It's been happening for quite a while now. I feel i've exhausted all the good stuff and the newer metal really doesn't appeal to me at all it seems very childish/nu metal like.
So i've started looking for some Hair/Glam stuff after really getting into Steel Panther a few months back its made me want to explore more.
And im incredibly happy with the way things are moving on.
I've spent the entire day learning Dokken, Lita Ford, Ratt, Whitesnake etc!
I don't really know any/much music that isn't metal so if anyone can give me a few recomendations of things to check out as i started learning the above from a very arbitrary list of top glam/hair songs
-
Michael Schenker would be tops on my list. Into the Arena is chock full of licks!

As always (:lol:) I am forced to respond that there's vast amounts of great new metal if you want to look for it. If you don't that's fair enough, but it's there if you have the impulse. Most of the good stuff is far more grown up than that of the 80's and 90's, too :lol:

Oh no ive looked for it. It just generally isn't what i like. Metalwise i generally just listen to thrash and power metal and all the more modern bands doing this just really dont do it for me.

Listen to Jon & let him teach you the true meaning of the Force.... HE IS YOUR MASTER NOW!

Please avoid using hair metal as a term - it is viewed as a pejorative term by those actually into the music of the era
We know what you mean by it but it's a bit like using the equivalent of the "N word" if you know what I mean.
Whereas glam rock was something that sat ok with fans of that era to some extent
It was a term that was bandied about by those who didn't care for the music - and really wasn't used till grunge reared it's head, although some thrash fans may have also used it to separate themselves from those who liked the more flamboyant approach to their presentation.
Most fans who were there at the time and listened to this style of music just called it hard rock or even metal.
There were a lot of not so good bands (like in any era) and many bands that were just straight metal bands that saw that the "lazy" record companies were seeming to sign anything in tight trousers with eyeliner and backcombed hair, so kind of jumped on the glam rock bandwagon.
Oh and while I was posting - a few extras spring to mind :
Rainbow - Dio era, Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner too
Yngwie Malmsteen - debut album, marching out, trilogy and Odyssey
DIO - everything , but first 3 albums in particular
Iron Maiden - first 6 albums
WASP
Black n Blue
House of lords
Lizzy Borden - visual lies
This will warm you up for more
Hear n Aid (the heavy rock band aid single - quite a few stars involved here)

Cheers Jonathan.
I only actually used that term due to the way i've always heard anyone refer to it. But i can see you point
-

If you needed an easy way to get what Kiss were about then listen to
Kiss Alive 1 (not Alive 2/3/4)
Creatures of the night
Revenge
Sonic Boom
Paul Stanley's 1978 solo album
Ace Frehley's 1978 solo album
or get KISS GOLD (double CD) - this is pretty good with remastered versions from the first era 1973-1981

Oh no ive looked for it. It just generally isn't what i like. Metalwise i generally just listen to thrash and power metal and all the more modern bands doing this just really dont do it for me.
The sooner power metal rots and dies the better and I've little time for many of the bigger new thrash bands but no love for folks like Toxic Holocaust, Skeletonwitch, Municipal Waste, Pitiful Reign, Amok, SSS, Mutant, Bludvera, Nebukadnezza, Hospital Of Death, Ravens Creed, Warpath, Flayed Discciple, Nuclear, Warbringer?
Some of those are pretty small and it's stuff off the top of my head but I'd like to hope there's something for a fan of pretty much any brand of thrash, from the just-off-NWOBHM to the Possessed-ish.
-
You need Slough Feg in your life.

I agree with everything Jon has said.
To add.. If you want to taste the Harder side of the genre start with the following master pieces.
WASP - Headless Children
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGhpoLF8nj0&feature=related
Skid Row - Slave to the Grind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAb3lovDp2c
Both are the bands at the top of their game, melodic and HEAVY! \m/
Plus Lynch Mob - Wicked Sensation... The master:
http://youtu.be/5-QHZzWRp0o
Danger Danger - Beat The Bullet (LIVE)
Awesome Andy Timmons !!!
http://youtu.be/Cvc5pHMSewk
-
Queensryche - rage for order, opeeration mindcrime, Empire , promised land
Oh man you can't leave Warning out. Awesome album! Rightly though, everything since Promised Land is patchy at best.

I know of most of those. Especially Pitiful Reign & HOD great guys that are a good laugh in both bands. I think i'm just outgrowing all the heaviness in general. I must be getting old! Either that or its because of the strat...

They make Manowar look straight!
Nothing could make Manowar look straight.....

seems very childish
Steel Panther
seems very childish and steel panther in same sentence. arnt they the definition of childish...lol.....with songs like Girl From Oklahoma....i think so.....
if your not into metal.....you are not my friend.....heavy metal....or no metal at all.......(manowar) :lol:
if you want really give metal a rest...then try these folk bands.....yes i said folk......i find it great for relaxing and drinking....
good intro and not too "folky" is
The Avett Brothers - Emotionalism
Langhorne Slim - Be Set Free
-
Yeah, I was wondering about stepping right off the path as well, and going for something completely different like folk.
The reason I didn't post earlier is because I would have said "blues" - and I can't remember whether you're one of the guys where "blues" turns you off.
But definitely consider going right off the path of metal/rock - or go further back into the early-mid 70s with it, anything to change the scenery.
I've found in the past that if you do go looking elsewhere, find something to connect with and get into another type of music as well, you'll soon be enjoying your usual stuff again. Music, especially if you make it yourself, is like a journey. If you keep going on the same journey over and over and over, never going anywhere else, it can lose its appeal. If instead you leave it for a while and go somewhere else, when you come back to it, you'll love it for a whole load of different reasons.

