Killer video. I totally forgot about Cinderella. I wouldn’t put Motley Crüe in there either. Cheers

[@metaldownunder666]

We grew up in the same era and I still love my glam metal to this day but also love everything metal. Heavy metal, Thrash, Death, Symphonic, and melodic Black metal. Really enjoyed your video mate😃🤘

Winger debut excellent

[@headbangerscloset8552]

@@therockbeast6214 yes it is. I didn't include it because I cannot find my copy.

[@Harleyforever20]

One band that I still love is Metal Church. The debut album was released in 1984.

[@headbangerscloset8552]

@@Harleyforever20 they are awesome! No doubt, but I grouped them in more with thrash metal at the time when I was growing up

Love your videos man... and this one takes me back to the best era of music in history. I know the 50's had the beginnings of rock with Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis, etc... the 60's had the beginnings of hard rock and metal and some of my favorite bands ever, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc... the 70's goes without saying, just so much great music. But the 80's not only had hair/party metals bands like Motley Crue, Ratt, and hundreds more... but also had the beginning of thrash and more extreme metal, but it had videos on MTV that we could all see our favorite bands playing right there on our TV's. The 80's didn't just have the audio to the greatest bands of the era but the video as well. That's why I think it's the greatest era in music history... plus I was born in 72 so the 80's were the prime of my teen years, lol... CHEERS BROTHER

[@headbangerscloset8552]

I completely agree with you my man. Mtv played a huge part in the explosion of heavy metal and I don't think at all it would have happened without it. Radio would have gotten a handful of Vans big like it did for pop bands and then bands in the '70s but the music and the look is what was selling in that era and it was huge

Hi Brett, I work with Jamie. I'll be at metallica in August on Sunday. Hope to see u there. Brian

another killer video

[@headbangerscloset8552]

Thanks buddy. I really appreciate that

[@twangersturntable]

Let me start with the best...Awesome t shirt dude! Lol! 80's glam metal was a term that was really just deriving from glam rock from the 70's and more about an image... I never considered that derogatory. Hair metal however definitely had a derogatory tones when I heard it used in 90's for sure. Mostly after the new stuff "Grunge" (another term is stupid and actually referes to the clothing style) was the flavor of the day. Great vid my friend. I also totally agree on the Bon Jovi front. Some of their stuff is tolerable (debut & 7800°F)...but its hard rock at best. If I didn't have my grandson's for this stretch, I'd be on this like you on Poison! Lol! Love this idea Brett. Cheers bud! 🍻✌️🤘🎶🤘

[@headbangerscloset8552]

Hey buddy. I agree. Hair metal seemed like it was a big dig at those bands. It was just an image and I'm sure a lot of the record companies were pushing the bands to have that image. I've read articles over the years where there was more than a few bands that we all know and love to this day that the record companies really tried to get them to do the hair and the clothing in the vein of the hair metal and Glam metal scene even when those bands didn't want to

[@RichardWolfe79]

My mom listened to all that stuff, minus WASP. I was never into the hair stuff but do enjoy it now when I’m in the mood for it. I was a bit surprised when I saw Winger is playing the progpower fest this year.

[@headbangerscloset8552]

I get that. I am willing to bet that if I was much older during the '80s I probably really wouldn't like that stuff much either. I would have gravitated towards the heavier stuff a lot sooner

[@johnbmx4christ]

Great video dude. I'm a little older than you and grew up in l.a. during these times. Got to see so many of these bands live. Totally agree with the poison album. That motley album you showed is also their best in my opinion .I personally like ratts e.p. better than their other albums. Not sure what you consider queensryche but their e.p. was also awesome. Just found you. Gonna go back and watch all your other videos. 😁

[@headbangerscloset8552]

@@johnbmx4christ I agree with you on the motley Crue album. It's by far their best. I love queensryche never really considered them hair metal though. I always saw them as straight up metal

[@drippinglass]

Vinnie Vincent Invasion was good. 😀

[@headbangerscloset8552]

@@drippinglass absolutely. Hell yeah. I completely agree

[@snuglebear9]

Well if you consider Def Leppard to be glam metal which many people do including myself, then I have to say that On Through The Night is by far my favorite debut

[@headbangerscloset8552]

I love Def Leppard they're one of my favorite bands. I think they're a great new wave of British heavy metal band. That's kind of how I classified them. Their first three records. I don't think I really considered them Glam until pour some sugar on me came out. But that's what's great about this whole thing. It's all subjective. Some people consider them new wave of British heavy metal. Others consider them Glam metal from the beginning and I think both can be correct

[@chrisa1125]

There were two weird bands from the 80's for me. Cinderella and Guns N Roses... because their debut albums are probably in my top 20 favorite albums of all time (Night Songs and Appetite), but I don't care much for anything else they ever did... especially GNR

[@user-yv2xo4tb3w]

No LA Guns? You messed up.

[@headbangerscloset8552]

@@user-yv2xo4tb3w too much like GNR. Never really considered them hair or Glam metal
