because there's a thread for them already :eng101:

No flaming, except from Eccles because I'd expect no less from the man.

[ultimaterocker]

the best glam rock band was motley crue. and they weren't very good.

[-Listy-]

Everyone has to love Twisted Sister :amaze:

Motley crue..i liked Kickstart my heart, havent heard much else.

Wouldnt Kiss qualify as a glam band? :confused: dunno.

[Separate]

Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Kiss, Def Leppard... They're a yes for me. Else than that, Im not a big fan.

[Brew]

Twisted Sister are cool.
Trash-era Alice Cooper blows goats, that part of his career really sucks.
I saw The Dogs D'Amour open for Alice in 2002, they sucked.
I also saw The Renegade Playboys open for Dragonforce last year, they sucked and looked like they were trying really hard to be cool.

[Jon]

I saw The Dogs D'Amour open for Alice in 2002, they sucked.
You suck. They ownnn

[Brew]

You suck. They ownnn
They suck, I own.

They're weren't suited for the NEC at all.

[IAJP]

Glam, on the most part is poo.
The more it tries to be inventive, the more it goes back on itself.
Hanoi Rocks being at least a decent Glam Rock band, and some others, Motley Crue, for example, being an absolute abysmal piece of poo.

[Jon]

At least they were decadent poo :mad:

[IAJP]

Does anyone else think Michael Monroe looks like a Sparrow?
:confused:

[misunderstood]

I like Motley Crue. I read their autobiography, "The Dirt"..some crazy stuff in there...I'm actually looking forward to the film now. Anyway, I got tickets for one of the September shows...should be a good show.

[superpeer]

Trash era? Why would discuss an era when someone is garbage?

[Bartender]

Anyone who hasn't sung along with a certain Warrant song hasn't really lived.

And as a Wildhearts fan, I'm kind of obliged to like the Dogs D'Amour (along with Tyla and any associated projects), but I don't actually own anything by them.

[maggot4875]

the only glam band i like is motley crue,all the rest have ****ty vocals and sound liek girls

[Mr. Ron]

Oh man.....

[ClassicRocker1330]

WHITESNAKE!!!!!!!! hey i like em

[EightMilesHigh]

Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, David Bowie, New York Dolls, Queen, Twisted Sister, Lou Reed (to an extent)...ah yes, glam is good.

[Bryan_S]

I like Motley Crue

[Earache]

ewww.. glam

*shivers in fear*

[Walrus Gumboot]

I thought glam was Queen, David Bowie, Elton John, etc.

[McMurphy]

Liberace \m/ :angry:

[sakic73]

Good call on Warrant!!

[BillCosby]

Hanoi Rocks, rocks, nigga

[magicbus]

This seems more like a hair metal thread than glam...

I like Twisted Sister though.

And David Bowie and Queen rule if we're talking glam stuff.

[blue3]

I'm a fan of Hanoi Rocks, Skid Row and Motley Crue

[Kingofdudes]

David Bowie > this thread

[EightMilesHigh]

The Rolling Stones were glam to an extent, during the seventies.

[EightMilesHigh]

David Bowie > us all

Fix'd.

[Six Foot Revolver]

David Bowie > this thread
This is true. I bought The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars yesterday :thumb:

[rockard]

I'm really into Hanoi Rocks at the time so in my opinion they are the best glam band. But I don't like their new CD.

Guns N' Roses is NOT glam rock. I just wanted to add that...hehe

[kev_trb1006]

Bon Jovi were my favs!! Motley Crue rocked royally too. Weren't Aerosmith glam rock?

[Arucard]

Bon Jovi rule. 'You Give Love A Bad Name' has got to be one of the best glam songs ever.

[magicbus]

This is true. I bought The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars yesterday :thumb:

Doesn't it rule?!!?!

["5150"]

Trash era? Why would discuss an era when someone is garbage?

Go away. :smash: Didn't you read what the threadstarter said? NO flaming. I'm surprised that it's coming from someone who's a mod too.

I'll admit that there was alot of crap around in this era, but the highlights for me were, Motley Crue (most notably the albums Shout At The Devil, Dr. Feelgood and their self titled album), Van Halen (most of their material is excellent. Yes including Hagar era), Skid Row, Warrant, Hanoi Rocks and Posion (to some extent).

[ImTheFloor]

Liberace rocked my ***, there is nothing more rocking than a man in a chinchilla coat playing Chopsticks.

[Jon]

I just downloaded the first 4 Skid Row albums. God they rocked.

