- In this one Bryan and I discuss Hair Metal in the year 1987... and, surprise, surprise, "Appetite For Destruction" leads the way. However, there were a ton of great releases during this year, so come along for the ride as we discuss one of the great years in Hair Metal History!
I've always considered 1987 my favourite year of music. I was at gigs every week, life was great, I was 19, still had my hair! Awesome times.
God bless all the ratt n rollers! Jesus saves sinners!!
God bless all the ratt n rollers! Jesus saves sinners
Unbelievable year, man! Hey, thanks for all your support, Brother, I appreciate it.
Hair nation on Sirius needs to give you guys a morning show. You two have a really good chemistry together. I’m cracking up over here. I hadn’t heard about the cult in forever. Great band.
That is a great fuckin' idea! Might have to make it an afternoon show... you know Bryan's lazy ass ain't getting up earlier than he has to...
Seriously, appreciate the kind words, Brother, I mean that.
Seen great white in 1997 at a small club in Bay City Mi fantastic, Jack is an incredible singer
Man, that dude can sing the phone book and I'd listen. Appreciate your support, Brother.
No problem I enjoyed your podcast you are very passionate about music just like I am
Another great show by the Guru on another kick ass year for great music.
If anyone's looking to step up their screen presence backgrounds, give the Guru a shout. He's got more rock memorabilia than the rock and roll hall of fame. He hooked me up big time with plaques and posters. Thanks G.
I just discovered your channel about a week ago and I'm trying to catch up on previous videos lol.
Went on a CD buying binge over the weekend and picked up:
Wildside
Roxy Blue
Love/Hate
Cold Sweat
Trying to hunt down Lillian Axe and Slik Toxik, but no luck so far.
Cheers!!
Hey, man, thank you so much... I love comments like this--the fact that you're getting something out of the shit we talk about is amazing, so thank you so much, I really do appreciate it. Good luck on Lillian Axe and Slik Toxic, man.
Another great show guy's. Here's some albums you missed that i have in my 87 collection.
Sleeze Beez - Look Like Hell (Howd'ya miss this Guru?)
Michael Monroe - Nights Are So Long
Y&T - Temptation
Twisted Sister - Love is for suckers
Finally Johnny Depp's first band, Rock City Angels self titled.
Shit, you're right on Look Like Hell! I need to turn in my Sleeze Beez fanboy card now... ;-) And I'm a huge Michael Monroe fan as well. ALMOST included Y&T and Twisted Sister, they just missed the cut. I need to revisit Rock City Angels. Appreciate you supporting the channel, man!
@@HairMetalGuru419
Thanks to you I'm a Sleeze Beez fan. Cheers!
Crazy Nights will always be my favorite KISS album. I love all the era's of KISS but Crazy Nights was the first KISS I ever heard and the chorus in Crazy Nights or Turn On The Night pump me up to this day like its my first time hearing them. Absolutely love the first Faster Pussycat album, I love the first Tigertailz album....but I am more of a fan of Kim Hookers vocals over Steevi Jaimes.
My favorite KISS album ❤❤
People give me shit for it but it's in my top 5 favorite KISS albums! Turn On The Night rules
Crazy Nights was the first KISS album I bought with my own money, so it will always be special. And I still love it, it just hasn't aged that great--man, if they had toned down the keyboards... First FP album is essential!
@@HairMetalGuru419 That's awesome you've got a similar attachment to that album. I've had so many road trips with friends cranking Crazy Nights & Turn On The Night over the years, the haters can hate. That's the KISS album that gets spun the most for me.
lol trying not to comment all through your video, this will be the last one. Jack Russel and Tracii Guns put out a CD together and it was disappointing that Russel had writing credits on one song only, Tracii had none. HOWEVER, auto tuned or not, this is the best I’ve heard Russel sound since leaving GW. Really a surprisingly great CD. Keep up the good work guys, been enjoying your videos!
Medusa by Russell/Guns. It’s a solid album!
I've heard of that album, but haven't listened to it.... I need to. Yeah, it's one of those projects where someone else writes all the songs, and they get some name artists to perform them. Jack Russell's voice is unreal when he's not struggling with his health. Hey, man, thank you so much for the kind words, I really do appreciate it.
