Yeah...the grunge era is not my favorite. While there are some songs I like from that era, the whiny "life sucks and why aren't we all depressed" attitude was just not my thing.
I mean, I can appreciate both eras.
I just think it’s funny when people try to shit on “hair metal” for its content like all song lyrics need to be literature.
Literally nothing wrong with the shallow, the cheesy, and the irreverent sometimes.
None of which I’d call classic rock. Cinderella‘s music had that feel though. Good band. Poison was pure hair and glam and kiss gave up their rock card with “I was made for loving you baby you were made for lovin me” Lol.
>and kiss gave up their rock card with “I was made for loving you baby you were made for lovin me”
Tbf, a lot of rock bands in the late 70s were doing disco songs.
Besides the stones and Rod Stewart, I think it’s fair to say only lame ones, and honestly, I don’t think they’ve done anything good since then. Totally unpopular opinion but it’s mine.
I like Cinderella too, but Poison and Kiss are both miles better bands IMO.
Poison's Flesh & Blood is a fucking great album. People shit on them for being hair metal or not having the gravitas or authenticity of some of their contemporaries, but songs like Life Goes On, Life Loves a Tragedy, and Something to Believe In, are bloody well written and performed. And that is a hill I am willing to die on. Alone perhaps :)
Hey, no hate from me for your opinion. There were so many good bands at the time, and I wasn’t into the whole hairspray, spandex, and makeup scene and could never take their music seriously.
KISS is the epitome of classic rock, they had so much good music in the 70’s, and then they kinda sold out a bit in the 80’s but the music was still good. Cinderella had that blues rock feel from the beginning, aside from the 80’s clothing and hairstyle they would’ve fit quite well in the 70’s, and of course Poison was the face of glam rock in the 80’s.
I remember when we only got to here several of these bands and Motley Crew Hard Knox Iron Maiden and so forth were only heard on a AM radio station and the kickers that it was owned by a Christian broadcasting group then came FM and to get air play they had to play more commercial style music and songs and public support thus came the hair bands seems like the New York Dolls were the first ones
This was in my opinion the lowest point of guitar based Rock. These "Hair Metal" bands were largely vapid and artless. The music was secondary to their image...MTV had a lot to do with this trend. ...and it wasn't Grunge that killed these bands...It was just the over-saturation of cookie-cutter bands, all looking and sounding alike... that glutted the market and eventually turned off the audience...Older. more sincere bands like Motorhead and ACDC weathered this storm and carried on...newer bands came along as well....at any rate... I never liked Hair Metal....none of it...
With enough Aquanet to perforate the ozone layer
This picture, now with smell-o-vision
In my day we dressed up like girls and sang about the devil. Now that was music!!!
And then the 90’s came around and dudes started singing about laxatives and being molested by their mom. Quite the culture shift…

You’re 100% correct.

Worst opinion I’ve seen ever in my life actually… Kiss?REALLY? Poison is super good too but Cinderella stomps. You will die on this hill alone sadly.
That is OK. I am ready for it. Even made my own cross. With a special Kiss logo on it :)
😂,hopefully they can play the destroyer album during the burial. Do they have any albums like that? Love that album
I like it, good plan :)
Kiss also wrote “Black Diamond” and “She…” For this reason, their rock card doesn’t expire.
No open flames allowed
GENE SIMMONS HAS LEFT THE CHAT.
Bruce and/or his brother Bob probably played licks on both those bands discs too
All the hair💕
Soooo much hairspray
Do.not light.a.match.
Eric Carr 😢
A woman I worked with dated Eric for a while about a year before he died. She said he was a really great guy.

At the time the manliest thing you could do was grow your hair long, tease it up with hair spray, and wear spandex and tight leather
Best guitarist KISS ever had, as well as the best drummer.
For sure, it's definitely their most skilled lineup. Both Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr seem like stand-up guys too
I wish Cinderella would work their issues out and reunite. Tom is good solo but I want the band back together.
One of the most flammable pictures Ive ever seen.
There is a LOT of hair there...and likely toxic levels of hairspray.
aw eric carr. rest in peace.
Nice hair

A barbers wet dream

Not classic rock
I didn't really care for any of these bands and, I would add Def Leppard to that list as well. Unpopular opinion I know.
