Spooky

I so agree! I'm a headbanger child of the mid to late 80's, and so much of this movie was absolutely dead on! I grew up and live in North America(USA), but these Canadian guys were almost exactly like a lot of the guys I hung out with from the age of 13 to about my mid-30's. Even down to Dean having a piss-poor rock band! A buddy of mine was a pretty talented guitarist, and I'll never forget the weekend we all jumped in my Camaro and went to Winnemucca, Nevada for a weekend gig at this biker bar! All the guys in the band were drinking hard liquor from the time we got to town. A couple of them passed out cold, then got up like an hour later to go to the bar and play their gig. Once the bar closed we headed straight to the brothels right there in town, and that was a riot too! Those of us that didn't actually hire out one of the working girls there just hung out in the bar with the ones who weren't busy and BS'ed with them til like 6 in the morning. This was all on a Sunday night, and I had to work at my warehouse job at 4 p.m. Monday! Drove all the way back to Ogden, UT without any sleep and still half drunk. Actually made it to work, but ended up going home "sick" after only a half hour! Lol. I was so hung over, every time I bent over to pick up a case, I got dizzy and thought I was gonna fall right over! Good, good times man! This movie hit home on so many levels! I finally mellowed out once I was hitting my late 30's, but up til that point, me and my buds had a blast just like old Dean and Terry! :o) Damn, all the music was dead on too. Poison, Slaughter, etc. I remember being so sick of "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" being played nonstop on the rock stations at the time, I thought I was gonna lose my mind the next time I heard it! Oh yeah, then there was the whole cancer deal too. I knew a guy who partied and drank like a fish every single weekend. In fact, he overdid it so much he actually had to have a liver transplant by the time he was in his late 20's! And even then, he was just like Dean. He continued to party just as hard after his transplant, and his doctor told him his new liver was beginning to fail because he hadn't changed his habits at all. The doc told him they wouldn't give him another liver if he destroyed the transplanted one. It finally sank in, and he finally started to lay off the drinking and drug binge at that point!