Just woke up to this, it's going to be a desent 42nd birthday
Happy Birthday
@@waltersibert8711 thanks Brother
Happy Birthday, Brother! I hope it's awesome for you, man, and I'm glad a video from this channel is something you look forward to... seriously.
Was going to mention Love Is For Suckers but someone else already did. Another good one and it didn’t sell either but Autograph-Loud and Clear
I'm a bit stunned Bryan knows about Bonfire!
One of my fave bands, the first track I heard from them was Hard On Me from the 3rd album Point Blank, saw it on our Headbangers Ball.
Our MTV was MTV Europe so we had different presenters and shows, we had some of the American shows direct, like Remote Control and some of the music shows.
Our Headbangers Ball was presented by a German gal Kristiane Backer, (my 3rd love) and our Headbangers Ball was mostly European bands, so we had Europe, Scorpions, Helloween, TNT, etc... and Bonfire, another German outfit! Of course we heard about the big American bands also.
So I got their 3rd album first then got their first 2.
The 1st album Don't Touch The Light was a bit hit and miss but Fireworks was absolute dynamite!! Some serious good tracks on that! Best being Don't Get Me Wrong and Fantasy. The intro, main riff and solo on Don't Get Me Wrong have no business being that good!!!
The whole album is a blitzkrieg........ (Too soon??? 😏)
ua-cam.com/video/L9Uf12pePuU/v-deo.html
I absolutely love Fireworks. Have since I got the CD back in ‘87. It’s all killer and no filler.
And thank you for getting the spelling of my name correct.
Another awsome episode, love any excuse to time travel back that period of rock 👌
I'm right there with ya, Brother! And thanks, man, I appreciate it.
Always enjoy when HBB is on! A few honorable mentions for me: Lion- Dangerous Attraction, Treat- Dreamhunter, EZO - S/T, Lizzy Borden - Visual Lies, and Rock Candy - Sucker For a Pretty Face (only heard this album in the last 5 years, but its very catchy). I also gotta mention Malice - License to Kill, definitely on the heavier side, but I think most hair metal fans would love this album. Other amazing heavier albums that are my favorites from this year include those by Savatage, Warlock, Running Wild, King Diamond, Helloween etc.
Hey, Matt, thanks a lot, Brother. Damn, you're the 2nd person to mention Lion "Dangerous Attraction." I know that album, but I need to revisit. I came close to having EZO and Lizzy Borden in recent episodes, but they didn't make the cut. And, shit, Rock Candy "Sucker for a Pretty Face" is a great album! At some point I will probably mention heavier albums--hell, I love 80s Metallica. Need to get more familiar with Helloween and Savatage. Hey, Brother, thank you so much for supporting the channel, I truly appreciate it.
Damn I forgot about EZO. Great band
Great year in I was 22 in the summer of 1987. What a beautifully rocking year !!
Possibly the greatest year of the genre? I mean, shit, two albums (Hysteria and Appetite) sold over 10 million copies. Unbelievable. Hey, Brother, your support is greatly appreciated! I mean that.
I was like 10 , and heavily into Moltey Crue . This ( think May) would be the year of Girls 3 . Seeing that video , the bikes the strip bars , them going from drag queens on TOP to these bikers with razor stubble . I still love Girls record . All in the Name Of , All I Need , Dancing Glass , Bad Boy Boogie . Girls was a big time rebound from Theatre 🎭. White Lion debut was fantastic . Was this the year Bang Tango came out .. Faster Pussycat were killer , and would make a masterpiece on the second record . Seeing them on the Decline Western Civilization Doc , I started to follow them. Still dig parts of Whipped ..
Faster kicks ass
Me too 10 years old lol
What an amazing time for music. The Decline doc is essential viewing for anyone who listens to this shit. Thanks for always supporting the channel, Brother.
"Don't know what you got" has 180 million views on UA-cam. I think that's kind of impressive for a genre that was written off for so long.
Hell, yes. I'm shocked a country singer/band hasn't covered that.
Great video guys🤟
Appreciate it, Brother!
Great video dude!
Appreciate it, my Brother! Seriously...
One of my UA-cam highlights channel.
I love this stuff!!
Rocking Vibes from UK 🇬🇧 🤘🏼
Wow, still blows me away that people from the UK watch this shit. Hey, thanks a lot my man, I really appreciate you!
