The nostalgia this song brings up is borderline painful. I can almost smell the trees on the block I grew up on, I can still feel the optimism that was in the air during the 80s. I miss it so much.
My childhoood in the 80's was so magical, and my teenage years in the 90's were so much fun, after you know when in 2001 it's been, well, let's say different... but i'm definitely grateful for those decades :)
@@Ciclopea2 I'd streach it.and say that after the stock market and housing crash in 07-09 things were great! 911 sucked ass too but the 00s were still pretty good

@@Jerseymatt1865 you think we couldn’t watch this before the internet? It was played on MTV, the radio, records. Things were actually creative pre internet. It’s killed music. Yeah there is a few good bands but they never last anymore. All the bands that are around were around pre Napster. The only thing financially viable is solo artists
I'm not afraid of dying, just getting old. Why can't we be born old and go backwards. I miss my youth. I'm 53 and disabled. What I would give to be 18 again!
I'm with you, Lisa. I miss my youth as well. The 80's were spectacular when I was a teenager. The 90's were fantastic seeing my daughter grow up and spending so much time with her. Now that she's married, I can honestly say that there's a deep void in my heart. It's great to relive those days in my mind through this type of music. Cheers darling.
Maybe your neighbor is the dude from boogie nights that dirk digger, Todd Parker and Reed Rothschild went too rob his coke. He's gotta be listening too awesome 80s mixtape #5 on cassette of course 😅
The 80’s were THE best. MTV, Saturday morning cartoons,actually going OUTSIDE and socializing with your friends,sleepovers,Friday night family night at Pizza Hut, Arcades, etc. I’m so glad I was able to enjoy that decade.
I'm 55 and yeah the 80s were the best. born late 60s grew up in 70s come of age in 80s. All the best music and great times. We've seen alot. If I could only go back to those days. Take care
Class of ‘89 here. We didn’t know how good we had it at the time. We had it all, especially freedom, in a way that can not be understood by kids today.

The closest we can get back to the 80’s is the MUSIC. Kids today will never understand this great era, and man it was f’ng GREAT. Had this on cassette blaring it on a huge Panasonic Boombox in the culdesac playing kickball with all of my friends in the summer, weekend lake & beach trips, even trips to the arcade. Miss those simpler, fun times and memories…..it sucks growing up, but I’m happy in life at 53.

Yes, because you were a kid. But yeah I get what you are saying and I was born in 1980 and I don’t remember anything bad happening from birth to 10 years old. The 1990s were good also as those were my teenage years and the 2000s were awesome too because I was in my 20s And then the 20010s when I was in my 30s and all I did was work my ass off and now I’m chilling in the 2020s because I worked 12 hour shifts six days a week in my 30s and have saved up for Clay little sum of money and invested it and yeah, now I am chilling
This song brings back so many MEMORIES ❤️ California 🌴. MEMORIES and the 80’s were the best we graduated in 1980 and every year after that was a blast 🎉
when drug lords and mafias and corruption and extacy and cocain ruled the streets and ruined lives ? ( *NO* ) I'VE NEVER BEEN INTO A DARN PARTY PUB SUUUUUUUURE the music we're awesome. And will 4ever be awesome. ALL THOUGH on the other hand. THERE WE'RE drugs related that *R U I N E D L I V E S* My point is. from 60s to 80s and 90s sucked ass more than ever will be. *SURE* there is places in the world that still goes by those books and ruins lives *..........* BUT ! It's not as much because off what people did to take down those drug lords. You don't want to end upp as a nobody dead extacy overdose addict in an alley do you Dave Mckee ? Or maybe a heroin coke addict ? Point here is. FROM 60s to END OF 90s SUCKED!!! only that was great was the music. Now we got cure for cancer. and so much more. and god knows what will bring in the future. maybe cure for epilepsy. oh wait, we have. but it costs 20 grand euro's to get it out ( *IF* possible ). who. WHO !! in the world has the money for that kind'a surgery just to remove something that can make you a vegetable someday
The 80s were the greatest. Hell I'm 55 now. Friday nights after football games I'd come home shower and watch Miami Vice I had recorded on vcr. Those were the days.
@@ragapibarino well I will say that that error producef the top two greatest rock and roll band of all time... The Beatles and led Zeppelin. However music as a whole and still going to say the 80s has got you guys 🙂🇺🇸
Class of 85 here. This song brings such a range of emotions to me. Happiness because times were much more simple and life was good. Then a sense of sadness and broken heart because I had to make a hard decision and let my forever girl go. I had been pouring my life into her and I was still her fallback second choice. In the end, I won and found my forever girl now of 34 years. The good lord knows what is best for us. The 80s were the best time in life to be a teenager. Hands down.
@@barryhessel6078to simplify it, at the time I was kind of her best friend and her fall back boyfriend when something fell through with another relationship. I couldn't keep pouring myself into her. I ended finding my current wife and she tried talking me out of marrying my current wife. She knows now what she missed out on. We still keep in close contact as friends but that in itself is very dangerous. Sad but happy situation. I believe God knows best for us 😊
My life right now may be pitiful, but I was blessed to have grown up in the 80's. This song brings me joy and sadness because time cannot be rewound and these were indeed great times.
My friend I graduated in '85 ...these were epic songs and times, but just think Van Halen was massive, The Cars were so smooth, Run DMC was breaking barriers, and we had just been blessed with The Sugar Hill Gang, Midnight Star, and Michael was tearing it up!!!!.... My life is nearing it's end, and though some would bitch and complain, I lived through the best of times in recent history...find peace, God has it for all of us...❤
Great post Belle, yes it was a Awesome Decade to have lived through. Be sure to get a Brown Scapular for yourself. The Blessed Virgin wants everyone to be in Heaven. Give yourself this undeniable sacred gift from Jesus's mother. No one who does in this clothe will suffer damnation. That's Awesome. Not saying you are a bad person, just want you to have this gift from Heaven. It can only help, not hurt. Look it up and read about it, not long. But the gift is eternal.👍.
@@belleerion6549Hey fellow GenXer I graduated in 86 and my life is at the cusp of rebirth as I prep for a my 2nd and true purpose in life. I hope you are well and live another 50yrs.
It put everything before it in a bag and jumped into a car headed for the future. What other decade starts with 'Another One Bites the Dust' and ends with Prince's 'Batman' album?
What? Are you serious 😅@Dwightfairfield. 80's so much better! You say that because you dont knew them... 90's = dance, techno, internet, social network, etc, in short the beginning of the end and all shit

