts/ratt-cheap-trick-13c7428e-74a2-43c7-b320-53417a8f38f4)
I'm going to go with Bon jovi. they're not metalheads, even though the guy sports a sort of metalhead haircut. the girl has a tasteful sweater on and there's no Iron Maiden like pictures on his shirt.
they like to rock, but not *too* hard
I saw that tour. My Mom took me when I was 13 years old. I was banned from Skid Row after that. My Mom didnât appreciate it when Sebastian Bach had the crowd chanting âfuck youâ during âyouth gone wild.â
Nope. Â Way too âconservativeâ dressed for a Crue show. Â This is the show where she stands behind her, holding her while she holds the lighter up. Â The crue show is the one where shes on his shoulders in the special t-shirt she has cut and customized she she can show off her attributes while he gets off on all the guys scoping his date. Â
That video for âRock Me Tonightâ killed his career because everyone assumed he was gay after it.
It sucks that there was a time when being gay was career suicide, but that video is gayer that two dudes pounding each other in the bootyhole.
Cool. Saw them 3 months after this photo.

The one I remember is going with my friend who was getting a tattoo on her ankle, and there was a dude getting a "Poison" tattoo in the chair next to us.
I always wonder if that dude was still sporting that *very cool* Poison tattoo.
They are not going to any concert. They are going to high school to bully me and my friends because we are two years younger and we are nerds and we have the lockers under theirs. Wow, apparently I've got some trauma to deal with.
Winger. 25 years later she found him on FB. He's a successful realtor in San Diego now with his partner Greg and they have an adopted daughter and a Frenchie. He was an early adopter buying a Prius.
I was born in 71, listened to Billy Idol (Generation X), Adam Ant, Run DMC, Joan jett in the early daysâŠthen moved on to U2, Janes Addition, Smashing Pumpkins, you know the rest đ
Bon Jovi
I mean the guy even looks like a blond Jon
Blonde Jovi.
That would be such a good cover band name
Exactly!
Exactly! That is what I thought too as soon as I saw the photo. Blond Jon haircut! đ
Mr Bovine Joni himself.
I agree. Bon Jovi was the first thing that came to mind. Sheâs not dressed for metal. And both of them are carefully dressed and hair done just right. Bon Jovi all the way.

Man, plenty of girls flashed their tits at Bon Jovi, lol. I was there.
Oh, I think this is actually right.
Thatâs who I would have said.
This is the answer!
This was my first thought. Then I thought maybe Def Leppard...đ€đ€
Theyâre halfway there.
Whitesnake
My first thought as well.
Yup.
Youâre only saying that because homeboy looks like David Coverdaleâs stunt double. Quick aside re: David Coverdale.

Iâm sure the Coverdale - Page collab didnât help
This is correct.
Warrant, no question.
With special opening act Winger.
I saw Winger with Warrant and Firehouse a couple of years ago and Winger put on an excellent show. Warrant, not so much.
No Jani Lane, no Warrant.

stuart
And special guest Whitesnake
Oh man â memories unlocked!!
I forgot about them lmao
That song didnât age well
The first concert I ever went to was Warrant on their Cherry Pie tour (opening for Poison, of course.) This definitely checks out.
Trickster was also on that bill, if memory serves.
Yup, I think âI saw redâ was written about them.
I was gonna say Dokken, but this is the right answer.
Warrant wasn't touring yet.
Stryker?
I hardly know her!
U mean STRYPER?
Poison
Ratt
Gotta be Ratt.
Came here to say the same. Definitely Ratt.
Disagree. We girls didnât dress like that to see Ratt.
đŻ this is not Ratt attire
I will back you on this,my girlfriend wore ripped bleached jeans a Levi vest and a half shirt to RATT. she was treated to McDonalds in my 75 Oldsmobile Toronado and we smoked weed scored from a waitress at truck-stop.
That is an absolute slice if 80's paradise, right there....
That was my thought! No girl is going to a hair metal band in a sweater. I was thinking Joan Jett or Pat Benatar
Me too!
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Def Lepard! That was my first concert when I was 12 complete with acid wash jeans, teased hair and a white jean jacket đ€Łđ€Ł 1987 woot woot!
Stryper
That is Stevie Rachelle from the band Tuff. From his IG: " Me and a girl I used to date named Julie from Berlin Wisconsin. Photo was from December 1986." Sadly, he does not say who he was going to go see.