@@HairMetalGuru419 Shut yer face!!! 😂
I do like the Star Wars stuff in the background of Bryan's
*Cold Sweat was Marc Ferrari' s band, not Ron Keel's
*GnR supported The Cult , not the other way around.
My top 10 would be:
Whitesnake 1987
Hysteria
Appetite for Destruction
Raise Your Fist And Yell
Back From The Attack
Permanent Vacation
Pride
Crazy Nights
Love Is For Suckers
Once Bitten
Keep on rockin ' dudes! 🤘🏻
I have always loved Alice Cooper's Raise Your Fist and Yell album. Freedom should have been a huge hit. The second half of that album is a masterpiece.
A most excellent show guys !! That BONFIRE - Fireworks album is fricking awesome, not a bad song on it. A couple I would add are:
FREHLEY'S COMET - S/T
Y&T - Contagious
Thanks for another great watch !!
Frehley's Comet and Y&T were THIS CLOSE to making my list, my man! And thank you for always supporting what we do, seriously, it means a lot, Brother.
Great pick Guru with Tigertailz and great picks Brian with Faster Pussycat and TNT...and I totally agree with Brian on Tony Harnell's voice...one of my favorite voices in Rock and they had a great 3 album run with Tell No Tales,Intuition and Realized Fantasies...u guys had plenty of other great choices as well but I love when u guys pick great albums from the bands that didn't quite make the big time!Also loved the Crazy Nights pick, big fan of that album getting some love cos it gets shit on a lot..and what u guys both said about Great White describes me as well...got a lot of great songs but I'm not the biggest Great White fan either... Overall great episode as always...take care and Rock On guys🤘
Jay, thanks a lot for the kind words, Brother! Yeah, I don't know why TNT never grabbed me, it's just a bad that escaped my radar for some reason. I need to revisit. And, totally, I much prefer talking about the obscure bands over the the ones everyone knows about, but, sometimes it's a necessary evil. Hey, Brother, thank you so much for supporting the channel, it truly means a lot. --Guru
@@HairMetalGuru419 Dude I'm fine with hearing about the big bands too, I'm just saying it's awesome when the lesser known bands get some love as well!
Obsession-Methods of madness released 10/25/1987 Badass album from start to finish!
I'll check it out, man, thanks for the recommendation.
Hawk Tuah reference not ignored my friend 🤟
At least someone heard it, because I think it went way over Bryan's head. ;-)
I know you hate the Use Your Illusion albums, but I'd recommend re-listening to Use Your Illusion II. The album is almost 76 minutes long and has some amazing songs IMO. Civil War, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Breakdown, Pretty Tied Up, Locomotive (massively underrated), Estranged (my fav song ever), You Could Be Mine (overplayed, I know), and Don't Cry (alt lyrics). This is right up there with Appetite as one of my favorite albums of all time. As a whole, I enjoy it more than Use Your Illusion I.
I don’t seperate them, they are a double album put on seperate albums, probably as they are so long. They both have don’t cry too. I agree that II has more good songs than I. Less songs too if you take off don’t cry and nothing my world it’s 12 songs against 16.
I don't know that I hate the Illusions, I just think they would've been better served making one phenomenal album versus two albums with a fair share of filler. I should revisit them, and I'll start with #2 based on your recommendation... thanks for supporting the channel, man.
@@HairMetalGuru419 I was curious if all the Illusion songs I like would fit on one CD (80 min max). From UYI 1 would be Live & Let Die, Don't Cry, November Rain, Don't Damn Me, and Coma. From UYI II would be Civil War, Knockin' on Heaven's Door, Breakdown, Pretty Tied Up, Locomotive, Estranged, and You Could Be Mine. The total time comes to 81:14. If they had this song list on one album and just trimmed it 1:15, this would go down as the greatest album of all time, IMO. AFD is only 53:52 in length and Hysteria at 62:32, in comparison. I agree, 1 phenomenal album would have preferred, but the UYI albums certainly delivered a lot of great songs nonetheless.
Illusion I is better than Illusion II. II has plenty of moments of brilliance, but it's worst moments are worse than anything on I (Shotgun Blues is WAY worse from the admittedly childish Back Off B!tch). Illusions I just takes the lead for every single song working for me.

James, I appreciate you, Brother! Great list--some albums in there I need to revisit. Anyway, always appreciate your support for the channel and for what I do... I mean that.
