Which band was the ultimate "hair band" for you? And which song and why?

I guess my favorite TRUE hair metal band would be Motley Crue. I played Tetris for HOURS listening to "Shout at the Devil" back in the 80s when I should have been talking to girls or doing homework.  

Honestly, Tesla and Skid Row were my preference though. They were a little different from the other hair bands and I liked that. I still listen to Tesla's stuff (up to "Bust a nut" which I couldn't bring myself to purchase after seeing the name) as well as Skid Row's first two - heavy emphasis on the second one.

We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister summed up my feelings after 9/11

We're Not Gonna Take It Lyrics
Artist(Band):Twisted Sister


oh we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
oh we're not gonna take it anymore

we've got the right to choose and
there ain't no way we'll lose it
this is our life, this is our song
we'll fight the powers that be just
don't pick our destiny 'cause
you don't know us, you don't belong

oh we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
oh we're not gonna take it anymore

oh you're so condescending
your gall is never ending
we don't want nothin', not a thing from you
your life is trite and jaded
boring and confiscated
if that's your best, your best won't do

oh.....................
oh.....................
we're right/yeah
we're free/yeah
we'll fight/yeah
you'll see/yeah

oh we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
oh we're not gonna take it anymore

oh we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
oh we're not gonna take it anymore
no way!

oh.....................
oh.....................
we're right/yeah
we're free/yeah
we'll fight/yeah
you'll see/yeah

we're not gonna take it
no, we ain't gonna take it
we're not gonna take it anymore

we're not gonna take it, no!
no, we ain't gonna take it
we're not gonna take it anymore

just you try and make us
we're not gonna take it
come on
no, we ain't gonna take it
you're all worthless and weak
we're not gonna take it anymore
now drop and give me twenty
we're not gonna take it
A Pledge pin
no, we ain't gonna take it
On your your uniform
we're not gonna take it anymore

How about the 80's song that got you the most action?

I'm more into metal, but if I had to pick a fav hair band it would be Twisted Sister. Mainly because of the way Snider stood up to the PMRC.

Hey Macman, Have you heard any of the latest Telsa? What do you think about it?

POISON dude!!!   "talk dirty to me" and "momma's fallen angel" rocks!!

I like it enough- It's a solid comeback album from them. Don't expect it to sound like the old stuff- they've updated their sound nicely.

Poison or Motley Crue its a toss up

Whitesnake or Giant

Kiss! Patty

Quoted: Kiss! Patty

Quoted: Quoted: Kiss! Patty That a request?

Quoted: POISON dude!!!   "talk dirty to me" and "momma's fallen angel" rocks!!

Look What The Cat Dragged In and Open Up and Say Ah were good
Flesh and Blood was so-so

Favorites...

Motley Crue "Kickstart My heart"

Poison "Fallen Angel".

Cinderella "Shelter Me"




Worst hair for a hair band...

Madame-X

Dokken. I don't know about the new stuff, but "Beast From The East" and older rocks!

Quoted: Kiss! Patty

LOL... when I was  a Senior in HS, I saw KISS on the Crazy Nights tour.   They turned out to be staying in the same place we had picked in terms of lodgings.

You haven't been scared shitless until you're a seventeen year old boy from a small town knocking back beers with GENE FUCKING SIMMONS!

(Oh, and the groupies were freaky hot too).
