And i have their self titled debut, in other words, their entire studio catalog.

They are not any more hair metal than Mott The Hoople, Iggy Pop, Queen or other glam rock bands from that era, they are a big influence on hair metal, it dosent make them hair metal.

I have heard Hanoi Rocks, not my cup of tea, better than most godawful excuses for bands from that period however.

They were a defining influence in it`s image & sound & you know that.

Save the genre debates for the kiddies

The former more than the latter.

Anyway my original point was you can be covered in make up & hair & sound good.

I think you kind of overlooked that

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.

I`m trying to think of a good 80s hair band

Nope can`t do it

Laces Out Dan! · 03-06-2006, 12:20 AM

Van Halen!
EDIT:Mind you debuted in late 70s

Urban Hat€monger ? · 03-06-2006, 12:20 AM

I discounted bands that were around in the 70s

Urban Hat€monger ? · 03-06-2006, 12:22 AM

That was before , i`m talking about now

The gnr song catcher is the rye is really good.

Catcher in the Rye

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folk's say
But every time I’d see them
Makes me wish I had a gun

If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
Guess I'd have more fun

Ooh the Catcher in the Rye again
Ooh won't let ya get away from his gun
It's just another day like today

You decide
If I don't have to
Then they'll find
And I won't ask you
At anytime
Or long thereafter
If it's cold outside
I’m imaging
How it’s gonna be
All alone

(Solo)

Ooh the Catcher in the Rye again,
Ooh won't let ya get away from his gun
It's just another day like today

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folk's say
As if they'd ever change
That's not whom I to say
But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
It's what used to be's not there for me
And ought to find someone that belonged insane like I do

Not at all (repeat)

On an ordinary day
Not in an ordinary way
All at once this song I heard
No longer would it play for anybody
Or anyone
That needed comfort from somebody
Needed comfort from someone who cared
To be
Not like you
Unlike me
And then the boy took that away
From me
So that it set the wheels in motion
Haunts our memories
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body took the body
Gave that boy a gun
Took our innocence
Beyond our stance
Some type of moment
There we got it
All alone with her (hurt?) today
