10 MORE Rare Glam and Hair Metal Bands You Need To Get To Know!

[@aqureshi73]

Loved this! The second Shotgun Messiah album, Second Coming, is one of my favorites from the genre! The Kik Tracee debut is fantastic, and the Road Trip ep is killer too. I have the Salty Dog and Hericane Alice albums as well! Another great overlooked band from that time is Tyketto. Here's another rare one for you: Wild Boyz!

[@80sglammetalcast]

80’s were certainly a glorious time with so many killer bands🤘I remember Tyketto....not Wild Boyz though😂

[@akilgour13]

Wild Boyz had a great sound.

[@tbury2516]

NIce Vid! I was lucky enough to see D'Priest, Sleeze Beez, Hericane Alice, Kik Tracee and Cold Sweat in concert back in the day, missed Shotgun Messiah but a coworker got me an autographed cd from the show. Best times ever!!

[@taylorpechter5422]

Loved seeing Cold Sweat on here. Some of my other rare favorites are Bangalore Choir, SouthGang, Baton Rouge, and Wildside.

[@80sglammetalcast]

Good ones👍👍👍

[@Kim.webbford]

Wow. Some of these have been tucked away in my memory for a very long time. I had all of the cassette tapes. Great job bringing these long lost bands back to the surface! All of these bands deserved way more attention.

[@80sglammetalcast]

Agree....thanks for checking it out🤘

[@ericyoung2213]

love the channel metal mike. kyle kyle was bang tango. tim tim aka tim skold was bass player for shotgun messiah

[@80sglammetalcast]

I mixed up cause they are kinda the same same 😂

[@davetyson1550]

Great upgrade to your last list. These are some great rare ones this time. I've been trying to remember for 30 years the name of the band that played the song I thought was called "Shake" with some lead singer that sounded like slaughter' that I saw on headbangers ball when i was a kid and could never find it when searching on the internet for it. I even found a list online about a year ago that had alot of the ball songs listed out and still couldn't find. Low and behold here it is on your list and its Beau Nasty. I finally can go track down their record - i'm super excited.

[@80sglammetalcast]

Glad I was able to jog your memory on Beau Nasty. Good stuff🤘

[@LouKiss]

Saraya, Princess Pang, Femme Fatale and Wild Side (Teri Weigel used to dance to them)

[@edguygz7889]

Princess pang are amazing saw them live back in the day nyc

[@jeffcohnphoto]

So much more to add about Tim Skold from Shotgun Messiah! After SM he started Skold which was more industrial and eventually joined mdfmk and KMFDM, short stint with Newlydeads (w/Taime) and then became the guitarist for Marilyn Manson and then produced for Motionless In White

[@martyhafermann938]

Kyle Kyle was with Newlydeads.

[@dannygriner4419]

Wildside and sleez beez are 2 of the best albums ever put out

[@audreyclark7938]

Thank you for this list. I remembered all but Nasty. Hericane Alice, Kik Tracee, & Sweet F.A. we're and still are some of my absolute favorites.

[@80sglammetalcast]

Awesome....glad you liked it👍

[@dtarn1]

Nice to see the shout out for Salty Dog ;) Sleeze Beez & Kik Tracee also excellent. My "unknow" faves would include Princess Pang, Cats In Boots and of course Leatherwolf!! But over here in the UK fond memories for Wrathchild UK. Keep up the great work on the podcast!!

[@dtarn1]

Still missing Rock City Angels from the lists!!! My favourite album from the era!

[@80sglammetalcast]

Thanks! Never got into Princess Pang...but I am big into Cats In Boots and Leatherwolf. I’ve interviewed members of both if scroll down through my videos😂 I’ll definitely do at least one more list!!!!

[@frankryan3998]

I own most of these on cassette. Still have them. Thanks for the great review, Mike🙂Everyone needs to check out the bands. Way better than most of the music out now days!!

[@80sglammetalcast]

Glad you enjoyed it Frank! Definitely better than the mainstream music of today🤘

[@RobertaCampbell-n3l]

I think the most underrated band was Lillian Axe while Ron Taylor was on lead vocals. Theur 1st 4 albums r great. Great live performances too.

[@BillyDVette]

Nice list good job!

[@80sglammetalcast]

Thanks dude

[@80sglammetalcast]

Thanks dude

[@rocknrolloutlaw66]

Sleeze Beeze, Heavens Edge, Rage N Rox, Geisha, Fatal Attraction, these are good underrated bands to

[@kevinrose8299]

All great bands! The Hericane Alice debut was full of great songs. Programming note - the bass player in Shotgun was Tim Skold.

[@80sglammetalcast]

I got Kyle Kyle and Tim Tim mixed up😂😂😂

[@tyorbs6277]

There’s this band my friends dad played drums for in the 80s named Lace they were probably the most glam looking band ever,they formed in the Boro Park area of Brooklyn NY in 1981 and they were also CC Deville’s (guitarist for Poison) first band he joined they released a demo in 1984 and a 7”record with their songs “Nervous Breakdown” and “Never Let Go”, they also opened up for Twisted Sister,Motörhead,Michael Schekner Group and KIX at a lot of shows at L’Amours (Brooklyn) and L’Amours East (Queens) but sadly they broke up somewhere in the late 80s due to fights with their new bass player and disagreements with songs and I also heard the lead singer Desire passed away in the 90s so that’s a no no on a reunion. The members of the band were Joey Torra (my friends dad and drummer) Bobby Sheer (original bassist) Desire (Lead singer RIP) Tommy Wah (Lead Guitarist) If anyone that lives in New York and knows Lace or owns their 7” record or been to a Lace show and hung out with the members please reply cause I’d love to talk Here’s a link to their song off their 1984 demo “Pile Driver” kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ-cp6lmaM6NjpY Update:my friend just told me the guitarist Tommy Wah is living in LA right now

[@cyvais]

there's a band called Show n Tell... can't remember where they're from but they were pretty wild.

