80's hair metal...

[GK Punk]

who is your favorite Hair Metal band? I know everyone likes atleast one hair Metal band! Don't lie. :lol:

[Raven]

well, um this is kinda hard because I cant remeber there names.
mabey metalica.

[HorseTechie]

Yeah... Metallica. Back when they HAD hair. The coolness seemed to have left when they cut it all off. :dead:

And Guns n Roses too. Sweet stuff.

[Barkworm]

I like Guns'n Roses, Iron Maiden and I LOVE Metallica (unlike a lot of people say, they still rock imho). I also own a Bon Jovi and a Def Leppard album (do those count as hair metal?) but I got tired of them.

[Reznorite420]

Guns 'n Roses, Poison, Bon Jovi, old Metallica, and the Scorpions.

[Blades]

Bon Jovi, hands down. Even without the hair, I still like thier stuff :)

[Brodie]

Mega Deth

[Donatello007]

Yea metallica and Nirvana. Nirvana was around in the 80's, right?

[Barkworm]

Yea metallica and Nirvana. Nirvana was around in the 80's, right?
Yes, they came up in 1987 but they're definitely no hair metal!!!
They were the band that blew hair Metal away!!!!

[Donatello007]

meh i like em.

[HorseTechie]

Oh.. and I almost forgot! Aerosmith too. :D

[Loolaa]

Metallica and Guns n' Roses. And I still love 'em both. :D
But I stopped liking Skid Row a lo-ong time ago! :lol: *shudders*

...oh yeah Iron Maiden.. I loved them..!

Most of these bands don't really strike me as "hair-metal"... in fact, I know for a fact that Metallica, Megadeth, Nirvana and Guns N Roses would all be pissed beyond belief at being labelled "hair metal bands". I love all of those bands (GNR particularly), but "hair bands" usually lean towards the glam, lipstick-and-hairspray side of things. Motley Crue, Poison, Bon Jovi, Winger, Faster Pussycat, Cinderella... those are hair bands. And while Axl did wear hairspray and makeup in the "Welcome to the Jungle" video, he swore he'd never do that again, so GNR definitely doesn't qualify.

So out of those criteria, I'd say my favorite hair band would be Bon Jovi, followed closely by Poison. GNR is my favorite band of all time though.

[That Matt Guy]

Quiet Riot

Oh right, so 'hair metal' is kind of like glam metal with all the make up, hairspray and stuff eg: Motley Crue.
Not just being hairy.
Hmm, in that case... I'm not sure I actually *do* like a hair metal band...
unless the Manic Street Preachers are included? I choose them, then.

...though I do actually own a Motley Crue album. I bought it when I was young and foolish. And stupid... :goofygri:

[Leo656]

Hey, watch it. I own several Motley Crue albums. And Skid Row, for that matter. I'd take either band over Linkin Park or Disturbed any day.

[Loolaa]

:D I'm only messing. I think of them with fondness. :P

[Kid Icarus]

I'd take either band over Linkin Park or Disturbed any day. *nods*

Eairly Alice in Chains counts, right? :evilgrin: . What about Pearl Jam :-? . :lol: .

Glam bands were funny. Thankfully they're gone. *nods*. *sets up a tombstone for the hair-metal bands with a can of Aquanet on it*.

[Dr. Doom]

making up a genre called "hair" metal is completely retarded and whoever thought it up back in the 80's shoulda been shot. This puts bands together by hair length, not music. And bands like Metallica and Megadeth should not have utterly mindless bullcrap like Motley Crue or Poison or any of that horseshit even mentioned in the same paragraph as them, unless of course someone is acknowledging how horrible that glam **** is.

[That Matt Guy]

I don't know what the hell is wrong with you, Poison wrote the heaviest music ever.

[Dr. Doom]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


ooooh, that's rich.

[Barkworm]

Eairly Alice in Chains counts, right? :evilgrin:
How could I forget about this stuff? :o
*sings* I'm the queeeeeeeeeeen, queen of the rodeo! :evilgrin:

[Reznorite420]

Oh yeah, forgot Quet Riot and Motely Crue

[Reznorite420]

I'd take either band over Linkin Park or Disturbed any day.Old geezer :lol:

Oh, what am I saying? I like 'em all...