*mumbles something about Kurt Cobain*

I'm seeing Faster Pussycat this time next week, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[ultimaterocker]

Bon Jovi were my favs!! Motley Crue rocked royally too. Weren't Aerosmith glam rock?
no way! and anyone who consideres them so is retarded. They are a tough band to class though they range all the way from hard rock to pop.

[Jonney Blazes V1]

You've missed out most of the orignal glam rock bands, you;v emainly only included the 80's glam rock movement..People like Queen, T-Rex, David Bowie (During the Ziggy Stardust period) were all very influentail glam rock bands during the 70's..I love Alice Cooper perosnally, one of my favorite artists of all time. Queen of course are amazing!! Mott The Hoople were also great at one point, a very underrated band...Mud, Iggy Pop, Suade are also decent bands but not my favorites!

[Jon]

I misspelt the title, it was supposed to be The Glam/Hair Metal Thread

If you want to talk about Bowie or T Rex get your own thread.

But the Dolls own, they can stay.

[Dave de Sylvia]

The Crue are the fourth greatest band of all time. Considering half the catalogue consists of utter **** that's quite an achievement. Seeing them next month :D God Bless the Crue.

[Leper]

Bon Jovi and Van Halen IMO are the kings of the glam/hair metal era.

[evilmenhavenosongs]

Can't we let T.Rex in a little bit? :( Sad face.

I don't think you can not like Motley Crue or Twisted Sister really. :lol:

DISCLAIMER: The above was a massive generalisation to put forward my point of veiw on the bands. I do not need two word posts saying "I don't."

Thank you. *bows and leaves*

[highwaychild377]

hair metal is awesome, and motley crue is touring this summer. :thumb: also, is ozzy considered hair metal? i dont care, but thats what some black/death metalheads have told me. (personally i hate black metal, death metal, gore metal, etc. its all about power metal and glam/hair metal (though many would disagree). i dont care. george lynch forever!

[highwaychild377]

i shall definitly be back to this thread. i bid you all a good night :chug:

[EightMilesHigh]

How can someone not like "We're Not Gonna Take It?" :lol::lol::lol:


Also, Alice Cooper is one of my favorites (check out "Feed My Frankenstein" ). I hardly see him mentioned here, though. I made a thread about him a while back, but it barely got noticed.

[ATM]

Alice Cooper is great. My favorite song by him is Welcome To My Nightmare.

[Leper]

my favourite Alice Cooper song is Hello, Hooray. Kind of different from his usual sound, but i love it.

[Jon]

Um, if my memory is correst, Nikki played bass, and Mick played guitar.

[blue3]

Um, if my memory is correst, Nikki played bass, and Mick played guitar.Yeah, you're right

[Leper]

[x_Evilized_x]

I like Def Leppard and Twisted Sister,..but thats all.

[blue3]

Vocals - Michael Monroe
Lead - Eddie Van Halen

GNR is in it and they're not really glam, but oh well.

Rythm: Nikki Sixx
Bass: Mick Mars
Drums: Tommy Lee

Mick Mars is the guitarist and Nikki Sixx the bassist.

Anyways I like Skid Row the most out of these bands here although I don't consider them glam metal and Twisted Sister I think isn't really glam metal eather but they kick some ***. Steelheart is a pretty good glam band.
Here's my dream lineup.
Vocals: Sebastian Bach/Dee Snider
Lead: Eddie Van Halen/Slash
Rythm: Snake Sabo
Bass: Duff Mckagan/Rachel Bolan
Drums: Steven Adler/Matt Sorum

[Forest_Fire]

New York Dolls are the best glam rock band ever. How could you not put them in that first list?

[EightMilesHigh]

New York Dolls are the best glam rock band ever. How could you not put them in that first list?

I wouldn't agree completely, but I'd say that's pretty accurate. Johnny Thunders > us all.

And I did suggest them later on.

[highwaychild377]

yea, this kind of turned into a hair metal thread, but they are both closely related. glam is more like david bowie, new york dolls, etc. but still, both genres dont get enough attention.

[blue3]

I like Johnny Thunders.. You Can't Put Your Arms Round a Memory was playing a few minutes ago

[glaiven]

stryper is christian! you don't preach the bible in glam. they give a bad name to metal.

promosquad.com

[glaiven]

uc?

[geezerbasser21370]

an amazing hair metal band would be.......
john bon jovi-vocals
kip winger/george lynch -Rythm
Rhandy Rhoads- Lead
nikki sixx- bass
eric singer- drums
can't tell me that wouldn't rock hard in dolby digital surround sound

[Jon]

Heh, that would be sweet.

