What killed Hair Metal?

:ROTF: Beavis and Butthead Killed Hair Metal...:ROTF:

hair metal killed hair metal

Exactly what I was gonna say!

[LastInLine]

I loved the 80s. But hair metal killed hair metal. As the decade wore on, the bands got less and less talented, and more and more lame.

The most plausible explanation IMO. It got to the point where anyone with big hair, makeup and a ballad got signed and put out a record. The record companies milked 'Hair Metal" for every dime it was worth and then Nirvana showed up, "grunge" was born and every band with a flannel shirt was signed and put out a record, the record companies milked it for every dime it was worth and then Limp Bizkit showed up, "Rap Metal" was born etc.........

I think those white leather suits Warrant wore did more damage than Cherry Pie.

Most of the stuff has been said here,
- The ballads
- The asshole drummer from Poison wearinga a police hat 3 sizes to small
- The sutty playing of CC Devile
- The make up
- The record companies

Seattle grunge... most noteably... Nirvana.... killed hair metal.
The record companies did too because they saw an opportunity to hitch a ride on an entirely new younger audience.
They are still doing it. Its called emo now. All the kiddies love those emo bands.

CC Deville is a great player. Poison was a great band. They didn't kill anything.

+100

Yes they did, they sucked monkey balls.
I've tried man, I've tried to get into their "music".... they just sucked.

They couldn't hold a dirty jock strap to Ratt, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, etc.

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but I have heard C.C. himself admit that he is not a great player. I do agree however, that Poison is not responsible for killing Hair Metal.