In the 80's I would lie in bed, listening to my Sony Walkman thinking how great the future was going to be, now, it IS the future, and all I want is to go back to 1982!
It's sad (almost) not to see a GTA Vice Vity nostalgia comment.. ANYWAY, this song just made cry of nostalgia because it reminds me the old good days when I was just coming back home from school, turn on the PlayStation, starting GTA Vice City and tune up to Radio Emotion 98.3.. good old days!
I am 48. This song was at the top of the charts when I was going into middle school. I remember cars driving down the street, windows down blaring this song along with others popular during that time (there was alot of ICONIC songs from era). The 80's were a beautiful time. I bought this tape with my own money. I had a walkman, and I would ride my bike and sing this song riding to meet up with my friends at the arcade. Then we would meet up in "Dead Mans Woods" to smoke, cigarettes and weed. We'd pass the walkman around or put 2 heads in the headset (always good with the girl you liked) and jam while getting stoned. My first vehicle I bought with cash, a 71' Chevy truck short bed. Power steering would stick some times but it would haul ass. First song I played in my truck through many events and it was played at my wedding in 1998. I miss music like this. Im not one of those old folks that bags on todays music. This song along with others from that era are timeless.
@J LA my cousin was 89’. He had a bad ass record collection and lived it. Man he hated tapes. He kinda jumped into CD’s later. Damn that was still a while back
It was early 1985, I was 19. This absolutely gorgeous girl walks in the Airman's Club at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. I was immediately struck by her and when this song came on, she walks over to my table, grabbed my had, and led me to the dance floor. We danced to this song every time the DJ played it. So over the few Months, the more we danced, the closer and closer our love grew.
Class of '87 here... all this great music we grew up with throughout high school never fades. I've lost a few classmates, family, and friends over the years... but the music and memories keeps them all alive within my mind. 👍👍👍
1986 here. Music was great . Incredible times they were special. I've lost lots of my friends too. Lost em way too early. Here I am somehow and they live along with me in the music and memories. Take care
Thank God I was born in the 60s, grew up during the 70s, got married during the 80s, Laughed, Loved, and Lived LARGE during them all ..... 3 decades of music that never will be repeated
I'd be honored if some fans of 80s power ballads would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of SISTER CHRISTIAN by Night Ranger, AGAINST ALL ODDS by Phil Collins, and PURPLE RAIN by Prince on my YT channel in tribute to the legends. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and keep on rocking.
Nothing better than the 80’s, I tell ya. Rampant homophobia, and racism, the AIDS epidemic, the Cold War, the space shuttle Challenger disaster, the Wall Street crash, the Iran-Iraq war, police corruption, and the war on drugs. Damn I miss the 80s..
Me too. I'd say the best years of my life, but life has thrown some pretty cool things at me lately, so it seems more about who you are than what era it is...still, 80s music brings me back to a happy (and fun :)) time
KangaRooney and yet nobody gave a damn! Life was simple! Still the best times of the lives of most people who lived through it! If you concentrated on all that garbage then you missed a great decade!
I just turned 60. I lived my 20s through the 80s. Your words speak mine exactly! From 71 through 91 my life was defined by FUN!!! How lucky I was living those amazing times! Such amazing music! We were all kinda libertarian liberal/conservative mixed just having good times! What happened??? Suddenly there's lefties forcing everything all catawampus today... & suddenly I'm a 60year old white supremacist toxic male nazi... Huhhhhhhhh??? WHATTTTTTTT??? Oh well - whatever - I'm still having fun listening to music like this so I'll enjoy smiling while the all the victim youngsters throw temper tantrums at each other today. Yep - you & I were lucky beyond our ever knowing it having lived our 20s in the 80s!!! Peace! -J.
Boogie Nights...that's all I gotta say....that film has forever changed this song for me,for those that's seen the film no explanation is necessary...and for those that has never seen it,what are you waiting for?
I graduated from a catholic all girls high school in 1984 me and my friends used to sing this in the halls between classes. I'll never forget this song.
One of my friends died in a car crash,and when they found him,this song was playing in his wrecked car somehow. Whenever I play it,I just remember my best friend
This was filmed at my alma mater, San Rafael High School. The blonde smokeshow in the final scenes is/was named Kyra Ingemansson. I acted with her that same year in a school production of Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit." So there.
They played at a club I bartered at in the 90s. They were SO good. They also hung out after and didnt even pick up groupies. They were just cool "dont tell me U love me..."
I’m so sick and tired of today’s bullshit and music. There was nothing better then growing up in the 70’s & 80’s. Life was so great hanging out with family and friends.long live rock and roll 🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️❤️