So now we need more discussion of modern glam. Like Rachel Stamp, SPiT LiKE THiS and the Renegade Playboys

No, Ozzy is heavy metal..i wouldn't call him hair metal! lol..The hair metal was neevr as good as the original glam rock movement..I mean I love Bon Jovi, and Motley Crue are good, howeve rthey don't comapre to Queen, T-rex or Alice!!

I like the New York Dolls too, they do indeed rock!!

[Jon]

k, more bands to plug

Rattlesnake Remedy (they're playing on my birthday, anyone wanna take me?):

King Lizard:
http://kinglizard.stopthebanter.co.uk/

[Metallifan85]

I love Skid Row and Warrant, epitome of hair metal imo. I wouldn't call them glam metal though.

[MaidenPumpkin]

the best glam rock band was motley crue. and they weren't very good.

I never thought I would tell an Aerosmith fan they suck, but....You suck.

It's all about Crue, they rule. I've been listening to them so much lately.

I can tell you whatever the hell I want to tell you.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

What about the Lone Rangers?

[Jon]

ITT now its favourite Power Ballad

For me its either 18 and Life or Wanted Dead or Alive

[ultimaterocker]

is aerosmith glam rock??

[Dave de Sylvia]

Has anybody heard the Ga*Ga*s?

As for a band:
Vox: Ginger (He was in the Brides Of Destruction for a while, close enough)
Guitar: Mick Mars
Bass: Nikki Sixx
Drums: Matt Sorum

[Jon]

The Brides are cool.

[Bartender]

ITT now its favourite Power Ballad

For me its either 18 and Life or Wanted Dead or Alive

18 and Life is awesome (though I've just realised I don't have it on this computer). Wanted Dead or Alive I never liked that much, despite a ska cover of it.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Oh, I didn't see that there was a new theme. :\

18 & Life is awesome, I must admit, and almost every Bon Jovi single is a guilty pleasure. (Why can't I be faithful to my hatred of 'happy metal'?)

I'll have to hand this one to Home Sweet Home, though. There's a couple of earlier Crue ballads I'd prefer, but this is the ultimate power ballad. Tommy on keyboards :rock

[Jon]

I prefer You're All I Need to Home Sweet Home.

Just...better.

brb need to put Skid Row s/t on again

[ultimaterocker]

I never thought I would tell an Aerosmith fan they suck, but....You suck.

It's all about Crue, they rule. I've been listening to them so much lately.



I can tell you whatever the hell I want to tell you.
Im sorry my comment came out a bit to blunt i own 2 motley crue cd's and i believe they are by far the best band of the glam rock genre but compared to bands liek aerosmith and zepplin and the who they are average.

[blue3]

It's Zeppelin.

Anyways, I've been listening to Skid Row a lot lately. Big Guns and 18 and Life are great songs.

[EightMilesHigh]

Alice Cooper & David Bowie - Vocals
Johnny Thunders - Guitar
Eddie Van Halen - Rythym guitar
Duff McKagan - Bass (o noez)
Tommy Lee - Drums

[EightMilesHigh]

18 & Life is awesome, I must admit, and almost every Bon Jovi single is a guilty pleasure. (Why can't I be faithful to my hatred of 'happy metal'?)


Shot through the heart, and you're too late. Darling, you give love a bad name.

What a song :lol:

[kev_trb1006]

i've just seen people saying good hair metal bands = Bon jovi vocals and EVH on guitar.....you can't not have Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora together!

[Dave de Sylvia]

Duff McKagan - Bass (o noez)

omi u went dare

you can't not have Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora together!

I hate Richie Sambora, he wears far too many stupid hats. He changed hats like 8 times when I saw them.

[Jon]

I saw Faster Pussycat, Loud N' Nasty and some 'billy band last night.

Good stuff.

*listens to Ratt*

[Bartender]

Are Faster Pussycat still together?

[Jon]

Oh yes.

But it seems like Taime's got ole' LSD. Either that, or its a coincidence that there's only one other original member.

[BeaZ]

Has anybody heard the Ga*Ga*s?

As for a band:
Vox: Ginger (He was in the Brides Of Destruction for a while, close enough)
Guitar: Mick Mars
Bass: Nikki Sixx
Drums: Matt Sorum

Yeah man! I love The*Ga*Ga*s! I've been trying to get the album, I'm going to order it online, I have about 4 or 5 of there songs and I love every one of them! I think you might've been the person who recomended them to me, can't remember exactly though.

