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

[PETE'S BROTHER]

I... would I?

Nah...

Cheers! :bottle:

you would

[sadaist]

It does if you happen to be in a gay pseudo metal band.

You are too fixated on the visual. When really it comes down to the root fact that these are musical bands, and the music/sound is the foundation. Yeah they all looked pretty much the same, but when you were in your car playing the cassette you couldn't see them, just hear them. It's there that the fate & length of their careers were determined.

Dude, they were GROWN MEN in spandex, LIP STICK & MAKE-UP singing about their cocks to other GROWN MEN!!!

[Kristy]

I think I hurt my back picking up that name I dropped....



Maybe Krusty can spare a Dilaudid......

Ha! Your own F A T body weight working against you.

[Kristy]

I love how you post pics of women other than yourself in your avatar, but call out LZ for plagiarism.

Didn't I also call you out for intellectual property right plagiarism?

You are a dude posting as a chick at a DLR site, what exactly is your point here?

We supported Dave Evans
a couple of years ago . He wrote this or so he said on stage .
Fuck the posters said Dave Evans it looked like crocodile Dundee

[FORD]

Well, I don't know if he wrote it or not (as far as I know, Angus & Malcolm did). But he DID record a version of the song with the band, which was released as a single in Australia. There's even a video for it.....

[vandeleur]

That video looks like someone photo shopped Angus into a sweet gig

So that's 30 odd year ago , he still looked good for his age . He had that cool biker thing going on.

RIOT. Always liked these guys, even though they never really hit the big time. They had a lot of bad luck.

Bulletboys cover of the Tom Waits tune, " St. Christopher " was awesome. Don't know much else about these acts mentioned in the thread.

At the time, I just figured they are mostly just a bunch of third rate pansey assed posers and never bothered to check them out.

But I have recently taken a liking to Skid Row, after seeing Sebastion Bach on the Canadian comedy show, " Trailer Park Boys ". Some of their stuff is pretty good. Their mini cd of cover tunes wasn't that bad.

Atar of the king.. Swords and Tequila

Kings X was the anti-hair band. They arrived during the peak of the hair era yet delivered fresh music of depth and substance while their peers were singing about partying and sex (not that there's anything wrong with that).
King X is one of the greatest rock groups of our generation and Gretchen goes to Nebraska is their Masterpiece

[jhale667]

King's X rules. They're one of the best live bands I've ever seen too.

[lesfunk]

I sang with Kings X on their Ear Candy tour in Hartford. I had been in the front singing along when DUg heard me and passed the Mic down and we began a back and forth passing the mic to each other. At the end He pulled me up on stage for the encore. I sang Closer to home by Grand Funk.
Pretty cool. At the end Jerry Gaskill got out from behind his kit to shake my hand. Awesome.

[jhale667]

Glad Jerry recovered from his recent heart attack, too!
