I was also a big fan of Motley Crue, Dokken, Van Halen, Ratt, Ozzy and some others that were hair/glam (never really understood or cared for the whole makeup thing and looking like a chick), but I always considered them just rock/hard rock.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

None of those Seattle bands sounded like each other, either."It's hard to be enigmatic if you have to go around explaining yourself all the time"

Then you have acheived great mystery. Try it! It's hilarious how well it works. You will have 14 year old zitty boys committing suicide over "your deep" lyrics.When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off. - Ace Frehley

Random thoughts:
I like saltine crackers with my cheese soup.
My dog is hairy, but he could bite everyone in the world.
Nothing to do + no friends = time, jumble sentences to get EMO/Grunge.
I like my saltine dog, just me and my cheese.
My hairy crackers bite everyone, I feel like eating the world.
Ooooh, so deep...When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off. - Ace Frehley

Alot of genres and styles just kind of automatically run the course as being the most popular, I think that was part of it.
Actually hair metal is becoming popular again among young boys, I know that because I watch videos of young boys all the time, wait a sec, that don't sound right. What I mean is alot of the new school 18 - 25 year old bmxers mention in particular Ratt and Motley Crue as stuff they like.Last edited by tanpsi; 12-16-2007, 09:05 PM.

That's why I refer to myself as an "old metal" fan.
Joe Steeler?
Hell, how do I mutli quote, anyways?
The other one was that show was "Heavy:The Story of Metal",
mentioned in another previous post.

Some teens now are hooking up with the old metal, including hair bands, and using today's chops to make it better. Someone will come along and blend it all together, the stunning chops of death metal connected with the addictive hooks of hair metal,and life will be good.

Lack of substance killed hair (pop) metal, there were a few decent bands and quite a few great guitar players but for the most part the music sucked. And like everything else nothing seems to last too long, now if rap would just go away.Last edited by blindmuddy; 12-16-2007, 09:35 PM.