[Leo656]

Old geezer :lol:

Damn right! Back in my day, bands actually played their own instruments! AND wrote their own songs! And they didn't complain once about how their crooked record company execs ripped them off! And whenever they buckled under the stress of touring, banging groupies and doing mountains of cocaine, they didn't go to rehab, they just beat up some fans/photographers/journalists and drank enough cheap liquor to sterilize an elephant.

And back in MY day, MTV actually played VIDEOS! And we never complained when they played Bon Jovi! We were too busy shredding our jeans and sewing patches on our jackets and teasing our hair and matching the laces in our hightop sneakers to the bandanas we tied around our wrists to give a damn! And we didn't have a freak like Christina Aguilera runnin' around with the ass of her trousers cut out... we had David Lee Roth to do that! And HE could actually SING, although who wears more makeup is still sort of a mystery. And Flock of Seagulls? Duran Duran? Geniuses! Kids like Justin Timberlake wouldn't have a prayer back in my day... to get airplay back then, you hadda have long hair, be uglier'n sin, and be able to dance around in spandex while chicks threw their panties at you because even though you were an ugly rich cross-dresser, you were a famous ugly rich cross-dresser. Justin, go home and wait until your voice breaks before you try and claim that you're a performer.

And Eminem... what's with this guy? I tell ya, this reminds me of how back in the day, I hadda find one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night... so, luckily, I managed to find this little sweet shop on the edge of town. So, we get to the shop, and it's closed. Luckily, I was abe to sneak in through a back window, but inside, I find the shopkeeper, his son, and a great big white bengal tiger, right. Now, the tiger I was able to take care of with a can of mace, but the shopkeeper and his son was a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes..........

Uh... right... anyway... uh... so THAT's the way it was, and we LIKED IT!

[Reznorite420]

You saying David Draiman (Disturbed) doesn't play his own stuff?

Not that I'm complaining...I'm nowhere near a mainstream kind of guy. Yet another thing that proves you and I can get along just fine :wink:

It's the stuff you described that makes me wish I wasn't BORN in the 80s, but actually LIVED it...

Simply put, the reasons you stated above are the main reasons why I got hooked on NIN: Trent does mostly his own work (though there are some who argue that he can do a better job, I don't) if not all his own work: production, instrumentation, mixing, lyrics, singing, the whole nine yards...

Which is also the reason I gear more towards the 80s rock (Van Halen, anyone?)

High five! Let the 80s live on!

[That Matt Guy]

And we didn't have a freak like Christina Aguilera runnin' around with the ass of her trousers cut out... we had David Lee Roth to do that!

:lol: And with that statement, it's obvious the times were truly better... or is do I mean creepier?

[GK Punk]

Eairly Alice in Chains counts, right? :evilgrin:

*sings* I'm the queeeeeeeeeeen, queen of the rodeo! :evilgrin:


BWAHAHHAHAHHA You kick SOOOO MUch ass for making a reference to that song!!!! "So Cowboy you want to fight? I AINT NO WIMP! I scratch and bite!"

Megadeth, and Metallica are actually Thrash, not "hair" metal. Leo Covered the hair metal bit!

I really like Queensryche and Motley Crue, and Skid Row. (WE ARE THE YOUTH GONE WILD!*ahem*)

[Dr. Doom]

Who's to say what's what anymore?


























































DOOM IS!!!!

[GK Punk]

Well, in the 80's Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, anthrax, Voivod etc where all Kings of Thrash. They actually invented this style of metal.

(Go read the Aug 2003 issue of Guitar World for more info on thrash. it has a reeally good Article on it)

[Dr. Doom]

I'm incredibly familiar with thrash, thank you very much.

[GK Punk]

Well, most people now days aren't so how am I to know.

[Dr. Doom]

by reading my mind! Ooooooooooooooooo! :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy: :khappy:

Hmm, in that case... I'm not sure I actually *do* like a hair metal band...

Really.. wow. I guess I too am not a hair metal fan then. I did like Bon Jovi for his brief bit on the Young Gun movies. Before and after that, ugh. The rest listed do nothing for me. Especially Motley Crue. They remind me tooooo much of my disgusting ex-boyfriend, who worshiped them. :dead:

Oh wait... does Queensryche count then? I do like them. :D And Queen, what about Queen?

