We have to bring hair metal and hard rock back into the open. Day by day, rock music is being degraded due to bands such as fall out boy, greenday, all American rejects, good charlotte, etcÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ These talentless freaks are giving rock n' roll a bad name. What happened to the sex, drugs and rock nÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ roll? What happened to the sex, the leather, the hair?! TodayÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s (hate to call emÃ¢â‚¬â„¢) Ã¢â‚¬Å“rockstarsÃ¢â‚¬Â do not like rockstars. Check this link out:

Anyway we have to go major radio stations like z100 and tell them to stop playing garbage and start playing real music. Complain to as many radio stations as you can and tell your friends and family members to join in too. Start petitions, protest (like the what the KISS Army did) Tell MTV to stop showing reality TV shows and crappy music videos and to start playing the music videos that made them big in the 80Ã¢â‚¬â„¢s.

Spread the word and get everyone back into hair metal!!

Good tell as many people as possible, I'm not going to stand here and watch rock n' roll die. If we want new talented hard rock bands to come out, then we as consumers and listeners have to set the stage for them!

VH1 Classic done a Hair Metal version of headbanger's ball for about 3 months, if they can get that back up or get MTV to put more Hair Metal into headbanger's ball, that would be awesome.
Also, Underground hair metal bands need to start getting known, writing their own songs and stop covering songs.

I wouldn't call any of those people talentless freaks. I think they're very talented. Just give them a chance. Times change and new performers gain popularity. That's just the way it goes. And I don't think they're going anywhere, no matter how much anyone protests. Don't you think there's room for all types of music? You don't have to be their biggest fan, but just respect them for their talent.

Avenged Sevenfold, Shadows Fall, Unearth, and Lordi are really about the only new popular bands I can stomach. I generally hate all of the emo, hardcore, and hip hop music that's ben popular for the last 5-8 years. I consider this music a phrase that's going to die soon (I'll give it another 3-4 years), and just like 50s rock n roll made somewhat of a comeback in the 80s, I think it's going to revolve full circle, and 80s music is going to be somewhat popular again in the next decade.

Hell, it's already starting to make somewhat of a comback, check out this new band Blessed By a Broken Heart. They started out as a full metalcore band, but their new album has obvious elements of glam (catchy choruses, keyboards, guitar solos, etc.) I think they're going to be one of the bands that are going to bring good ol' rock 'n' roll back. At least I hope so.

Sex drugs and rock and roll now that is what it's all about! I have nothing against good chralotee (please don't hurt me) But it certainly isn't real rock and roll!

We are fortunate enough to have a few pretty good classic rock stations in my area, and they happen to play a healthy amount of Glam and hard rock, although they do ocassionally try to sneak in a little grunge, but it's still not all that bad!

i honestly just decided grunge killed rock n roll

i mean after hair metal faded away grunge became popular then the more mainstream stuff like nickelback and 3 doors down which both have good songs but it was just downhill from there

That too, although you would be surprised by how many people still don't have a CD player in their car, and sometimes they don't even have a casette deck! Does anyone know if they even make Mp3 players for the car yet?

In my art class (hate it but my school requires me to take it), my teacher has a stereo system (big one) that you can plug your ipod into and so a few weeks ago, my friend plugs in his iphone and starts playing 'Round and Round' by Ratt and everyone was headbanging lightly to it! Including the people who hated hair/glam metal said it was awesome and they didn't know it was glam. When they asked who it was, I told them straight up in their face that it was glam metal while doing the \m/ and they were surprised! So it goes to show that glam/hair metal still has a chance!! Don't give up, keep pushing and most importantly Rock the fuck on!!

See, it just goes to show that many people claim to dislike Glam out of ignorance, as opposed to from actually giving it a chance. Have you ever met a David Bowie or Queen fan who claimed to hate Glam, despite the fact that both of them were so important to the 70's Glam scene?

What I do is I have a cassete adapter that you can attach a cd or mp3 player to, and I just plug my ipod in, and I'm jaming.

