Members Ovid9 Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 I hate hair metal. I guess maybe some early Ratt, random songs here and there. What pure utter crap for the most part imo. I would say I see the appeal...but no, I don't. To each his own though. I probably like plenty of music that you all can't figure out why anyone does.

Members Coopster Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hair metal was awesome! My perceptions of some of them have changed over the years. Still love: Cinderella Extreme Skid Row Whitesnake Badlands Mr. Big Def Leppard Like from time to time: Dokken Poison Kiss Scorps Crue Have a hard time listening to: Ratt Warrant Many others that I loved back in the day And there's so many bands that I don't really consider "hair" that got lumped in with the crowd by default that I still love and listen to like VH and Ozzy.

Members K-Bizzle Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 I can sometimes listen to some of it for a little bit. Overall its probably the genre I hate the most honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ComOp Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Seems like most people here in this thread consider any metal recorded between 1975 and 1995 as hair metal There are really only a few metal bands from the '80s that just didn't work for me... Motley Crue, Poison, Skid Row, Cinderella and Slaughter/V V Invasion being the stand out {censored} bands I couldn't get into at all. The rest of the glam/pop metal/hair bands were decent/listenable. I can remember talking {censored} about bands like Bon Jovi and Ratt as a young teen, but over the years I have grown to like a few of the hits from those bands. I think for those of us who grew up during those years those bands were less about the horribly dated trends in fashion and more about the actual music.

Members stompboxfreak72 Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 When I wa a kid hair metal WAS METAL. You had your choice of listening to Wham, MJ, Cindi Lauper, Tears for Fears, etc or listening to metal. By Todays standards hair metal is not metal. Put it in context though and it changes the entire playing field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Anomaly Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 My faves are already listed, plus I'll add: Blue MurderBad English (although that's more pop hard rock)Hardline One more mention for Winger, I just saw them again back in August, kicked all kinds of ass. I have to be in the mood for it, but it's still good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ovid9 Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 When I wa a kid hair metal WAS the popular METAL.

Put it in context though and it changes the entire playing field. I see what you're saying man, but there was LOTS of metal in the 80s that was NOT hair metal. It just wasn't nearly as popular. I'm a hater though, so I try not to rag too much. I just couldn't let it slide there was only "hair metal" or "pop." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Coopster Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yeah, you had Priest (who was trying desperately to become hair metal there for a while), Maiden (who has always been and ever shall be m/ m/ ) and Motorhead (who pretty much just scared the {censored} out of me) and the upstart thrash bands starting to emerge. There was metal but it was pretty thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IM and priest were just "metal". a perfect formula of what metal should be.. No sub genre BS.. just METAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hapless Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 I like quite a bit of it. It's what I grew up on, before I discovered Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and later, Pantera. As cheesy as the songs usually were, there's usually some excellent, challenging guitar stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
