RussTCB Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I like most of the acts you mentioned there. I cannot stand Enuff Z Nuff though. They've just never done even one song I like at all. For me, so called Hair Metal falls under the category of "There's a time and a place for that". I can usually find time for it more often than not though.

They're fuckin' deadly man...and what about Bullet Boys???!??W.A.S.P. is a cool band before Blackie Lawless turned into a weird jesus freak who refuses to play Fuck Like A Beast. Ratt is pretty cool too. I like Bullet Boys somewhat, not a huge fan. I hit post on accident and forgot to add Faster Pussycat to the list as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFA Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 here's what i said on a different forum:I have been hard at work at an ultimate glam rock/hair metal bands list, and after hours of listening to this music, both on the CDs i own and on the glam rock Pandora station, I believe this to be the list of the most epic bands ever, ordered top to bottom, with the top being the best, and the bottom being awesome, but not GNR/MC/Poison awesome. Guns N' Roses (like it or not they have roots in the glam rock/hair metal scene)Mötley CrüePoisonFaster PussycatL.A. GunsWarrantCinderellaWhitesnakeKingdom ComeQuiet RiotSkid Row (not technically glam rock, however Skid Row existed in the 80's as a hair rock to hair metal band)Enuff Z'NuffTwisted Sister80's Van HalenRattW.A.S.P. before Blackie Lawless went weird and turned into a jesus freak who refuses to play Animal i am open to suggestions on re-ordering/adding bands.

Iron MikeyJ Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Putting Van Halen on this list is incorrect, unless you add Kiss and AC/DC. All three bands are from the 70's and their combined influences resulted in the whole "hair band era." I personally don't consider VH a hair/glam band, but they did influence ALL OF THEM, as did Kiss and AC/DC. So I demand either VH being removed or AC/DC and KISS being added. A great band from this era that often gets over looked is Krokus, if you haven't heard them, check em' out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningBolt Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I used to like a lot of these bands, but not so much anymore besides a song here and there. One of the ones I actually started to like more as I stopped liking the genre was WASP. They're still pretty hit and miss for me, but Blackie Lawless has a really good voice.

Val22 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Going to see Alice Cooper and Motley Crue tomorrow night. Can't wait.I'm sorry I missed the Kiss show. The review was good and they actually performed "Hide your heart" which is one of my all time favorite Kiss songs and Love Gun. Damn!Anyway, have always loved all the metal/hair bands from the 80's. I think it was a fun time for music and some really good bands came out of that time and are still rockin today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarBradley Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 WASP's most recent two albums are terrific, not hair metally, just hard rock.Whitesnake was blues based rock until 1987 when Coverdale decided to go glam for no good reason. Then when WS resurfaced in the late 2000's it was hard rock again - the last two WS albums have been great hard rock music.I like a song by XYZ, I'm sure they have other good stuff.Tangier was great, but I wouldn't consider most of their stuff to be hair metal - Tora Tora's in that same category too.