[EightMilesHigh]

omi u went dare


o noez im like teh mx rebel

[Special Brew]

I get bored with most of the glam/hair bands, but Skid row and Stryper are amazingly good.

[acefrehleyjendell]

There are some bands that i classify as glam that most others don't.
I love glam. Here's the official Acey Jendell glam Top 20 :

KISS
Motley Crue
Ace Frehley
Wednesday 13
Twisted Sister
Tuff
Murderdolls
Trashlight Vision
The Darkness
Tigertailz
Whitesnake
Skid Row
Vinnie Vincent Invasion
Black 'n Blue
Hanoi Rocks
Vince Neil
Frehley's Comet
Warrant
Bullet Boys
Dokken

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah man! I love The*Ga*Ga*s! I've been trying to get the album, I'm going to order it online, I have about 4 or 5 of there songs and I love every one of them! I think you might've been the person who recomended them to me, can't remember exactly though.

Probably, I made a thread about them and the glitterati awhile back, and nobody seemed to care. I bought a promo version of their album, I don't think the album proper had even been released. It's a rather good album, Sex is my favourite song this year. Check out the Glitterati too, their album is due soon.

[warwick_chick]

Has anybody heard the Ga*Ga*s?

yeah I've just listened to 'replica'.its pretty decent.whats the album called?? I've read loads about them in METALHAMMER,but never heard any other songs. :)

[Bartender]

I saw the Glitterati live a while ago. I thought they were pretty good as an opening act, but no one else seemed to think so.

[94_Hours]

18 and Life is awesome (though I've just realised I don't have it on this computer). Wanted Dead or Alive I never liked that much, despite a ska cover of it.
wanted dead or alive isn't a ballad. the acoustic version of livin on a prayer is a ballad. Plus, who can forget the infmous "Every rose has its thorn"

[Jon]

Yes it is :confused:


Seen it on Live in London? God yeah

[shakeappeal]

the best glam band ever were probably the NY dolls. Hanoi Rocks are great too! and we cant leave ta bowie, t rex, and mott the hoople, and the sweet.

[Bartender]

Has anyone heard of Vain? I was just told by a friend of mine (big rock'n'roll/glam fan) that he'll be seeing them live in a couple of weeks.

[Dave de Sylvia]

yeah I've just listened to 'replica'.its pretty decent.whats the album called?? I've read loads about them in METALHAMMER,but never heard any other songs. :)

Tonight The Midway Shines, whatever the **** that means. Go to their website and view the stream of the Sex video, it's really good.

I saw the Glitterati live a while ago. I thought they were pretty good as an opening act, but no one else seemed to think so.

Opening for who? I bought their first single, but I've read that the album is a bit weak on the songwriting front. I hope that's not the case, it's not based on what I've heard.

[spitfirejunky]

Is it safe to define glam rock as rock in which the musicians dress in flaming clothes? It seems that people are lumping Motley Crue with The New York Dolls, two bands who have substantially different sounds. What is glam rock exactly?

[Dave de Sylvia]

I posted this in the Guns N' Roses thread, but it equally belongs here.

OK, I have a real treat for you all. This is a performance of Tijuana Jail from Gilby's 99 Live album, featuring Tracii Guns on guitar. Look out for the extended guitar duels, the surprisingly good drum solo and a guest appearance by a certain AFD-era Guns song. Enjoy. :)

Tijuana Jail (99 Live) (http://s5.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2TOZNM7E204CV0Z47VVVTN2BHV)

Unlike most musical genres, it's more about the look than the sound.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I still think there's a general glam sound, though. Shared influences, shouty choruses, simple enough structure etc.

[ledpoisoning27]

Most Glam Rock bands I like can also be considered Proto Punk. Like The Stooges or New York Dolls.

[ultimaterocker]

alot of glam rock as extremelly outgoing singers with girl like high pitched voices

[Bartender]

Opening for who? I bought their first single, but I've read that the album is a bit weak on the songwriting front. I hope that's not the case, it's not based on what I've heard.

Therapy?. So they didn't really stand a chance of upstaging the headliners in my eyes, but they still seemed good.

[Jon]

For the last time, this is a Hair/Glam Metal thread. Not anything to do with Bowie or T Rex. Thank you.

But I love the Dolls and this is my thread so talk about them with pleasure.

[Jon]

Oh my god I left out Steel Dragon from the list.

They own.

Discuss.

[Bartender]

Are they a real band?

[Jon]

Zakk makes them real in my eyes.