I have to live in and be part of this stupid bullshit generation. I would give just about anything to be born in the mid 60's, so I could enjoy the amazing 70's and 80's
@@gunsnrosesdefinition7672 Yeah man, noticed how most 90s - Today's band are more common on the algorithm and media but 80s bands and music in general are pretty left out especially the smaller ones.
I was in high-school in the 80's. What I loved most about it ...Everyday was like Halloween, The fashion and the hair was over the top!!! We had New-wavers, Heavy-metalers, Stoners, Punkers, Princers, MJers,, Gothers, Madonnas, Boy Georgers, Breakdancers..etc... and I loved the music of all those groups!Thank God I was able to experience the 80's! These were only a few things that made the 80's fun and unique!
I grew up listening to this song in grade 12 and the song "Sister Christian" was really like the next stage of life for me as I grew up in a small southern Saskatchewan rural farming town of 2500. Went off to Kelsey in Saskatoon and did two years of automotive mechanics and then to Calgary where I worked as a machinist and parts person at Canadian Tire. After that, I went to university and got my B.Ed degree and then my Master degree in Education, followed by a my permanent certification as a teacher. This song always brings back so many high school memories since back in 1986 I was just a stupid teenager growing up in the middle of no-where and now today I am an Elementary / High School teacher with a Masters in ESL I came a long long ways since high school so Sister Christian by Night Ranger has really special meaning to myself.... I do really miss my high school classmates b/c everyone that we attended kindergarten with moved through the public school system as single cohesive group for 13 years. That means all +50 of us stayed together from kindergarten all through school till the end of grade 12 where after high school in 1986, everyone went their separate ways.
Ditto Most of the songs in my son's Spotify account are from before he was born. He'll watch old RUclips videos of concerts and tell me how lucky I was to grow up with all that great music!
I never liked school dances much and stopped going to them, and to high school in general. Before college, I didn't do much with the girls that I met in school. I didn't like the whole fishbowl effect, where everybody is watching and talking about everything you do. I sought out my female companionship beyond the Platonic in places outside of school. But I think it would be much more difficult to do that now. Although, if I knew then what I know now, I could have had more fun during my time in high school, fishbowl or not.
@yo I was about 17 in 1980. I had fun too, but I was also had to deal during that decade dealing with my drug addition, a failing marriage, housing instability and falling grades in college. Once I got into recovery and got my pwn apartment, things got better, but I still lived in a really, really scary and violent slum for a couple of years until I moved tho the less scary slum where I still live.
We do know. I'm intensely envious of your generation. What a time the 70's-90's must have been to really experience. You guys had one of the best periods in human history to be alive and enjoy. Growing up in the early 2000's to present day, what a bleak future we have. Cherish your great memories.
This song came out the summer I graduated from HS. I went to a private school, so the video really hit close to home. How I miss those days. The 80's were a wonderful time.
That scene in Boogie Nights *almost* ruined this song for me. Thankfully, I forced myself to associate it with earlier memories, like slow dancing to SC at middle school dances.
Anyone know what the actual meaning of this song is about? I mean... It can be taken in 2 ways. His little Sister named Christian..or is it also about nuns? SISTER meaning a nun? Because, in the video there are Nuns shown
My friends this was the rock anthem of a generation. I feel bad for kids today. We smoked at school, drank and hung out parks with no police hassle, and there were no teenagers on heroin. It was a better time.
+Tina Elevation ....I think if you and your friends were black teenagers that police probably would have harassed you. Things have changed but not that much.
I am from Yonkers NY and I graduated High School in 1982. I then entered the United States Marine Corps and after boot camp at Parris Island and MOS training at Fort Bliss, my first duty station was in Cherry Point North Carolina. I remember this song coming out just before I received my orders to Okinawa Japan. I didn't live in the Barracks, I lived in a trailer park in Havelock. I recall standing in my tiny yard grilling burgers and dogs on a little Hibachi with my car stereo and my new Jensen speakers blasting the first time I heard this song. It was Spring after an unusually cold winter for the area. I was 19. I will never cease to marvel at the "Magic Power" of music to allow us to relive an entire era of our lives with just a few notes.
I remember this playing on the juke box in the game room at the bowling alley and the thrill of fixing ourselves up in the restroom to impress the boys. Innocent sweet times.
It sure does, Gen Z is the least musically rock generation to have ever lived. Poor you, they, them, he, her, she,her are a total mess of anxiety. ROTFL...Rock has died since the late 90s, wake up girl xx
@@irishrover9332you misunderstood what he was saying. He was saying great music from any age, specifically this age will never die in the souls of the youth. Dummy. I can tell you’re not the sharpest haha.

It hurts my soul cause it will never be like that again
I was glued to MTV on aug1 1981 changed everything
It's when the solo starts that does it to me.
Yes
The worst part about having lived through the '80s is how much you miss it now.
I'd like to start over in 1979, knowing everything I know now.

Absolutely!!!!

STOP STEALING MY COPYRIGHT MUSIC> every day i look up my old tunes, and somehow, nowhere ii am.
Drummer Kelly Keagy wrote this song about his younger sister. What an honor to have such an excellent song written about you!
He also sang lead on this song as well as "Goodbye".
The lyrics never made any sense until I read this.
Never knew tht, thanks for the info
Im crying in silent here reading all the comments and remembering the era of the best music.
❤
The 80’s were THE best. MTV, Saturday morning cartoons,actually going OUTSIDE and socializing with your friends,sleepovers,Friday night family night at Pizza Hut, Arcades, etc. I’m so glad I was able to enjoy that decade.
Yes! We truly didn’t know what we had.
We were so lucky to have at least seen the last of the great American days... Cause they were ❤
you nailed it right there.Used to play this at the Pizza Hutt jukebox all the time...
At least we live it!
You got the Saturday morning cartoons but you forgot the Sunday funny papers.😉
54 years old and love the memories from this song. There will never a decade like the 80’s. Glad I was apart of it!!!!
I'm 55 and yeah the 80s were the best. born late 60s grew up in 70s come of age in 80s. All the best music and great times. We've seen alot. If I could only go back to those days. Take care
Yes yes
You got that right, the crap out there nos awfull.
These bands Rocked ! I just turned 70 and I still listen and watch these video's ...
There will never be anything like the 80s ...!

The 80’s were it! The best times and music ever 😢
I'd give up 20 years of my life to be able to do the 80's over again. Loved this time in my life.