Steel panther for me is a transitional band as such.
I think one of the biggest things i've got sick of is all the chest beating that goes on. Theres this overly macho image that goes with the whole metal scene that just seems so false.
Especially the local metal scene. It's as if everyone thinks they have something to prove

Steel Panther ....childish?!! :P
Yeah I suppose they may be....although having a sense of humour and not taking myself ( & my 80s glam rock persona) too seriously I revel in the tongue in cheek self mockery of it all.
It's about having fun surely and they certainly do that , as do their audience.
Goodness knows I feel like a bit of escapism from the drudge of day to day life.
I also know when a band rocks like a bar-steward, and Steel Panther do that - both on record and live.
Superb playing !
I used to be a bit tribal over music when I was younger
I was so invested in the bands I liked I kind of resented thrash and later grunge and Nu-metal when it came along.
But as I got a bit older I saw the folly of that and found myself realising that I was missing out on some good music by being blinkered.
There is a lot of thrash that I like and certainly lots of the better grunge like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden etc.
I find now that if I like something, I like it - doesn't matter what genre it falls into.
It may be just the one track by an artist rather than their entire albums etc
If I like a melody or a riff or vocal style then I like it.
Really liking the System of a Down stuff that my workmate plays on the workshop stereo of late.
Loving the new Accept album - really freaking amazing!
Looking forward to seeing Night Ranger, Y&T, Judas Priest, MSG, Europe etc later in the year.
Also enjoy the old school soul and R&B/Motown stuff my girlfriend likes.
Music should move you, and I find that some bands sadly only do "ANGRY" as an emotion, and sometimes I want to listen to bands that make me feel happy or like dancing - so variety comes in handy.

Yeah I get tired of people referring to "hair metal" in a sneering way - overlooking the awesome musicianship that was on display and only seeing the presentation aspect.
Okay the N-word reference was maybe a bit strong on my part, but it's a negative dismissive term usually
I also get pissed off when guys say I like Whitesnake (or whoever) in a "post-modern ironic kind of way", like they have to feel shamefaced about it.
It's just music, some of it had pathos, some was rude and much was tongue in cheek, and some was silly (but fun)
It's almost like a feminist agenda got it all seen as misogynistic drivel that must be stamped out, and that to now admit you like the tunes you have to apologise for it.
It's just music - if you like it , then enjoy it.
I don't see fans of gangsta rap apologising for the content of their favourite artists (or death metal for that matter)
-
I have never and will never be ashamed.
If anything I'm listening to the music and living the lifestyle MORE these days than when I was younger.. I don't have the perm anymore but have much more casual sex.. PDT_003
Though after last bankholiday weekend of drinking, fighting and shagging - I've been stuck crippled in bed with a compressed disk, I'm too old for this sh1t.. (I did get back to my own bed before the booze wore off).

compressed disk?
Have you tried WinZip?

Ha, ha... I don't think that would work as I'm certain my disk is corrupted (just like the rest of me)

A few more bands I don't think have been mentioned already:
Quiet Riot
Aviator
Autograph
Extreme (don't forget Nuno!)
Saigon Kick
Little Caesar
Vandenberg (Euro hard rock in the UFO/Schenker/Scorpions mould)
Bonfire
Coney Hatch
Tesla (first two albums are immense, and chock full of guitar)

Double take on that one Kip IS Snake Plisskin!
Hi, my name is John and I've had the mixed pleasure of seeing Winger live a few times...
First time, at the height of their powers at some student refectory or something... Utterly wall to wall totty. Didn't know to look at the band or the audience. They were pretty good to be fair.
Next time they were a support act for Scorpions and they were dreadful (Scorpions were made of purest awesome)
Then Kip Winger solo accoustic at a multi band thing (including the band that did the Limara advert, sweet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL7GOVoA2_o Though looking that up, that was Stevie Lange rather than a band.) where to be fair, he was bloody good!
Last time was at FireFest (80's hair metal-tastic) and they had the pleasure of following Gotthard, who'd just come out with a show that would have made Aerosmith look like poor showmen. Stood by the sound desk, watched their tech just about max everything. They came out and proceeded to suck at at a painfully loud level and get bitchy about it.
BUT, and I stand by this, Pull is one of the greatest hair rock albums ever made. Not a bad track on that bad boy. Brilliant stuff.

Try some funk from the 70's. Some of its really good. Have a listen to Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. Give it a few spins to get used to it as its a bit out there but its worth it. :)

Check out a song by Avantasia called the Scarecrow. Love that song!

Check out a song by Avantasia called the Scarecrow. Love that song!
Avantasia did a lot of great stuff. Tobias Sammet is an amazing musician.
Avantasia started out with great power metal and went progressivly more towards pop-ish melodic epicness like in an opera or musical.
And scarecrow especially rocks.
Should you like Avantasia also check out Edguy, Sammets first band. Avantasia is more of an all-star project, while Edguy is a classic band.
Tinitus Sanctus and Hellfire Club are both great albums for example.
Check out their songs Pride of Creation, Speedhoven and Lavatory Love Machine!
-
I love Edguy too. Tobias Sammet is a bloody good frontman too. We actually named our cat after him haha
