80's/90's Hair Metal Bands

[Tyrone Biggums]

Been giving my old vinyls the dust off and a play and i must say some of the songs still stand up well today.

Warrant : Cherry Pie
Motley Crue: Dr FeelGood, Kick Start My Heart
Poison : Nothing But a Good Time
Van Halen : Everything!!!

Then the obligatory Gunners and Def Leppard tunes.

Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister probably haven't stood up so well though.

Surely you can't have much bigger 80s rock hair than Bon Jovi, or Whitesnake?

Perms

Van Halen=pre DLR leaving anyway.

no WASP then or Ratt!

 

[Marc]

Extreme - Pornograffiti

Classic album and one I listen too all the time!

In my biased opinion Van Halen were so far better with Sammy than David



Sammy Hagar

Haha i have got both of those but they were both a bir girlier than the other bands.

I think White Snake must have influenced Chad Kroger and for that i cannot forgive them

 

[Marc]

Skid Row....YEAH!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Before someone says anything ok i forgot cinderalla too!

 

[bigc]

tyrone...how can't you love Jump and Hot for Teacher?

 

[Marc]

Bon Jovi back in the day:

Our parents hated it but Hair metal bands were armless enough

i do love em, Panama too.

It's just i like Dreams, Why Can't This Be Love better i guess.

 

[bigc]

fair enough.

but post 5150, the band went quite downhill

Panama is awesome...I love Dave's spoken bit towards the end.

 

[Frutos]

Bon Jovi are my favourite band ever, and I got to see them live for the first time this past June.

The energy and enthusiasm they put into their show would put many younger bands to shame, and they are all great musicians in their own right, particularly Richie Sambora (the lead guitarist), who I would more than happily pay to watch if he ever did a solo tour.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

He's just a jiggalo

 

[Frutos]

He's just a jiggalo

Can't go wrong with Diamond Dave.

 

[bigc]

too right!

Bonfire, Little Angels and not forgeting the much maligned Europe.

Bonfire, Little Angels and not forgeting the much maligned Europe.

Europe were ok.

Europe were to 80's hair metal as what Ah-Ha were to Pop.

One big hit single(+ Carrie did ok) world wide and not much else but sold millions in the euro markets over the years.