[Leo656]

Bon Jovi is godlike no matter what he does. Well... 7800 Farenheit was KINDA weak, but aside from that he has a flawless track record. Go check out the "These Days" album... it's about time somebody besides me did. (I dunno why that was their lowest-selling album ever, I thought it was one of the better Bon Jovi albums)

Motley Crue are decent, I don't count them as one of my favorites but they have some good songs, some great songs and a lot of decent to "eh" songs. "Kickstart My Heart" is still one of the greatest songs ever. EVER.

Poison - Gods, and that's all there is to say about that.

Queensrych I think came along a bit late to be "hair metal".

Queen were more of a force of nature than a "hair band". I don't think they really count either. They're just awesome is all.

[Psycrow]

"These Days" is their most emotional track by far. In fact, many Bon Jovi die-hards consider that their best album, even though sales say otherwise.

And Leo656, I'm so disappointed that you labelled Bon Jovi as "he". It's "they"!!! :D

Motley Crue are decent, I don't count them as one of my favorites but they have some good songs, some great songs and a lot of decent to "eh" songs. "Kickstart My Heart" is still one of the greatest songs ever. EVER.

Yes, "Kickstart My Heart" hauls ass. I like "Too Young To Fall In Love" and "Girls, Girls, Girls" as well.

Queen were more of a force of nature than a "hair band". I don't think they really count either. They're just awesome is all.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is probably one of the best songs ever.

My favourite hair metal band, in fact, my favourite band, is Bon Jovi. :D

[Leo656]

"Bon Jovi" can refer to either the band as a whole, or Jon (as in "Blaze of Glory" and "Destination Anywhere") by himself. Personally.... I only worship John (and to a lesser extent, Ritchie) and could care less about the others. :P

B'sides, the guy lives like a half hour away from me... we get to refer to him and his band however we please over here in Joisey.

And I swear, "These Days" is probably second ONLY to "Blaze of Glory" on my list of most-listened to Bon Jovi albums. I own all of them, except the live albums and the now apparently hard to find "Jon Bongiovi: The Power Station Years" album of pre-fame JB material. Hm, I think I'll rank the albums in order from most to least favorite:

1: Blaze of Glory
2: These Days
3: Slippery When Wet
4: Keep the Faith
5: New Jersey
6: CrossRoad
7: Destination Anywhere
8: Crush
9: Bon Jovi
10: Bounce
11: 7800 Farenheit

I'd also list Bon Jovi as one of my very favorite bands of all time.

[Barkworm]

I own "Crossroads" and the "Real Life"-single. Without a doubt they have some good songs but in general their music has too much "everything's nice"-feeling.
When I got really tired of Bon Jovi was when one of my best pals (who used to be a Bon Jovi-fanatic) always tried to convince me that they are the best band alive. For me who loves Pearl Jam, AiC and others this got very annoying soon. One time when he was at my home, I was listening to Metallica's black album, then played Bon Jovi's Crossroads (just to make him happy) and he said: "See? Isn't that a lot better than "Enter Sandman"?"
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :evil:

[Leo656]

LoL Gosh... Metallica or Bon Jovi.... that all boils down to my mood really... I couldn't put one in front of the other... :lol:

[Barkworm]

I think it was ridiculous to compare them because their music is way differrent from each other.
BTW I love Metallica! :D

[Dr. Doom]

I could tell.

[Leo656]

In high school I listened to Bon Jovi, Metallica, Offspring, and Guns N Roses almost equally, and almost nothing else. I had like a million CDs I listened to but nowhere near as much. That stuff all felt very powerful and personal to me back then.

Only someone from f*cking New Jersey would say Bon Jovi had a powerful message. Yeah, yeah... "Raise Your Hands", that sounds about right... :P

[That Matt Guy]

70s rock is so much cooler.

[Reznorite420]

70s rock is so much cooler.Amen.

[Raven]

I like the 60's more, only because thats when the beatles where around.
but the 70's got the greasted song ever free bird by lynered synered. :D (eh I think I spellted there name wrong)

[Psycrow]

Only someone from f*cking New Jersey would say Bon Jovi had a powerful message. Yeah, yeah... "Raise Your Hands", that sounds about right... :P

Haha, that song is pretty good too. :D

Who here remembers gettin' the "Slippery When Wet" album at a young age and keeping the beginning part of "Social Disease" with the volume down to low or even mute so their parents wouldn't think they were perverted or something?

*raises hand, from New York to Tokyo* :D

[HorseTechie]

Now this all has me wondering... just what is it that defines "heavy metal" rock music then, especially if what we think is hair band music, is not. :-?

[Dr. Doom]

It varies from person to person

[Reznorite420]

I like the 60's more, only because thats when the beatles where around.
but the 70's got the greasted song ever free bird by lynered synered. :D (eh I think I spellted there name wrong)1) Hang the Beatles

2) Lynrd Skynrd

[Dr. Doom]

Hang the Beatles?!

Well, that's it. Any once or respect I might've ever had for you just ceased to exist.

[Reznorite420]

Well, that's it. Any once or respect I might've ever had for you just ceased to exist.I'm sorry, am I breaking some unwritten law by not liking them?

[Dr. Doom]

Well ****, you can have your opinion, but you shouldn'ta put it that way if you didn't expect some recoil there, slappy.

[Leo656]

Actually Rez, I can say from experience that by saying the Beatles were anything less than Godlike, you are indeed breaking some unwritten law shared amongst damn near everyone who ever lived.

And guess what?












I THINK THE BEATLES SUCK TOO.

Seriously, it's like they're the ONE band that NOBODY is supposed to criticize... well, screw that, except for one or two songs nothing they ever did ever moved or spoke to me in any way. "She loves you, yeah yeah yeah..." or "I wanna hold your hand".... Nope, sorry, does nothing for me. "Cars are crashin' every night / I drink and drive, everything's in sight / I make the fire but I miss the firefight / I hit the bullseye every time"...... that stuff actually means something to me.

Plus I automatically hate every band whose audience is or ever was mostly female. :P

Other bands/singers I don't like, just to get it out of the way before anyone asks:

Grateful Dead
Hall and Oates
Linkin Park
Backstreet Boys
N Sync
The Eagles
Eminem
50 Cent
D12
just about any rap/hip hop/RnB performers since 1991 except Naughty By Nature

There's a bunch more, I just can't think of them now. I probably hate the Dead more than any group who ever lived, though, and Eminem is like right below that.

[Reznorite420]

Well sh**, you can have your opinion, but you shouldn'ta put it that way if you didn't expect some recoil there, slappy.Can somebody say "paradox"?

[Reznorite420]

Actually Rez, I can say from experience that by saying the Beatles were anything less than Godlike, you are indeed breaking some unwritten law shared amongst damn near everyone who ever lived.

Uhhh, actually, I'd just like to know your reasons, simple as they may be. Nothing more :) I'm not here to preach anything, and if I were, I sure as hell wouldn't be talking to Leo as civily as I am right now :wink:

[Leo656]

The Grateful Dead I despise because for one, I have been forced to hear them every day since birth, and I never liked them much to start with. For two, they just lack anything resembling talent. I mean, I know that dirty hippies getting together and getting so completely obliterated on drugs that they can't even remember what song they were playing from one minute to the next was all part of the times, but I thankfully missed that whole time and I have no desire to hear the off-key, out-of-tune caterwauling of the Grateful Dead ever again.

Linkin Park just annoy me to death because a lot of their stuff just sounds too similar, and all their "angst" just seems like more MTV pre-packaged nonsense. When I see them, I imagine a group of old, fat record execs going "Hmm, we should make a group like the Backstreet Boys, and they'll be good-looking but DARK and ANGRY". It may not have actually happened that way, but I can't see or hear them without thinking that.

And The Eagles I don't *hate*, they just never impressed me. I mean, I never thought "Hotel California" was *that* good a song, and yet every day, it's on the radio SOMEwhere...

And before anyone asks, it should be pretty obvious to most people why I hate Eminem.

[That Matt Guy]

Styx beats the crap out of all of these bands.

