80s hair bands (more for the old schoolers)

[Papa Josh]

So, who are some of the hair bands that you listened to or still listen to?

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

None.. anyways you should really put this thread in Old School forum...

 

[Papa Josh]

Figured General Music Discussion applied... are the thread police gonna arrest me?

 

[skeptik]

No, it's just that you would get a way better response there because people there actually listen to hair metal.

W.A.S.P and mötley cue

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

WASP isn't a hair band, they're heavy fucking metal. The majority of the time, at least.

Have you ever listened to W.A.S.P. or seen what they looked like?
Good hair bands:
Motley Crue
Skid Row
W.A.S.P.
L.A. Guns

Eh, not "hair bands". The term stands for bands like Poison or Cinderella, basically not metal bands, just "cheesy rock" bands of the 80s. Actually it is a lame and silly term ("hair metal" that is) but if it is one time silly to categorize bands by lyrics, then doing it because of their hair is 132423423234 times silly. And yes W.A.S.P. are just heavy metal, as some of the bands you mentioned too.
Basically my thoughts about this whole "genre" are simply described by Helstar and the dedication of their "He's a Woman, She's a Man" cover:
"Dedicated to the bands who are all glam and no jam, all hair and no face, image and no substance".

I was a thrasher mate, not a poofta.

 

[Mythos Inibri]

does it count if they are balding now?

 

[Death Animal]

Electric sircus has some hairy moments in those days but Yes wasp is metal for me.

 

[Priest of Evil]

Hair metal is a stupid term, a fine line between metal and hair metal and its a waste of time debating it really. But for the record, the debut albums of Poison and Cinderella each had a couple of absolute crackers on them and to this day, i still get a kick out playing them. Night Songs, Look What the Cat Dragged In are the first two that spring to mind.