ALL THOUGH on the other hand. THERE WE'RE drugs related that *R U I N E D L I V E S*
My point is. from 60s to 80s and 90s sucked ass more than ever will be. *SURE* there is places in the world that still goes by those books and ruins lives *..........* BUT ! It's not as much because off what people did to take down those drug lords. You don't want to end upp as a nobody dead extacy overdose addict in an alley do you Dave Mckee ? Or maybe a heroin coke addict ?
Point here is. FROM 60s to END OF 90s SUCKED!!! only that was great was the music. Now we got cure for cancer. and so much more. and god knows what will bring in the future. maybe cure for epilepsy. oh wait, we have. but it costs 20 grand euro's to get it out ( *IF* possible ). who. WHO !! in the world has the money for that kind'a surgery just to remove something that can make you a vegetable someday
This comment right here.
Absolutely.
@@DranweRagetotem wtf you smoking???
God, I just wanted to Thank you for letting me be a teenager in the 80's.
I was to miss it
80s and 90s ruled
Right?
You are extremely lucky. I would give my arms and legs to have lived in the 80s as a teenager!!!
Class of '87 best times ever
I will never forget Friday Night Video's as a child. Man all of the great music from the 80's still can't be touched. Take care everyone.
The 80s were the greatest. Hell I'm 55 now. Friday nights after football games I'd come home shower and watch Miami Vice I had recorded on vcr. Those were the days.
You to
True. Best performers, Best musicians, best producers, and best sound engineers. We had it better than any generation.... Even the 1950s 🇺🇸🙌🏻
Sorry, but the 60s-70s beat out any other time in music! I'd include this band in those great times. ❤
@@ragapibarino well I will say that that error producef the top two greatest rock and roll band of all time... The Beatles and led Zeppelin. However music as a whole and still going to say the 80s has got you guys 🙂🇺🇸
I'm 71 years old still loving this song and a beautiful memories and music of the '80s missing the '80s sure did love the music🎉🎉
❤
So lucky to have grown up in the 80's. A great time for music, movies, and everything.
I wish I could have lived in the 80's and not the dumb 2000's😭
We truly had the best of everything. And I think we even knew it back then.
I am from 90s , no idea abt 80s 🤔
70s were better
Absolutely the best time to have grown up. I miss the 80s so much!
63 years old and I still love the heck out of this song!
60
Almost 65!!,, And still dancing it... Somehow.
63 here; are you married, Susan?
61
That makes you rad AF!
How time flies? I'm already in my 50s. Thought I'd never get old.
Never let go! ROCK ON!!!
Soundz like ur having fun ✌🏽😎
Same here 😊👍🏽
@@hayc59 I know exactly what you mean, I was 16 when I first heard this fantastic song 😊
Like a fine wine...we only get better with time
The golden 80‘s! God, how I miss them!!❤😢
My son is 17 and he tells me dad i wish that I was born in the 80s because y'all had badass music
Not to mention no cell phones. Life without the internet was better than we thought.
I’m 22 and I always tell my parents that I wish I grew up in their generation
It's really about music that had powerful emotion. That ended with grunge.
@@esavage8855 25 here. My dad raised me on VH, Night Ranger (more so Damn Yankees) and Ozzy. Man was so proud when I picked up guitar.
My kids too, they think it would be AWESOME,
There will never be a time again in this country like it was during the 80's. We all got along and the music went to your soul. I miss those days.
And all I want to cry...when all want to play and jam and be happy our America is no more...😞😭😭🤪
We all got a long except that one Asshole Traci
We did?
Love this song.
I think you. might be wearing rose colored glasses my friend
Summer of 1984……..12 yrs old with this on MTV rotation.
I loved Sister Christian!!❤️❤️❤️🎵🎶
❤
I remember listening to this song on last day of 6th grade in 1984....still gives me chills.
I agree that I still get chills....I was in 9th grade
I know why. You were "Litterin'" and you got sent to JuVee and then a Christian Military Sunday School, where EVERY Day, is Sunday..
Me too. The graduation themed video always resonated with me and I still love this song for that. Perfect timing.
Good times matthew
In 84 i was in basic training.
Great song and the best days of my life in the 80,s high school was a blast Great friends
Class of 85 here. This song brings such a range of emotions to me. Happiness because times were much more simple and life was good. Then a sense of sadness and broken heart because I had to make a hard decision and let my forever girl go. I had been pouring my life into her and I was still her fallback second choice. In the end, I won and found my forever girl now of 34 years. The good lord knows what is best for us. The 80s were the best time in life to be a teenager. Hands down.
Almost right, Class of 77, everything else is spot on!
Amen !mike amen! 80's best of times everything worked out in the end for you!!!good for you!!
I graduated in 82. That's close enough to relate. Why did you have to let go of your then girlfriend?
@@barryhessel6078to simplify it, at the time I was kind of her best friend and her fall back boyfriend when something fell through with another relationship. I couldn't keep pouring myself into her. I ended finding my current wife and she tried talking me out of marrying my current wife. She knows now what she missed out on. We still keep in close contact as friends but that in itself is very dangerous. Sad but happy situation. I believe God knows best for us 😊
All of you are beyond Great. The 80's were different. Mind you I was a child. Eyes without a Face. Billy Idol is next.
i think its sweet how its written for the drummers sister
Yes, her name is Christy but the band kept saying Christian. It stuck and now it's a timeless classic!
i was un aware of this thanks or the info
Brian Trout You're welcome.
I wrote a song about you.
The drummer is also the lead singer.
Class of 82! When men and women existed and life was GREAT! I'll take the 80's all over AGAIN!❤😊😅
What is the meaning men and women?
Well said! Fellow class of 82 graduate here.
Class of 87
Class of 88
Class of 85🎉 the best time to be alive ever miss it so much now 🎉😢
My life right now may be pitiful, but I was blessed to have grown up in the 80's. This song brings me joy and sadness because time cannot be rewound and these were indeed great times.
My friend I graduated in '85 ...these were epic songs and times, but just think Van Halen was massive, The Cars were so smooth, Run DMC was breaking barriers, and we had just been blessed with The Sugar Hill Gang, Midnight Star, and Michael was tearing it up!!!!....
My life is nearing it's end, and though some would bitch and complain, I lived through the best of times in recent history...find peace, God has it for all of us...❤
Great post Belle, yes it was a Awesome Decade to have lived through. Be sure to get a Brown Scapular for yourself. The Blessed Virgin wants everyone to be in Heaven. Give yourself this undeniable sacred gift from Jesus's mother. No one who does in this clothe will suffer damnation. That's Awesome. Not saying you are a bad person, just want you to have this gift from Heaven. It can only help, not hurt. Look it up and read about it, not long. But the gift is eternal.👍.
@@belleerion6549Hey fellow GenXer I graduated in 86 and my life is at the cusp of rebirth as I prep for a my 2nd and true purpose in life. I hope you are well and live another 50yrs.