I knew about the existence of those mp3 adapters, but what I was not sure of is if they have any sort of built in mp3 players for cars yet. They probably exist somewhere, but they aren't the most common yet.

We have to keep rock n' roll alive! Don't give up and keep trying. I've already gotten many of my friends into hair metal, and some them won't listen to anything but hair metal now. It still has a chance, today's youth is just not aware of it. Remember everyone, rap= retards attempting poetry

I tried doing that with my friends, but they're so bent on sucking Slipknot's dick that it's pretty much futile by now.

Slipknot destroyed Rock, they destroyed Metal, they destroyed good taste, so don't even get me started on that sad excuse of a band. Nu-Metal and Metal-Core need to go rot and get off my radio airwaves! But since that's what most of todays weak-minded youth seem to like...

Dude I am with you. I am a metal soldier, I have been doing that for the past two years in this town. Its funny though, on the rock station their starting to play 70's and 80's stuff, mostly at night, so I think I might have made a contribution. Still its not enough, and on the "Classic Rock" or what I call Classic Crock station they play Crosby, Stills and Nash, that type of garbage that isn't even rock. Been bugging them, they know me by name over there now. They used my phone call in a sound clip for a ad for their radio station where they have for and against the station. My friends it is a uphill battle to try to restore real rock, screw Mtv which should be called Rtv for Reality Television because they play no music on there at all. Shit you can go on youtube or any other site and see whatever videos you want and there is online internet radio stations that play the stuff we like. Still we need to fight the pop/cRap axis of evil. Onward Allies of Metal and Rock!

What we really need is for new glam metal bands to form. The only problem with that is that most people today are so caught up on the whole "HAIR METUL IS GAY!!1!111 LOLOLOLOL!!!1!11" philosophy along wiht the fact that most people are sheep, meaning that they just do whatever is hip at the time that I really do not like the chances of it actually happening.

Dude I am with you there. In this town its either stoner hippies who listen to the Eagles, wanna be "gangsta" cRap fans, and those douches who wear super tight pants, sweaters and hair covering their face, they listen to "indie" bands. Yeah Fall Out Boy is really "indie", whatever. I want glam to come out again, on the other hand it will become another fad for the above leeches to latch on to. Like you I don't know if I want it to happen, it is cool when it is our own personal thing. Its like a community. On the other hand there is alot of bands who deserve the success and bands that never got it back in the day that I'd like to get their just desserts. Sure if glam became popular it would be another fad but us real fans would stick around and not be like lemmings to the next fad that comes along. Most people who call Hair Metal "Gay" have really never listened to it, they just say it because other people are saying it. I've asked a couple of these hip dip shits if they can name any of the bands or songs, their reply "Don't know because their gay". That says it all.

I never said I didn't want it to happen. What I meant was that I didn't like the chances of glam becoming popular again, because the chances of a glam revival happening are pretty slim.

- IWP

Agreed. I just was operating on a "what if" assumption. On the whole I would like it to come back, it would beat all the shit thats out there right now. I think though I'd be a little annoyed at the Johnny Come Latelys who said glam was stupid or gay but now claim to like it. It would kind of piss me off to have the bandwagon I've been on for so many years crowded by people who would jump off to the next one that looked little prettier. I don't know, just saying.

Yeah, but there already are new Glam bands forming all the time, they just rarely ever get the attention that they deserve. But hey, screw the mainstream media! They are always too caught up in what the latest trends are to even really care about what's good music or not.

There are tons of new bands out there and they are forming on a daily basis. Having worked in radio; however, I tend to believe that they will stay true to their formats. We may get some night time airplay, but that is going to be from DJ's that are rebelling. We may hit some play with "classic" rock stations, but mostly they have a prescribed formula that they go by. And radio in general doesn't really care what people who are not in their advertisers target audience have to say. If you are in doubt, just check out some of the old episodes of WKRP in Cincinati.
