Sleaze/glam metal

[Necroraven]

Thoughts? Recommendations? Recently I've been listening to Crashdïet hell of a lot.

van halen and guns n roses aren't bad

Before I got into heavier (and honestly better) stuff, I was a HUGE Mötley Crüe fan. I still like them and all, it's just like I feel they just arn't that cool as they used to be when I was 15 and they were the baddest dudes on earth imo.

Check out Shout at the Devil if you havn't already.

Skid Row has some pretty good stuff. Motley Crüe, Van Halen, Guns n Roses and Velvet Revolver (?) are all pretty decent.

L.A. Guns has always been my fave. Their first four albums (L.A. Guns, Cocked And Loaded, Hollywood Vampires, and Vicious Circle) are good.

And each of the first couple of albums by Dangerous Toys, Dirty Looks, as well as Faster Pussycat had some great sleazy hard rock/metal.

I really like that Crashdiet album. The newer album I can't really get into though.
Old school Poison, Ratt and the like are the way to go!

Its about as legit as nu metal.

 

[The Ozzman]

If you consider this glam metal, it's the best glam album ever

 

[Hell Patrol]

Dokken is brilliant.

Skid Row is the only band in this genre worth a damn imho.

Get your values in order dude. Glam metal/sleaze is nowhere NEAR the incompetence of nu-metal.

You obviously haven't heard Dokken then

Can W.A.S.P be categorized as sleaze metal too? if so then they'd be good for a listen as well.

Steel Panther, they're a joke band but they're actually pretty awesome.

Pantera's "Power Metal" album kicks ass! "Shout At The Devil" is an obvious recommendation. Dokken, Ratt, Poison, all fun. I pretty much like glam/sleaze indiscriminately tbh, so much of it sounds the same but it all sounds good.

Agreed. "Death to all but Metal!" by Steel Panther is essential listening if one is interested in glam metal.

This.

Reckless Love of course is great, though almost too cheerful sometimes.

Totally! W.A.S.P. is one of the best glam/sleaze bands of all time! The Last Command is awesome!

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

This.

Awesome album. Let's not forget about Loudness and Shotgun Messiah.

 

[The Butt]

W.A.S.P. is pretty awesome too but that's it.