I like Crazy Nights
Same. Just wish it wasn't so keyboard heavy. Hey, thanks for watching man.
You know, with everything you have framed, there could be a house tour video in the future! Would be kind of cool
Going to happen VERY SOON. And thanks, man, for your support.
Great year if your a dokken fan like me,back for the attack a true classic
Absolutely.
IMHO the best album to come out in 1987. Saw them open for Aerosmith and blew them out of the arena!
Rock Doll was the Kane Roberts song and video that made me buy his album, was hoping for more songs of that nature but yeah, wasn’t there. He and Kip Winger were with Alice for two albums, Constrictor and Raise Your Fist. Freedom was a great song, Kane shredded on it and the whole album was really solid. Was sad to see them both leave Alice and go solo.
Yeah, they were phenomenal... at least we got Winger and Kane solo, but Kane never really hit with anything unfortunately... Thanks for watching man.
Great White rules🤘🏻
It’s called Great Zeppelin tribute to led zeppelin.
Psycho city & let it rock are 2 fantastic albums that should have & get more recognition 🤘🏻glad you all are mentioning them.
Hey, man, thanks for watching and for commenting... I really do appreciate it. More Great White coming in the near future!
Thanks again 🤘
Man, thank YOU for always supporting what I do. I really appreciate it.
1987 is perhaps my favorite year. I was still relatively new to the heavier side of music. Up to around '85, I primarily listened to pop music. Dire Straits and ZZ Top were about as heavy as it got. '86-87 were my transition years.
01. Autograph - Loud And Clear
02. Black Sabbath - Eternal Idol
03. Dio - Dream Evil
04. Killer Dwarfs - Stand Tall
05. Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King
06. Shy - Excess All Areas
07. Twisted Sister - Love Is For Suckers
08. Deep Purple - House Of Blue Light
09. Pretty Maids - Future World
10. Warlock - Triumph And Agony
I'm right with you... wait until you see the 1985 episode--it'll be out in a week or so--and I added some of the pop/rock records I really like. I got into the heavier stuff about the same time as you. Hey, thanks for watching man.
Dont change that song and Bathroom Wall were video's off that album
Great lists, nothing really to add. I really like 1987 it's a year full of bangers. It also had some good stuff from the Thrash metal bands. I love the Sammy Hagar pick, it's one of my favorites from 1987. I would like to mention an album that's not Glam, but it's a really good one from '87 - Richard Marx - S/T, really good pop rock/AC record.
Kane Roberts is a cool guy. I follow his Facebook page and he often talks to us fans. I've been a fan since he played with Alice Cooper. 'Raise Your Fist and Yell' is my favorite Alice album. Kane's guitar tone is awesome and his solos are nicely constructed. I like his solo albums as well. I can't seem to get into his "The New Normal" album though. I've tried listening to it a few times but I still prefer the earlier stuff. Love the discussion about The Cult also. 'Electric' was the intro album for me to the band. I then went back and bought the earlier 'Love' album. Electric is more blues-based sounding while Love is more alternative based. Then 'Sonic Temple' comes out and it is also an amazing album with all great tracks. The critics were kind of unfair on 'Ceremony' saying it sounded uninspired but it's still a solid album. Billy Duffy is an under-rated guitarist. A little while later they put out a self-titled album that I really loved too.
Kane does seem like a cool dude... I should send him this video... Yeah, The Cult was on fire for a few albums, but they kind of lost me after Sonic Temple. I need to revisit Ceremony and that self-titled... I have 'em, but it's been a while. Thanks for supporting the channel, my Brother.
My #1 from 1987 was Whatever Happened To... by Soho Roses. If you take Hanoi & mix in The Buzzcocks and a little Descendents you have Soho Roses. Look them up, you'll love them. As far as Tigertaliz Young & Crazy ...that record was a bitch for the regular US record buying public to get in '87. If you weren't into underground glam, traded tapes or read Metal Forces & Kerrang, you wouldn't even know it existed. It was an import at first then it was eventually released in the U.S. on Combat, Which was a NYC label, that put out thrash and hardcore bands except for Sweet Pain (from queens) & Tigertailz. Aside from Bleeker Bob's the only stores I ever recall seeing a copy of it in was Zigzag's & this place on 86th st. (both in Brooklyn) that I can't remember the name of.
Yup, mine prime days :)
Amen.
It was such a good year Steel Panther wrote a song about it!!!
Hell, yes, they did, and I love the Panther.
Like many of you, I too was 10 in 87. Best rock year ever!
If you haven't heard TNT's debut album Knights of the New Thunder, you need to give that one a spin before you check out on them. They had a video for the song Seven Seas off of that album get pretty good air time on Headbanger's Ball. Chickenfoot rocks! Some great vocals on those albums with Mikey and Sammy harmonizing!
My List
1 Appetite for Destruction
2 Faster Pussycat ST Album
3 Girls, Girls, Girls
4 Permanent Vacation
5 Raise Your Fist and Yell
6 Whitesnake ST Album
7 Pride
8 Hysteria
9 Crazy Nights
10 Back for the Attack
Great list, Brother, we have basically the same taste in tunes, man.
Can you put up a graphic of whatever album you are discussing at the time, to stay onscreen the entire time you are discussing it? It would be really helpful. Thanks!
a heavily overlooked, but awesome record from 1987 is loverboy's wildside. i got that album when i was in the 4th grade...as the notorious video was played a lot. during dial mtv each day, i remember seeing the top 5 as kiss -reason to live
loverboy - notorious
poison - i won't forget you
bon jovi - you give love a bad name
white lion - wait
alas, the loverboy album is a fantastic record, and one of the best songs, love will rise again, was actually a bon jovi song that they bought from jon and richie.
it is bizarre to me that most loverboy fans hate the notorious record...and i don't really understand why. its rocking, and it seems like the next logical move in their catalog. the album basically ended their run as a top band in the rock genre, and there would be no new material for a very long time. the singer would make some pretty noteworthy soundtrack appearances over the years (top gun, dream a little dream).
Damn, I love Loverboy... just recorded the 1985 episode and was THIS close to putting "Loving Every Minute of It" on the list. I need to revisit the Wildside album... gonna do that tonight. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge, my man.
Hey guru an episode of the best live albums by hair metal bands might be an idea for an episode. And don’t worry if something got changed in the studio after because they all did to a point some just more than others but might be an idea brother 👍🏼
Good idea--I don't know if I have a ton of knowledge on live albums... they've just never been my thing, even though I usually buy em, haha. Thanks for the suggestion, Brother.
Lol you know what I don’t know if I could come up with 10 myself. Maybe 5 lol. I get an E for effort lol🤷🏻
Big recommend is Steevie Jaimz my private hell (2022) remaster some really good songs , great work as always
Shit, I think I have that CD... I need to revisit it. Thanks for the support, man, I really appreciate it.
Sammy Hagar is the Slash of singers, popular huge band, great solo stuff and supergroup
Check out Stormwave and there 1988 album hero’s of the night
Checking it out now. Good shit.
Van Halen has played 55 & Eagles Fly as a full band in concert. They have NOT played Give To Live. The Give To Live version on the VH live record is just Sammy playing it solo acoustic.
Guru..was that at Met Center? Hot in the Shade show? I was there...mainly for Faster
It was actually in West Fargo at the Fairgrounds. Faster Pussycat was fucking amazing.
Guru..you are from MN, right? There's a pawn shop in Maplewood that has a signed gold record of Crazy Nights.....he'll take less than sticker price if interested
Hey, Brother, I'm actually in Fargo, ND. Where are you at? I love visiting Minneapolis to hit Cheapo CDs/Records...
Lets go baby!!!
Let's! haha
Electric was an awesome record and if memory serves....GNR actually opened up for them on that tour
Shit, I think you are right about GNR opening for the Cult... thanks for the comment, my man.
87 was the best year for this music
There's definitely a point to be made that it is. Love your profile name and pic, man.
@@HairMetalGuru419Definitely my favorite year. Thank you, much appreciated!
Glam rules. My favorite genre
2 good looking dudes not models but close lol😂 love these top albums from all the years. My favorite years 87 to 89 best music.
Yes, two good looking dudes... but I'm better looking... right? Hey, thanks for watching man, I really do appreciate it.
Of course you're better looking lol younger looking to. You're we love the channel
Guns N Roses opened for The Cult on the Electric tour
You are absolutely right! Thanks, my man.
