Hair Metal is BACK!

[Zenith.UK]

I just caught this on Scuzz tonight and it put a BIG smile on my face. It tears into just about every mainstream rock genre with loads of swearing, but more importantly... they have HAIR and SPANDEX!

Yes, the 80's are back with a vengeance!

Warning! Swearing and bad lyrics!

I really don't find Sarah Silverman funny, but she is hot, so props to them for getting her in their vid.

 

[megadave]

thought it was going to be shit but it cracked me up

 

[Litmus]

Dling the album atm, seen these advertised.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well it wasn't really gone at any point, but more the merrier

This band has been around with various names too.

 

[Dark Orb Choir]

cool, i can use wikipedia too, let share our lives together and enjoy the harmony that oneness can bring - my cock is community property

You relly don'y have anything better to do then try and flame me for things i don't say?

I said that "hair" metal hasn't gone anywhere, and the part about even that band being around with other names is "aquired knowledge".

So?

Did i say i was a superfan of that band? Did i say i've been following that band before? No.

 

[Dark Orb Choir]

i am not trying to flame you at all, that would be against the CoC and i would get an infraction, we can't have that can we.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Actually i'd say if you keep it up, it can venture into the harassment section, if any.

Since it seems you only come to threads to flame me personally.

I don't think this thread is about wikipedia tbh, so no one is really interested that you can use it.

Jesus Mary and Joseph, sigh

Shush!
You know it.
I know it.
Not everyone else does.

(Says the bloke with shoulder length hair)

Metal was never gone, but I think hair metal is kinda getting a bit more attention recently. For example bands like motley crue, def leppard, whitesnake, and europe are all playing metal festivals this year.

True story: Mate of mine was a hardcore hair-metal fan (he's quite thin and effeminite), and had his shaved down to No. 1 after being mistaken for a woman and having his arse firmly grabbed by a guy stood behind him at a concert who thought he was a chick.

The hair is not your friend.

No, the guy wasn't me you sick fucks.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Binary, that's no metal head, he's a pansy.

One of the best parts is when that happens you can turn around, go "Oh darling, you're not my type" in a manly voice while storking your beard and watch the face go from "ooh ass!" to "ooh ASS!"

Zenith, apologies, i didn't know we had non-believers here who could not know the secrets of the govenant of metal.

Ahem...excuse me...

Govenant of *grabs groin and screams* METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!

Better.

I still hate this "hair" metal labeling. It's rock, glam rock at worst, but simply rock. Or metal.

Also "hate" terms like; speed metal, grunge metal, punk metal etc.

It's simply just; rock, metal, industrial(or zombie as i prefer).

But then again, i'm old school and dislike any terms that divide metal into this and that

When people ask me what i listen, i say "rock and metal", if they ask what kind, i say "loud"

I agree hair metal should be called glam rock. I also agree that 'speed/grunge/punk metal' are not real metal subgenres. However metal sub genres do exist and are useful when trying to get an idea of what a band sounds like or whether you will like them.
Listen to Iron Maiden and then listen to Cannibal Corpse; they are both metal bands but they are so very different that clearly more words than just 'metal' is needed.
Hence real sub genres such as Death Metal, Black Metal or Thrash Metal.

If someone asks what I like I generally just say "metal" because it would be stupid (and take a long time) to list all the different terms when they mostly just come under metal anyway.

Aye, it is useful in some situations, mostly in exact band style things. But what really irks my butthocks is the general use of it as so;

"Do you like metal?"
"Some, like death metal."
"So like megadeathwar3000?"
"Megadeathwar3000 isn't death metal stupid! It's skullmetal!"

Kinda want to slap people for that sometimes, you know, situations when people get too proud of some subgenre that shouldn't be a subgenre at all

Yeah I know what you mean:
"That's not grindcore, it's goregrind!"
"Oh I don't listen to Doom metal, I only like Funeral Doom."

 

[old.Tohtori]

Not to mention the always fun;

"I listen to rock."
"Really?"
"Yeah, i love blink 182!"

Don't know which is worse to be honest

YOU UNDERSTAND!!!!
It's a similar story with emo kiddies saying they're not goth. No, wearing dark clothing, wearing your hair flopped over your face and eyeliner hasn't been done before at all.... in the last 20-25 years. :lol:

I only used the term hair metal because people instantly understand what you mean. It's metal with people with big hair (and by implication spandex and bandanas).

It's also *my* type of music. Old school 80's bands like Aerosmith, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, early G'n'R, Van Halen (when David Lee Roth was the front man), Scorpions and of course.... Motley Crue.

 

[TheBinarySurfer]

So lets be clear Tohtori, you've been cupped by a bloke at a concert too?

And wall of amp. Lets not forget the wall of amp! (just watch any hair metal video from Whitesnake to The Darkness - always wall of amp at some point!).

Bar actually, but that's just 'cause my ass is so amazing

Question is, did you get some wood before you realised it was a man. And does that make you gay if so?

Nah, my lil fella checks with my brain before releasing the docking clamps.

Sarah Silverman would get splashed, even if she is a complete bitch.