[glaiven]

18 and life

[EightMilesHigh]

Zakk makes them real in my eyes.

Ah, of course :lol:

Yep, glam rock is fun.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Has anyone ever heard of Southgang?

http://www.sleazeroxx.com/bands/southgang/southgang.shtml

I got their second CD, Group Therapy today, it's rather good.

[Pantera in Chains]

I haven't but will check them out.
Has anyone heard of Steelheart. They were a late 80's early 90's glam band that had at least one good cd which was produced by Bruce Dickinson. Their singer is great and he sang some of the tunes for Steel Dragon in rockstar. They had a ballad which is almost a ballad of all ballads called She's gone. I recommend you check them out.

[highwaychild377]

what do people think of the scorpions? awesome songs with an awesome lineup of guitar players

[highwaychild377]

and steelheart is good. i would recommend tesla as well, and queensrhych too, altough they were more prog.

[highwaychild377]

anybody like danger danger?

[highwaychild377]

and whos seen the lynch video "mr. scary"? it is like coolness embodied in guitar playing.

[Dave de Sylvia]

You can edit your posts, you know. It's alot less annoying, and it reduces the possibility people will ignore what you post.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Southgang - Fire In Your Body (http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0TIZYBMYEJXPQ3HCVRUB9P08YE)

Really good tune.

[Metallifan85]

anybody like danger danger?

Goin' Goin' Gone is a pretty cool song

Its also the only one I've ever heard by them, so yeah

[highwaychild377]

yeah, thats a good one. another big one of theirs that comes to mind is 'naughty naughty'. quite humorous, that song.

[Jon]

What do people think about This Left Feels Right by Bon Jovi?

[Jon]

Does anyone have any Loud N Nasty songs? They're not on Limewire or BT and I desperately need a few to fill out tomorrow night's playlist (I'll post it here in an hour or so)

LE: And does anyone have Kanagawa Ratts by Ratt? Its pretty ok. I wish the sound quality was better though :(

[Griffin_Page]

Glam was too simple and flamboyant for me.

[Jon]

Here's my playlist for my party tomorrow night. Before I shuffle it and burn it all, its 5:45:24 long and I think I should cut it down just a tad.

What shall I take off?
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y194/jondz3003/playlistfull.jpg

[Dave de Sylvia]

The Darkness, DJ Sammy, Twisted Sister and Winger can all die. I mean be cut out.

[blue3]

I like some of the songs on the list.. But, why that DJ Sammy song? And less Micheal Jackson songs..

[Jon]

But those are good songs :(

The Winger is good. Seventeen anyway.

[SeasonOfTheMad]

what about alice in chains or pantera when they were glam bands? hilaaaarious

[Jon]

Weren't they called Alice N Chains?

[podbassist]

My moms favorite band is def leppard so i heard a lot of them when i was young. In fact my parents when i was a baby, they would listen to music as i was going to sleep, and they would have the volume like all the way up, and my room was right next to the wall that the stereo was behind. Now noises don't bug me when i am trying to go to sleep because i am so used to it.

Yeah i've fallen to sleep to VH's 'Fair Warning ' album. Not that it was boring, I was just tired. :)

[Jon]

for reference that was the best playlist EVAR

[Dave de Sylvia]

Needed more Crue...

[Jon]

Ah well.

God it was funny. Every other song that came on I was like "EVERYONE THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG EVAR"

Then a few hours ago I did it again, turned to my friend, and was like "wait a minute, these are all my favourite songs because I put them on my playlist"

[Pantera in Chains]

The Darkness, DJ Sammy, Twisted Sister and Winger can all die. I mean be cut out.

Hey man don't diss TS man, Bon Jovi and Jackson they are far worse and need to be cut out of that list. But meh I guess TS isn't really glam and this is the glam thread ......

[Shout it Out]

I wonder why no one has mentioned Cinderella. They were as glam as it got. Other ones that no one has talked about are:

Poison
Shotgun Messiah
Keel
Dokken
Jet Boy
LA Guns
King Kobra
Alcatrazz

Talk about some of them.

[blue3]

http://www.kroq.com/

Motley Crue is playing later. Audioslave is playing next

[highwaychild377]

i know ive said this before, but george lynch is GOD. i think lynch mob was way better than dokken; dons voice is so weak, and the band as a unit seems really half-as.sed, like they dont really want to play the song . lynchs lead work is still brilliant with both groups though. what do you guys think?

[Jon]

I agree with you 100%

Lynch owns.

So do the LA Guns.

