Battle of the Big Hair Bands
February 18th 2009 21:16
Does screaming heavy metal glam vocals and long-haired guitar players with whammy bars get you excited?
Do the names Quiet Riot, Hush, KISS and Motley Crue get you hot under the collar?
Can Guns n' Roses and Van Halen justifyably qualify as Big Hair Bands?
Do the Bangles (or any girl band for that matter) have a right to be included in the great 'Hair' line-ups?
Who are the class leaders in the Big Hair stakes?
. . . and more importantly who are your favourites?

Guess it's a case of you really had to be there to appreciate the whole big hair thing . . . it really was for its time . . .
As for spinal tap - what a crack-up!

I can't believe you didn't include the rock gods themselves - KISS!
I'm mortified . . .

Sometimes it was just worth closing your eyes and taking in the music huh?
In fact it was usually about closing your eyes and sometimes . . . just sometimes . . . using earplugs as well.
Always a pleasure
Stay well

REALLY nice to know there is one other ...
I only ever liked one song from Kiss, one from Europe, three from Bon Jovi and only one again from Whitesnake ... so although i like my men a little scruffy, I guess Im not all the way into completely fluffy?
Unlike samson of olde, I guess hair doesnt always mean talent in the 20th Century?
Nice.
