kiss :p :p

You havent seen 'Warrant' eh?... fuck they is cutey boys....
Cant drag the clip in here though...stoopid YouTube diddles

[Hitcher]

Tears for Fears?

Milli Vanilli?

[Benk]

KISS fucking sucked at rock 2 welly, so my vote goes for those creeps. 78.6% of the bands shittness is derived from Gene Simmons, remaining percentage is the merchandising....

PS Van Halen and Poison rock :Punk:

[nudemetalz]

I think that band "Bros" (pity Honda named a cool bike by that name !!) takes the cake....

[MIXONE]

Any will do, but that Boofy Hair/spandex/lycra makeup is called for here ...
Agreed on the KISS comment, thank god for the other acts.

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Not exactly hair metal, but possibly the boofiest hair to date. And did I mention ghey??

Point of Order: Kiss were really a 70's band, their peak years were probably 75-78 or so.

I give the prize for the gayest bunch of seppo muppets masquerading as a rock band to Motley Crue (go to youtube yourself, I can't be arsed :beer:) or maybe Guns and Roses, nah definitely Motley Crue.:lol:

[HenryDorsetCase]

agree re Kiss. Hate all those other '80's bands, but in response to your point of order, I raise another further Point of Order: Guns n Roses first album "Appetite for Destruction" is a work of genius, start to finish. All Killer, no Filler.

(this from someone who until about three years ago lumped them into that appalling "hair metal" category. Seriously, Appetite is one of the best rock n roll records ever. Tempted to start a thread on it but, well, meh.

WTF Maha? Some of that is great classic rock.
Tears for Fears made some classic pop music too.
Twisted Sister produced one of the great anthems of the genre.

The answer to your question is WHAM.

Poison Drummer Rikki Rockett rides a Thruxton.
I've talked to him online a fair bit. Cool dude.

Its about the 'Look' BD...not the music, I for one love that shit!

[Big Dave]

OK - but my answer stands. :yes:

harummphhh

Andrew Ridgely threw up on my shoes once.

Standing at the bar in Kings Cross and the guy next to me hurls. It was him. I was about to give him some 'advice' when the minders intervened.

[SlashWylde]

Poison. Definately Poison.

[Big Dave]

Poison. Definately Poison.

You'll keep.

[fire eyes]

woohoooo! gay glam bands! geezus christ .. check out thier HAIR! I am so loving the hair! Ok tight leather pants, ripped manshirts and hair spray .. yeah baby yeah .. LOL ... ok so I was like at Intermediate when the 80's decade was over but still have fond memories of then-said bands .. I remember listening to Alice Cooper's Poison on my little black sony tape deck doing my homework hahahaha .. thankx for the flash backs Maha!

[BIGBOSSMAN]

That was a shit era for music. Bloody stupid musical hairdressers, punk tried to kill it but obviously failed miserably...

[Big Dave]

That was a shit era for music.

Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, AC/DC, Talking Heads, Ian Drury, The Jam, The Clash, The Stranglers, INXS, DEVO, The Blues Bros, etc etc etc etc

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, AC/DC, Talking Heads, Ian Drury, The Jam, The Clash, The Stranglers, INXS, DEVO, The Blues Bros, etc etc etc etc

Oops, just the glam-hair metal scene - I despised it. Nothing wrong with the bands you mentioned though, it was specifically the Bon Jovi/Poison stuff etc that turned me off.
Not many of 'em around now ha ha :2thumbsup

[Big Dave]

There was some shit music in that era is accurate.

I didn't mind the hair bands - I had the hair.

It was the Totos and Foreigner and Journey - 'Epic Rock Ballads' that I couldn't cop. Michael Bolton and Kenny Gee.

However November rain is in my all time top 40.

[MaxB]

Beat me to it. Bastard!
Ok then, what about these assholes?

W.A.S.P.


They might have looked like pussies but they could play blistering metal. Live they were brilliant when I saw them. For mine The Crimson Idol concept and The Headless Children are the pick. See what they did to 'the Real Me' (Who track) and 'Locomotive Breath' (Tull track).YMMV.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Jesus, I havent heard Locomotive Breath in 25 years. Scurrying off to the torrents as we speak.

Speaking of covers of Who songs, Patti Smith does an amazing version of "My Generation"

[T.W.R]

:eek: This thing would be the ultimate freak of late 80's LA glam rock :wacko:
especially we he put out an album called "Thrill Me"

Michael Monroe :sick:

[Tank]

I didn't mind the hair bands - I had the hair.


You still do Big Dave, you still do.....

[Big Dave]

You still do Big Dave, you still do.....

I wish......

None gayer, Bronski beat and Marc Almond

[Number One]

KISS would be close to numero uno.

:angry: I don't think I've ever been near them at all!

As for gay 80s bands I reckon these guys take the cake

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/picture.php?albumid=253&pictureid=8048

[fire eyes]

hahaha Number One! Woohooo

I was watching infomercial thingys on tele this morning .. yes I know .. Iv turned square eyes since becoming an unemployed bum .. ok yes I got packing and shit to do but ANYWAY .. the infomercial thingy was fuck .. Rock Ballads or something like that and ohh my goodness EUROPE! ... GAY GLAM has to go to EUROPE surely! .. other omg'ness's were Whitesnake, Mr Mister, Toto, Poison and so many others that had me literally crying with laughter ... I have to personally say though that the 80's really is my favourite era of music across most genres :shit:

I can still listen to any of that 80's rock...I dont even have a problem with what they look like. And I would rather my kids go through any damn phase they like, as long as they are happy, its only a phase right?

[martybabe]

Hair you say, Glam and Gay you say.

Ladies and Gents, I give you Sigue sigue sputnick. :oi-grr:
