Top 10 hair metal bands

[RaTTlEHeaDz95]

iron maiden.. hair metal...? They were the creators of the new wave of british heavy metal

[deathmetalstrength]

@deathmetalstrength Okay, Maiden is definitely metal, Pantera as well but the rest? Fuck, hard rock to glam bullshit only gave the underground scene more reason to get heavier and faster -not give a shit about how many records they sold or how their image was crafted. Real metal bands do not give a shit about selling out, or their image -it's about the fucking music. Thrash was killed off for a while, rightly so and even death metal had to have the shit slapped from it-

[deathmetalstrength]

@deathmetalstrength The music charts are for pussies -music that is all image driven or "rock" star prone. I may listen to some of it, but I wouldn't buy the next Suffocation, Gorguts, Nile, or Defeated Sanity albums if they came with "Grammy Nominated" stickers on the front cover. If that's the only reason you buy music, you're fucked. Let hip-hop control the charts. Metal is and should always be UNDER-FUCKING-GROUND. Btw -bloodshot557 is right: wtf for including Maiden?

[AmandaRooker]

who gives a shit what is hair metal.....metal is metal.....unless people want to see hip-hop continue to dominate the charts, the metal heads better start pulling together and supporting all types of metal.....there was a time when metal dominated the charts, those were the days

[bloodshot557]

wat the fuk!!!!!!!!iron maiden is not hair metal!!!get your shit straight

[bman161616]

Guns N Roses aren't hair metal. Pure R'n'R baby



[Turdbuckethat]

LOL 80s hair metal bands were funny. Lipstick and spandex pants. hahaha what a bunch of fags

[zonaluver]

@Turdbuckethat "they pulled more tall in two year than u will pull in your life"

[Turdbuckethat]

@zonaluver Good for them. "Tall" isn't everything. I don't give a shit if they made 100 trillion bucks each, they were still faggoty looking LOL

[danzpop]

def leppard and motley crue are way beter

[Deathm3t4l95]

EUROPE!!!

[huts68]

How many of us still fly our OWN BAND to sold out shows in their own Boeing?

Hands?

[Powerslave234]

What the fudge!!!! I was skiming through this video and Im seeing Poison, Skid Row, Gnr and then I see......... IRON MAIDEN!!!! Thats not even hair metal! Come on! The rest of the bands on this list are half the musicans the guys in maiden are. Maiden is the greatest band on this planet and is straight up metal.

[madmaxxmayhem]

all the bands here are great but alot of them arent HAIR bands like quiet riot and iron maiden..ect..but who cares,,metal forever!!

[nconners19]

I like all the bands, and people, respect peoples opinions! He might just forgot some!

[4everglammetal]

iron maiden is heavy metal not hair metal!

[TheLongLakeRockstar]

@Suspect889 Ok here's my thing, I know you're never going to agree and I don't expect you too but Bon Jovi is nothing but a Flamboyant, Pretty Boy with no attitude to back himself up. Almost Every Song is either a ballad or a hard ballad. Mean While there are a hair bands that are better than JBJ mainly because they had fucking Attitude Rock their songs, They were heavy, Head bang worthy while maintaining the Glam Style and the ballads they played. Bon Jovi only has a lavander Leotard. :/

[karitom007]

@beatles19621 come on Guns is also glam !!!! have you ever heard Welcome to the jungle or you could be mine !!!!!

[TheLongLakeRockstar]

@karitom007 That's funny I've always called them Glam but it's weird because now that I'm older and I listen to GNR they have a Grunge sound like Mother Love Bone

@TheLongLakeRockstar HELLO???? BON JOVI!!!

[TheLongLakeRockstar]

@jigzawqw7 WHAT?! He wasn't Hair Metal! You can't even call him Bubble Gum Rock! lol I'm sorry bro I hate Bon Jovi. If there's one band worse than poison it's JBJ. That's just me though................And everyone in New Jersey. :D LMAO I'm sorry I'm seriously not make fun of you or anything like that I just always joke when it's Bon Jovi. Can youexplain to me why everyone likes him?

[MrDismemberment]

@TheLongLakeRockstar I love glam metal, I hate Bon Jovi though, I only like 1 or 2 songs.

[TheLongLakeRockstar]

@MrDismemberment I can't even listen to the popular songs, he's just horrible all around. The Lavander Leotard, his "Pretty Boy" attitude, It seemed like more of a scandal than music.

[TheLongLakeRockstar]

Jesus Christ what is it with everyone and Poison. They were horrible. Vixen was better than Poison

[aniskiii]

[DRomero372]

[mordig]

@SaladeTY Motley Crue better than Maiden? Don't think so!!!

[SaladeTY]

@mordig I like Iron Maiden but its not glam metal.

[mordig]

@SaladeTY I know but they are in this video, and regardless of what type of music Maiden and Motley are, Crue are not in Maiden's league.

[bignumbnads]

[thepain001]

W.A.S.P. ftw

[randyrhoads79]

Dude that was not pantera! That was believer by Ozzy

[bashasrules666]

@randyrhoads79 you can tell haha, that solo does not sound like DimeBag at all,

[Suspect889]

it was actually a remake of believer.. a tribute to dimebag darrel, might not be dimeag darrel but it relates to him so fuck it.

[rRhaissa]

Cinderella and Guns N'Roses best bands ever.!!!!!!

[ThatKrookedVulture]

Are you fuckin' shitting me?!? IRON MAIDEN IS NOT HAIR METAL!!! They came along way before hair metal ever started. They were a part of the "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal." You need to recheck your genres bro.

[RawrInYawrHeart]

@ThatKrookedVulture Yes, we all know. Stop trying to look smart, someone's already pointed out that fact.

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@RawrInYawrHeart Well, you're still an asshole. I wouldn't know what other people said about it because I have a life and don't read every fucking comment on the page.

[RawrInYawrHeart]

@ThatKrookedVulture It's the highest rated comment you idiot.

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@RawrInYawrHeart Like I said, I don't read every fucking comment on the page. In this case I didn't read any comments because I don't give a shit what everybody else thinks about a compilation video that one dude made.

[666nerak]

iron maiden no es hair

[Suspect889]

im sorry for putting in hair metal bands, these are my favourite 80's bands i fucked up, altho some of them are hair metal

[JRockGalaxy]

@Suspect889 You could always change the video title and description, Good 80s bands though! :o

[Boston1775]

where the hells def leppard and motley crue?

[legenddaryslash]

Guns N' Roses was the best band around in the 80's and 90's

[shawndixon13]

i think Guns N Roses is overrated, especiialy their album Appetite For Destruction, Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Poison are way better than them

[nowinterweather]

@shawndixon13 What's your reasoning behind that?

[8Eriquo8]

@shawndixon13 but poison is so gay.

[shawndixon13]

@8Eriquo8 well everyone is entitled to their own opinion

[skypjuh]

wtf guns n' roses on 1? it was for sure the best band in the 80's as not ever

[myshaneman]

@Judaskill666 i think their first three albums ( on through the night, high n dry and pyromania) were the most normal hard rock ones of their career. i think hysteria was way over produced and everything after that wasnt very good at all.

[ThePENON]

Iron Maiden Hair Metal? What an insult!!

[197666Horror]

Iron Maiden isn't Hair Metal!!!

[myshaneman]

@Judaskill666 yeah i know, they are from sweden or something right?i mean i wouldnt put them in the list with def leppard as the big starter of hair metal from europe because they didnt get big until the final countdown, which i think was 86 or 87. i think def leppard was hair metal with high and dry and pyro but definitely got off track after that, hysteria is glam metal/pop to me. i dont exactly know what you mean with "they werent metal for a long time"?