[Raven]

:roll: um ok, but i grew up with the beatles all my life. its worthless to fight about which band is better or whatever, but yes the beatles are not godlike, but music wise yes, well nirvana wouldnt be the same with out them.
and many other bands, the beatles started many new things, and durning there time, and what I believe still are the best.

but rez saying the beatles should be hung is a huge insult not only to me but any one that likes the beatles.
considering john was killed by some one that thought he was "john lennon"
and george died of if I remeber right heart problems, or cancer.
so rez you can see how its a insult(hope you do) I cant think how to word must of what im saying. so I hope that made some sort of sence?

[Leo656]

Well, I don't go so far as to wish death on people, but I do think the Beatles suck.

As for Eminem, I wouldn't mind killing him but I wouldn't really wish death on him otherwise.

[Raven]

thats ok to think they suck, idnt mind that, but just dont make insults about them or wish them to die.

[That Matt Guy]

I also don't care for the Beatles. Thank god divine forces have already gotten rid of two of them.

[GK Punk]

I hate the beatles too.. I think John Lennon was a great song writer, I just didn't like the way the rest of the band played his songs :lol:

When I say Hair Metal (This is to HT) I mean any of the bands from the 80s that did their hair poofy and wore make up, and lots of leather. So Early 80's arrowsmith, Poison, Warrant, bands like that. Queensryche counts, because of their earlier videos, they looked like poison basically!

Although it's their work from the 90's that I really like, Empire and anything after that.

Hmm.. okay. But lemme rephrase my question. It was actually something another one of my friends had wondered about. And sense I dunno, I thought to bounce it off you guys.

If Hair Metal has it's defintions and origins, then where does heavy metal music origiante from? Who started this trend in music, and what makes it to be as that (as opposed to Hair Metal, Industrial, Alternative, modern...)?

:-?

[GK Punk]

Well as best I know, Metal Started in the 70s, with bands like Led Zepplin, I'm not really sure if it was caleld metal back then, or if the name came from the 80s... When punk showed up, several bands such as Motorhead, Megadeth, etc took the Punk mentallity of playing, and mixed it with the 70's style of Metal (Or hard rock, whatever) And That is what the modern incarnation of the term "Metal" is based on.

If that made no sense, I'm sorry but I'm hopped up on Vicodin :goofygri:

[That Matt Guy]

Origin of the term "Heavy Metal" http://lists.village.virginia.edu/lists_archive/sixties-l/0021.html

[GK Punk]

Origin of the term "Heavy Metal" http://lists.village.virginia.edu/lists_archive/sixties-l/0021.html Apparantly the word originated in 1969 with Jimi Hendrix.

Oh yeah,that's right! I totally forgot about it

Those songs don't say McCartney/Lennon for no reason.

Well if that's the case, "hair metal" blows ass.

[Reznorite420]

thats ok to think they suck, idnt mind that, but just dont make insults about them or wish them to die.Ever since I started saying the word "paradox" 9 times an hour or more, I've been encountering the definition of it just as many times, and what MP said here is an example.

You say you have no objection to my mere opinion about something. Fine. I'm game. But when you imperatively (sp?) tell me not make insults about them, it's as though you just cancelled out what you said previously. If I want to say "Hang the Beatles", there's nothing keeping me from doing so. And if it offends a few people here and there, TS. There're probably a few people on here that would say "Hang Trent Reznor" whenver I mention Nine Inch Nails. Considering the wide variety of musical tastes in the world, anybody has every right to say so.

And before anybody decides to cite evidence via quotes of me in the past against me, know this: I will admit that I have considered rap despicable in previous posts, but that was before moving in with three roommates who are combination rap/rock listeners (before I used to think that to say one liked both rap and rock is like saying one is both a Democrat and a Republican, not so now). The first few days of living with them I felt like I was in Hell, but after actually listening to the stuff they play all the time, I actually find some of it quite...euphonic. Don't get me wrong; I'm not going to go out and start buying rap and R&B CDs just yet, but I WILL start enjoying myself more around the people I'm somewhat forced to hang around with.

Oh, and MP, you say that you grew up listening to the Beatles, which is why you adore them so much. Well, don't forget that one can use the exact same excuse for ABHORRING them (*coughMEcough*) ;)

see how easy that was only one sentance, not 3 pharagraghs. :P
