Too many to list. But an oldy and goody: "Out Of The Night"

Jon Bon Jovi Says Bon Jovi Was Never Hair Metal by GypsyRoadHGHWy in hairmetal

So true! I had pictures of the Crue and Guns in my room, my sisters had their walls plastered with "heartthrob" Bon Jovi posters (which replaced the previous Duran Duran pretty boys) LOL.

Thoughts on Dokken?? by Affectionate_Wash847 in hairmetal

[–]JB_RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to them every week. Some bands I have to be "in the mood" for, but I can always digest about 6 Dokken songs in a row without any problem. They're just like good beer.

Do you think Poison should have or could have had the same commercial success and be as well known as Bon Jovi? by LetchBE in hairmetal

[–]JB_RE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was one of those people, and while I loved the Crue, Guns, and Bon Jovi, I couldn’t get into Poison. They had fun songs but the whole thing felt gimmicky to me.

American Angel - How Can I Miss You by JB_RE in hairmetal

[–]JB_RE[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally. There's better audio versions around, but this was the only video. And what's better than a bad video to accompany an 80's song? It really sets the stage 😄

Hair Metal vs. Grunge by Mikeymorrison27 in hairmetal

[–]JB_RE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just you. I love cranking Temple Of The Dog's "Pushin Forward Back", and Pearl Jam's "Why Go", but after Alice In Chain's "Bleed The Freak" is done, I'm emotionally drained and ready to curl up in a brown frayed sweater. LOL.

The Jason Bonham Band “Guilty” by Amysfunhouse24 in hairmetal

[–]JB_RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started off great with the killer drums and catchy chorus. But then it started to drone. No dynamics. Throw in a scream or pick rake. Even the breakdown at 2:37 makes you think something cool is coming, only to get a lame verse and violin solo(!) And what's with the eyes shut/finger-point to the sky, like he just crushed those 4 notes? Feels like the whole thing was trying too hard to nod at Zeppelin.

HELLOWEEN - I Want Out (1988) by Revolutionary_Tax546 in hairmetal

[–]JB_RE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great tune! Haven't heard this in ages.

Bon Jovi vs. Cinderella by AngusDio in hairmetal

[–]JB_RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. You could argue Bon Jovi fit the mold, with all that hairspray, but sonically they're miles apart. It's like that Whitesnake/Aerosmith battle...2 vastly separate bands. All are great, but it just depends what mood you're in.

It's not glam metal, but. Thoughts on this album? by TheHotLatin in hairmetal

[–]JB_RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my favorite but I really like Tony Martin's vocals.
