    List your favorite 80s Hair Bands!

    Mine would probably be

    Motley Crue
    Cinderella
    Ratt
    Quiet Riot
    Twisted Sister
    Dio

    I've seen all these bands live. Some of the best times of my life were back then. Geting high, doing some head banging, and then getting laid in the back seat of your car in your GF's driveway.

      Either you really liked the Crue or you weren't a big fan of the hair band era.

            I liked a lot of them, but only one can be your favorite.

                  I love a lot of the bands on your list, especially Def Leoppard (who I'm listening to now: Photograph), The Cult, GNR, Dokken, Tesla.

                  I never much liked Poison, maybe because they were so popular and because the radio stations overplayed 'Talk Dirty to Me'. That was probably my most hated song of all time.

                      I guess that depends on what you consider Galm Metal. A lot of people would put Kiss and VH, both extremely good bands, in that category, even though both were established well before the early 80s. But those bands definitely influenced the hair bands.

                        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                          glam was similar to hair metal, but actually began in the 70's with New York City Dolls, David Bowie, etc. and hair metal was kind of an extension of that...

                          Motley Crue remains one of my favorite bands today, hair, leather, pop metal whatever classification...they were just amazing..."Shout At The Devil" still sounds as good and fresh today as it did in the mid-80's (minor production flaws aside).

                            I see some more bands in there I neglected to mention, including Great White, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, and Warrant. Maybe the make-up was over the top, but these guys knew how to put on a great show. Going to the shows back then was fun, and that's what life should be about.

                              fuck yeah, there were some amazing fucking shows back then:
                              Dio, KISS, WASP, Ozzy, Crue, Poison, etc. spent million on great shows, lighting, effects, etc. now it's all just fucking shoegazers bitching about how much money they're making and they are still depressed...

                                You are right. Glam proceded Hair, but they were fairly similar.

                                RE: Motley Crue. How can you NOT like a band in which half of the members became pornstars in the 90s.

                                They always seemed to get the hottest chicks too, playmates usually. And those guys were UGLY AS FUCK. Tommy Lee's body is nothing but one big fat tatoo with a bunch of piercings sticking thru it.

                                    Back then MTV was actually worth watching. Today it's nothing but Eminem and hip hop.

                                      I've seen all these bands live. Some of the best times of my life were back then. Geting high, doing some head banging, and then getting laid in the back seat of your car in your GF's driveway.
                                      I dont know a lot but the ratts are good though.

                                        BTW, anyone ever heard of the band Santers? They never made it really Big. Rick Emitt of Triumph discovered them. They were a Canadian trio who produced some really good stuff. "Can't Shake You" was one of my favorite tunes of the 80s.

                                          Another warm up band in the early-mid-80s which I liked -- Y&T. "Summertime Girls" Anyone remember them? I saw them warm up for Foghat back in 1983 in Detroit.

                                                  we did an opposite Goo Goo Dolls, they started as a thrash band and we ended up as one ;-)

                                                    Cool! What instrument did you play?

                                                    I was in a few garage bands back then but none of them ever made it very far out of the garage. LOL. I was the singer/songwriter/acoustic guitar Jim Morrison type poet.

                                                    You probably know the kind of garage bands I'm talking about. They say they're gonna finance their equipment by selling weed but they end up smoking it all when they should have been practicing.

                                                    Those were fun days.

                                                      Another great "hair" band from the 80's who sort of disappeared (in the States anyways) was Disneyland After Dark, who got sued by Disney Corp and changed their name to D.A.D. (same thing, just with initials)

                                                      they had great songs called "Rim of Hell", "Sleepin' My Day Away" and "I'm In Love With A Siamese Twin"

                                                        I played bass and did vocals
                                                        it was funny because that particular band, Innocent Rage, did ok on the local circuit (fuck, we were from Wyoming and full time high school students). We started out as a metal coverband and I remember the last night we did the Motley tour, we did our cover of Shout At the Devil and Vince came out to finish the song with me...the funny thing about it..I didn't know a lot of the real lyrics, just how they "sounded" (the original "Shout At The Devil" album didn't come with lyrics) and I had been singing a few wrong words...

                                                        AFter that though we moved more of a WASP ripoffish band and got heavier, doing a lot of Slayer and Venom covers.

                                                        The bands I was in before that one, The Corpse Phuckers and Bloody Warpigs From Hell were straight up thrash/speed metal bands

                                                        I sort of did a little of everything

                                                        I even stood in with my dad's country band (he and a small group of friends who played local cowboy bars for beer money for shits and giggles on the weekends) playing bass and the bar owner wouldn't let me off stage because I was underage...