Lynch + Guns = :)

[Shout it Out]

I totally agree about George Lynch, he kills. I haven't heard Lynch Mob before, but I have to now.

[acefrehleyjendell]

I was looking in my garage through all these old vinyl albums and i found a huge Glam / Hair Metal section.

I found :

KISS : Creatures of the night, Asylum, Lick it Up, Revenge, Hot in the shade

Poison : Open up and say ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

shi that was a secret :shifty:

Great idea! Glam gets alot of bashing in these forums and I think if more people were educated on the genre, then the may find they like some of it. Definitely include a bit of Motley Crue in there and possible some Van Halen. They were quite glam when they were with Roth.

[acefrehleyjendell]

For some reason, the past 4 days have been filled with :

Vodka
Ciggarettes
Sex
Motley Crue
Alice Cooper
Poison
T-Rex
The Stooges

Why would I buy you something :p

[Jon]

Because you love me and I'm the most awesome most 80s person evar :p

Except Warren DiMartini*, obviously.

*last Glam photo I looked at

[blue3]

Happy birthday in a few days then.

Def Leppard is coming here for a concert.. I'm still not sure if I'm going..

[Axe]

What about Cinderella?Tom Keifer is one of the most talented musicians there is.My allstar hair metal would look like this...

vocals-Sebastian Bach
Lead-Steve Vai(He was in white snake)
Rythm guitar-Tom Keifer
Bass-Nikki Syxx
Drums-Tommy Lee

BTW-i dont consider Van Halen or GNR glam/hair metal or else Axl Rose,Eddie Van Halen would have mad it in my hair metal all star band.

Just what do you intend to do with THAT :angry: ?


And yes, you are the most '80s person ever :p

["5150"]

Does anyone know who to get the 'Glam hair'? I know a fair amount of hairspray is used, but it has to be cut in a certain way?

[Jon]

I intend to be all cool and glam-horrorpunk, duh :p

*evar, not ever.

[Jon]

Grow it down to your shoulders, layer it slightly so its a little shorter on top. Optionally crimp it. Then hairspray, backcomb, hairspray.

[invaderrox]

I find this funny, considering, as far as I've heard, Jon has never actually achieved this :p

[Jon]

I've backcombed it before, and hairsprayed it, but never at the same time because I suck at having a comb *and* spray at hand when I need them

[Jon]

Ugh this is way more trouble than its worth.

[bassboymike]

I'm off to see Motley Crue at the M.E.N in manchester a week on wednesday

You're lucky.

I was looking forward to seeing them in Melbourne, but the tickets are too expensive. If they're still available in a month or two, i might be able to go.

[blue3]

Motley Crue is having a concert here in a few months, but it's already sold out, so whatever.

..I tried to make my friends hair "glam hair" but her hair just looked like a mess in the end.

Argh lucky! How much were the tickets?

Has anyone heard Crue's new song; "Sick Love Song (http://s47.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=370EB6YP1I3BC3UW0OYX7QCBAA) "? If not, and you're interested, click.

[Jon]

In case you missed them on Friday night (I know I was hitting the bottle at the time :p), the repeat of the Crue on the Jonathan Wothh Show is on BBC3 at 10pm. I suggest someone tapes it.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Did anyone see the Crue on TRL(UK) last week? Mick is insane.

I don't have BBC3 :(

I saw it and it was great show. A female member of the audience flashed at Tommy :amaze:

[Jon]

Heh, good stuff.

Who wants to buy me a birthday present for last Thursday?

I tell you what, I donate to this thread the biggest archive of Hanoi press clippings on the intraweb, you all club together and buy me that sweetass Bangkok Shocks... Tour shirt thats on eBay.

[Jon]

Touring.

[Dave de Sylvia]

They're recording a new album with... whathisname right now.

[Jon]

With whoooo

[Dave de Sylvia]

Johnny Solinger.

(Google :cool: )

[Jon]

They're on the road till august though...

[Jon]

So who's heard the new Hanoi album (Another Hostile Takeover)
http://www.hanoirocks.info/aht/

Its a good enough album, more Dogs D'amour than Hanoi I feel. But the thing which made their last 'new' album (Twelve Shots on the Rocks, 2003) amazing was it could easily have been recorded in 1984. This one sounds pretty modern.

But yeah, is it just me or is it reminisent (sp) of More Unchartered Heights of Disgrace by the Dogs?

[Jon]

http://www.blazeradiofm.com/Listen.asp

Listen to the rebroadcast, who can name all the songs? I can't get the first one. The second one is L.A. Guns - Nothing To Lose.

