sweetness Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Ive never been a big glam rock fan, but I just saw Poison and they put on a great fucking show. But it was wierd to see them in casual, not gay clothes, actually it was really cool. As a hardcore GNR fan its wierd to enjoy a Poison concert, but these guys really do rock, especially CC I know what most of you guys probably think about Poison, but has anybody else seen them and thought they were pretty good?

I only consider things like David Bowie, T. Rex, Slade, Mott the Hoople, Gary Glitter and maybe New York Dolls to be Glam. Hair Metal bands like Poison did the whole dress up thing, but they had almost nothing in common with Glam Rock musically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnan Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Poison are... Cheesy. Cheesy can be good. It's all about having a fucking party and that's what they do well, feelgood music all the way. And they ain't glam rock. Seeing as sweetness has just posted a picture asking why they're not glam, glam rock/glam is a completely different genre popularized in Britain in the early 1970's, it consists of artists/bands like:David BowieRoxy Music SladeT. RexGary GlitterAs for the US: The New York Dolls, who are considered glam whether they sounded like it or not (Or fucking gay hooray for tolerance!s as you said).Hair metal is entirely different, and the only hair band that bears resemblance and/or is clearly influenced by Glam rockers is Def Leppard.

adnan Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Speaking of glam and Bowie, I found this song, "I'm Afraid of Americans", but can't find which album it's on, could you help me with that? AMG gives me a bunch of albums, but I'm not sure which one is was first released on...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wniGFm_jgRI...avid%20bowie%20Not exactly conventional Bowie either...

I had a good time watching them play.And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.Bands like Poison aren't trying to fool you or anything, they were in it for the money from the start. It gives them a sort of purity. I just don't like the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lame ass security Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I saw Poison twice, in '88 and in '90 and they did put on a good show each time. Not exactly intense but fun nonetheless. I'm also a glam fan and since the topic has sort of veered in that direction, has anyone seen a movie called Velvet Goldmine? It's loosely based on a fictional David Bowie-esque character. Great music with very strong performances from the actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poison are fun, and that's the most important thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I've always been partial to the original band. 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' album.

olga Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I just saw Poison and Cinderella a couple of weeks ago. I went mostly because I got free tickets in my e-mail, but it was alright. Hair metal to the max, baby! Neither bands are really ones I like a lot, but I had a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Thanks. Is the rest of the album so industrialized?I haven't gone deeply into Bowie's work (it's on the fucking to-do list with a heap of other shit) but he was definitely screwing around with industrial sounding stuff for a while. The Hearts Filthy Lesson is one of my fav Bowie tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them open for David Lee Roth in 88, then headlining in 1991. They put on a good show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
