"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
GNR at their peak from Appetite and for about 6 years later, they were unbelievably huge... maybe people forget but they were the biggest band in the world... they had like two albums in the top 5 at one point...they pretty much ruled MTV/Rolling Stone/media.. GNR may have been the last gasp of...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
"Hair Metal' breathed new life into metal. Disco and new wave were massive at the time(early 80s) and then a lot of glam metal bands started breaking out into the mainstream and reintroducing metal to a whole new generation. "Hair" metal also gave us bands like Alice in Chains and Pantera. If it...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
It's ironic that the grunge guys gave to people lyrics painting pictures of how depressing and miserable life is while they were out buying multi-million dollar homes IN CASH! In that wake of Grunge there were a lot of Heavy Metal bands that didn't deserve to be thrown by the wayside. I believe...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
When I was 16 (1992) I paid £16 in a Virgin Megastore for the Point Break soundtrack, just for this song (there were a couple others on there that were ok too, luckily). Imagine trying to explain that to a 16 year old today! Ratt and Point Break . One of the last songs of a great generation .- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
I am a lady, but i am not that young. I am 43 year old. You are right, but you have to understand that i am emotionally hurt. I totally agree with you that music is subjective, but grunge music ruined Rock and Metal as far as i am concerned. Grunge turned the 90s into a musical wasteland. Music...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
You have to admit that all of those grunge bands had a singer who sounded like his foot is caught in a bear trap and he is trying to get out. You could make fun of anybody from the 80's glam metal bands vocally speaking, you could find worst of the worst vocals and they are likely way better...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
I've come to the realization that most of the people who like Nirvana are like moths flying around a streetlight at nighttime. What they see in it is anyone's guess! And when you try to engage the typical Nirvana stooge in a debate they usually stare back with a deer in the headlights look and...- Marla 1976

Motley Crue (Official Thread)
Nobody was more badass than Motley Crue! Tommy Lee was one of the best straightforward 4/4 drummers of the time. No arguing that. Nikki was an amazing songwriter too. And Mick Mars wrote some of the best guitar riffs of the 80's. However, I have always found his guitar solos to be humdrum. Even...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
I was 16 year old in 1992 grunge broke big. Glam metal bands still had plenty of fans, but the industry embraced the whole alternative/grunge scene at that time, and milked that dry too. But i agree with you that it wasn't just grunge that killed hair metal, the 90's opened the gates for music...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
I was in high school 1990-94, and we called it Metal. It was always good to have a few trash metal albums around for when boys would come around. But if they weren't around it was Poison, Winger, Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses, Cinderella, Warrant, Slaughter, Def Leppard, etc. Hair metal was popular as...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
Are you serious? You can say how "Grunge" was good for Rock but in no way can an emergence that killed it be considered a good thing for Rock. Looking at it in retrospect shows how devastating it truly was.The emergence of the alternative style stifled Rock's growth and continuance as a cultural...- Marla 1976

In 89 i had this video on VHS and i broke the cassette cause i played and rewinded it so many many times... Love this VIDEO !!Do you know that this is the sequel to "Poison" video.

90's Hair Bands
THIS SONG REALLY ROCKS!!! I remember when this song hit MTV in 1992, these guys were so awesome now no one from my generation even remembers Hardline. This song was the last great single of the hair band era, struggling to breathe under the weight of the depressing and un-melodic thuds of...- Marla 1976

One thing you have to admit; as goofy as the 80's hair band guitarists looked with the big hair, make-up and spandex they spent years mastering their craft with blistering guitar riffs and killer solos whereas Cobain shot up the charts playing rinky-dink power chords and amateurish piss ant...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
People can laugh at the haircuts, videos, outfits, lyrics and album covers and the banality of power chords but there was a reason why this stuff was popular - it had some fine hooks, riffs and great hot singers. I admit to you that I wish Heavy Metal songs could be top 10 hits on the Hot 100...- Marla 1976

"Hair Metal" vs Grunge
Thank you. I guess i am passionate. In the broadest possible sense there are two "schools" of heavy metal pre-1980s (kind of like how there are two schools of jazz tenor playing, you're either a Hawkins disciple or a Lester Young disciple). Theres the European school: Black Sabbath, Deep...- Marla 1976

Kip Winger has got to be the sexiest man alive. I was sooo in love with Kip Winger! He was sooooooooo hot! I still think he is. Kip is so hot in this video. Oh what I would've done for this man. Loved that he looked so animalistic, like a wolf.- Marla 1976
