Hair Metal bands that actually ROCKED (opinion war starts NOW!)

I heard Vinnie Vincent sucks balls

Glam, hair, whatever. When you think about it, none of this stuff was metal either. Hard rock and pop rock really.

Most of it was slightly-louder bubblegum crap. Seriously, the only difference between Poison and the Bay City Rollers, is that the Rollers didn't wear makeup or try to look like chicks.

Everyone of them sucked balls

The bay City Rollers didn't go to bed too late and get up too soon

Hair bands (of the late 80's) were nothing more than an avenue for young, confused suburban white boys to live out their homoerotic fantasies to. None of them "rocked" they all sucked balls.

Most of it was slightly-louder bubblegum crap. Seriously, the only difference between Poison and the Bay City Rollers, is that the Rollers didn't wear makeup or try to look like chicks.

In light of these extremely pertinent & true statements, let me make it QUITE CLEAR that Poison & the like was/will never be on my speakers on purpose. The lowest I go is Bullet Boys, Skid Row, Mr. Big, Motley Crue & similar shit.

And that already makes me feel somewhat shameful, like I described above. Can't help it, though.

Cheers! :bottle:

Weren't those guys Sesh's old band?

Cheers! :bottle:

I thought Skid Row's Slave To The Grind was a damn good album.

I thought Skid Row's Slave To The Grind was a damn good album.

All due to Sebastian's imaginative, insanely intense vocals.

Try to listen to only the instruments & laff (or cry, as may be the case).

Cheers! :bottle:

I'll admit to owning Motley Crue's first two albums. Couldn't really stand them after that though. As for Mr. Big, what a damn shame to have that much talent in a band and waste it on shitty music.

I think it adds to the guilty pleasure.

Like wanking in the stall next to Cindy Crawford while she's doin' her business.

I don't think this post is a good idea.

Well, of course not. They had to be awake early on Saturday morning to do their TV show, which came on before the cartoons, at least around here.....

Tesla is a band that had fantastic talent. Great band. WASP's debut I put up there with the best debuts of all time. Not a single throwaway track on it. Ratt was superb.

Bullet Boys.

They got piled up with the rest of the shit that started spewing out of everywhere after Poison, but they were actually VERY good, there was some real talent there.

I love it.

Cheers! :bottle:

The first three BulletBoys CDs are awesome. Very underrated band.
One of my best friends was their drummer up until a couple o' weeks ago, actually -he bailed for greener pa$ture$. Said every time they played "THC Groove" he flashed back to us trolling Hollywood back in the day, when "Freakshow" was kinda the soundtrack..


First 3 Skids records are cool, too.

[Mr. Vengeance]

A band from that era that I thought was vastly underated.

It's way hard to find, since it's been out-of-print since the late 90s, but John Corabi's pre-Motley band the Scream (with Bruce Boullett of Racer X who rips) was pretty kick ass too... kinda similar to how the Motley record he did (IMO still their best overall effort since Shout at the Devil, and far superior musically) turned out, but even bluesier.




Correction: Looks like someone's uploaded most of the CD on YouTube... cool!~
