If anything, Nu-metal should be getting the criticism, this is how i see it. Glam Metal/Rock bands that are Hard Rock:ĭoesn't matter how many people discard it at not metal, it truly is apart of metal history. Glam Metal/Rock bands that are, or were atleast at some point, Heavy Metal: Glam Metal/Rock bands are neither more nor less than just Hard Rock or traditional Heavy Metal bands. The first band to use it were the finnish Hard Rock band Hanoi Rocks, and was made popular in the 80's by Mötley Crüe, but the whole concept behind it was probably influenced by KISS. Glam Metal/Rock, also known by the MTV term " Hair Metal", is, contrary to popular belief, a Rock N' Roll fashion statement, and not a genre. Some Glam Metal bands: Kix, Warrant, Bon Jovi, Babylon A.D, Cinderella, W.A.S.P., XYZ, and guess what, even Ozzy Osbourne went Glam in the 80's and he practically INVENTED the whole Metal genre. And after Cobain killed himself all the ghetto CRap/Hip Hop, wimpy Boy Bands, and generic Alternative Rock BS took over the Radio stations. Being a flannel wearing depressed loser suddenly became the "in" thing. Something people have forgotten about in 2012. Only a few bands such as Motley Crue, Poison, Tigertailz, etc went all out with the Glam image, and if you can't tell they are men then you're an idiot! The image was meant to give a wild impression, to shock people, to be different. And for all the idiots who think it was all make-up, spandex, and "looking like a chick", you're wrong. Basiclly this genre was about partying, keeping people entertained, and having a FUN time in a relatively DULL decade. Also the Power Ballad, a slower but heavy song was quite common too. Unique riffs and hooks, with awesome shredded guiar solos were the norm. and took the 70's Glam Rock style and mixed it with a heavier sound.
Glam Metal was the most popular form of Heavy Metal before Grunge ruined everything in the early 90's. Those who hate it and say it sucks obviously know nothing about pre-1990's Metal, and must think the whole Metal genre is based around Goth Devil worshipers and suicide/depression. Also known as Hair Metal or Sleaze Metal. "Glam Metal" faggots often got scared when they saw a metalhead or heard actual Metal such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, Dio, King Diamond, Vio-Lence, Annihilator, Venom, Metal Church, Accept, Suicidal Tendencies, Queensryche, and Helloween.Ī Genre of Heavy Metal popular from 1981-1992. The solos are not bad, but still relatively mediocre. The vocals induce cringing whenever heard, the riffs are bullshit power chords, the drumming is "bum-chick-bum-chick", the bass doesn't exist, and the lyrics are standard tool/douche material. Characterized by generic faggotry of all musical aspects. Basically the Nu-Metal and Metalcore of the 80's.