Hang tough when going get rough!
I nearly cry when I hear these 80s songs, I miss the 80s so much
I'm 2000 but vice city if fckng awesome game and soundtrack ♥️
I don't. It sucked being a female in the 80s.
It's just the music in general, like what happened to it
Same...🥺🥺🥺
@@JoannaCubana It brings memories
Music is the only real time machine. There was no decade like the 80's.
It put everything before it in a bag and jumped into a car headed for the future. What other decade starts with 'Another One Bites the Dust' and ends with Prince's 'Batman' album?
The 80s are and will always be the greatest times ever. I was so blessed to be part of it.
If you didn't experience the 80's, then you didn't live.
Oh yeah!! 😢!! I would not trade it for anything!!
90s is much better tho
What? Are you serious 😅@Dwightfairfield. 80's so much better! You say that because you dont knew them... 90's = dance, techno, internet, social network, etc, in short the beginning of the end and all shit
@Old-Snake1983 i was born in 85 so i know lol
Ok so that means yo probably remember more of the 90s
I own the world's only time machine, and I'm giving free rides back to the 80s. Who wants to come along ???
I. Do!!!!!

I miss the 80s and 90s I’d do anything to go back

God, I miss those days with a longing I cannot begin to explain or even understand.
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of SISTER CHRISTIAN by Night Ranger, IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake, and EYE OF THE TIGER by Survivor in tribute to the age of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Stay safe and keep on rocking in the '020s.
Life was simpler back in the day!
In Heaven! We will go back !
My god, live your life for today man....
Miss the 80's....kids today don't know how good it was back then.
Okay
Funtimes!
Seems like we heard that from our elders lol. But so true
I’m 12 but ok
Good but dangerously decadent. It truly was the decade of decadance coupled with the best music ever.
In the 80's I would lie in bed, listening to my Sony Walkman thinking how great the future was going to be, now, it IS the future, and all I want is to go back to 1982!
I know what you mean😔
Amen Brother

It's sad (almost) not to see a GTA Vice Vity nostalgia comment.. ANYWAY, this song just made cry of nostalgia because it reminds me the old good days when I was just coming back home from school, turn on the PlayStation, starting GTA Vice City and tune up to Radio Emotion 98.3.. good old days!
I thought I was the only one here from GTA Vice City...
My momma used to sing this to me when I was a teenager. She died on Halloween. I miss her so much! ❤️

I am sorry to hear. She will always be with you in your heart to sing this song always.
:-( sad but glad you have some great memories but you will miss her forever and that is ok.
So sorry for your loss 🦋
I am 48. This song was at the top of the charts when I was going into middle school. I remember cars driving down the street, windows down blaring this song along with others popular during that time (there was alot of ICONIC songs from era). The 80's were a beautiful time.
I bought this tape with my own money. I had a walkman, and I would ride my bike and sing this song riding to meet up with my friends at the arcade. Then we would meet up in "Dead Mans Woods" to smoke, cigarettes and weed. We'd pass the walkman around or put 2 heads in the headset (always good with the girl you liked) and jam while getting stoned.
My first vehicle I bought with cash, a 71' Chevy truck short bed. Power steering would stick some times but it would haul ass. First song I played in my truck through many events and it was played at my wedding in 1998. I miss music like this. Im not one of those old folks that bags on todays music. This song along with others from that era are timeless.
those who love the 80s are the ones with good music taste.
That's why my mission is to show the world how good Guns N' Roses is
hope that things have gotten better for you
I miss this
@J LA class of 93’ we were all tapes by the end of the 80’s. The Blaupont take deck still rules all
@J LA my cousin was 89’. He had a bad ass record collection and lived it. Man he hated tapes. He kinda jumped into CD’s later. Damn that was still a while back
It was early 1985, I was 19. This absolutely gorgeous girl walks in the Airman's Club at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. I was immediately struck by her and when this song came on, she walks over to my table, grabbed my had, and led me to the dance floor. We danced to this song every time the DJ played it. So over the few Months, the more we danced, the closer and closer our love grew.
Well what about now??
54 years old and I still love the heck out of this song! The 1980’s were amazing! 🎙🎸🥁🎹
Class of '87 here... all this great music we grew up with throughout high school never fades. I've lost a few classmates, family, and friends over the years... but the music and memories keeps them all alive within my mind. 👍👍👍
1986 here. Music was great . Incredible times they were special. I've lost lots of my friends too. Lost em way too early. Here I am somehow and they live along with me in the music and memories. Take care
Class of 90 here brothers
Class of 91 and loving every moment!
Class of 76 agrees
Class of 85. The good thing is.....we're still here. 🫡🧐✌🏾🙏🏽
Thank God I was born in the 60s, grew up during the 70s, got married during the 80s, Laughed, Loved, and Lived LARGE during them all ..... 3 decades of music that never will be repeated
So Sad. I'm born in 1997, but I aways loved these musics.
Same, I tell my adult kids to enjoy the ride! People are in such a rush to get to nowhere nowadays...
I'd be honored if some fans of 80s power ballads would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of SISTER CHRISTIAN by Night Ranger, AGAINST ALL ODDS by Phil Collins, and PURPLE RAIN by Prince on my YT channel in tribute to the legends. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and keep on rocking.
Sad isn't it? Hopefully our kids or grandkids make music great again!

