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

[FORD]

I remember Guitar world saying in a review or something that if the Sex Pistols wrote Talk Dirty to Me it would be considered brilliant !

Well, they sort of did..... That guitar riff is pretty much a ripoff of "God Save The Queen".

[78/84 guy]

True. Sort of. lol.

[ashstralia]

haha!! some classic ac⚡dc threw a spanner in the works...

i thought they had cool hair.

[jhale667]

I knew it existed, now i have proof.

Sad little man. I'd say don't quit your day job, but...

[jhale667]

Fuck this, let's listen to some more of the Scream...

[78/84 guy]

The cool thing about AC/DC Is the fact that they never gave a fuck about what was going on around them. EVER ! Even Metallica came out dressed like idiot's in the early grunge period. I refused to buy Load when it came out because of it. Glad I didn't. What a terrible album. Bon was the best. Wonder how he would have taken bands like Poision ?

[jhale667]

Badlands ruled.

[fraroc]

It was gay, dude. All of it was cloaked gayety for closet 's like yourself.

Bon wasn't averse to a little commercialism himself...

The Badlands I still play to death is their second CD, Voodoo Highway. Jake was ripping it up. Ray's pipes, more soulful than ever and Jeff Martin! Holy sheeit! Who'da thunk the nutty lead singer from Racer X would also turn out to be a phenomenal jazz schooled drummer? That whole CD has such an awesome swampy aura about it. The follow up, Dusk, only had shades of Voodoo's mystique.

Where in the hell is Jake these days?? Last, I heard, he played on a couple of Enuff Z'Nuff tunes. He really needs to be out there doing something.

[Seshmeister]

Last I heard he was in Vegas playing the odd gig in bars.

The Webmaster of his website posted once a while ago asking where he was because he had disappeared for months.

Looks like nothing has been added there since 2008...

[DLR Bridge]

The best 90's band too me was Brother Cane.

Dug them too! Damon Johnson is too talented to do the ol' band hoppin' routine. He needs to get the Cane back on it or do a solo CD. Is he really with Thin Lizzy now??

Jake?? Man, that sucks.

It's interesting too me how he went from writing for sort of late 60's hippie band's to just killing lyric wise in AC/DC. Like a spark up his ass ! He was one clever fucker. I listened too a few of them at work the other day and he had me rolling ! Soul Stripper must be about Kristy !

[DLR Bridge]

love this tune.
