The "80's Glam Metal Listening Pussified Ass" Thread

[sully]

Kudos to you Ralph... I'd been debating about whether to do this thread myself...

Lots of bands I like have already been mentioned but here are some others I can think of (lots of 'Glam-Pop/Metal' in there for good measure too :ROTF:


Tigertailz (Just HAD to put this one in :ROTF - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fiJUlXeWPY

While Kim hooker had a better voice than steevi, i think liked the first record better. sadly, i couldn't find any video of star attraction, or hollywood killer, or the original version of fall in love again, but they were fun as hell.

Firehouse

- oh god, man! NO!

LA Guns - the 1st version

hell yes. the first two records were fuckin' great.

Vain

dug vain a lot. no respect was a good record.

Johnny Crash - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqNrlBKdD-o

lived with their guitar player when i was hollywood street trash. that guy is such a great player. he now has a tattoo ink company.

Lillian Axe - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc8Gifuws-A

bought the first record because robbin produced it. loved dream of a lifetime. kinda lost interest after the first record, but that first one was really solid.

here's a couple that i liked back then:

Alot of this stuff isn't that "pussified" at all..it could easily be on the other thread!

[Ralph E.]

I didn't want to hijack that thread, even though I don't like that kinda stuff doesn't mean the thread doesn't have any value to others.

I've always thought about having a pinned thread with all sorts of obscure bands based on style. I think it's cool to turn people on to stuff they may not have heard of. For example, Sully turned me on to Johnny Crash. There's always another band you didn't know about.

[Frigo89]

tons of people mention the Killer Dwarfs but fail to spell the name right! LOL

GREAT band, and they didnt use spell check on the original band name, as it is "Killer Dwarfs", as opposed to Dwarves

Roxy Blue was great

Tora Tora was great

White Lion was great

Enuff Z'Nuff = great

I can't give Tesla the name "hair metal" with an honest heart, but GREAT band

Stryper, Ugly Kid Joe, HELIX

fuck there was a lot of great bands

[Racerx2k]

Does anybody remember The Tygers of Pan Tang ?

John Sykes, right? If I remember, correctly.

[Racerx2k]

Heaven's Edge - GOOD CALL. They were awesome. SOme of the bands showing up on your list are a little "not 80's..." though - like Circle II Circle. Couple more...

Firehouse
Winger (I know - but "PULL" rocked!! Warrant was great too...)
Black n Blue
Slave Raider (local - they sucked but had a HUGE following)
Prophet
Madame X
Warlock (kinda more "power metal" though...)
LA Guns - the 1st version
Dokken - with Lynch & Pilson
Autograph
Honeymoon Suite
Roxanne
Icon
Femme Fatale
Poison (hate to say that...)
Banshee
Blonz
Cinderella
Cold Sweat
COntraband
Europe
Jailhouse
Kick Axe
Motley
Roxy Blue
Shy/ Shy England
Slik Toxik
Steelheart
TNT
Trouble Tribe
Vain
Wild Horses

Damn, Chris is just TEARING IT UP! So much so, that I read his lists, and gave up even contributing, cause he already covered so many of the ones I was gonna say. Kudos!

[Racerx2k]

Kix was fun. I saw them open for either Great White or Cinderella.

Me too. And I can't remember which one it was, either, here. Damn it!

Either way, Kix was a great band, and I never understood why they never got any bigger than they did. I STILL blast "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" on a regular basis. Great song. Now "Body Talk"? Eh........not so great......

[Racerx2k]

Well, just because I have the CD doesn't mean I'm a fan. But I really cannot remember where I got it. It's the original pressing so it's the older one not a reissue. But I know I didn't buy it back then. Who knows how I got it.

No Tigertailz. Sorry. That was the band with Pepsi Tate, right? Didn't he just pass away?

Another band no one has mentioned.

TNT! One of the better guitarists and singers of that time, IMHO.

Behold the glory!

Oh God, Tigertailz?! Ugh, that was the one album I took a chance on, and LOST! Well, that and TT Quick's "Metal Of Honor". Yikes!
Yes, Pepsi Tates WAS in that band. Don't know about his current status, though.
TNT is one of THEE best. Ronnie Le Tekro was one of my first influences, with his rapid muted picking and squeels, LONG before Zakk. Tony had one of the best rock voices, too, IMHO.

Ok, i'm done, and that took way longer than I thought!

Another Dave Scott fan? Sweet. Another band that shoulda been bigger. "Tonight, Tonight" is still a fav.

[chrisolson]

TNT is one of THEE best. Ronnie Le Tekro was one of my first influences, with his rapid muted picking and squeels, LONG before Zakk. Tony had one of the best rock voices, too, IMHO.

Have you heard their "My Religion" cd? Probably one of their best yet. I haven't heard the one with Tony Mills from Shy though.

Damn, Chris is just TEARING IT UP! So much so, that I read his lists, and gave up even contributing, cause he already covered so many of the ones I was gonna say. Kudos!

Live it, love it!! It's about all I listen to.

[chrisolson]

Firehouse...

- oh god, man! NO!

Hey, they had a few, and they are one of the tightest, most professional bands I've had the pleasure of seeing live!! It's not all "wedding songs"... "Reach for the Sky" rocks, as does "Shake and Tumble". That's the stuff by Firehouse that I listen to!

[Ralph E.]

Firehouse rocks, and Leverty is a great player.

[Franx]

John Sykes, right? If I remember, correctly.

Correct ! I saw them opening for Gillan in '80 or '81 and didn't know anything about them. They were awesome !

Now that I think about it, I may have seen them once with Great White and another time with Cinderella. After turning 21 in '93, a lot of those club days were a drunken haze! :ROTF:
