Quagmire 0 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Montrose - straight rock n roll. End of discussion..38 Special not Hair Metal either, just one helluva crappy band.Van Hagar's best album was OU812, and Black and Blue was my favorite. Once I was forced to listen to crap like Right Now, I was done with them as a band.Got my 7 year old rocking out to Rainbow In The Dark yesterday. If you've never seen a little kid banging his head, you're missing out on one of the supreme joys in life. Link to post Share on other sites
DiverDown4 0 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Anyone listen to grunge in the 80's, and i mean real grunge, like soundgarden circa 1986-89, mother love bone. Nirvana was NOT grunge. Link to post Share on other sites
jakoye 0 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 They definately got alot softer after dave left, but i think they made more rocking songs with sammy at the same time. Sounds weird but you catch my drift. Although i will admit, DiverDown is my favorite album, hence my screename You're gonna laugh, but I didn't even make the connection with your screename! :-) I think it's that picture of Chris Cornell. It's distracting. I mean, I'm as heterosexual as the next guy, but I'm secure enough to admit that he's a pretty good-looking guy. At least if my girlfriend decided to leave me for him, I'd sort of understand! Link to post Share on other sites

jakoye 0 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 i saw the tour last year where both David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar did their own sets for like 90 minutes each, doing all their best VH songs. I really do like both of them, but if i had to pick one I think Sammy is a much better singer then David. David has better stage antics. I was disappointed that Sammy opened for David at the concert, but oh well. Either way you look at it, VH rocks!I could agree with that. I think Dave's lyrics were better. Hagar's were just too... bland.And to me it just seemed like Van Halen had more ROCK in them when DLR was the lead singer. Maybe they just got old and the same thing would've happened if DLR had stayed (or not been thrown out). Link to post Share on other sites

Willa Ford, in an interview, admitted that her boyfriend said the only male he would have a 3some with and her would be Chris Cornell.

The Goo-Goo Dolls were a rocking band, then they completely sold out. If you can find real old Goo-Goo dolls on the internet, let me know. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm kinda insanely jealous when it comes to other men around my girl.As for Cornell being the greatest rock singer, I won't argue you with you there. His voice is spectacular. Personally I prefer Layne Stayley's over Cornell's, but that's just personal taste. Link to post Share on other sites

To me, AIC was more metal than anything else. "Grunge" just sounds like a marketing or fashion term than anything else. Certainly none of the bands considered themselves "grunge".

And on that note Axl is the best rock front man of all time(even with the psychosis). Link to post Share on other sites

keith crime 8 Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Guns were definitely not hair metal in fact they more than nirvana were more responsible for the end of hair metal along with mettalica - the hair metal guys were all about chicks and booze and fun - guns for better or worse were heroin and dangeranyone know when chinese democracy is coming out?

Oziumrules 0 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I agree Guns n Roses was not Hair Metal at all. More like in your face drunk heavy metal! As for the greatest front man, he is up there, but I always thought Scott Weiland was the best front man. Link to post Share on other sites

I see Hair Metal and **** Rock aren't the same they are just diffrent areas of Glam Rock.I don't know about sister cleo though. Link to post Share on other sites
