Why do you always have to fight which genre is best?? Am i asshole if i like mötley or alice in chains? Cant i i like both of them? They are both at the end rock n roll... If someone is starting here the battle between genres i can tell one thing, you are probly young and think that everyone should just like your genre... Do you bitch in bar if someone orders whiskey instead of vodka?? We all have our OWN taste... So be mens and do not act so stupid! ( and cause you all troublemakers are certai

@MrDismemberment in all due respect musicians in metal, punk, grunge, hard rock, glam metal all had thier fear share with heroin. oh yea and iron maiden is fucking awesome.

No one could ever come close to the talent of Aerosmith

This woman should make another one of these today but about hipsters lol

I'm pretty sure the band Alice Cooper was talking about who ripped them off was Wasp. They have damn near the same stage theatrics but they're a good band.

who does Alice Cooper say copied him but was beeped?

@GrungeRock1991...album with SLAVE TO THE GRIND, which was more aggressive and even had at speed metal (the title track). Then there's Guns N' Roses, who are self-explanatory. Even Bon Jovi was ambitious as they had Springsteen aspirations (you can clearly hear the Boss' influence in NEW JERSEY and KEEP THE FAITH). Don't get me wrong. I love 90's alt. rock but I think it's wrong to associate all glam bands to this garbage, especially since some of them were better than others.

@GrungeRock1991 I agree and disagree with your assessment. Most of the glam metal bands of the 80's (Poison, Faster Pussycat, Tuff, Vixen, 80's era Kiss, Lizzy Borden, Seduce) were awful and judging by this video, it was clear they had no chance in hell in succeeding. But then you had bands that at least tried to broaden their style. For example, Cinderella made HEARTBREAK STATION, which was heavily influenced by the Stones, T.Rex, Humble Pie and Aerosmith. Skid Row followed their self-titled...
