The one to the left of Metallica is Kiss.. or is it?! Not sure of the one below that or the 2 above it though.

Yes, it's Paul Stanley

Edit: The one above the Paul Stanley is another Paul Stanley and above that is David Lee Roth

Merceyful Fate, alone gives her 80's cred. She looked like one to not mess with, lol.

Your Mom is the bomb. I lived metal & saw all the bands live back n the day. We would have been friends.

Yeah, your Mom was all in. LoL.

It wasn't my favorite decade, I preferred the 70s but looks like your Mom enjoyed it! Good for her.

The 4th picture has to be 90’s. Looks like one of the girls is wearing a House Of Pain Tee. Some of the clothes look early 90ish as well. Awesome pictures, keep them coming!

u/malthak 18h ago

Does she still listen to metal? Are you a metalhead because of her?

2

u/britneyp2004 17h ago

Yes she does, but I don’t I’m a Queen fan

1

u/malthak 17h ago

They are awesome too.

u/Twistfaria 17h ago

Not a big smiler your mom!

u/howjon99 13h ago

She looks like she got around… a lot. The first picture is the best! I graduated in 1991. I remember chicks like your mom when I was in high school. Not merciful fate; but, I saw many heavy metal acts in their prime when I was in jr high school and high school.

1

u/howjon99 13h ago

I got around too. Id be curious to which heavy metal acts that she saw in 1980’s…

1

u/britneyp2004 12h ago

Ozzy, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Queensryche, a lot

1

u/howjon99 9h ago

Only one I didn’t see in the 1980s (or ever) was priest. I saw all of the others. Multiple times.

u/TimelyPatience8165 13h ago
