80's Hard Rock/Metal for life!!

I remember seeing them in a small bar in Detroit in the early 90's I listened to them a lot back then.

Heh... I'm good friends with Brass Kitten's singer, Steve. If you like them, then you HAVE to like Wildside.

Ralph hooked me up witha copy of Beau Nasty's cd - thanks again. If you like Bonfire, you gotta get Cacumen, which was Bonfire before the name change.

Here's a couple others:

Hericane Alice
Hurricane
Pretty Maids
Rough Cutt
Aldo Nova
King Kobra
Keel
Kingdom Come
Lillian Axe
Danger Danger
Tyketto

Man, so many bands...

Keel got scared into puss Glam Metal from his Yngwie Dark Magic Steeler encounter...LOL.....

Hey, Alex! Welcome back. Now, stop being a wuss!

[Number Of The Priest]

You know, when this thread first started back in 2008, I would avoid stuff like this. Typical angst-ridden twenty-something-year-old behavior.

My tastes have expanded in the 2010s and now I'm finding myself listening to wussy stuff with keyboards, vocal harmonies, gated snare drums, and enormous hair.

It started with Iron Maiden's synth albums Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son. Keep in mind, at that time I would turn up my nose at anything that was non-guitar-focused, so it took a while for me to get into anything that sounded like keyboards.

That opened the floodgates for my undying love for Def Leppard. Then came ASAP (Adrian Smith's solo band). Then came Bon Jovi. Then the other big 80s bands that broadly get lumped into the LA/hair farmer scene, whether or not they had keyboards.

Continuing down the Def Leppard and Bon Jovi road, I discovered a subgenre called AOR which has fascinated me as I'm really into bands like FM (distantly related to Iron Maiden through Adrian Smith's ASAP), Drive She Said, and Steelhouse Lane.

Currently taking more obscure AOR suggestions, if anyone here is as huge a wuss as me to enjoy listening to that sort of melodic light rock. Whitesnake seems to have an AOR flavor to them on some of the stuff I've explored so far, so I'll continue going down that path too.

Been going to 80s metal themed live shows lately and it's bizarre to find myself headbanging harder at hair metal than with my old flame Iron Maiden, and have now concluded that the "headbangability" of certain light metal is actually higher than the Maiden favorites. Example: You can headbang easier and more vigorously to something like Skid Row's Youth Gone Wild or Def Leppard's Rock of Ages which have a more suitable tempo and steady hard-hitting beat than to Maiden's quick-tempoed classics like The Number of the Beast or The Trooper.

I thought firehouse was from north carolina?

Perry's a good friend of mine and hails from Myrtle Beach SC.

[Hellraiser6502]

Rare stuff. These guys are almost '80's pre-glam. The SHARKS (much later Shark Island) this is from a self released Vinyl 45 from 1981

Ha Ha. I never got Helloween at the time. Didn't know if they were thrashy or glam. Seemed a bit MOR to me. Anyway the chicks in their vids were always ugly so who cares. I like the bit where that guys head explodes though, is that at the start of Hallwoeen the movie? That was funny as feck.

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

An appropriate song for today:

This one was actually produce by Yngwie Malmsteen before he was known..right after Keel or Alkatraz..Third Stage Alert..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ8Xc...eature=related

Whoa!! That's one that i had completely forgotten all together, what a trip. I loved that song. Thanks Bill

I see Dave Chastain being mentioned, i gotta revisit that shit too. I think i bought everything he put out up to about 88 or 89.