Curious, is Lizzy Borden just not known outside of Los Angeles or do you guys not like them? Or do you not consider them glam metal?
Here is my Top 10
Guns N Roses
Lizzy Borden
The Cult
Faster Pussycat
Great White
Dokken
White Lion
Whitesnake
Aerosmith
Def Leppard
I do like Lizzy Borden but I’m not that deep into them. But that’s been their career: just on the fringe of beeing big.
@@HairBandBasement I think they are most underated band of the 80s but they alternate between glam metal, shock rock and traditional metal. The Visual Lies album in 1987 is somewhere in the middle and is absolutely brilliant while 1989’s Master of Disguise takes on 70s glam head on. The earlier stuff is Alice Cooper inspired shock rock with dashes of Maidenesque metal. Hers a cool cover duet with Betsy of a 70s Tubes glam song from 1987 EP. ua-cam.com/video/kom6ar4VLHs/v-deo.htmlsi=NHo5kJrz7_H8imQn
Picking albums for the deserted island thing … Deal With the Devil is a must have. One of my all time favorites. Finally had a chance to see Lizzy live, opening for Angels and Demons. Never anywhere near me through the years.
I've had Lizzy close to making lists at least once. I love Master of Disguise but it was going to be hard to make the 1989 list--there were so many fucking albums. I considered Visual Lies for this one. I like LB, I just don't think it's ever gone beyond that for me. They were phenomenal in The Decline Part II doc... Thanks for watching, man.
1987... Was third form at high school in Taranaki, New Zealand. 13 years old... Hysteria man
Damn, New Zealand in the house!
Keel disappointed me when that band disappeared the lead singer I seen in a interview and he said he is going back to his roots of music and said he's going country now that is a joke it was just for money trying to change into a country artist, Kane Robert's when he had that guitar in his hands it looked like a toy that guy was ripped,I remember he is in the raise your fist and yell video,Alice Cooper
No certain order
1. Mötley Crüe- girls album… mtv didn’t play the girls video much unless it was on late and they eventually stopped playing it soon after and banned you’re all I need and never showed it one time so really all the crue had that got played on this album was wildside.
2. Great white-once bitten…always been one of my favorite albums of the 80’s.
3. GnR- appetite…I don’t need to say anything here
4. White lion- pride…Vito Bratta is fantastic and the rhythm section was underrated
5. Aerosmith- permanent vacation…great all around album that doesn’t get enough love
6. Whitesnake- s/t… still sounds great and it is a definite mood in a good way
7. Dokken- Back for attack…my favorite Dokken album
8. Faster pussycat- s/t…they instantly became a favorite of mine from the beginning. Of course love bathroom wall and don’t change that song but also love smash alley, got no room for emotion and bottle in front of me
9. Def Leppard-Hysteria…I know it got overplayed because of all the hits which doesn’t mean they aren’t good tunes but songs like gods of war, love and affection,don’t shoot shotgun, hysteria, run riot are great. Still a great album
10. Tuff Luck- S/T…I bought this in 87 at the age of 15 just because of the cover and for me it didn’t disappoint. They are a band out of Florida and wished they would’ve got a better shake. They have a second album that is cool as well but for me this recording reminds me of motley’s too fast for love album because of the raw recording and it just makes it that much better to me. I love the more under produced albums sometimes. Some great tunes are Take it or leave it.. sleaze if you please…up and down. Seriously love the whole album. Hopefully more people will at least check it out. Hey I’m 52 years old and as far as I’m concerned it’s still 1987 lol🤘🏼Another great episode Guru. Keep them coming 🙏🏼
Sorry I forgot my alternate albums.
Alternates:
1. Keel-s/t…my favorite keel album
2. Kiss-crazy nights… I liked it better back then than now
3. Bonfire- fireworks… cool album. Their album Don’t touch the light is great. It has a cool ballad called you make me feel. Love that tune but it came out the year before lol
4. Y&T- contagious…I used to like this album way more than now but still revisite it here and there. A good 4-5 songs that I still love
I need to revisit that Tuff Luck album. Have you ever seen the documentary about them? We basically have the same taste in albums, Brother. Hey, man, thank you for your support!
No I haven’t. Where can I watch it at. I would love that man
That cult album is great
Hell yes
They have a huge following and they sound fantastic live
I think Bonfire just had a great collective sense of humour. They also covered "I Wish I Was In Dixie" - acoustic and metal versions....
