Metal Expert Says Each Hair Metal Band Had '2 or 3 Good Songs,' Names the Most 'Authentic' Band in the Genre
'You have to judge a band by their greatest hits record.'

@Theblueone @TheMetalDog Who had the best hair in the '80s? Sebastian Bach, Nuno, and Tony Harnell are the first three that pop into my head. Who else?

gogmagog,
@gogmagog@dizl.de avatar

@Theblueone @TheMetalDog Personally, I consider the term "hair metal" to mean glam or glam-adjacent bands, which eliminates Dokken and Tesla and GnR, but to most people it means any rock which came out in the '80s that isn't Maiden or Metallica.

@gogmagog@dizl.de avatar

@TheMetalDog @Theblueone I agree. I'm pretty sure it was an '90s invention, a derogatory phrase meant to belittle any '80s band that had a few hits as not serious or worthy of praise. And for the most part it worked.

@Theblueone @TheMetalDog Dokken's Tooth And Nail rips from start to finish, and I don't think Warrant's Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich has a bad song on it either.

Weekend Poll: What Was The Best Release Of 1984?
Back when metal was just starting to bubble up.

@bstrange @TheMetalDog How do I even choose??? I spent hours trying to track down a record store that carried Ride The Lightning, and I listened to Stay Hungry on repeat on my Walkman during a 10-hour drive in the car on a family vacation. Still listen to Tooth And Nail, The Warning and Slide It In ALL THE TIME. And I haven't gotten to Powerslave yet.

But I'll vote for Knights Of The New Thunder. It sounds like TNT's later releases, which I also like. More nordic power metal than pop rock.

@TheMetalDog @bstrange Loads of great non metal released in 1984, too, including two of the most fun songs I know ... "Girls With Guns" and "Run Runaway."

Also a good year for Canadians. Honeymoon Suite's debut came out in 1984, as well as Triumph's Thunder Seven, Bryan Adams's Reckless and Kim Mitchell's Akimbo Alogo. Been 40 years and I still haven't mastered the opening riff to "Go For Soda."

@nba Probably too much to expect for the Pacers to beat the Bucks twice in a week (and three times on the season).

@TheMetalDog This is among the best live albums I've ever heard. Maybe topped only by one of the soundboard boots from Rush's Permanent Waves tour.

The group Ozzy Osbourne called the "next Rolling Stones"
Ozzy Osbourne had a pedigree as a certified rock god, but he thought these newcomers could have matched The Rolling Stones if they had stayed together.

@TheMetalDog Nice to see the obligatory "hair metal" reference in that article. You know who is still together ....? Winger.

Still listen to that band because Reb Beach still shreds.

CARMINE APPICE Says He Never Heard Back From NIKKI SIXX About His 'Jam-Off' Challenge
Carmine Appice says that he couldn't believe it when Nikki Sixx called him "a washed-up drummer" in response to comments he made about Mick Mars's exit from MÖTLEY CRÜE. When Mars, a co-founding member of MÖTLEY CRÜE, announced his retirement from touring with the group in October 2022 as a result...

@TheMetalDog If they ever need a third, I'm available. Not a drummer, but I'm sure I can pick up two sticks and sound like I'm in a bad Rush tribute band.
