"This isn't hair metal."

The imagery/way of dressing that these guys went was very akin to glam metal

Really though I haven't even listened to this in like 2 years I barely remember how it sounds (excluding Sweet Child o' Mine), I was talking more the stuff that followed it shortly afterwards which I'm not really a fan of, and whether or not they're "true" glam metal it doesn't really matter since this inspired a lot of bands that go with that genre tag

i thought these guys were a reaction against hair/glam metal really, yeh they had a certain overt image but i thought their attitude and musical style were trying to get away from poodle stuff which had become a bit of a self-parody joke at the time

@Gwyn: By that argument Priest and Maiden were glam too.

yeh not glam, played the image card for sure but tried to be substance over style at least

That's just part and parcel of rock n roll I guess. Everyone plays the image card to some extent.

of course, wasnt a criticism, inspiring thousands of teenagers to wear handkerchiefs on their head is some feat

pretty sure these guys were basically the beginning of the end of glam metal

yeh maybe, it's just the record industry though really, the glam thing started getting a bit popular so they saw dollar signs and jumped on it, then suddenly truckloads of glam metal and people tire of it, then the record companies discard it and move on to something else to wring dry

Glam metal didn't lost its commercial appeal until Nirvana came along

grunge really killed it off but it was already in decline, gnr maybe straddle glam a bit but i really

dont see them as part of that scene proper they did wear makeup at first ho so i can see why they fit

a bit

I agree with mena, glam had saturated the market by
1989, and with the generation shift, people began to
look for different things.

And then grunge arrived to the market.
