Forgotten Bands

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Which '80s bands which were either left behind and forgotten when the '90s killed metal, or never really did anything which got remembered in the first place do you guys like? Hehe.

Here are some "forgotten" 80s bands I think rock:

• Lizzy Borden
• Loudness
• Leatherwolf
• Slave Raider
• Nitro
• Vinnie Vincent Invasion
• Kick Axe
• Savatage
• Kingdom Come
• Pretty Boy Floyd

Heheh I reckon all those bands like Leatherwolf, Savatage, Accept, Scorpions, Kick Axe etc should've been bigger than they were coz they kinda bridged the gap between hair metal and the more traditional power/heavy metal like Maiden, Priest, Manowar, etc.

And dodgy glam like Pretty Boy Floyd, Nitro and Slave Raider just rocks

The glam is strong with this one...

 

[Wrathchild]

How about:

Thunder
Extreme
Dangerous Toys
Frehley's Comet
The Scream
Sammy Hagar (solo)
Black Sabbath 1980-95 (never gets any recognition, despite most of it being better than the Ozzy years).
Wendy O Williams/The Plasmatics

And...

UNION!!

Night Ranger. They were just great, but so few people actually heard of them. Crazy, crazy, crazy....

 

[Joe Salami]

And I'm just doing this, because it is my 100th post.

Heheheh great list there duellist, I spot another glam fan...

Dunno if Poison are a forgotten band though hehe, they still headline arena tours! Ahhhh I wish I could go see them..

Cinderella and Ratt are 2 of the BEST glam bands ever!
Night Songs... *drool* What an album!

Heheh and I was listening to Vixen just this morning, they rock!

THUNDER!

 

[Eddy]

Tarot. The pioneers of Finnish metal. The singer/bassist plays in Nightwish nowadays and if my sources are correct, he quit in Sinergy a while ago.

 

[Goreripper]

I wouldn't say that Rainbow are forgotten. If it weren't for them, power metal would not exist.

 

[duellist]

Are we talking about the same rainbow? The one with Richie Blackmore and Dio or Joe lynn Turner on vocals.

Oh yeah I have thougt of a couple more

Qiot Riot
Cheap Trick
Rose Tattoo
Ram Jam (you know Black Betty)

Europe

You bastard. Now all I'm gonna have in my head all day is "Woah, Black Betty, bam-bah-lam" over and over again.

 

[Wrathchild]

It's almost, but not quite, as annoying as Radar Love. I hate that song!

Wasn't Kill Me Ce Soir (from the Holy Smoke single) originally written and recorded by the same band? Golden something or other?

(I would say Shower, but I'm guessing...)
