Upset that Hair Metal has not had a resurgence.

[CupcakesandTwunting]

All of the other sub-genres have had one: grunge, New Romantics, punks, Goths (Topshop did a very good Siouxie Sioux type range a few years back)

HAIR METAL. Needs a comeback. I have a wardrobe full of hair metal band t-shorts just dying to be worn. I want to see men with huge, hairsprayed hair and spandex leggings. AIBU?

YANBU. Men in very tight trousers, silk/chiffon shirts and long hair = heaven

I might try and launch a Hair Metal group, see if we can't start a revival.

Who's in?

Hmm...

I like your thinking. The idea of DH with a big JBJ perm though is making me a little bit gaggy.

nooooo!!!! men people like my DH who are the wrong side of 40 and/or skinny will turn up imagining they look like this when in reality they look this!!

I'd love to be in your band, can I play bass? In a Sid Vicious look-cool-and-not-really-play way.

\m/

Who would Hair Metal be? GunsNRoses/Metallica/JonBonBon? Or are they more Rock? I am not cool enough to understand the genre divides.

I do quite like a hairy man so yes, I am all for it

Ooooh, yes please, does that mean I can wear my purple suede stiletto chelsea boots again? Would I be allowed to drool over Bret Michaels and Tom Keifer and not be frowned upon?

Madam Think Motley Crue, Cinderella, Poison etc and you wouldn't be far wrong.

The good old days where boys wore more make up and had taller more back combed hair than me.

Ah, a bit harder that girly old BonJon then. Not that he isn't a fine thing.
Will they wash, these Real Hairy Men? I'm only in if they're not stinky.

IME they were very clean and took longer to get ready to go out than I did!

Not quite hair metal but I'm taking my family to a festival at the end of the month and Headlining on the Saturday are the Quireboys and special guests Tigertailz can't wait takes me back to being 15 again !!!

haha hair metal NEVER went out for me cupcakes

motley crue, love/hate, skid row, steel panther and their ilk are all a big part of my music collection!

oooh oooh bulliemama a good mate of mine is the bass player in tigertailz. she is brill.

Tigertailz used to hang out in the same club as me in Cardiff. Seen Quireboys a few times too.

yup hair metal's still alive and well in my house too. DP of course objects to my atempts to eyeliner him in his sleep though.

Well, there was The Darkness... they had the hair at least

I dated guys with long hair in my youth, I ended up marrying a one with receding short hair!

Oh yes, cupcakes. I will stand with you and demand the return of our sex rock gods

Please Captain do not utter the 'D' word - they are not rock gods ... they are/were/will always be an abomination

I love Hair Metal (Poodle Rock!)- it gets played in my house all the time and I feel so proud when I hear my 14yr old playing Iron Maiden or similar

i think i have snogged Justin Hawkins!

Dsis used to frequent a club The Darkness used to frequent....i have (extremely) vague recollections of hoovering the face off a curly-haired wonky-toothed sex-god young man one time who kept banging on about going to be famous one day...

AuntieMonica lucky you.

BTW The Darkness have reformed. They are actually good as long as you take them tongue in cheek.

I love Hair Metal as well, it never died out and some of the new bands I watch on Kerrang are keeping it alive as well (yes I am very nearly 40)!

Yes, not gone to see them this time, have done in the past though...he didn't recognise me
