I never got into hair metal but a lot of those bands had a song or two that I liked. The Scorpions don't qualify as hair metal, do they? I see them on a few lists up there. I'd put them into the same category as Priest and Maiden. Rock You Like a Hurricane is a ferocious guitar song. Jabs jams his ass off on that one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say a portion of Scorps career comes under hair metal, like Priest & Leppard. I mean here in England, Leppard was a NWOBHM band at the start. You couldn't say that now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hair metal bands were good at making singles. As a band making albums, not so good. Someone asked for Ratttttttt...... how about some Way Cool Jr.? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) I tried to put a list together. I would've maybe, included "Def Leppard", "Scorpions", "Judas Priest", "Iron Maiden", "Van Halen", "Ozzy Osbourne", and "Dio", but to me, they haven't been "Hair Metal". I wasn't going to include "Sammy Hagar", and "David Lee Roth" because to me, they haven't been "Hair Metal", too, but I got to ten songs. There are a lot of great songs to decide, and select from. From a band, and group, it's only one song, and what stood out to me, right now. Whitesnake - Slow an' Easy Great White - Rock Me Kingdom Come - Stargazer Loudness - Ashes In the Sky Dokken - Night By Night Europe - the Final Countdown Cinderella - If You Don't Like It White Lion - Lady of the Valley Sammy Hagar - Heavy Metal David Lee Roth - Goin' Crazy! Bonus song: Bon Jovi - Blood On Blood Edited February 14, 2023 by Derek19 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesnake - Slow an' Easy Great White - Rock Me Kingdom Come - Overrated Loudness - Ashes In the Sky Dokken - Night By Night Cinderella - If You Don't Like It White Lion - Lights and Thunder Sammy Hagar - Heavy Metal David Lee Roth - Goin' Crazy! Whitesnake is another band I would put in the "part of their career is hair metal" category. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 It`s crazy that someone who has avoided concerts as much as me actually saw Warrant, but I did, as they opened in for DLR in 1991. I didn`t care for hair metal and was very annoyed that Dave and VH would occasionally be grouped this way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbine Freight Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Does Hanoi Rocks count as hair metal or were they just the blueprint for it? I could do a top 10 just from them alone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What disqualifies it is that the whole album is good. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