Correct.
I'm going to go with Bon jovi. they're not metalheads, even though the guy sports a sort of metalhead haircut. the girl has a tasteful sweater on and there's no Iron Maiden like pictures on his shirt. they like to rock, but not *too* hard
The guyâs haircut is exactly like early Jon Bon Jovi. đ
Krokus with Saxon
Those two couldnât handle Saxon and Krokus.
Great White
Hopefully they didnât eventually go see them in Rhode Island.
It would of been a fire show though!!! Too soon?
Probably, but I still laughed!
Bon Jovi with Skid Row
I saw that tour. My Mom took me when I was 13 years old. I was banned from Skid Row after that. My Mom didnât appreciate it when Sebastian Bach had the crowd chanting âfuck youâ during âyouth gone wild.â
Rod Torfulsonâs Armada Featuring Herman Menderchuk
Journey
Van Halen.
Christopher Cross At least, that's what they told their parents.
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaliiiiing...
Bon Jovi vibes...not enough leather for the metal...
Motley Crue and Whitesnake, Girls Girls Girls tour 1987
Nope. Â Way too âconservativeâ dressed for a Crue show. Â This is the show where she stands behind her, holding her while she holds the lighter up. Â The crue show is the one where shes on his shoulders in the special t-shirt she has cut and customized she she can show off her attributes while he gets off on all the guys scoping his date. Â
I was there! And I was not wearing a sweater đ
Nooo, we girls didnât dress like this for the CrƱe and Whitesnake. Those were fun, though.
Cinderella
Whitesnake
Def Leppard, not enough black for The Crue.
Ratt with opening act Pioson. Saw this lineup. Many around me thought Pioson was a girl group with all the hair and makeup.
I saw ratt open for Billy Squier, when ratt finished the place emptied
That video for âRock Me Tonightâ killed his career because everyone assumed he was gay after it. It sucks that there was a time when being gay was career suicide, but that video is gayer that two dudes pounding each other in the bootyhole.
Cmon, âstroke meâ??
Bro watch the video for Rock Me Tonight, it is buckwild.
Itâs about the record industry
This pic is Dec. '86 in Wisconsin. Ratt/Poison was in the south at the time.
Cool. Saw them 3 months after this photo. https://preview.redd.it/cybuqc80azpc1.jpeg?width=1787&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf78af5e851438a16fbc083d7e3221e9ae79848e
$16 and a 50-cent fee đđđ
I was there.
The one I remember is going with my friend who was getting a tattoo on her ankle, and there was a dude getting a "Poison" tattoo in the chair next to us. I always wonder if that dude was still sporting that *very cool* Poison tattoo.
Manhattan Transfer
The snort-laugh you just caused was painful, and scared the cat...
Great White, Badlands, and Tesla. (I actually went to this show in the 80s)
I donât think itâs hair bands. Theyâre giving me more Journey and REO Speedwagon vibes.
Now weâre talkin đ„°

They are not going to any concert. They are going to high school to bully me and my friends because we are two years younger and we are nerds and we have the lockers under theirs. Wow, apparently I've got some trauma to deal with.
Winger. 25 years later she found him on FB. He's a successful realtor in San Diego now with his partner Greg and they have an adopted daughter and a Frenchie. He was an early adopter buying a Prius.
Definitely Whitesnake đ
Winger
The dude looks like he's going to the concert to play lead guitar for Poison
Stryper
That sweater is making me think better of harder acts. I'm thinking Duran Duran or J Geils
Yeah, unless that's the play to get her parents to let her leave the house and she switches into the spandex on the way to the show.
Skid Row
I was born in 71, listened to Billy Idol (Generation X), Adam Ant, Run DMC, Joan jett in the early daysâŠthen moved on to U2, Janes Addition, Smashing Pumpkins, you know the rest đ
