[QUOTE=cacophonyz]The best glam metal,is newer glam metal...

Backyard Babies,Shotgun Messiah,Zan Clan>Any 80's glam/hair band(excluding only Skid Row)[/QUOTE]

Backyard Babies rocks! I don't know if they are glam metal thought. I think they are more like a rock n' roll/punk kinda band. Just ****ing slamming powerchords (not only powerchords ;) ).

[QUOTE="5150"]Haha yeah. Rock N Roll hasn't really recovered since then. However, things are brewing in London etc. Crue are selling out. A Rock N Roll revival is not far away.[/QUOTE]

London comes to the rescue again, I love England.

[QUOTE="5150"]Alot of bands didn't crap out, they just fell out of the mainstream (or is that what you meant? Sorry if it is). Many of the bands tried to change their style, namely Crue and Skid Row, but it didn't really work.[/QUOTE]Yeah, that was what I meant. Sorry about that.

[QUOTE=Jon]Guess who's in with the london glam scene and apparently in a glam band :eek:

Has anyone heard a song...I have no idea what its called or who its by...it was sort of modern sounding glam, you know what I mean...and like...it was namedropping all different bands. The only lyric I can remember was something like "Guns N' Roses...Motley Crue...and SKID ROW RULE" or something like that. I also remember it mentioning Kickstart My Heart and Cherry Pie...

Any guesses what it was?[/QUOTE]

The song is Tuff - American Hairband

When Def Leppard Rocked and Skid Row Ruled

Skid Row isn't the same without Bach

Going to see them in just over a month, It'll still rock

[QUOTE=Metallifan85]Skid Row isn't the same without Bach[/QUOTE]



No doubt - It's kinda like when DIO tried to sing for Black Sabbath...It didn't work. :lol:

yeahhh.... galm/hair metal thread !

Have anyone heard some of Wig Wam's songs? I think they are great!!! Teeny on guitar, and he shreds like mr. Malmsteen! Norway rocks!

So I'm back from the land of the flying Torah or whatever its called these days.

Anyway, glam clubbing tomorrow, I plan to go in leather jeans, leather jacket, converse, hairspray and possible t-shirt and underwear.

I love you.

I just watched VH1's Rock on! hour. Glam Metal all the way. Whitesnake, Alice Cooper(Poisen!), Dokken, but most importantly, Yngwie. This man is insane. He swings the guitar around his neck. He does ALL the stances and he plays like a god. I love Yngwie.

Im seeing Ratt, Quiet Riot, Cinderella tomorrow night for free, im not a big fan of hair metal, or metal, but i get to go free. (my drummers dad owns the hall) It should be fun night.

I should post in here more often. I love glam rock.

T. Rex is one of my favorites.

*flashes Glam Platinum card*

So the other night I was in the toilets at a London glam club with Zion and Vikki from Spit Like This and Jez from Indigo Down. I was wearing a Cinderella shirt, Zion was wearing a sparkly KISS shirt and Jez was wearing a Warrant shirt. A guy walks in with a T.Rex shirt on and Zion's just like "yeahhhh duuudeee". He gives us a whole lecture on how great T.Rex are, then chokes me and Jez by the throat (lightly, he didn't mean to hurt us but he was drunk and coked up and was generally being a twat that night) and goes "those bands...nothing. KISS...nothing. T.Rex? They're a band".

Then he walked out of the room.

Anyway yeah, I love T.Rex. Probably my favourite glam rock band, after the Dolls. Maybe even better than the Dolls.

I like them both equally. Haven't heard much by T. Rex, though, just Bang A Gong.

Woah this thread is like an oasis in a R&M section full of ***OFFICIAL(INSERT RANDOM SH[SIZE=2]I[/SIZE]TTY BLACK METAL BAND)THREADS***, from what I've read this thread is pretty inclusive to general 'Rock N Roll' right?? Cool thread though guys :thumb:

To be honest, if its a good band that have enough balls to rock hard and party harder I'll let you talk about them in this thread.

I mean Backyard Babies aren't really glam, but they rock :)

Looks like another great review, but I personally hate the Manic Street Preachers :eek:

Has anyone heard the new Zodiac Mindwarp album? I've heard great things about it.

Oh, and here's the band that there's a slight possibility I might be in soon

Well this thread gives me hope that some people do still like to rock and party then and that music doesnt have to be pretentious, it can just be FUN :thumb:

I have alot to learn about the proper rock 'n' roll bands around at the moment because it seems with not alot of people my age (16) being into it and the press not giving them alot of coverage you really have to research the scene.
I'm into stuff like some of the older bands you mentioned in the thread opener and stuff like AC/DC and Guns N Roses(I know not to discuss them here, to be honest I have nothing to discuss about them really). Im also really into bands like The Datsuns, The Mooney Suzuki, Modey Lemon etc but I was wondering if you guys could recommend me some bands to look out for? Cheers

I'm 16 too, but perfectly in with the London glam scene... I think you have to draw a line between hanging out with people your age and hanging out with people who are actually similar to you.

Anyway, old bands or new bands?

Old you have to check out Cinderella, Skid Row and Hanoi Rocks, newer maybe Backyard Babies, Babylon A.D., Loud N' Nasty, Crazy Lixx etc etc (to be honest I prefer the older stuff).

On the topic, there are plenty of bands who really don't like to go out and party for fear of damaging the next night's performance (I remember ZP bitching about Stratovarius wanting to be tucked up in bed by 11.30 if they had a gig the next night), but where's the fun in that?

That's cool, yeah I heard a little Hanoi Rocks and yeah Skid Row are playing my local venue soon, but yeah it's all great for you living in London :p Some of us have to make do with the Midlands :upset:, anyways cheers for the bands :thumb:

Meh, Birmingham seemed to have enough of a scene...

yeah east mids, leicester and nottingham, anyways that's for me to find out, sure it's somewhere...I guess

Motley Crue F-in Rules

[QUOTE=Grateful Dead]Get out of my thread :evil:[/QUOTE]
Get out of *my* thread :evil:

I liked the songs you uploaded, I based my statement on A Design For Life. Which is the worst song since Travis' Rain Song.

Which is why I may or may not have my eMule trained on their first two albums at the moment.

Generation Swine isn't so bad actually, for a pop-Nirvana-with-guitar-solos album.

I have just come into the possession of the Bowie Singles Collection and I'm in love. I completely forgot he wrote a lot of these songs and I really, really like the whole double album.

Kinda changing subject but whats everyones view on the The GA*GA*S and Glitterati?? I saw the Glitterati and they were pretty cool. What kind of success do you think they will have 'cause I think we need a few more proper bands like this for them to make an impact.

Yeah it's pretty accessible stuff too, especially the glitterati, so it is a shame. I guess the general public REALLY aren't digging stuff like that the moment.

They're both pretty solid bands, but they're more pop orientated. I mean, I don't think I've ever heard my glam friends mention them, they're more of pop-rock bands to be honest.

What we need is more bands like Crazy Lixx, Loud N Nasty and a more ballsier version of the Renegade Playboys.

BTW because this is my thread and I'm god and blah blah blah, everyone go out now and buy* [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004RIUM/qid=1124738197/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl15/102-3320339-4024901?v=glance&s=music&n=507846]this[/url]

Generation Terrorists and Gold Against The Soul, that is.

Wow.
