New Overkill - “Welcome to the Garden State”

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I'm not telling my metal head friends, but I'm kinda psyched about the Motley Crue biopic...

I don't always listen to "hair metal" , but when I do I listen to Motley Crue.

 

[jdoggydogg]

I don't always listen to "hair metal" , but when I do I listen to Motley Crue.

I never listen to hair metal.

But any metal head over 45 years old that claims they never listened to hair metal is lying.

I guess my favorite hair metal band was Whitesnake.

I've heard of death metal bands who listen to the beatles so you are probably right.

 

[jdoggydogg]

I guess my favorite hair metal band was Whitesnake. 

Speaking of which, John Sykes' solo project Blue Murder was pretty great.

I wore out that self titled cassette.

Apparently, the Deftones were into Depeche Mode.

Great tone from what I remember from whitesnake

[Ghost Rider]

shout at the devil, pyromania, metal health and van halen put hair metal on the map to stay....for about 6 years.....and it burned out fast....

I still spin too fast for love and shout at the devil all the time....and home sweet home....

 

Van Halen was not hair metal. 

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

 

Van Halen was not hair metal. 

It certainly was....  @Evilgrin 72 need a ruling

Sorry, but it just wasn't.

Yep, the new record is sounding good so far.  Pretty rocking and heavy overall.

just because eddie could play didn't mean it wasn't glammy/hair metal......their lyrics were not deep and meaningful  (until Sammy joined the band)....and DLR is pretty much who every hair metal front man tried to be to the nth degree

Okay, but none of those things means VH was hair metal.  I have never seen anyone call VH hair metal until now.  While some of the hair metal bands got started in the early 80's, hair metal was basically a later 80's thing (Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Poison, Ratt, Motley Crue, etc.), and no one would ever call Van Hagar hair metal.

VH heavily influenced the genre....agree on Hagar....VH with DLR is a founding father of hair metal....way too awesome and cool to  be lumped in with poison and ratt, but those guy warren and CC could actually play hell the one dude was classically trained at NYU

We can agree to disagree.

We have a solid local metal scene, and most of the people in the pit are pretty young.

Actually there are quite a lot of really good hair metal guitarists. George Lynch from Dokken was awesome, and even Winger's guitar player was good. Of all the popular hair metal bands it's actually harder to find guitar players who weren't good.

Gary Neuman too...….

I can't say that, but in the spirit of this thread, I can say that it is definitely one of their four heaviest records to date (along with Awake, Train of Thought and the self-titled record).  This song is slamming:

Oh hell yes. The hair metal guitarists can play circles around any modern guitar players. Lynch. DiMartini, Nuno, Beach, Jake E. Lee, Vito Bratta etc. 

 

[jamny]

Is this metal?

I wish. They do not dig the metal outside of acdc and some sabbath and that is probably only because of iron man.

Billy Talent - “Devil On My Shoulder”

not it sure how I missed these guys. 

 

[jdoggydogg]

Slipknot is headlining a tour with Gojira, Volbeat, and Behemoth opening.

I was pretty psyched to see this show, but it's at The Shoreline Amphitheater. Anyone in Northern Cali knows how much that place sucks :(

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Devil Master’s Satan Spits on Children of Light is fun. That’s a real album title btw.

Glad I got to see Gojira a few times in the clubs.  I think those days are going to be over.

Yeah. Saw Pallbearer open for Gojira at the UC Theater in Berkeley, and that place is nice and small. It's stadiums for Gojira from now on.

Jesus Piece. Remind me of Converge, Burnt By the Sun, Code Orange. Heavy stuff.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9sVXvueiLI&list=PLhW6teaOQLUPWet4B9HOJXLhNs8GMD0N6&index=12

I heard this earlier this year and like it. Do you listen to Exalt?  Same sound

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Baroness/Deafheaven tonight.

I haven't, but I'll definitely check them out. I love the Hardcore crossover stuff. I'm going to the Hatebreed 25th anniversary tour next month. I'm super stoked to see Terror, and the legendary Cro-Mags open the show. 

 

[jdoggydogg]

Baroness/Deafheaven tonight. 

Yeah they're playing in Berkeley soon. Don't know either band well enough to see them.

When I was around 11 (back in 1978), I was into The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkle, Johnny Cash, etc. But then one day I bought Master of Reality just because the art was cool. My life, as you can see, was never the same. 

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

ummmmm  I would normally say that covering Stairway to heaven should not be done, but then again MASTODON can do no wrong IMO:
