Happy Tuesday everyone! It's always good when Monday has come and gone. Since it is Tuesday I'll be doing my usual Three Tune Tuesday which is an event started by @ablaze , I wanted to send thanks his way for continuing to support the weekly event. Today I felt like some hard rock music from the the 1980's, I heard the first song I chose last night in a movie and decided it would be fun to share. I even put together a theme, heart break songs from some hard rockers.

That got me thinking about this cool token which I've shared once before, but it's perfect for some hard rock on a Tuesday so I'm sharing it again. This silver striker token came from the Hard Rock Hotel And Casino in Las Vegas. They could be won in Silver Striker slot machines which I think are a thing of the past as I haven't seen them in years now. The Hard Rock Hotel is also a thing of the past closing permanently in 2020...

About the token
Image from thread

Isn't that pretty? Solid silver in the middle are surrounded by a brass ring, then they 24 Karat heavy gold electroplating over the silver. It's a nice token that I picked up years ago, it was also really hard to take a decent picture of it. The colors just didn't work well with my camera setup at the time. I keep meaning to try and find some more of these from the old hotel, but the gold plated one's are often expensive. A lot of the regular silver ones are running around $30 which is high in my opinion as they only have 0.65 Troy ounces of silver. But since it's part of Las Vegas history they get a premium price!

Anyway, let's get started with the music for the day now!

Formed in 1983 in New Jersey they released their first album the following year. However, their third album "Slippery When Wet" was the album that made them rock legends. It sold over 20 million copies and was followed by extensive tours worldwide. They were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame 2018 after a long and successful career that isn't over yet. They still like writing music and touring. Here's "You Give Love A Bad Name":

In 1979 Pat Benatar released her debut album "In The Heat Of The Night" that very quickly shot up the music charts to number three with her big hit "Heartbreaker". Since that time she has released eleven more albums with most of her success coming in the 1980's. She was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in 2022 immortalizing her long career. Here's her first big hit, "Heartbreaker""

Mötley Crüe

Mötley Crüe formed in Los Angles, California in 1981 and released their debut album the same year. Often well known as the bad boys of rock and extravagant style of living. These legendary rockers have sold over 100 million albums worldwide. They have often been in the center of controversy throughout their long career, and somehow none of them ended up dead despite struggles with addiction. Another interesting fact is that of the three bands today these are the only guys that continue to get snubbed by the Rock Hall of Fame. This song comes off of their album "Dr. Feelgood" and it's called "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)":
