    What WAS my favorite hair metal band? How about STILL my favorite hair metal band? Crue. 100% without a doubt Motley Crue, Then a tie for 2nd place between Cinderella (Hello, who else can throw down a vocal track like Tom?!) and GNR. Obvious choices yes, but good music is damn good music.

    OMG! I used to record Head Bangers Ball on MTV every weekend! I loved Cinderella, Kix, White Lion, Skid Row, LA Guns, Motley Crue, Scorpions, Tesla, Bon Jovi, Lita Ford, Twisted Sister, Poison, Rat, Quiet Riot, Faster *****cat, but more than any.....I loved Def Leppard. I had the biggest crush on the bass player Rick Savage! I still have a bracelet that I made with his name on it when I was like 12......lol!
