Just like you once told me (if I remember correctly) that you recognized Vai's playing on Zappa's albums (where he didn't write any music either), I recognize his style on that album. It's the way he plays, the precise rhythm parts, use of vibrato bar etc.Smile


Didn't he play on that album as a replacement for Adrian Vandenburg,who if I remember correctly had some kind of problem that hampered his ability to play guitar?

I love their debut album On Through the Night.Elliott's vocals aren't up to snuff on that one,but the music is fantastic.

Especially for a bunch of teenagers.

Yes. The music (including the guitar parts) had already been written, then Vandenberg broke his wrist before they entered the studio to record the tracks. So Vai stepped in and played all the guitar parts (in his own style, but within the boundaries of what had been written for him) and also toured with the band (like he explains on his website).

Crimson Glory was a commercial band with a huge hit (lonely) and judging purely their image you can say they're 80s hair metal..But they're more prog i have to admit musically.Anyway..can i choose them ?Tongue

Thank You! My vote would have be along the same lines

   I couldn't stand any of this. I had a friend who used to try to push it on me. Because I was into prog he would say, "Well, you should at least be able to appreciate the musicianship." Uh ...the what?
   Because of the lack of prog, I got into alternative bands.

Oh gosh, I loathe Hair Metal...Dead BTW, Twisted Sister were quite a different kettle of fish - much more ironic, and lots of fun to watch live! If I had to vote for a hair metal band, though, I'd vote for Whitesnake, though I very much prefer their pre- "1987" output.

Since Glover's long dreadlocks qualify them as a "hair metal" band I vote for Living Colour.  "Cult of Personality" is still one of the best songs to blow your speakers with from the 80s.  Def Leppard gets an honorable mention for the incredible guitar sounds they were able to record.

I know the bassist for Poison, and he thinks I like his music when I think it's terrible. His son used to go to school with me. He was kinda stupid. Big smile

The only hair metal band I love is Extreme, but not ironically, my fave album is their last one, and that one is more grunge than hair metal.
