Its not like i said every band that wears make up make bad music (being a David Bowie fan and all), i was strictly refering to mainstream hair metal from the 80s, not the bands who were involved with its early development, such as Van Halen, Queen, New York Dolls and Alice Cooper...All of whom i like.
IMO Hair metal bands are merely dumbed down versions of those bands, minus the talent.
Like i said before, i put GnR in a different category from hair metal, even if they have quite the same image and were marketed in the same mold...The actual music is just different from other so called "hair metal" bands.
And i usualy judge genres in terms of music and sound, rather than image and region.
