Nothing wrong with hair metal. Motley Crue toured with Ozzy in the 80's. Motley Crue was one of the best bands in the 80's. I don't see anyone ever bash Ozzy. Look up some of Ozzys pictures from Ultamate Sin and No Rest For The Wicked.

I wouldn't call these guys wussies

To be fair there isn't much to debate here other than mention how cheesy Joey Tempest of Europe looked..

Actually Id consider Europe to be one of the most talented hair metal bands, the Final Countdown may be all they are known for but they wrote a lot of solid, decent, un-glam metal (Scream of Angers a damn good song, Arch Enemy did a particularly good cover)

I've only heard Final Countdown (of course) and that awful ballad Carrie... I may have to check out the original Scream of Angers since I thought the Arch Enemy cover was amazing...

People focus so much on the hard-rock-influenced pop groups like Poison, Warrant and Motley Crue that they overlook some pretty good stuff.

Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry album was much more than "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" (both of which the radio beat almost completely to death)... "Captain Howdy" and "Street Justice" kicked serious a**.

Extreme's first album had some amazing stuff on it. Check out "Play With Me".

Positively speaking, it opened the door for the popularity of metal in general. Bands that couldn't get airplay with the syrupy-saccharine pop that still dominates radio today were featured on Z-Rock.

It's a shame that it burned itself out before it matured. The image was just way too much to overcome (especially when you had some groups like Britney Fox wondering, "Are those chicks or are they really guys?").

In fact they specifically dubbed themselves 'Funky Metal' and self-proclaimed magnum opus "III Sides to Every Story" contains very little of what you could label as such, most songs taking a heavier/proggier approach.

Nuno Bettencourt is one of histories greatest guitarists though, anyone not indoctrinated must go and listen.

Gotta get up in a few hours... but one more post...

Seriously, no album title in history has ever said 'Were nearly done here' quite so blatantly. I still havent heard the new one, or purchased their first live DVD. Might have to treat myself this week.

Can you believe Bettencourts supporting bloody Rihanna? She should be thanking him for even deigning to consider bringing such incandescent, genuine talent within 10 miles of one of her gigs. LeonardHatred

Bettencourt opening for... that's like Mozart opening for Cannibal Corpse. The two do not mesh. Who put that tour together, Spongebob Squarepants?!?

I got a friend of mine to give me a listen to his copy of Saudades de Rock (Extreme's latest CD) and I wasn't really that impressed. It seemed to lack the passion of Pornografitti or III Sides To Every Story. I'd even go so far as to say ...Punchline was better.

That was just on a first listen, though, and I've been known to change my mind on an album after a few more tries.

In that vein... I was going through some old cassettes to see if I had the corresponding CDs, and found another hair-metal band (Savatage) that was progressing to better things. Check out "24 Hours Ago" from Hall of the Mountain King, and how much of a step up that was from the sheer cheese of "Fight For The Rock."

Hell, they've endured so well, they're (sort of) stealingfromthemselvesfrequently (I can think of more examples than those 4, if you need them).