[myshaneman]

1) motley crue

2) Poison

3) Ratt

4) Bon Jovi

5) Dokken

6)quiet riot

7) Cinderella

8) Skid Row

9) Warrant

10) WASP

[myshaneman]

@Judaskill666 europe was essential to the hair metal movement!!!!??? what the fuck. the crue, quiet riot, ratt and dokken were essential to the movement in LA. def leppard and maiden were the british metal movement

[myshaneman]

ok where is dokken? and why is loudness on here when the crue and ratt are not? and no one cares about hair metal pantera, they werent big as a hair band at all. and the LA guns are great but shouldnt be here. maiden is not hair metal. you obviously dont have much knowledge of this genre and should listen to some more before posting this

[myshaneman]

number 1 needs to be motley crue dude, poison is great and should be second but the crue IS hair metal

[TheGreatDuck]

@myshaneman Poison can be number 2 only on a worst hair bands list.

[myshaneman]

@TheGreatDuck yeah i said poison should be on here when i thought it was a list of the top ten biggest hair bands of all time, my bad. i agree that poison is one of the worst bands of the era

[TheGreatDuck]

@Judaskill666 Of course G'n'R don't play hair metal,and no other band ever did.

[TheGreatDuck]

@Judaskill666 Well,Whitesnake all those bands started off as non-glam bands,but Whitesnake became a hair band in the late 80s,as did MSG when McAuley joined.

Def Leppard started playing pop-metal on Pyromania (although they didn't really have the hairstyles most hair bands were wearing at the time),and Ozzy was image-wise always kinda borderline glam,and became a bit poppy in the late 80s and early 90s.

[AbbyxGraf]

Motley crüe should most deffinitely be on here

[Estranged68]

GUNS N ROSES HAD CRAZY HAIR IN THEIR EARLY YEARS LIKE FROM 1985 TO 1988

[Estranged68]

@Judaskill666 Yes they are you ass, try listening to few songs off “GNR Lies” “The Spaggetti Incident” and “Appetite for Destruction”

[TheGreatDuck]

Maiden ain't a hair band.

Poison is far from being one of the best.

What about Europe,Shotgun Messiah,MSG,Def Leppard,Great White,Winger,Whitesnake,Dokken­,Ratt,Twisted Sister,Motley Crue,Fastway,Bon Jovi,Kix,Blue Murder,Badlands,Ozzy,Stryper?

[myshaneman]

@TheGreatDuck are you saying that all those bands you listed are closer to being the best then poison? have you even listened to most of the bands you listed? europe, shotgun messiah, great white, fastway, kix,blue murder and badlands should not be top ten at all

[TheGreatDuck]

@myshaneman Yes.Poison is the band that gave glam metal a bad name,and Talk dirty to me may very well be the worst glam metal song of all time .And CC is nothing compared to the likes of Kendall,Norum,Jake E. Lee,Sykes or Fast Eddie.

[myshaneman]

@TheGreatDuck yeah poison definitely made it kind of a joke, and yeah,john norum from europe? he was good, much better than cc. obviously jake e lee and john sykes were better. motorhead was not glam though so i wouldnt compare those two. i dont really know kendall? was he white lion?

[TheGreatDuck]

@myshaneman Fast Eddie played in Fastway;He formed the band together with the UFO bassist Pete Way,hence the name "Fastway" .

Kendall was the guy from Great White.The White Lion guy was Vito Bratta.Both were great guitarists.

[myshaneman]

@TheGreatDuck oh yeah i forgot about fastway

[wadereed27]

most hair metal bands are a joke to me but the best hair metal bands are whitesnake and ratt

[KOSubZeroKO]

@juliusyeung0330 Iron Maiden is NWOBHM so I don't know why they are here. P.S up the irons!

[juliusyeung0330]

wait... IRON MAIDEN is not Hair Metal! they are NWBHM!

aren't they?

[juliusyeung0330]

I go for GNR

[crankthewallsedge]

No winger or lizzy borden? :/

[xXxdaguitarfreakxXx]

@shawndixon13 no its actually 80s metal. they nick named it hair metal cuz they had crazy hair.

[wadereed27]

hair metals lame the only cool hair metal bands are dio and ratt. im glad pearl jam and all those bands washed up hair metal

[alucristian]

yea!!!!

