Yes, i'm on a big hair metal kick lately and what?!

Who would you say were the worst of that genre?

I would like to nominate a band called Nitro as the ultimate worst band ever! Their claim to fame was that the lead singer "Jim Gillette" could reach notes so high that he would break glass on stage. The guitarist "Michael Angelo also had a 4 neck guitar and their debut album OFR which stands for "out fucking Rageous" was absolute shite!

Who would you like to nominate?

Slaughter. I hate hate HATE the lead singer's voice. Fly to the Angels makes me want to .

Hell yeah his voice was the pits and I can't believe I had their CD back in the day. What was I thinkking? They were never a favorite of mine though.

I remember slaughter. My older bro loved that hair metal shit.

I found this on cassette a few weeks back. It is really shit



I have no idea who there are? Called "drive, she said". What a dumb name.

Gotta dig thoase middle 8's though, which must be followed by a Van Halen clone guitar solo. Rock on.....

U know Greenday etc will be as dated as these bands in 15 years time. Both have formula's and both have been repeated and watered down into crap!

The first slaghter album was good.

winger! especially when he and poor lita ford did 'you're sexin' me'.

Anxiety said:

Ah, Lita Ford - yegads, did I have a thing for her when this album came out.



What can I say? I was young and I really didn't know any better...

lita ford was cool - she was a runaway, so i have to give her at least a LITTLE love. but that duet with winger was just vomitocious.

The eighties coughed up a lot of garish, ghastly nonsense, but I don't think things ever got much worse than this:



Some people are just born with a complete inability to be embarrassed, I guess.

I always thought Cherry Bomb was a great glam/punk/pop/whatever song - and I don't begrudge her move into pop-metal. She had to make a living like everybody else...

damosuzuki said:

well, certainly. didn't mean i had to like it, though.

Anxiety said:

Oh, of course not - any sensible person would be revolted. Mind you, it's not like the Runaways were paragons of respectability and artistry. You couldn't exactly say it was like Dylan going electric...

Poison ..anyone who says otherwise obviously never seen them attempt to perform live...

Axchi696 said:

OK, not exactly medal here, but there's nothing that GWAR or Krokus could have coughed up that couldn've been more disturbing as these guys.