Okay, I gotta check that shit out...

Great year for the heavier stuff also Metallica garage days,exodus, testament, king diamond, just to name a handful that had released music in 1987,great year
Love 80s Metallica... and actually like some Exodus and Testament. Never really spent much time with KD.
I like the alternate version of wait
Jeez, do I know that version?
@HairMetalGuru419 it's a demo or something. It's close to the same but it has a different....flow to it I guess
@HairMetalGuru419 it's on UA-cam music is a original studio demo. I would think you probably heard it
@@tcb7098 Maybe I have, I'll go check it out again though. Thanks man.
Crazy Nights did go platinum and obviously gold since that comes first.
Speaking of KISS, since you asked about band members hanging stuff up, Gene has A TON of stuff up on walls and in display cases. I also know Erik Turner, Dee Snider, and Bret Michaels have stuff up. Dokken too.
Honestly could never get into Helix. Same with Krokus. Just could never get into their stuff.
Pyromania didn't go 10x platinum til 2004. It wasn't anywhere near that when Hysteria came out. Just saying. It was maybe platinum or double platinum at that point. What's sad is that even with the success of Hysteria and Pyromania, it didn't add too many sales to "On Through'" or High N Dry" as neither of them has certified beyond 2x platinum. Both deserve much better.
Witchboard is the movie you were thinking of.
Hey, thanks for all the great info, man. I'm into Helix and Krokus, but I hear you... I can't get into TNT for some reason. I think High n Dry benefitted from Pyromania, but, yeah, it should've sold much more.
@@HairMetalGuru419 Honestly can't get into TNT either. I just feel no pull from them.

I loved Hooked as the best GW album … but Once was first and definitely wore that one out
dudes you gotta wear some wigs if you're gonna do a HAIR metal channel, I'm for serious! lol
I always find it hard to disagree deeply with you 2.... Maybe it's because you're such good looking guys... The halo affect they call it!! 😅 😂
For me, The number 1 album of 87 has to be Whitesnake '87... It was referred to as Whitesnake '87 here in the UK.
Appetite For Destruction was something else, I still have the original banned album cover version which I prob got the weekend it came out! lol... Little 15 year old me going down to the record shop in the town centre wearing my Bon Jovi T-shirt and picking up AFD!! The passers bye looking at me and thinking to themselves, 'look at that young boy with such an offensive album artwork'! lololol!
But, you are right how G&R just dropped off a cliff.... Incredible debut album, sheer devastation. Lies was great, but then they just dive bombed.... Maybe that's the drugs and egos getting in the way, like you said, living off the glory of that 1 album, but time passes you bye and so does the industry!!
But Whitesnake '87 is the epitome of that era, the whole album is 80's rock excess.
If anyone ever asks you is there a single song that can put across the whole rock/hair metal era, you say yes, and you play them Still Of The Night! Every 80's trope is there, it's got like, 32 different riffs that are used during the song, meandering screeching solos, keyboard melodies Beethoven would be jealous of and that world famous rock cello solo!!!
This 1 song IS the 80's distilled into a tour de force of hair, jeans, leather and sexual tension!! LOL!
Whitesnake '87! Greatest album of the year, decade, era!!!
Always great to listen to you 2 shitlords meme on each other for an hour and half.... Keep up the good work and we'll keep tuning in!!
Still of the Night was the song that got me into Whitesnake. Was huge fan of them in high school. I love the old school blues/rock Whitesnake!

@@HairMetalGuru419 I sent you a message. Call me
I loved in 1990 when I heard Mudhoney - nirvana - sound garden - mother love bone - I was like thank god In 87’ Janes addiction was so refreshing. And Metallica then. Guns N’ Roses was the only kinda hair metal. And who was real. They saved the genre. But yeah grunge coming in and changing the whole thing was amazing really
That's cool, I never hated any of those bands... I thought there was room for everyone.
DIRTY LOOKS Rip It out
I think that was years later? They did have earlier albums than Cool From the Wire, but basically demos, not national releases.
Slave To The Machine.. I have songs from this one and I have a song from rip it out on my channel
Hawk Tuah be a good band name
I may change my name to the Hawk Tua of Hair Metal.
@@HairMetalGuru419 lol damn
