I mean seriously,i know hair bands withed teased hair are very goofy,but they are some with awesome music,besides that the guitar players are some of the greatest and if you play guitar or like guitar you would agree.Some hair bands i can honestly not stand bands like Nitro,Britny Fox,,because of their freaking annoying voices.But bands like Def Leppard,who's image is not consider hair but their music is,Tesla,Extreme,Motley Crue,Warrant, and Bon Jovi(if you can get past Livin On A Prayer and You Give Love A Bad Name,they have really awesome material and they are more original than other hair bands because they stoped being hair metal in the 90s and are still one of the top 30 bands of all time,believe it or not they are slightly higher than Bruce Springsteen),Bon Jovi's new material is great,and as for the other hair bands,you should really give some a chance because they are way underrated.For people who hate hair metal,i recommend listening to Uncle Toms Cabin by Warrant and Decadence Dance by Extreme before you rule hair metal out.
I dig Bon Jovi in a kitsch way (i.e laugh my **** off at the music videos andcan sing along to living on a prayer etc.) but I hate the man, the music, the scene and the way it commercialized metal to uber-formulatic pop.
Possibly the only glam metal band I listen to is Skid Row, who brought it some balls and grit to it:
if you listen to bon jovis 90s and 2000s material you should find better because it is not hair anymore its more of a bruce and u2 kind of feel,and skid row was freakin awesome before bach left,their best song is Mudkicker.
both are awesome i saw bon jovi live and i am seeing kiss and motley crue this summer
As am I!

Whiny annoying singer, l33t shredding that I stopped thinking was awesome when I was 13 and the general feeling that they're trying to be hardcore which just sounds slightly ridiculous to me in comparison to stuff that's actually heavy and loud like refused, big black and swans.
Probably because it's a fusion of awful, cheesy AOR and metal. Shallow music that focuses more on the decadent lifestyle of the bands than anything else, and values flashy virtuosity on the guitar over songwriting. The crossover fanbase with old rockists probably doesn't help either.
Obviously I'm not bothered that people listen to it, I think it's pretty well established that I'll respect people's right to listen to anything, but I have to admit that the world of hair/glam metal leaves me cold every single time
thats ok,i realize not everybody can like it,put bands like Winger,Extreme,and Bon Jovi have guitar talent no doubt,and Bon Jovi has proved to be big with every album they realise since 1992 when they stoped being hair metal.Plus,i am more into awesome guitar riffs and care-free lyrics then nothing but a million note guitar solos and lyrics about the end of the world.
ok first of all,just because it is commercial doesnt mean its bad music.Second,if you look into their material they have other really underrated songs that are not commercial,alot of hair bands are not givin enough credit like Extreme and Skid Row,try them out they are more of a guns n roses style bands then hair.Plus,someone who says that the music is bad because it is commercial is just mad that the death metal,punk,goth,emo,alternative bands they like are not commercial.
o yea i love me some White Lion,Lonely Nights and Little Fighter are awesome songs

Not everything is commercial, you are just blinded by capitalism. Hair metal started out just great, but it became corporations little pet, and turned eventually into shitty music like Bon Jovi.

Whitesnake, Def Leppard, KISS, Poison, especially Steel Panther, **** Row, the list goes on.
Only band that managed to do it in right way was Hanoi Rocks.

i have heard good things about hanoi Rocks,i might give them a try,but would you mine listening to the song Keep the Faith by Bon Jovi for me?tell me what you think of them after you listen to it
Everyone now loves hair metal, because everyone loves Steel Panther. Your thread is now invalid.

I just came here to feel the steel, but it appears I was beaten to the punch.
How can you hate this?
It's-
AWESOME!
You're surprised that people have different tastes in music?
whats the song you put?my computer is not showing the video for some reason you should give bon jovis 90s and 2000s stuff a chance.Listen to the songs Keep the Faith and Story of My Life and tell me what you think.
Hair metal deserved death for being commercial.
