Hair Metal

By far not my favourite genre but a couple of bands I really do like from the 80's (earlier for one band) have been getting a few plays from me recently: Kiss and Ratt. I hate the look, the videos and some of the lyrical content is awful but I have a real soft spot for that big snare/ cheesy guitar riff sound that was all over the place back then. I'm not cool but I don't care less. Air guitars at the ready :D

Kiss- Who Wants To Be Lonely


Ratt- Slip Of The Lip


Awful vids :D

Hair metal is a huge guilty pleasure of mine...
:D

Jackhammer I am so disappointed. I used to look up to you :(

I did grow up in the 80's :D. Don't worry I will redress the balance with my next post and you can look upon me once again with complete and utter admiration :D

Lee come on if you're going to hype eighties rock you could at least hype Hanoi Rocks or something decent!

Never liked them. These are the only two bands I can tolerate. I actually detest the scene generally with a passion but for some reason I like Ratt. Fucked if I know why.

KISS though? I mean... all of there songs are about having sex, and it's not even done creatively where you can actually respect it.

I have a thread elsewhere on these but did'nt include anything about their first release for four years in there. Wow. What another stupendously gorgeous work of dreamy, ambient Pop that soothes and caress's the soul. Sure vocalist Alison Shaws vocals are not to everyone's tastes but the whole album is like a gentle breeze in your head. I know I sound like a hopeless old romantic but this album really is the bomb but as usual it will dissapear like so many other good albums while everyone gorges themselves on the usual popular fair. Their loss and my gain.
