    Faster P-cat
    L.A. Guns
    Enuff Z Enuff
    Ratt
    Dokken
    Vince Neil

    This was amazing btw..LOL!

    Umm, my fav was always Metallica, back before the switch to short hair and painted black nails :huh: It feels weird classifying them into a "hair" metal band, but on the heavier side:
    Iron Maiden, Savatage, Anthrax, Motorhead, Ozzy, Megadeth, Danzig, Pantera, Slayer, Carcass

    On the lighter side and alternative:
    Cinderella, Tesla, Poison, Jane's Addiction, Dokken, Faster P*ssycat, L.A. Guns, Ratt, Guns n' Roses

    I always loved THE SCORPIONS. Good mix of metal and hard hair rock. Nice ballads too!

    I've been hearing about Rocklahoma on the radio and I am sure it would be pretty cool to go. Big names they are pushing this year are Rob Zombie, Creed, Megadeth, Queensryche, Theory of a Deadman, etc. Volbeat will be there this year.....I really like their song "A Warrior's Call"....had to add it to my workout playlist.

    There are just too many of the "big hair bands" that I like, but I think my favs were Motley Crue, Warrant, Slaughter, Ratt, Bon Jovi, and Guns n Roses.

    Oh hell, I didn't even read the comments really..but yeah, they are..LOL. Just for the record, Dave Mustaine is a douche canoe and I've pretty much lost all respect for both bands. Still enjoy the old stuff tho ;)

    We went to Oz fest a few years back and I was amazed at how awesome Iron Maiden was!!
    The guy is up there in age but put on an awesome show!!
    RUN TO THE HILLS!!

    Iron Maiden is playing at the Sarnia Bayfest this year, we're going to see them.

    I promise you will be impressed!!! Have fun chicky

    Saw a documentary about Eddie force 1 or something they called the plane but Bruce ****inson flew them to X amount of cities / gigs in X amount of nights, 1 a night for a mental tour. Can't recall the number.

    They're not my favs so not on my list but always really came across as able to 'rock a show'.

    I saw "Bruce ****inson" on a solo tour, with my ex-husband..........we had backstage passes, and got to meet him..........Loved the way he sang, "All the young dudes!" After that concert, I call him Bruce "The Di**" ****inson!!!!!! NOT BECAUSE HE WAS MEAN!!! Holy gees, when he sat in the chair he had to lift his chin!!! :wink:
