Greatest Hair Metal bands

When I heard Firehouse, I knew hair metal was dead. When cheap knock-off's like Warrant start spawning their own cheap knock-off's, you know things have just gone too far.

What more could you want in a band?

My wife thinks he's hot.

Twisted Sister is the ultimate hair band they are second to none.

Has she seen him lately?


Btw, the question starting this thread is a trick, to which you all fell prey. There is no such thing as a "best" hair band. They all stink.

(remember, AC/DC is NOT a hair band. A short guy in a school uniform band maybe, but not a hair band, and it is very cute that BDB thought it might be becasue they didn't come along until AFTER the hair band craze)

They were not heavy metal by any stretch of the imagination, but the band 'Nelson' did have some beautiful, free flowing blonde hair: http://www.thenelsonbrothers.com/photos/may92.jpg

Wrong. Best is a relative term. That's why I changed it from great.

Brett was on one of those VH1 list type shows where they have a bunch of minor celebrities talking about stuff. She said he was hot. I don't think she knew about them during their prime.

I believe AC/DC has been around since the early 70's. WAY before the hair metal craze. BTW BDB, if you really want to experience AC/DC, check out High Voltage.

I suppose you're correct, although winning this title might be like crowing about being the tallest building in Clovis, New Mexico. True but still insignificant.

GNR started on the hair band route. If you see their photos from before the first album it's pretty funny. But Slash alone made them 10X more talented than any hairband around. I put them in the same category as an AC/DC just good old fashioned rock and roll. Except in the case of GNR I like more than two of their songs.

LOL, how did I miss that?
