JamieTwort: Hair Metal: Best Of The Best

JamieTwort 02.23.11	Probably gonna get flamed for this.
Piglet 02.23.11	Yep.
sspedding 02.23.11	missing Scorpions.
JamieTwort 02.23.11	^19 & 20
sspedding 02.23.11	uh. I must be blind. Also missing van Halen :D
JamieTwort 02.23.11	Never really classed Van Halen as Hair Metal.
TheSpirit 02.23.11	How the hell are you going to include Girls,Girls,Girls but not the Crue's best two albums Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil? Dr. Feelgood is kinda understandable but seriously fail the Crue album's with GGG. Also, the Scorpions were NOT hair metal
JamieTwort 02.23.11	@Spirit: if you read the description you'd have realised that this is a song list and not an albums list. It just happens to be that two of my favourite Crue songs are from those albums. As for Scorpions, the majority of the albums they put out were not hair metal including most of the songs on Blackout but the two songs on this list have the same kind of vibe as the rest of this list and I feel fit along side the rest of these songs nicely. But everyones entitled to their opinion.
JamieTwort 02.23.11	and also I agree that overall Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil are the Crue's best albums and Girls, Girls, Girls definately has some filler, but the title track rules.
TheSpirit 02.23.11	fair enough
CrownOfMagnets 02.23.11	I hate Bon Jovi. He totally copied Van Halen with the whole last name as the band name ordeal.
omnipanzer 02.23.11	There are only a few hair bands I can stand and Halen is one of them. Slayer Van Halen Queensryche That's about it. I'm not even sure they are hair metal but seriously it's close enough.
CrownOfMagnets 02.23.11	Dude, Van Halen really isn't hair. I consider em classic rock. I consider Slayer more thrashy than hair. Plus Kerry King is bald. Har har.
omnipanzer 02.23.11	I hear you but hair band is defined as: Musically, glam metal uses traditional hard rock and heavy metal songs, incorporating elements of punk rock, while adding pop-influenced catchy hooks and guitar riffs. Like other heavy metal songs of the 1980s, they often feature shred guitar solos. So I admittedly incorrectly kind of lump them all together and seeing as I actually grew up in that time I feel it's my right to do so. I lived through the pain so it's my right to be wrong. ;^P
Thor 02.23.11	title of list is an oxymoron
CrownOfMagnets 02.23.11	Right on, Van Halen definitely has hair elements but they are less of a formula.
JamieTwort 02.23.11	Van Halen - 5150 could easily be lumped into the hair metal genre as could some early Queensryche songs such as The Lady Wore Black.
BigHans 02.23.11	Van Halen's first album pretty much launched hair metal.
BigHans 02.23.11	Awesome list dude, I like almost all of these. Its getting close to that time of year again.
omnipanzer 02.23.11	I think all of Van Roth is pretty Hair oriented but that being said it's probably the best hair metal of all time IMHO.
JamieTwort 02.23.11	yeah early Van Halen certainly had a major influence on the genre
omnipanzer 02.23.11	# Van Halen (1978) # Diver Down (1982) # 1984 (1984) Classics IMO
omnipanzer 02.23.11	5150 (1986) Is the only Van Hagar album I think is really good.
JamieTwort 02.23.11	Self titled and 1984 are awesome, never been all that keen on Diver Down though, I prefer Van Halen II and Fair Warning personally.
JamieTwort 02.23.11	"5150 (1986) Is the only Van Hagar album I think is really good." ^I agree
JamieTwort 02.23.11	and thanks Hans, I thought you'd approve of this list
omnipanzer 02.23.11	Yah, Diver Down is one of those albums that I know I'm mostly alone on but it has a lot of sentimental value and I just think it's a really strong album.
BigHans 02.23.11	5150 is the best Van Hagar album, although sometimes I have a soft spot for "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"
omnipanzer 02.23.11	^ Word, I always for get about that. That album was bigger than life when it came out. Nice call Hans.
BigHans 02.23.11	Theres some nostalgic classics on there, like Poundcake. And yeah that album was huge.
omnipanzer 02.23.11	I've been out there Tried a little bit of everything But it's all sex without love I found the real thing is poundcake...
JamieTwort 02.23.11	For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is a pretty good album. Poundcake rules.
CrownOfMagnets 02.23.11	Right Now is cheesy though haha
omnipanzer 02.23.11	VH
AngelofDeath 02.23.11	I don't know if I would've put VH either, even though I love them. S'up with no White Lion though?
omnipanzer 02.23.11	wait - wait no I never had a chance to love you and I only wanna say I love you one more tiiiiiiiiiime
AngelofDeath 02.23.11	See, omni knows. One of the best solos ever.
omnipanzer 02.23.11	I HATE hair bands bro... but I remember them. *begins smacking himself in the head I need to turn on some talking heads pronto!
AngelofDeath 02.23.11	Well, Talking Heads are good too.
omnipanzer 02.23.11	You old so & so. I'm going to rename you to Mr. Accommodation. I need a Stone IPA, sorry that just poped into my head.
JamieTwort 02.24.11	Damn I totally forgot about White Lion, Wait is a great song. I also have a soft spot for the song Broken Heart, preferably the version from Mane Attraction.
Hawks 02.24.11	My dad would definitely jizz over this list.
Gorification 02.24.11	ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICAAAAAANE!
Dryden 02.24.11	scorpions fuck ya m/
TheSpirit 02.24.11	"There are only a few hair bands I can stand and Halen is one of them. Slayer Van Halen Queensryche" Reported for calling Slayer hair metal
BigHans 02.24.11	Scorpions aren't technically hair metal, but neither are Tesla. I lump them in for simplicity sake.
omnipanzer 02.24.11	^^ Then they should have gotten hair cuts.
BigHans 02.24.11	lol to me the association is more about makeup and spandex than long hair. I mean almost every metal band ever had long hair, at least pre-90's.
TheSpirit 02.24.11	Tesla rules WHERES JACKYL
BigHans 02.24.11	Jackyl rules
AngelofDeath 02.24.11	Also needs: Kix Angel Hanoi Rocks Molly Hatchet New York Dolls Dangerous Toys
omnipanzer 02.24.11	Jackyl rules
BigHans 02.24.11	Danger Danger
JamieTwort 02.25.11	"Scorpions aren't technically hair metal, but neither are Tesla. I lump them in for simplicity sake." Yeah, I only really class Tesla's debut album and 2 or 3 Scorpions albums as Hair Metal and even those are debatable. Also the majority of Whitesnakes discography isn't Hair Metal especially not their earlier stuff.
JamieTwort 08.31.11	Bump.
TheNotrap 08.31.11	Hahaha You already have one Hair Metal list m/ Very cool list, specially 1-7, 19, 20,27,29 e 30 Great to see No One Like You here. One of their best songs IMO
JamieTwort 08.31.11	Thanks. Yeah I think I have about 3 Hair Metal lists.
Emim 08.31.11	"Tesla rules" fuck yeah, local bands. One of the guitarists used to play at my church.
JamieTwort 08.31.11	^ Cool.
BigHans 08.31.11	BYE BYE BABY BYE BYE AND THAT WAS ALL SHE WROTE