Nothing better than the 80’s, I tell ya. Rampant homophobia, and racism, the AIDS epidemic, the Cold War, the space shuttle Challenger disaster, the Wall Street crash, the Iran-Iraq war, police corruption, and the war on drugs. Damn I miss the 80s..
Me too. I'd say the best years of my life, but life has thrown some pretty cool things at me lately, so it seems more about who you are than what era it is...still, 80s music brings me back to a happy (and fun :)) time
KangaRooney and yet nobody gave a damn! Life was simple! Still the best times of the lives of most people who lived through it! If you concentrated on all that garbage then you missed a great decade!
Life on this planet will never like this again. Greatly missed

Let's Go..
Ha let's go 🤣

How about a DeLorean?
Kelley's voice was so beautiful and clear in this original video in 1985! I give him and the group much credit for still touring and spreading joy!
My 20's were the 80's and I had no idea how lucky I was.
I just turned 60. I lived my 20s through the 80s. Your words speak mine exactly! From 71 through 91 my life was defined by FUN!!! How lucky I was living those amazing times! Such amazing music!
We were all kinda libertarian liberal/conservative mixed just having good times! What happened??? Suddenly there's lefties forcing everything all catawampus today... & suddenly I'm a 60year old white supremacist toxic male nazi... Huhhhhhhhh??? WHATTTTTTTT???
Oh well - whatever - I'm still having fun listening to music like this so I'll enjoy smiling while the all the victim youngsters throw temper tantrums at each other today.
Yep - you & I were lucky beyond our ever knowing it having lived our 20s in the 80s!!!
Peace! -J.
I lit the decade on fire and enjoyed every second....I miss that decade so much.
I'm 59 but I heard this song at a crucial period in my life (and hardly ever again) and it has always stuck with me.

Alfred Molina is a very underrated actor IMO

Awesome... thanks for sharing
Cool dude

Cool!! I'm from the Bay Area as well. My Alma mater is Holy Names in Oakland... An all girls private high school...just like the video 💝
Night Ranger was a very underrated band; replete with unbelievable talent and one of the greatest guitar duos in rock history.
They played at a club I bartered at in the 90s. They were SO good. They also hung out after and didnt even pick up groupies. They were just cool "dont tell me U love me..."
They must be heard
We have to request this song to the radio
I’m so sick and tired of today’s bullshit and music. There was nothing better then growing up in the 70’s & 80’s. Life was so great hanging out with family and friends.long live rock and roll 🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️❤️
LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL!
I'm 16 and all I hear in Spotify is a bunch of 70's and 80's music. A lot of Journey because Steve Perry Is a god at singing.
I agree! The 70$&80$ are in my opinion the two greatest decades ever! Thank God that's when I grew up!
I have to live in and be part of this stupid bullshit generation. I would give just about anything to be born in the mid 60's, so I could enjoy the amazing 70's and 80's

@@gunsnrosesdefinition7672 Yeah man, noticed how most 90s - Today's band are more common on the algorithm and media but 80s bands and music in general are pretty left out especially the smaller ones.

REO Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You
Roxy Music - More Than This
John Waite - Missing You
I was in high-school in the 80's.
What I loved most about it ...Everyday was like Halloween, The fashion and the hair was over the top!!! We had New-wavers, Heavy-metalers, Stoners, Punkers, Princers, MJers,, Gothers, Madonnas, Boy Georgers, Breakdancers..etc... and I loved the music of all those groups!Thank God I was able to experience the 80's!

