The music that the above bands(and bands like them),made in the 80's. Back then it was just "metal",but they call it "hair metal" now.That name alludes to the mile-high hair and tons of hairspray these guys wore. It could have just as easily been called "spandex metal".  ------------- |

Not quite...or not at all. The Progtologist's view seems to be more accurate, but actually hair metal pretty much falls in what one would label "80s metal", since that was the mainstream source, baring an axiomatic appearance of tresses' almost-disturbing length. -------------  |

of all types of metal, the Air metal (second part of the 80's and mainly LA based but US in general including Guns And Roses , the big absent from this list and maybe the better one of those groups - therefore my choice ) is the emptiest and noisiest, crappiest , hollowest form of metal music. Don't get me wrong, generally I am not a fan of metal (but I was a metalhead once) , but Airmetal (due to the fact that this was for airheads girls also) was more about make-up and vile attitude than about music.

I never heard the term "Air Metal" ... and I don't think that even the worst hair metal bands (Poison are a prime example here IMO) were worse than the typical pop/rock stuff of that time. And albums like Appetite for Destruction, 1984 or Slippery When Wet are simply congenius. These are not really hair metal for me ... that term really just applies to the really "hollow" bands.

Slave to The Grind is a brilliant metal album - absolutely pure metal, kinda like the debut but turned up to 11 on all counts.
Their more recent stuff has been surprising me - it's not as immediate as the first two, but the quality is still there. Just yesterday I bought "Thick Skin", and I'm surprised it didn't make more of a splash when it was released - it's a bit experimental in places, but I guess it still has too much of the "old" sound for modern metal fans, and their new tendency to head towards dischordant sounds is probably not to most people's tastes. They also seem to have "absorbed" sound from other bands - I hear echoes of GunsNRoses, Creed and Foo Fighters that makes this album sound somewhat generic in places. It's still a good album - but Slave... is their best. I agree on the Scorpions - they went through so many changes that it's a bit unfair to label them a "hair metal" band - espeically as none of them ever looked particularly "glamourous". From the beginning they mixed up hard rockin tracks with slower ballad-like numbers, so I see a kind of natural progression in their discography, unlike either Whitesnake or Def Leppard, who obviously made the move to ride the wave. I think Whitesnake were more excusable (apart from those perms) simply because of "Saints and Sinners" which is a classic album, and "1987" which has Steve Vai on and is therefore brilliant. My favourite Scorps album is either "Love Drive" or "Animal Magnetism", neither of which have that "Hair Metal" sound at all. "Blackout" has a much better production - and it's a very, very close 3rd. Great album! Yeah... I prefer the Scorps without Uli, even though he was amazingly inventive. ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

I found all the early Whitesnake albums, bar 'Saints And Sinners', funnily enough, to be very inconsistent. That album shone out as being by far the best of the early era to me, but I've heard it described by many as being their weakest...Whatever, I only own '1987', probably the best album they ever made, and a compilation of the early albums called 'The Early Years'. I thought it was John Sykes of Tygers of Pan Tang/Thin Lizzy (he is brilliant on the 'Thunder and Lightning' album songs I know), not Steve Vai on '1987' though.

Steve Vai has no real connection to Whitesnake - It was John Sykes on 1987 (absolutely great album BTW). Steve Vai played on the following album (Slip of the Tongue) but he wasn't really involved in the songwriting - he just stepped in for Adrian Vandenberg. But he surely played the tracks in his own, instantly recognizable way. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Since Vai played on "Slip..." and gets equal credits with Vandenberg, I guess that makes it a pretty real connection, songwriting or not. Playing in "his own (...) way" would indicate that he wrote some of the music. ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

^ actually it says in the liner notes that Vai played all the guitars on the album, but wrote nothing for it. That's also consistent with his comments on his own website:
http://www.vai.com/AllAboutSteve/disconotes_slipofthetongue.html - http://www.vai.com/AllAboutSteve/disconotes_slipofthetongue.html
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. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

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).

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.

Just like Def Leppard... Def Leppard AREN'T Hair Metal... They may have helped but if you see, they were never a hair metal band... they started as an honest heavy-rock band with On Through the Night and High N'Dry, and then turned intoa kind of pop-metal band (probably the best ever) with Pyromania and specially the over-produced-but-nevertheless-excellent Hysteria... You can see that they don't have "hair attitudes" or "hair looks" (except for Savage's hair... Clarck's hair was more like Duff's from Guns N' Roses) or "hair lyrics".... That was (IS) a serious pop-metal band... What differentiates pop-metal from hair metal in my view is that the latter depends on looks and videos and non-musical factors much more than it does on musical factors, whereas pop metal is still music-first, maybe poppy, but music first. Don't compare this band to Poison, Cinderella, or all of that semi-crap (I say SEMI because maybe there are a few good songs lost in the rubble)....
Just as Whitesnake started almost as a buelsy hard rock band and had a couple "hairy" hits, Def Leppard is NOT a hair metal band. -------------

Actually, many other bands fall in the pop metal category more than in the hair metal category... I think the latter term should be used only to those really no-talent bands that survivied only because of looks, like Poison, Cinderella, Loverboy, Nelson, etc.... Don't spit too hard, some people put Van HAlen into the hair category (that is incredibly stupid but that's the misconception: every rock band with a couple members with long, sprayed-tall ultra-blonde hair is hair metal.....)

It looks like this was an old poll re-revisited. The nostalgic days of the 1980's. The Hair Metal was definitely the music of my youth, and the music that began my music collection days. My vote went for Europe, however, all of the bands listed had there good and bad points. My first two "real" LPs were Def Leppard's Pyromania and Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head. I received them both as a Christmas present so many years ago. My collection has grown quite alot since then. The day I bought my first CD player, I also bought OU812 from Van Halen and Long Cold Winter from Cinderella, so both of those CDs have a special memory for me. -------------

Oh man, Fastway, never thought i'd here that name again. I used to play that guitar riff in the back of 10th grade guitar class from that song that I can't think of. You know which one I'm talking about. The one Fastway riff that everybody who has heard of Fastway thinks of when they here the name Fastway. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |
