I know that YOU know that a bands quality is not based on their looks .. In the end all bands submit to a 'look' . Be it Punk,grundge,metal, Hair,Pop... it might define the style of the current band but the talents of the musician..the longevity of their music ,comes down to filling the bill wit great music I remember when I saw Peter Frampton walk out bald ...the first time i saw him play after years of worshipping the'Golden God' version...it WAS shock.. But then he started playing...THAT was the magic..THAT hadn't changed Alot of people had written Frampton off a pretty boy idol...but he came out wailing that axe..and thats what made him last beyond his fashionable pop era. Hairbands in general were a big music craze that was a big victim of over exposure. So many really talented musicians came out of that era tho...IF IT WAS ONLY 'HAIR' they wouldn't have lasted pass 1989 ![]() Warren Dimartini,Slash, Steve Stevens, Nikki Six, Steve Vai, so many awesome guiarist that were descent muscians...

Re: when did hair bands start and how would you describe what a hair band is?
I have to step out of the forbidden zone for a moment and ask:
What exactly does "music>>>>>looks" mean? And I'm not trying to start an argument -- I would just really like to know.

Re: when did hair bands start and how would you describe what a hair band is?
Just for the record , I'm not a fan of Amy Winehouse either.
It's a case of 'WHAT am I missing ?' I've heard her music..it's alright, but I see and hear nothing to deserve all the hype. It's the same dumbfounded glaze I get when people on here/and work go on about 'American Idol'.. Don't get ? Oh well back to my Yugo ![]()

![]() Well it seems that Van Halen meets Entertainment Weekly's definition of hair-metal bands anyway:

Re: when did hair bands start and how would you describe what a hair band is?
Ok... before reading any posts in this thread, I'll say this: To me, hair-band is a derogatory title.
I think it evolved out of the stage make-up and performance clothes metal bands were wearing on stage in the early 80's. A "hair-band" is glam-metal, but focused more on looks (hair, in particular) than musicianship, and plays it safe by following the trends instead of blazing their own trail, leaving their own scar... whatever. Some bands, you have to give a pass to, as the look was all-important if you were up-and-coming, no matter how good you were. Great White, Cinderella, and Skid Row were examples of this. Guns-n-Roses also, to a lesser extent. Motley Crue, Dokken, original Van Halen: glam-metal Firehouse, Winger, Faster Pussycat: hair-bands.

80's heavy metal rock bands sound like they spent too much time in front of the mirror.

![]() My own thought on the subject is "If the shoe fits, wear it." What's with all the protestations about such-and-such an eighties band that looks the part not being a hair band? ![]()