[ultimaterocker]

im really happy to see motley crues comeback its refreshing.

[SlashHalen]

i like Van Halen, LA GUns, Bon Jovi. All really good bands in my opinion

[Aeaon]

Iggy Pop and David Bowie are very good stuff. Very underrated IMO. :thumb:

You used too much salt on your plate of chips. Having salt leftover after a meal is a good sign off a salt OD, and can cause major liver problems.

Be aware.

[Jon]

Nah, I just poured a pile out of a tube of Table Salt. Then I rinsed it off my mirror into the sink.

The only thing that's going up my nose until exams are over is my Hayfever spray ;)

[clearvision]

Mirror looked like a plate :-/

I sensed it was coke and tried to be funny...

/fayle...back to sleep

I have finished exams, but have to go back to coll tomorrow :(

[Jon]

Guess who just got standing tickets for the ****ing Motley Crue at the NEC on Friday...

[Dave de Sylvia]

Guess who's got standing tickets to Motley Crue in Manchesta on Wednesday? :eek:

:eek:

My tickets were £45 + P&P + £22 for the coach

/me watches Motley Live DVD.

["5150"]

I hear Crue are releasing a live DVD of one of their shows on this current tour? If so I think it'd be great since Lewd Crued And Tattoed is missing Tommy. Crue are only 75% without Tommy.

Where's tommy? And did you do that math all by yourself? :amaze:

[Dancin' Man]

ATTN: Jon

Finish your FG.

["5150"]

Where's tommy? And did you do that math all by yourself? :amaze:

He was doing Methods Of Mayhem at the time. Yup I did do that MATHS by myself. Hurt your brain did it?

[Canadian-Guy]

Lucky guys seeing the Crue...I'd do anything to see "Shout At The Devil" performed live....

[rockbrigade]

my first concert was van halen.,....

boy wat a standard that set for all concerts ive seen.....only one, bryan adams, has even come close....


i saw def leppard a few weeks ago.....i love them, have all their albums...

but i was a little dissapointed....joe elliotts vocals have lost a bit of their luster...

but wat kind of made up for it was vivians cambells interpretations of steve clark's (may he rest in peace) original guitar work

[Dave de Sylvia]

Leaving in about an hour for John Lennon Airport in preparation for the Crue tomorrow. Wish me luck!

NP: Skid Row - Monkey Business

[Jon]

Yeah man.


I'm nervous as hell for the Crue but I hung out with Dragonforce last night (I say hung out...it was for hours and hours, not omg hai /me faints) and met Zakk Wylde.

[Jon]

What I forgot to mention in my excitement is that ZP from Dragonforce is a huge glam fan and I was talking to him and their manager about Cinderella and stuff \:D/

[Metallifan85]

Ever hear Cats in Boots? I found them on usenet the other day, pretty cool stuff.

[Jon]

Guess who just got:
1987 American Girls tour VIP Pass
Limited edition 4 track 12" (You're All I Need, Home Sweet Home, Wild Side, Looks That Kill)
Limited edition 1988 UK tour poster
Shout... LP
Too Fast... LP

The Theater LP and the Harley Davidson Crue patch are arriving in a few days, as is Two Steps From The Move LP. All for around a tenner iirc

I'll check out Cats in Boots, but the name does ring a bell...

[Shout it Out]

Ever hear Cats in Boots? I found them on usenet the other day, pretty cool stuff.
I like 'em.

Anyone heard of Tigertailz? They're pretty good too.

[Jon]

Love Bomb Baby was great, they didn't really do that well apart from that. Did you hear their Creeping Death cover?

Oh, Mr Postie brought me:
Two Steps From The Move LP
Theater of Pain LP
Limited edition 4 track 12" Picture disk (You're All I Need, Home Sweet Home, Wild Side, Looks That Kill. the same as the one I have but a picture disk instead of the one in the sleeve and nice box) and Theater... tour poster as compensation for him losing the Harley patch.

[AA-12]

First post for me.

I like Def Leppard, KISS, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Poison, Cinderella, and Skid Row.

[Dancin' Man]

Jon! Are you doing the ****ing FG or not?!?

[Jon]

Its almost done, christ.

If you stopped bitching about it I might actually be bothered to finish it.

["5150"]

Jon, how was Motley Crue last night?

[drankemall]

I got seated tickets at wembley pavilion, they are quite far back block D i think so the view better not be ****... has anyone been in the pavilion? what are the seats like? cos on the website it says they are all flat which sounds a bit retarded to me...