[@edguygz7889]

The D’priest album is a gem

[@80sglammetalcast]

Agree🤘

[@rwellenphoto]

Kyle Kyle was in Bang Tango. Tim Skold was Shotgun Messiah

[@aaronegan6504]

hurricane alice comes from my hometown. minneapolis. 3 more bands are slave raider coup de grace and impaler

[@TrentLPayne]

Loved Sweet F.A. saw them in concert.

[@80sglammetalcast]

Nice🤘

[@jamesbedford3774]

A couple from the UK (sorry if they were on your last video): Little Angels and Tigertailz. L.A. were a bit more serious, but Tigertailz couldn't have been more 'glam metal' if they'd tried! Also not seeing a lot of love for Steelheart, but perhaps they're not obscure enough.

[@80sglammetalcast]

Tigertailz is definitely in the first one😂🤘one of my favs

[@martyhafermann938]

You said bassist Kyle kyle...for Shotgun M...that's wrong. Kyle Kyle is from Bang Tango.... Tim Scold is who you were referring to. Thanks for cool video

[@80sglammetalcast]

Thanks! I know, no way to fix without reposting and with all the views it has, I’m not pulling it😂

[@scottperrin9655]

Oni Logan was the OG singer for Cold Sweat. Look around on KZbin and you'll find the demos, pretty much almost all of the songs from the Cold Sweat album but with Oni on vox. He left Cold Sweat to join Lynch Mob.

[@scottperrin9655]

Just gonna spam you with more bands 😁 Some on major labels, some not...Bad 4 Good, Blind Date, Blue Tears, Cats In Boots, Chrissy Steele, Cry Wolf, D.A.D., Dirty Looks, Dirty Rhythm, Diving For Pearls, Dubiel, Electric Boys, Fair Warning, Hardline, Heavy Bones, House of Lords, Jaded Heart, Joker, Jet Boy, Junkyard, Law And Order (one of my most favorites ever), Lion, Lionsheart, Lord Tracy, Mind Bomb, Odin, Paul Laine, Rattleshake, Richie Sambora - Stranger In This Town (1991), Rough Cutt, Roulette, Roxanne, Roxx, Saints & Sinners, The Scream, Shake City (Jani Lane was the singer before he joined Warrant), Shark Island, Shout, Slik Toxik, Smashed Gladys, Stage Dolls, Swedish Erotica, Tangier, Trouble Tribe, Victory, Von Groove, Wild Boyz

[@80sglammetalcast]

Wow....that’s quite the list🤘😂

[@trippy2767]

Great list. And a huge thumbs up for Slik Toxik. They debut is absolutely fantastic.

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

How did I do? Are we getting rarer?😂🤘

@@80sglammetalcast well kind of.....now get some Surgical Steel in there🤣😂🤣😂 I was cranking Shotgun Messiah yesterday ...they would have been the perfect opener for Guns n Roses. You always do cool content.👍🏼👊🏼😎

[@russianbot9471]

@@80sglammetalcast not bad. A rare one I just thought of was outlaw blood form 1991. Really cool record. Check it out

[@roxus80]

Add Dirty Looks and Victory to Wildside, Baton Rouge, and Sleez Beez and you have a great top 5.

[@rdefabri]

Salty Dog is criminally underrated!!!

[@80sglammetalcast]

They really are🤘

[@dragonqueen6589]

Yeah, I’m into a band that’s even more obscure than any on this list... they only had a single release in 84 I think... they did produce a sophomore album but it never was picked up.... and I know I sound like a braggart but I managed to chat for a week with a vastly underrated Danish guitarist (who was a member of another obscure band with a single release) both he and the vocalist have active projects currently... if anyone expresses any interest than I’ll tell but yeah, not expecting anybody to.... Vol 3 should include Lizzy Borden, man I love American metal!

[@edguygz7889]

Beau nasty is awesome plus there cover of love potion 9 is tops

[@80sglammetalcast]

🤘🤘🤘Love Potion #9 kicks all kinds of ass

[@ERIC-bt1qn]

Seems like no one remembers Kingofthehill but me. Probably the last new band of the genre to get any kind of attention from MTV. Summer 91. Thought they were gonna go places...

[@scottperrin9655]

A friend and I played "If I Say" at my high school talent show 😮

[@trippy2767]

Their debut is great. But I guess the metal/funk mix didn’t sell well.

[@mubeenmohyi7151]

There was a glam metal band that didn’t make it. The band had the name something house. I would appreciate it to let me know what band is it. I know Firehouse very well.

[@80sglammetalcast]

Jailhouse?

[@mubeenmohyi7151]

@@80sglammetalcast Yes. I just looked up history of Rough Cutt. I found out that couple of members were in Jailhouse.

[@trippy2767]

They had an EP and didn’t have a full album until we’ll after this music faded in popularity.

[@robertyoung4242]

Check out a band called Big Bad Wolf really good stuff

[@dsdoommm7515]

what abt pretty maids

I was into these bands when their albums first released. Too bad grunge and whiny little bitch bands became the sole focus of the music industry.

Screw grunge!😂 Hair Metal Forever🤘
