So come and discuss all things that fall under this Genre(s)
PS.-Theres been alot of posts saying that GnR isnt hair metal, thats why I put in 'sleaze rock/sleaze metal'. its simply a small term for bands like skid row, GnR, Aerosmith, and Lynch Mob, who were almost like hair metal, but with a grittier bluesier feel to it. Not so polished as alot of hair metal.
oh, and to those of you who are new to glam/sleaze and are looking for recommendations definitly go to TheRealThing, that guy knows probably more about this subject than anyone on metalstorm combined, believe me, its unholy.

alrighty then, thanks! that industrial album does sound quite appealing though - haha, I quite like industrial metal so even if its a poor album it would still be interesting hearing it I will go for the others first though EDIT: I loved the Queen cover as well of 'Tie Your Mother Down' I guess they like doing a few covers..

alright then - so far of W.A.S.P. albums, I have listened to: 'Dying For The World' 'Inside The Electric Circus' 'Still Not Black Enough' 'The Headless Children' and 'W.A.S.P.' I have a few more waiting to be listened to as well - so far I am really enjoying them. so thank you for the recommendation

Written by [user id=17278] on 15.02.2007 at 17:23 Its an amazing album...Im just surprised you left it out. And if everyone whipped out the 'Opinion' card on the forums to get out of arguments the point of the forum would be eliminated.

Account deleted Written by Doc G. on 16.02.2007 at 09:26 I agree with you (again); and I'm not trying to get out of arguments. I have all W.A.S.P. albums except Kill Fuck Die which I've already said I don't like it at all. But when I'm in the mood to listen to some W.A.S.P., I somehow end up listening to the 4 albums I mentioned. I know The Last Command is a very good album. Anyway my favourite W.A.S.P. album is The Crimson Album. A very pleasant surprise for me when I first listened to it back in 1992.  I still enjoy it after all these years. A timeless piece of work IMHO.

Written by Doc G. on 08.03.2007 at 05:03 I'll check 'em out. Anyone seen Rock of Love With Bret Michaels on VH1/internet? It's a dating show centred around everyone's favourite Poison frontman, and I've gotta tell you, it's the best TV show I've ever seen.

Written by Hyvaarin on 02.08.2007 at 17:24 Yeah be sure to just get/look into the S/T album (its the latest album), all there previous stuff is pretty much just punk.

Um, Danger Danger anyone? One of my favourite Glam Metal acts, and one that's always been very underrated, especially when their 1989 self-titled debut album is considered! Dokken are another of my favourites that haven't had much mention as yet in this thread. Their 1984 album 'Tooth and Nail' is a classic IMO, same with their 1985 release 'Under Lock and Key'. Incidentally, there was a Glam Night last night at a local club, it was fucking awesome! Everyone was dressed up for it and everything, and the music ruled.

One ov my favourites, I love them! Glam Night? haha, that sounds hilarious, I thought Metal Related things were unpopular in Australia  or is that New Zealand I'm thinking about?

Written by Judas on 24.11.2007 at 11:45 Haha, every night is glam night for me when I go to the bar, I recently dyed my hair bleache blonde and got a sweet 80s cut with bangs and all. Thats the great thing about having long hair, whenever I see these glam nights at bars and stuff all the jocks who only know motley crue (and only there greatest hits at that) show up wearing wigs and eyeliner, and then I walk in with actual hair looking like i just stepped out of Poison, it really helps the being able to pick up chicks factor.

Written by Doc G. on 26.11.2007 at 23:38 Man, that fucking sucks, not just for you but for the world of glam rock. He wasn't all that old either, I'd say like late 40s or early 50s.

@Dr. Rock: I'm in total agreement with Lowelas here, we need to see this wild hair! Glam's not dead as long as people still believe in it, and get outrageous haircuts! As for the Glam Night's we occasionally get here, well, there's this one club that serves pretty much all the Metal types in Brisbane, and while most of the time it's pretty crap and jam-packed with bogans (sort of like Australian urban hicks, for those of you who don't know what they are), ever 3 or 4 months they have a Glam Night that spices life up pretty nicely.

Written by [user id=160] on 29.11.2007 at 01:52 I just checked em out, there awesome. Im gonna be getting the album 'Deuce' ASAP. No glam rock revival bands sound exactly like the 80s sound, which is good, this band definitly has an 80s rock sound with a new heavy twist on it. The music sounds like its written by Nikki Sixx, solid.
