I'm guessing only people of a certain age will even get this joke.

I suppose anyone under 30 wouldn't get it, but you'd be surprised. Some kids these day know more about music from the "old days" than you'd think.

I'm 23 and I think I get it. Is it a reference to Rock of Ages?

The Cure was a pop band from the 80's.

A-ha, That's the first I've heard of them, they sound like a Motley Crew

Yeah, kinda. They both sucked, in my opinion.

He cracked me up, too! Always liked Elton!

lol, that costume still makes me go WTF!

IKR? In those days I believe he said he was drinking a bottle of Johnny Waller Red Label as day plus God knows what else! Lol. :)

'Quacking' you up...

Lol. Yes you definitely are!

Listening to them is like putting Nine Inch Nails through your hands.

Yes, but it could send you to a state of Nirvana if you'd just focus a little harder.

Well, why don't you just Wing(er) it.

This Riot?

Still sitting here, listening to Papa Roach

Woe woe. The crue didnt suck. Tommy lee sucks but the crue as a whole rocked

First of all, it's "Whoa! Whoa!" .. and second of all, the only thing Tommy Lee sucked was any part of Pamela Anderson's body that he wanted to when she was still a hottie! The man was SICK on the drums, bro! The only one still alive who may have been able to beat him was Neil Peart. I think the crap that transpired between him and Pammy, the Crue, the party life, and the stupid viral porn video has influenced people into thinking negatively about him. But believe me, I saw him in concert and I heard him on a radio concert show do some of the most insane solos conceivable! The man was just tops in his class! Please don't judge his drumming skills by his personal lifestyle. Maybe he sucks at drumming now, although that's also debatable.Peace

No worries. I'm a drummer too and always liked the crue. Just saw them a month ago and out of the 5 times i seen them it was probably the best i ever seen them and his rotating stage solo over the crowd was freakin awesome. I like the drummer just not the man. Check out "this drummer is at the wrong gig" that friggin guy kills.

You should check out Ginger Baker's solo, the dude from Cream. One of the biggest gripes ppl have with Tommy Lee is that he appears to be more of a showman than an actual drum soloist because of his props and what not. Not to mention his potty mouth!! But Ginger Baker does none of that. His drum solos consist of virtually nothing but drumming, even if he does use the occasional cowbell. lol

pretty much dropped as many turds as a flock of seagulls

The Cure was cool and I still listen to some of their songs but I can only listen for so long before getting depressed and wanting to kill oneself, which was so cool back then. Lol. :)

Lol, exactly! Where do you think Goths got some influences from?

Hey Grumpy, you should definitely like this....

"Pop" band? No son...not a "pop" band.

Well gag me with a spoon. I must be a dweeb.

or at least a Dweezil

I don't understand this reference but my favorite music's from the late 80's and throughout the 90's. Especially 90's alternative.

10,000 Maniacs is a United States-based alternative rock band, which formed in 1981 and continues to be active with various line-ups. (I let wikipedia do most of the work:)

Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee.. Cure.. heehee..
I'm 12..

13 and listen to Boston.

I haven't seen anyone mention this chic!

I always liked her, a lot! I had the hots for Cindy!! Hubba Hubba! Lol! What was the guy who played her father in the video "Girls wanna..." he had the rubber bands all over him, weird guy! Captain Lou something?

Captain Lou Albano of WWF Wrestling fame

Thank you!! I couldn't remember the rest!! Did you watch that too, back then?

The Cure was a band that was well-known in the 80s. So if the dog has a condition that causes him to forget the existence of 80s bands, from his point of view "there is no Cure." Get it? :)

Now it seems everyone is making jokes on the thread trying to tie band names from 2 or 3 decades (or their famous songs) ago into their meme comments! :)

Even if you don't know the band you can still figure out why it's funny.

I know the band ^>^
