the way it all started for me, was wht some may call hair metal. i listened to my parents listen to bands such as poison, def leppard, Van Halen ( tho theyre not hair metal), ozzy (a la shot in the dark and mama im comin home), the scorpions, etc.
but i gave tht up (cept van halen of course), thinkin it was "pussy music". but lately thte majority of songs i listen to consist of dokken, skid row, tesla, ozzy, queensryche, and bands such as these.
i dont listen to poison tho because they suck and brett michaels is a washed up sell out. C.C. is pretty cool tho.
but to those who think the way i used to, listen to the music. you may find as i did tht many of these songs are actually pretty kick ass. the solos are some of the best solos to ever grace my ears. and many of the bands paved the way for many new bands and genres. so yea i listen to "hair metal", its good. dont care if u think less of me for it.
Hair Metal is 'Pussy music', as in it is supposed to get the bands a shit load of pussy. I've not heard a lot of Poison but you can't dispute that 'Talk Dirty To Me' and 'Nothing But A Good Time' are nothing other than great songs. You can hate the band members, but not the music.
Try and get your hands on some Firehouse, RATT and Stryper albums/songs. They're 3 pretty good bands if you're into big hair and 30 second guitar solos.
