    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.

    Queensryche (with Chris) - still my all time favorite
    Tesla
    Metallica (up until the Black album)
    Anthrax
    Fates Warning
    Dream Theater
    Symphony X
    Iced Earth (with Barlow)

    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 ;)

    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'.

    Guns N Roses are one of the all time greatest rock n roll bands, but I don't like to classify them as hair metal.

    Twisted SIster, however, gets my vote for best hair metal. Consistently great songs and albums up until '87 and rocked the hair/glam look to the hilt.

    My parents listened to them a lot when I was a kid, and I still get excited when they come on the radio when I'm flipping through stations when I'm on my way to work .. Radio cranked, singing into my fist.. ;)
