**GK Punk** · 08-26-2003, 12:51 AM

*Raven* · 08-26-2003, 07:37 AM

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

**HorseTechie** · 08-26-2003, 08:23 AM

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

And Guns n Roses too. Sweet stuff.

**Barkworm** · 08-26-2003, 09:17 AM

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~~ · 08-26-2003, 09:21 AM

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

Blades · 08-26-2003, 09:32 AM

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

Yes, they came up in 1987 but they're definitely no hair metal!!!
They were the band that blew hair Metal away!!!!

Donatello007 · 08-26-2003, 11:23 AM

meh i like em.

**HorseTechie** · 08-26-2003, 11:23 AM

Oh.. and I almost forgot! Aerosmith too.

Loolaa · 08-26-2003, 11:46 AM

Metallica and Guns n' Roses. And I still love 'em both.

But I stopped liking Skid Row a lo-ong time ago!

*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.

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...

~~Leo656~~ · 08-26-2003, 02:35 PM

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 · 08-26-2003, 02:42 PM

I'm only messing. I think of them with fondness.

Eairly Alice in Chains counts, right?

. What about Pearl Jam

.

.

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* · 08-26-2003, 03:32 PM

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* · 08-26-2003, 03:42 PM

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