[snakebite]

I went to the Crue gig at the NEC. It was awesome, totally worth coming up from London for.

I don't know much about the Wembley Pavillion. Its basically all the seats from the arena...in the carpark. I remember back inside the area it was all tiered, but I have no idea what it'll be like. You can usually get decent enough views from flat areas though, if in doubt wear high-heeled cowboy boots and stand on your chair.

[the 9th cirlce]

Skid Row is really under rated. When ever anyone thinks of glam rock it always goes straight to Motley Crue. Dont get me wrong, I love Motley Crue it's just Skid Row kicks much more ***. All of their stuff seems to be alot heavier. Plus they've got kick *** guitar in every song.

[snakebite]

Youth Gone Wild has a lame solo though.

Mick Mars is just a little bit sick live, he's way underrated.

[greenantgods]

does hair metal fit in here...? i like the scorpions...

[guitaraddict21119]

I love poison def leppard kiss bon jovi ratt twisted sister la guns hollywood rose and sometimes motley crue but vince neil's voice really gets on my nerves

["5150"]

does hair metal fit in here...?

Check the thread title...

Mick Mars is just a little bit sick live, he's way underrated.

I agree with you completely there. In 'Kickstart My Heart' there are many quick changes but Mick pulls them off so smoothly.

[blue3]

Kickstart my Heart is one of my favorite songs. Anyways, I got Def Leppard concert tickets, yay.

[snakebite]

Bump because Motley Crue owned the **** out of every other gig I've been to, put together

[Lets_Kill_God]

Glam metal gives a metal a bad name and bands like Guns and Roses, Def Lepard and Dokken should not be called metal

[spaceacefrehley]

Im wondering why KISS hasn't been mentioned much. They are pretty much glam rock, and being this is the glam rock thread, im still wondering why the most influential rock band of all time hasn't been brought up much. Ya there new line up is filled with a bunch of ace and peter wannabes, but they own. They have such a bombastic show, but it couldn't even be as successful without good songs to back it up.

Doesn't matter though, cause people can like who they want. As many people who love and are obssessed with KISS, despise KISS too.

But listen to Heaven's on Fire intro, and tell me Paul Stanley's voice isn't amazing.

[Shout it Out]

Glam metal gives a metal a bad name and bands like Guns and Roses, Def Lepard and Dokken should not be called metal
I don't really call GNR metal, but as for glam in general, you crossed the line. I am curious to know which bands that came before glam/hair (with the exception of Sabbath) that you would call metal.

[Bazarov]

Someone her a few months back posted some songs and a video of Glam era Pantera.. I actually liked them. But as for the other glam bands.. I can't say I really care for, but some glam bands have songs with awesome kick balls solos.

["5150"]

Yeah good point. Some Metal, which you (Lets Kill God) may be a fan of, evolved from Glam, you shouldn't bash it without taking that into consideration.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Was the Bon Jovi reference intentional, or just an unfortunate irony?

[Jovian]

Bullet Boys, Skid Row and Saigon Kick are all good hair bands. :cool:

[motleyman]

motley crue kicks.
but they're barely hair or glam they're more strait up metal

[superdigg]

Trash era? Why would discuss an era when someone is garbage?
ah superpeer, you're so witty :p

anyway, i kinda like some hair metal. the power ballads are great.

["5150"]

motley crue kicks.
but they're barely hair or glam they're more strait up metal

I have to agree with you there. Some of their music is quite dark in places, more straight up metal as you said. However, songs like 'She Goes Down' are hair metal all the way.

[Dave de Sylvia]

It depends on what you're listening to. The first album is more power-pop with metal influence than anything. Shout was a straight-forward metal album, before they became just another glam band with Theatre Of Pain. Girls, Girls, Girls had a big rockabilly influence, then Feelgood was more of a straightforward hard rock/pop outing. MC94 was heavy metal and Generation Swine was amazing. New Tattoo wasn't.

[RadKeysPlayer]

I love hair metal! It rocks. I'm always blasting some hair metal as I'm cruising down the street on a Friday night. :cool:

[EightMilesHigh]

Was the Bon Jovi reference intentional, or just an unfortunate irony?

another gem is Steelheart produced by bruce dickenson, as is danger danger

[Shotgun 1]

I'm a big glam rock fan.
KISS, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Poison, Bon Jovi etc etc. It's all good. I also love heavier stuff like Metallica and Pantera but I have a soft spot for the 70s and 80s glam stuff too.
