PrintableAh the wonderful 80's. GnR, Van Halen, Aerosmith and Bon Jovi (who are more pop-rock than metal) were all cool, with Guns N' Roses being the best of the lot. | |

NWF said: I had my share of hard times because, here you have this brother who's into Hair Metal and New Wave, and the other guys just weren't into it.
But funnily enough, I asked this one white kid about what kind of music he liked. I told him that I was into Motley Crue and Poison and stuff. But he said that he only liked Motley Crue, and everything else was either Hip-Hop or R&B. So what does that mean? Another interesting thing I wanna point out is that I think some of the Black kids I knew dabbled into Hard Rock & Metal around the time Beavis & Butt-head came out. I guess that cartoon made Hard Rock appealing to the urban crowds because of the sucess of the whos. But I could be wrong. Anyways, No matter what color you are, if you look back at Hair Metal now, it's just downright embarrassing.  Hey, u should have been there! Man, sometimes from the back, u couldn't tell the difference between the guys and the girls. The way some of these guys dressed with the heels and shit. Their hair would be plastered with AquaNet exactly like the girls and a lot of them wore make-up. But, the girls dug that shit. The more girlish u looked, the more girls u got. Although, I never wore heels and makeup, just me being a brother with the hair that played guitar in rock bands, I was in like flyn when it came to the girls. Similar to Slash. You could never see Saul's face, but he was also popular with girls, for the same reasons as mine. And trust me, everyone knew Saul was black. It was no secret.

Yeah, it was a different time, no doubt about it. They have 80's tribute bands out here and at The Viper Room every Monday night, the place is packed. The bands play everything from hair metal days. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

CalhounSq said: Is it about a sound or just about the hair? Chris Cornell got a haircut years ago didn't he?  When I saw this thread he came to mind but I couldn't remember the name of the band. And I only remember it now because you said "sound". (Soundgarden!)  He was/is a cutie.
dancerella said: But then again, didn't RUN DMC incorporate a lot or Metal in their sound Weren't Public Enemy and Anthrax into each others music? Didn't Anthrax cover "Bring the Noise?" Oh, and there's a rap song out now that samples "Crazy Train". (The only reason I know this song is because it's Mike Piazza's at-bat song.  ) | |

Good grief! This thread's got me conjuring more hair metal memories than I thought possible....

I dug Stryper's point, but never got their stuff. When it came to Christian '80s & '90s rock, I was into Petra, WhiteHeart, Jet Circus and Idol Cure. Oooh, Idol Cure!!!  | |

I never knew I was in.
This subject of "hair bands" has come up before, just never tied to being black. I may be a more progressive music listener at heart but i'm also a sucker for a good pop tune.

 Stryper, Ratt, Poison, Motley Crue, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Dokken, Twisted Sister, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, AC/DC...damn I could go on and on (and yes, all those weren't "hair" metal, I'm aware). I can tell you where I was, what I was doing, and what song I first took to off each album at the time they came out. A little known fact about me.
As a matter of fact, I was alienated by being called a white boy at times. They got over it when I quickly answered with a huge "fuck u" and a quick lesson in the roots and depth of rap, hip hop, r&b, gospel, jazz, and funk. I just love music with no boundaries. They immediately got the picture. Who says I have to be green to stand in the grass? I am MrVictor.... | |

Hair metal was also all about spandex and makeup which I don't think Metallica ever wore so that excludes them from this thread.
In college one of my roommates used to play Def Leppard's 'Hysteria' every single freakin' day and it drove me crazy. If I could have blown up his cassette I would. But after hearing it for the 200th time I strangely began to like it. So much so that a few years later I eventually bought Def Leppard's greatest hits. I also have the best of Guns 'N' Roses, but that's the extent of my hair metal collection. Outside of a few singles here and there (Ratt's "Round And Round", White Lion's "Wait", Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly", etc.) I could never really get into it. | |
