i dont see why 80's hair metal is put down so much. I mean sure it was cheesy and all, but look at the guitarist back then. WAYYYYYY better then mainstream guitarist today. At least the 80s had some kick ass guitar players (except for maybe poison). I mean look at the dude from winger. he was cheesy and stuff, but he could absolutley kill on guitar. look at mainstream bands now like linkin park, korn, limp bizkit, & godsmack. These are TERRIBLE guitar players. i would rather listen to fuckin winger all day then that stupid shit . Im not talking about good metal today thats bad.... just mainstream metal or mainstream music in general.
