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

[fraroc]

Cinderella is really underrated in terms of musical talent. Tom Keifer is one hell of a singer, guitarist and pianist. I mean, just listen to this preformance from the Moscow Peace Festival. Before "Nobody's Fool" he plays probably one of the most beautiful guitar solos I have ever heard. People say that it sucks because he's not "shredding" well, screw you. Speed dosen't matter, it's the beauty of the melody just makes the solo.

The 1990 lineup of Whitesnake was like an All-Star team. Vai and Vandenberg, two fucking LEGENDARY guitarists. Rudy Sarzo who is an INCREDIBLE bassist and of course, Tommy Aldridge who is no more than fucking awesome. "Slip of the Tounge" is their absolute BEST album, the title track and Judgement Day are just....badass.


So what do you guys think?


PS.
I know a certain bitch is going to open up her mouth on this thread (cough)krusty(cough) so before you even think of opening your mouth, no one wants to hear your fucking shit, so just shut the fuck up.

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:

Hey, what's Hair Metal if not a guilty pleasure?

I feel like a total man slut every time I listen to it.

Like getting drunk & having unprotected sex with an ugly fat sow just for the orgasm.

I feel dirty & I regret it, but an orgasm always feels good, no matter what drove me to it or what the outcome will be.

Hair Metal is those 2-3 seconds. And all the regrets & self-loathing will come later.

Cheers! :bottle:

When I was working for Hyundai all the cars had satellite radio. Hair Nation was the station for me. Hair bands for the most part weren't that bad. A little fem sometimes but not bad.

As the hair metal years were happening, particularly '88 to '90, I gravitated towards a mixed bag of hair. Some for their classic rock sound, some for the cheese and sleeze beasts they'd attract at their shows. I'm sure a vet can tell which provided which:

Love Hate
Tesla
Badlands
Bullet Boys
Dangerous Toys
Bang Tango
Britney Fox
Law & Order
Xenon
American Angel
Warrior Soul
Cinderella
Extreme
King's X
Lynch Mob
Mr. Big
White Lion
Sea Hags
Vain
L.A. Guns
Enuff Z' Nuff

And probably ten or so others that escape me at the moment.

It's funny how open minded some people get as they get older. I find myself listening to some music now I never would have allowed to play on my stereo when I was younger. And changing station on something I once found listenable.

Motley was glam. Did glam morph into hair?

[Dave's Bitch]

The lines between the two blur very easy

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

[Dave's Bitch]

I guess if you want to split hairs () you could say there is a difference.Slade are a glam band,Poison are a hair band.But there is far too much of that shit in music anyway.I recently learned there was such a thing as melodic death metal


Anyway,This song and the album kick serious ass

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.