I grew up listening to this song in grade 12 and the song "Sister Christian" was really like the next stage of life for me as I grew up in a small southern Saskatchewan rural farming town of 2500. Went off to Kelsey in Saskatoon and did two years of automotive mechanics and then to Calgary where I worked as a machinist and parts person at Canadian Tire. After that, I went to university and got my B.Ed degree and then my Master degree in Education, followed by a my permanent certification as a teacher.
This song always brings back so many high school memories since back in 1986 I was just a stupid teenager growing up in the middle of no-where and now today I am an Elementary / High School teacher with a Masters in ESL I came a long long ways since high school so Sister Christian by Night Ranger has really special meaning to myself....
I do really miss my high school classmates b/c everyone that we attended kindergarten with moved through the public school system as single cohesive group for 13 years. That means all +50 of us stayed together from kindergarten all through school till the end of grade 12 where after high school in 1986, everyone went their separate ways.
Remember my Mom blaring this in her truck when I was young absolutely love it
Babybuu hope you followed in her footsteps! cheers!
+Yesenia Garcia nice song
my mom didnt need to blare it....i would....best song from the 80's!!
Babybuu my mom did that when i was 6 & that was probably 8 years ago😂😂i still love this song tho
Amanda Marconi 😉👍
bring back the 80s , and with them the musicians like these who can perform musical instruments well.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss the 80's dearly, this country was awesome back then, it's slowly dying now from PC/sjw/liberal fairy nonsense.
There are new bands/acts that still perform with actual musical instruments
I was in 8th grade when this song came out. I thought life was so hard with juvenile concerns, had no idea how good life then really was.
Right? Not in 1958
I was a teenager in the 70's, in my 20's in the 80's! The absolute greatest time to be young listening to all this fantastic music!
..same here buddy....
Ditto Most of the songs in my son's Spotify account are from before he was born. He'll watch old RUclips videos of concerts and tell me how lucky I was to grow up with all that great music!
I got robbed, i was born In 84, grew up in the 90s today's music is mostly trash, I listen tl the older music, should have been born in the 1960s
Makes me remember the high school dances once in a lifetime experience. If only the younger generation knew. A beautiful time to be alive
I never liked school dances much and stopped going to them, and to high school in general. Before college, I didn't do much with the girls that I met in school. I didn't like the whole fishbowl effect, where everybody is watching and talking about everything you do. I sought out my female companionship beyond the Platonic in places outside of school. But I think it would be much more difficult to do that now.
Although, if I knew then what I know now, I could have had more fun during my time in high school, fishbowl or not.
@yo I was about 17 in 1980. I had fun too, but I was also had to deal during that decade dealing with my drug addition, a failing marriage, housing instability and falling grades in college. Once I got into recovery and got my pwn apartment, things got better, but I still lived in a really, really scary and violent slum for a couple of years until I moved tho the less scary slum where I still live.
We do know. I'm intensely envious of your generation. What a time the 70's-90's must have been to really experience.
You guys had one of the best periods in human history to be alive and enjoy. Growing up in the early 2000's to present day, what a bleak future we have. Cherish your great memories.
I call my 4 year old daughter "Sister Christian." She says this is her song. 🥰
I liked the 40s. Ha
That's beautiful
This song came out the summer I graduated from HS. I went to a private school, so the video really hit close to home. How I miss those days. The 80's were a wonderful time.
❤ Amen sister!
I cant hear this song without the firecrackers in the back ground
In the master bedroom... under the bed... in a floor safe. Understand?
Todd count the money in the car!
“You want to play baseball”?
That scene in Boogie Nights *almost* ruined this song for me. Thankfully, I forced myself to associate it with earlier memories, like slow dancing to SC at middle school dances.
Lol yep this song and that whole scene just made that movie and this song better...
The crescendo in that guitar riff in the middle of song is absolutely legendary. I have to listen to more than once, I can never get enough of it.
So true! The crescendo in the solo gives me chills too. Absolutely phenomenal!
I'm hungry for more good music
It rises like an erection, then suddenly goes flat.
Anyone know what the actual meaning of this song is about? I mean... It can be taken in 2 ways. His little Sister named Christian..or is it also about nuns? SISTER meaning a nun? Because, in the video there are Nuns shown
Greatness my friend. 80's For Life.
I'm in my 50s as well. Saw these in concert in the 80s. Still jamming to the 70s and 80s. We had the Best Music !!!
Beautiful song I'm definitely '80s lady❤❤❤
My friends this was the rock anthem of a generation. I feel bad for kids today. We smoked at school, drank and hung out parks with no police hassle, and there were no teenagers on heroin. It was a better time.
SO TRUE!!!

VERY VERY TRUE!!!!!!
+Tina Elevation ....I think if you and your friends were black teenagers that police probably would have harassed you. Things have changed but not that much.
I am from Yonkers NY and I graduated High School in 1982. I then entered the United States Marine Corps and after boot camp at Parris Island and MOS training at Fort Bliss, my first duty station was in Cherry Point North Carolina. I remember this song coming out just before I received my orders to Okinawa Japan. I didn't live in the Barracks, I lived in a trailer park in Havelock. I recall standing in my tiny yard grilling burgers and dogs on a little Hibachi with my car stereo and my new Jensen speakers blasting the first time I heard this song. It was Spring after an unusually cold winter for the area. I was 19. I will never cease to marvel at the "Magic Power" of music to allow us to relive an entire era of our lives with just a few notes.
Thank you for your service to this great country!

Dirk Diggler was over-his-head when this classic started playin... especially when Todd wanted the $$ from the "floor safe..." ....oh shit..

I turned my son on to this song when he was 6. Hes 16 now and still says its his fav. Great music never dies in th souls of our youth.
It sure does, Gen Z is the least musically rock generation to have ever lived. Poor you, they, them, he, her, she,her are a total mess of anxiety. ROTFL...Rock has died since the late 90s, wake up girl xx
@@irishrover9332you misunderstood what he was saying. He was saying great music from any age, specifically this age will never die in the souls of the youth. Dummy. I can tell you’re not the sharpest haha.
