Motley Crue, “Girls Girls Girls.”
Btw, try having my name at the height of Poison’s popularity (regarding ERHIT).
“Heh heh, you like that song don’t you Rose… eeeeevery Rooooose has it’s thooooorn… heh heh heh.”
Over and over and over and… edged out for first place, however, by Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose,” which is not hair metal so I’ll be quiet now 
plnnr, that was “Here I Go Again” by Whitesnake.
Why do I know that…
ToF just walked by me singing “BRING YOUR DAUGHTER TO THE SLAUGHTER” 
plnnr There was also the other video with Coverdale pulling the amazing looking Tawny up a bed onto him. [sub]Hmmmmmmmmmm I wish I wasn’t in work at the mo. [/sub] 
Probably because it was ubiquitous at the time.
I’ve got Autograph in my head right now.
Turn up the Radio!
yojimbo, was that the video for “Is this love”?
And for some more office fun in Dublin:
LOVE IS RAZOR AND I’VE WALKED THE LINE ON THAT SILVER BLADE…
Coming Home by Cinderella and now, thanks to Coldfire, Unskinny Bop by Poison!
I have to say, I love the hair bands. I was one of the teeny boppers who fell in love with every long haired lead singer there was. (with a few exceptions. Have you ever seen Dee Snyder without his make-up… yuck!) I went to see Dokken, Cinderella, Slaughter, and Poison in concert last year. :eek: That Bret Michaels is still a hotty… I’d do him anyday.
I Liked Twisted Sister…
How about (I forget the name) by W.A.S.P.?(the one where they were playing on a mountain in the video)
What? No mentions of Kiss?
They were good!
Heavens on Fire was good.
The merits of hair metal? It’s cool. Nothing else need be said. As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I started humming Europe’s “Final Countdown”. Someone else typed up the rhythm, so I won’t bother, but I love that song!
November Rain by Guns & Roses
It was indeed.
How about a bit of downunder genius.
'Wanna tell you a story,
About a woman I know,
When it comes to loving,
She steals the show
God, I still love Rosie.
Once Bitten, Twice Shy was originally by the even better Ian Hunter ex-lead singer of Mott the Hoople. Same era as Slade, way much better.
uh-uh. G&R was NOT a hair metal band. No way, no sir.
And I can’t believe Bon Jovi hasn’t popped up here yet!
Baby I’m not…
F–f-f-f-f foolin
and
Rock of Ages…rock of ages…
Still rollin…rock and rollin
This thread inspired me to listen my Def Leppard Greatest Hits.
But now I have the video for “Rock of Ages” in my head with all its cheesy special effects.
Whitesnake either “Is this Love” or “Here I go again”, probably the latter.
[sub]yeah, she was was interest back then…[/sub]
[Simpsons]
Guitarist: I’d like to thank all of you for coming out for the Reunion of White Snake.
Bassist: White Snake? I thought we were Poison!
Bride: You got Poison to play at out wedding?
Guitarist: No, we’re cyanide! A loving tribute to Poison.
[/Simpsons]
must…resist…urge…to…headbang…
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
BANG YOUR HEAD!
MEATAL HEALTH WILL DRIVE YOU MAAAAAAD…
(FWIW, I still have a Quiet Riot button, and it’s in my basement…still pinned to my Mork suspenders…)
you read my mind.
Shot through the heaart, and you’re too late, darling you give looove a bad name, bad name…
*Hey, the old ones speak of winter
The young ones praise the sun
And time just slips awa-ay
Running into nowhere
Turning like a wheel
And a year becomes a da-ay
Whenever you dream
That’s when you fly
So here is a dream for just you and I
We’ll find the Sacred Heart…*
So howcum nobody mentioned Dio yet?
*There’s perfect harmony
In the rising and the falling of the sea
And as we drift along
I never fail to be astounded by the things we’ll do for promises
And a song
We are the innocent
We are the dammned
Lost in the middle of the madness
Hunted by the lion and the lamb
We bring you fantasy
We bring you pain
We’re your one great chance for a miracle
Or we will disappear
Never to be seen again
And all the fools
Sailed away…*
“Phantom of the Opera” off Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden, is, IMHO, one of the finest pieces of speed bass I’ve ever heard. Bass follows lead, at speed, with two less strings. Magnificent. Couldn’t possibly care less about the words. I had such a crush on Bruce Dern…
And last MPSIMS for this, I have irredeemably corrupted my eldest son. He’s nine, and likes it HEAVY. Rob Zombie is his current fave. Much to the horror of some less enlightened adults.
Oh yeah - redeeming value. Huhmmmmm, lemme look.
Hmmmm.
Well, in some cases it didn’t say much, but it was said coherently and sorta melodically, in a fashion in which you could actually hear the words. Mostly.
As opposed to thrash and death metal, in which the voices and guitars were so badly distorted as to make the whole thing pointless to me, anyways.
Plus, oddly enough, under all that mascara and hair, there were a couple 'r three decent poets. They figured out how to make it pay, and pay well.
GMTA.
Also, Motley Crue’s “Kickstart My Heart”
I wish to sincerely unthank you all for planting all these back into my mind after a prolonged period of blessed oblivion
Would you believe, what with all the announcements around here of the start of hurricane season (I live in the appropriate region), the latter did pop into my head today…
