2/10 90% of hair metal is trash and this falls in to the trash category.

Motherfucker WHAT hairmetal band?

Oh you mean DOKKEN, the heavy metal band, the hard rock band, what are we predicating all of our empirical assessments of a band's musical quality on their fucking fashion sense now? What the hell does that make D E V O?

Listen chief, in case you haven't peaked over the feted mire of douchey robin thick Pompadour haircuts lately in 2018, each and every one of us is ultimately a fashion victim.

I don't care how over-zealously you adhere to the core tenants of the gospel according to GQ, you're one grainy black-and-white highschool yearbook photo away from launching your future child, into spasmodic chest wheezing pants shitting laughter.

Sure DOKKEN looks like they just got back from an larcenous hall of state sale.

Sure the aquanet fumes in the room are so thick that even the oxygen molacules have great hair,

but by 1985 standards, DOKKEN were both Stylish, Styling, AND Profiling, and incidentally cranking out possibly some of the single most enduring collection of melodic metal ever burnt to a piece of vinal.

Take your boring 3-cord, backwards hat, flannel bedecked, remind-me-to-mail-a-fucking-thankyou-card-to-winchester alternative rock grunge clichés, and get the hell out of here!

Sorry, you would not believe how many rants about "hair-metal" I've had to bear unholy witness to.

From the PMRC to the Hipsters of Grunge.

ok but hair metal is an actual genre

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glam_metal

and dokken is hair metal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dokken

how could you think i'm talking about their fashion sense when the singer/bassist for my song looks like this

[Selous Templar]

As you displayed, it's Glam-Metal not Hair Metal.

It's just in my experience "Hair-Metal" is always used in negative connotations by trashy thrash-metal edgelords who can't stomach the fact that thrash did not cover societal issues and "fukk the establishment" before Glam-metal.

 

Also the fact that you think that like 90% of it sucks is a massive edgy piss-take, but hey I'm clearly not good at changing people's minds am I?

 

And yeah, a T-shirt and long hair, how extremely "Hair-metal" right?

9/10 Synth and the 80's go together like butter and bread. Not bad vocals too.

 

Click the link and read the first sentence

"Glam metal (also known as hair metal (by pretentious thrash metal tryhards who don't understand the look of the 80's that literally everyone was doing back then. Like if teasing up your hair and wearing mascara makes you "hair-metal" then Olivia Newton John must have been hardcore in the 80's.)) is a subgenre of heavy metal which features pop-influenced hooks and guitar riffs, and borrows from the fashion of 1970s glam rock."

 

Your point?

 

Also, despite what I said, I don't hate Thrash Metal. I saw it as necessary counterpoint to the fluffy fagaloons like Extreme and Enough's Enough, but it's time is over now. Black and Death metal left it in the dust for sheer extremity, leaving it just shredding away at music marginally heavier than their "hair-metal" counterparts, but outright pussbaggery when compared against the legitimate metal underground.

If Thrash fans were honest, they'd admit that for every Razor, Type 0 Negative, SoDoM, or Heathen (those who don't sacrifice melody at the altar of aggression) there is a 15 fuckloads of interchangeable ass canyons who think a diminished 5th is when your bassist hogs the Jack Daniels.

 

Some thrash rules:

but the rest can suck proverbial ass through a straw.

Type O- isn't thrash, it's doom. Most thrash is just as bad as hair metal anyway.

Why are you so offended on my opinion over a music genre?

[Alyxx Thorne]

I take Type O Negative over Dokken any time. But I'm a filthy goth anyway.

 

What the hell does that make D E V O?.

Well, they're not Men Without Hats for sure.

Canada Montreal/10

Pretty Decent.

1/10

Easily some of JP's weakest work. It horribly bleeds together with some of the hard rock that was popular during to the mid to late '80s, which is painful considering it came out in the late '90s.
