The "80's Glam Metal Listening Pussified Ass" Thread

[Ralph E.]

Gemini Five "Sex Drugs Anarchy". The best sleeze metal record i've ever heard, in the vein of Shotgun Messiah and early Motley Crue.

[wreckingcrew]

I love me some glam metal

[gregthatshreds]

Lord tracy, ex pantera singer, and one awesome bass player named barney (Billy Sheehan type with a wammy bar)

hehe, judt caught this thread, man i loved the cheesy 80's rock, some of my favourites:

skid row, extreme, mr. big, alice cooper, def leppard

poison was big too but i wasnt a big poison fan.

whitesnake was awesome too \m/

"edit"

i must say, i feel nuno bettencourt is probably one of the most underrated players ever, amazing guitarist and excellent work inall of his bands from extreme to drama gods to mourning widows to satellite party. Love his work

[John.E.Fawkes]

l, i have lots of vinyls by alot of the bands mentioned here
if nobody has mentioned them already, check out romeo's daughter, female fronted but an AWESOME aor band!
also, if your into AOR check out a song called "the one and only" by a band called "zero" its a fucking AWESOME song! i love it anyway, such a good production, yet i cant find anything else by the band, does anybody have anything else by em?
peace

This is too cool! You guys have reminded me of a bunch of bands I'd forgotten and turned me on to some I wasn't familiar with.

Does anyone remember Burning Starr? Jack Starr formed the band after leaving Virgin Steele. His guitar work was killer, and he found a truly wailing vocalist in Mike Tirelli. "No Turning Back" in particular was one of my favorites.

Yep, my ol' best friend played bass for him.

That's awesome, man! Very cool band. Gotta find CDs of "No Turning Back" and "Blaze Of Glory". My cassette copies died ages ago!

Anyone mention Vicious Rumors? They might be considered too heavy to be called a "hair band" but they still rocked. Mark McGee and Geoff Thorpe were one kick-ass guitar duo!

Don't you dare mention Vicious Rumors in this god forsaken thread!!!

I have ALL VR stuff from SOTN w/ Vinnie Moore to Warball with Brad Gillis.

But I'll mention this little 80's tidbit. This is from Adam Bomb's "Fatal Attraction" release featuring Jimmy Crespo. He's the one who took Joe Perry's place in Aerosmith on "Rock in a hard place".. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb-We...eature=related

How about the brothers of Cavazo and Sarzo..in this version of Hurricane. This vid was on MTV..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DssSC...eature=related

[Tekky]

I've always liked Hurricane. Sucks that the vultures over on Half.com aren't letting go of their CDs for mucho dinero. Kinda kills the half of half.com.

[Rupe]

Harry Cody was amazing...what ever happened to him?

[gdog]

Ummmmm
Dio
Early Scorpions
Budgie
Sabbath
Y&T
MSG
UFO
Accept

Let me turn my hearing aid up and I will have a few more

Trying to think of stuff that hasn't been mentioned is the hard part. I really like the 80's stuff. I grew up and learned how to play guitar throughout that whole era. My favorite album to this day is still Back for the Attack-Dokken.

Here's a few I'm pulling out of my memory banks that may or may not have been mentioned:

Sleeze Bee's
Arcade-S.Pearcy's early 90's side project
Autograph-the band with the "other" Lynch
Banshee-really had some good tunes
Shadow King-Vivian Campbell side project/studio only
Vinnie Vincent Invasion-yes, I'll admit, I really like that first album for reasons unknown!

Here's a few for any fellow upstate New Yorkers:

Blitzen-excellent band. Their singer later went on to own a recording studio and recorded my band's first album

Maxx Thrust-another really good band from my neck of the woods

and then there's the band I'm in that has been around since '91/'92

UNTAYMED

our image has sure changed but the music is still in the same format and that's how we like it!

IMO though, my favorite album to come out (in the 80's style) is the : Marcello/Vestry album.
