tigertailz is decent, but FIREHOUSE OWNZ

Jon, how was Motley Crue last night?

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...

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.

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.

Youth Gone Wild has a lame solo though.

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

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

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

Check the thread title...

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

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

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

Bump because Motley Crue owned the fu[size=2]c[/size]k out of every other gig I've been to, put together

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

[QUOTE=Superpeer]Trash era? Why would discuss an era when someone is garbage?[/QUOTE]
ah superpeer, you're so witty :p

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

[QUOTE=motleyman]motley crue kicks.

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.

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:

[QUOTE=Grateful Dead]Was the Bon Jovi reference intentional, or just an unfortunate irony?[/QUOTE]

You Give Love A Bad Name owns.

i know im gonna get flamed....

but michael bolton...lol couldnt a FEW songs count?

he actaully does have a few hair metal style rockers with big cheesy solo's n stuff :)

listen to "its only my heart" trust me its rock; you wont believe it! the leads though cheesy are actaully cool! lol

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

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.

Hey, it's all good !

Hahaa I'm a Bolton fan myself lol. I love some of his hits but I'm gonna check out "it's only my heart". My favorite song of his is "How Can We Be Lovers"

Pretty Boy Floyd. They're quite glam.

before he went sissy he was a metal man and his guitarist was bruce kulick who ended up in kiss and that's why forever (a kis ballad) is co-ritten my the mushy bastard. i no, i'm a kiss geak

yes ive heard that before ^ his name was originally michael bolitini

he sang hard rock in a band called like blackjack??? i dunno...lol....

my fav glam by far is def leppard, im amazed they havnt been mentioned....them and bon jovi were practically the face of hair metal

[QUOTE=motleyman]i no, i'm a kiss geak[/QUOTE]

There's nothing wrong with being knowledgeable.

holycrap thanks man, I thought I'd lost this thread to the depths of R&M forever :)

I finally downloaded Decline of Western Civilization Part II the other day. I need to track down some Seduce, London and Wet Cherri. Sleaze Roxx and Metal Sludge are of only vague use :(

However it has reaffirmed my love of Faster Pussycat, which can only be a good thing. Its also the most inspiring film I've seen, the complete opposite to how Spheeris wanted it to look and also the opposite to how its generally perceived.

Bring on the stadiums, coke, groupies and lawsuits :)

This is a hair metal thread, but whatever. I'll let you talk about Iggy, the Dolls and Mott The Hoople.

Iggy is my hero.

Skid Row vs Faster Pussycat
Skid Row vs Guns N' Roses
Kix vs Cinderella
Ratt vs Crue
Bon Jovi vs Poison
TTFL vs Out Of The Cellar
Home Sweet Home vs You're All I Need
Youth Gone Wild vs Wild Side

[QUOTE=snakebite] Skid Row vs Guns N' Roses[/QUOTE]

Tough one, but i'd say Skid Row win by a small margin.

[QUOTE]Youth Gone Wild vs Wild Side[/QUOTE]

Wild Side wins easily!

My choices
FP
Skid Row
abstain
Crue
abstain
TFFL

abstain

I think Wild Side and Youth Gone Wild are very, very similar.

[QUOTE=snakebite]I think Wild Side and Youth Gone Wild are very, very similar.[/QUOTE]

Ye I agree on that one! Wild Side is not as cheesy though.

Skid Row
Skid Row
Cinderella
Crue
Poison
What's TTFL stand for?
You're All I Need
Youth Gone Wild, maybe just because I've heard Wildside so much.

Too Fast For Love

i LOVE the crue....but why does motley crue get SOOO much cred among the glam people? it almost seems like what metallica has goin on....lol....(ps i do like metallica)

i think bands like dokken or whitesnake were WAAAAAY more talented and inventive...

but im not trying to bash motley crue I love wild side, SOS and of course 'GLITTER' (crank the bass and its a beautiful song) ......

ya another thing that kinda bugs me bout Crue is tommy lees book he bashes on whitesnake, winger, warrant....

he tries to act as if motley wasnt glam and that those that are suck....GET OVER IT TOMMY :)