[joshmattg]

fuckin hell Suspect889 whats wrong with you!?

iron maiden hair metal???!

jesus chris think about what you've put down the whole metal world is about to fuckin kill you, you are a 1st prize fuckin wankstain

[MrFixsus]

what maiden? maiden is not hair metal but it is good band

[skelder07]

Where The Hell is MOTLEY CRUE the all time best band period!!!

[socksandpistols]

The main offenders in no particular order - Poison, Crue, Warrant, Cinderella, Bon Jovi, Dokken, Ratt, Slaughter, White Lion, Faster Pussycat, Skid Row and Whitesnake. Second string - Hanoi Rocks, Enuff Z Nuff, Steelheart, Stryper, Britny Fox, Saigon Kick, Firehouse, Bang Tango and anybody else that had a horrible "monster ballad"

[rocknrollfreak123]

OMG on the Pantera song starting at 3:35-3:42 its the fuckin first solo in Mr. Crowley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nick98Nick98]

Pantera might be hair metal but definately not Iron Maiden. Whare is Def Leppard and Whitesnake? Warrant? Other than that this video isnt bad.

[hinderrulez100]

GNR is mainly heavy metal but had SOME Hair Metal. But MAIDEN AND CINDERELLA AND GNR AND POISON AND ALL THE OTHER BANDS RULE!!!!

[hinderrulez100]

First I don't think Bon Jovi really qualifies as Hair Metal. 2nd of all, my list is: Cinderella, Twisted Sister, Poison, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, (Old) Pantera(when they were Hair Metal), Def Leppard, Van Halen (I know they are not "REAL" Hair Meatal but they fit), Scorpions, Plus METALLICA (they were Heavy Metal with big hair not hair metal but they still had big hair so yeah respond and say what you think (if you want to!)

[socksandpistols]

Bon Jovi almost defines hair metal. It was all about songs aimed at 15 year old girls, being a pretty boy and his blown-out poofy poodle hair. The keyboardist had a fro and had to get extensions to keep up the image.

[gimbril]

bon jovi is a hair metal metallica isnt and never was hair metal

[frgyfrhygfth]

what no bon jovi!!!!!!

[loverboyz901]

Iron Maiden? Pantera? try again

[pattocetamol]

Iron Maiden are not hair metal but Pantera were, listen to Pantera's Album Power Metal. I think your opinion will change. A lot of metal fans don't know or are oblivious of this because Pantera disowned the glam albums.

[ismindavila]

is this a joke, pantera and Maiden are hair metal?

[bamfreak171]

panteraisdeffenetly thrash. they shouldntbe in this video.

[MCrue2]

[bamfreak171]

[hysteriag]

def leppard = #1

[swalters95]

pantera isnt hair metal, theyre thrash. iron maiden had long hair but they wernt hair metal. their songs werent about sex and drugs and rising up, they were about death and fairy tales and stories and stuff. and their music was heavier than anything any hair metal bands put out. both two of my fav bands though. anyway, good list. heres my top 10 for hair metal: 1. motley crue 2. W.A.S.P. 3. dokken 4. kiss 5. twisted sister 6. scorpions 7. whitesnake 8. quiet riot 9. lynch mob 10. cinderella

[CDAWGHSEE1]

[nikoincredibad1]

[TheConiff99]

What Pantera song is that?

[imagesk8r6969]

iron maiden wasn't hair metal. they were a part the nwobhm. Their lyrics were far diff than hair metal and their style wasn't even close 2 hair metal.. They were power metal..

[Suspect889]

The loudness song is, Heavy chains. and i guess ur right, they didnt sound like hair metal anyway, but i couldnt think of my other favourite, so i put them .. closest thing that popped up in my head.

[imagesk8r6969]

good list but iron maiden is NOT hair metal. 4 me it goes: 1.KISS 2.Motley Crue 3.Def Leppard 4.Poison 5.Dokken 6.Guns N Roses 7.Scorpions 8.Bon Jovi 9.Whitesnake 10.Cinderella btw whats the loudness song?
