Yes. Hair metal was a derogatory term for glam metal and the associated AOR bands.

You are indeed an expert Mongo. There is no Mongo more expert than you.

After exposure to the above just apply this vigorously to your ears for five minutes...

I'm very familiar with WASP and I like them and that tune okay, but in my opinion it's nowhere near as interesting or resonant harmonically, melodically, in terms of the arrangment, etc. as the Alcatrazz tune I posted (or Winger's "Battle Stations" for that matter). Those first two Alcatrazz albums were some of the best stuff ever, in my opinion--not just for hair metal.
