I absolutely love hair metal. I listened to it a lot when I was a teenager in the 90's! Please let's give it up for...

Faster Pussycat
L.A.Guns
Warrant
Bon Jovi
Skid Row
Cinderella
Hanoi Rocks
Stryper

Feel free to add to the list. Anyone still listen to these bands today?

oh hell yeah! love hair metal. i saw Cinderella back in the day... they lowered the lead singer and his white piano from the ceiling for "don't know what you got til it's gone", heh. i also saw poison and white lion.

i love cinderella! tom keifer is the man. white lion were cool too! poison's first 3 albums are the bomb!

Slaughter: Fly To The Angels


Skid Row: I Remember You and a few like Quicksand Jesus off their second release were/are tight

and the granddaddy ballad of th e hairbands Home Sweet Home by the Crue

Stryper
Motley Crue
Bon Jovi
Ratt

God, so many.

The ones I didn't like were Skid Row, and Warrant.

Warren DeMartini keeps getting better as a guitar player. That's why the RATT album in 2009 will be worth checking. Crue did a great job on "Saints Of LA" exactly what Motley should sounds like. Nikki's book was a good read.

both Skid Row albums rock but the second really was the shit! Slaughre were cool too.

Lets's also not forget Guns n' Roses although I still don't really think of them as hair metal. they were in a class by themselves!

Nice you really know your stuff!

dancerella said:

Wait RATT album is set for Jan 2010.

Now I know my stuff

LA Guns with Phil and Tracii. Though the others were cool, the original best.

1. Poison
2. Bon Jovi
3. Motley Crue
4. Cinderella
5. Warrant

I also loved DEF LEPPARD, but i dont consider them "Hair Metal"
Just awsome rockers!

realm said:

that band line up was perfect. where the hell is kelly nickels??

Motley Crue - "Without You" & the lovably cheesy video

Motley Crue: "Home Sweet Home" That fool had on biker shorts, a blazer & no shirt

Guns 'N Roses: "November Rain"

BTW: The nine Izzy Stradlin solo albums are excellent. Way underrated songwriter in the GNR pack.

Izzy Stradlin & the Ju Ju Hounds
117°
Ride On
River
On Down the Road
Like a Dog
Miami
Fire, the acoustic album
Concrete

My song!!!

dancerella said:

Not sure about anyone but Phil and Tracii. I believe also Phil still has the original drummer in his version of LA Guns? The guy that was in WASP. I've followed Tracii Guns. He did a project with Nikki Sixx called Brides of Destruction.



Love Nikki Sixx's "Heroin Diaries" cd and book:



Also being a Prince fan I found the Denise Matthews/Vanity stuff interesting. Nice to see they both got off the junk.

I was blasting Warrant the other day!! Uncle Tom's Cabin!!

Gayest man in metal..



Rob Halford is a ROCK GOD...

I remember some demos/rehearsals of Extreme back in the day and the tapes sold me on them being a solid funk/rock band.



too bad they were pigeoned holed by "More than Words"

I didn't like Skids as a matter of fact thought Sebastian Bach was a total ass on the vh1 supergroup show. Then I seen him live and got it. It totally changed my opinion about the guy. He is 110% about playing live, all about his fans. I couldn't help but love the energy and enthusiasm he brings to the stage.

QUEENSRYCHE
