Back when I was a teen in the early nineties, it was "uncool" to admit you liked Glam Metal. As much as we loved Thrash and Death Metal we were all secretly listening to Glam and not admitting it. As a guitar player I always appreciated Reb Beach and Warren from Ratt, who had amazing tone! Thanks for the vid!
@@DBSG1976 --- well shit we gotta blame somebody ha ha --- all I know is that when teens started worshipping Cobain and dissing the hair metal bands, I knew rock was dead --- I dont listen to music to become depressed LOL
@@jaredandrews6133 --- I always loved the debut album of the Bullet Boys --- they were obviously copying Roth VH but they were good players and those songs rocked
Glam is my favourite genre even though I consider it hard rock. I collect it on cassette tape and have ballparks 350-400 glam metal tapes. I’m really getting into Vixen lately. Some of their songs lean more pop than rock but Jan (R.I.P.) had some really good guitar work.
In others metal youtubers' channels, I almost never see them talking about Glam (and when they do, it's to shit on it lol). Admire that you're not afraid to say glam metal is great. BTW, nice list
@@fredwerza3478 Deep Purple - Smoke On the Water , Humble Pie - 30 Days in the Hole , Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever , KISS - Rock n Roll All Night , Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love , Foreigner - Double Vision , Journey - Wheel in the Sky , and Sweet - Fox On the Run would have been considered Hair Metal songs if MTV were around in the 1970s , all of these Hit Songs would have been in Heavy Rotation on Headbanger's Ball
@@brycetalksmetal Agreed brother. SO many caught so much shit just because of what genre in which they were placed. If you watch Stars, the charity initiative by Dio you will see so many featured. He didn't frown upon talent, he embraced it and featured them.
RATT, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, twisted sister, andAlice Cooper are the only glam metal bands I listen to. But I will definitely check these other bands out!
Stellar list! Love it! And super jealous that you're seeing Winger, Firehouse, and Bulletboys on Friday! Please upload clips of that show for us! And have a super fun time too! 😎🎸🎶🎤
FireHouse are amazing. If it wasn't for your channel I wouldn't have discovered them and bought the debut, which is bloody fantastic. Keep up the great work, mate!
Steeler and Keel were great first wave glam metal bands as well. "Heaven's edge", a glam metal band that was late to the game released a pretty sick album. Awesome guitar and vocals. "Bad reputation" and "play dirty" are great tracks on the album.
Low key LA Guns - Hollywood Vampires is a personal favorite of mine. I like the chances they took on that record with more Zeppelin and psychedelic influences. I think it all sounded great.
Great list! I am proud to say I have seen EVERY band you listed in this video live back in the day except for Bang Tango and LA Guns (I did see Steve Riley in WASP though). Awesome times!
RATT Dokken Whitesnake Great White Cinderella White Lion ( Vito Bratta is stupid good ) Motley Crue Vinnie Vincent Invasion Yngwie Malmsteen ( some is hair metal) So many others . 80’s hair metal there’s nothing like it , my absolute favorite. Congrats on 7k subs Bryce! UA-cam icon , you’re excellent at what you do man .
Love most of these bands! The genre gets shit on for no reason. Cheesy? Sometimes. But the musicianship is Top notch with most bands from the era. Great guitar playing!! Dimartini, Mars, Lynch, Vito, Tom Keifer.. So good.
I personally wouldn't call Dokken a glam metal band but still a good list. And I like to see how you like glam as much as you like Death, Thrash, Black and traditional metal.
YES Dokken was the GLAM even though Don doesn't like to think that,,but I think they were the best Rock band of the 80's!! I have most of Dokkens CDs as you went over them in your other video.(RATT IS MY SECOND FAVE OF THIS ERA,, I HAVE THEIR BEST OF RATT CD!!!)(CINDERELLA AND WINGER MY 3RD AND 4TH) I'm in my 60's and grew up in all these amazing bands days, I LOVE playing "In my Dreams" on my electric guitars !! I'm a metal head for sure and appreciate all these bands and many more such as Slayer,Metallica,ext........ I JUST SUBBED,, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRYCE !!!!!!💯💯💯

Tuff All band above had the glam look and music. I could've included Firehouse, Tyketto, Trixter, Kingdom Come etc but where do you stop?😄 I consider bands like GnR, Skid Row, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat to be less glam and more "street/sleaze" than those mentioned above. In saying that Ratt, Poison, the Crue can easily be in that genre aswell. ALL THESE BANDS THAT STOOD FOR GLAM, STREET n SLEAZE, HARD ROCK in the 80's and early 90's were just simply amazing. (Cinderella my all time fav)
Was listening to White Lion's "Mane Attraction" today, there are some great songs on this albumn that never stood out to me back in the day. "Lights & Thunder", "She's Got Everything" (great intro!!), "Leave Me Alone", "Love Don't Come Easy".
My top 10 - 10. Bon Jovi 9. Skid Row 8. Motley Crue 7. Whitesnake 6. Dokken 5. Great White 4. Ratt 3. White Lion 2. Def Leppard 1. Cinderella P.S. "I wanna Rock - Rock !!!!!!!!
Motley Crue Ratt Def Leppard Dokken Cinderella L.A. Guns Tesla Quiet Riot White Lion 80's Kiss Warrant Helix Damn Yankees Slaughter Winger Skid Row I laugh whenever somebody says there were no good glam metal bands. Granted, I find certain bands like Poison and Bon Jovi to be abysmal, that's just my opinion. Not a fact. There's plenty of great glam metal out there.
Great list. I've seen all of them back in the day. As far as playing live the 2 best I've seen that were Always good... Dokken and Jetboy. The guys in Jetboy were the greatest as far as meeting and greeting their fans.
I like Glam Metal. Great stuff, Great vocal, great guitarrs! I agree upon your list. Last time i was at a concert, a guy stopped me and told me that he appreciated my RATT patch on my killer jacket! He told me that that is something "You don't se a lot".
This is my favorite genre in all of music. If I were to somehow do a list like this, there would be tons of entries. All my life, I've been captivated by this genre. This and the thrash bands of the 80s are the best! I also really enjoy Steel Panther. Even if they're a parody, they still kick ass and are also hilarious. 🤘😎🎸🤘
I'm a big fan of some glam metal but I am also a huge fan of thrash metal, old school US power metal, early progressive metal, first wave death metal, old school doom metal etc..
I was around the scene when glam metal was at its peak. Some I loved, some I didn't and some I pretended not to like because it wasn't 'cool' #10 was part of that final category but there is no denying the talent. Winger, I agree with, as well. Reb Beach was a monster and saw him when he joined Dokken. I believe Kip was also bassist for Alice Cooper before branching out on his own. Awesome to hear he's still putting out music and hope you have fun at the show! Oh, White Lion. Huge fan and I agree, 1st album tops Pride. Vito was a monster player and here in NJ, on WSOU, he got his due. Well respected. I don't think anyone had better hair than Mike Tramp. Jesus, what I would have done to have his mane. And that was glam metal, so looks had a lot to do with it. Just these guys backed it up with talent and great tunes. Crue: first two releases were beyond amazing and when I first got into metal. But after that they lost me. And then there was the accident that killed Hanoi Rocks, sorry for the pun or whatever you call it. They better be on the list, btw. HOLY SHIT, IT'S VAIN!!!! Omg, I am stunned. I honestly never expected to see such an awesome band ever place on any list. I do believe Davy also produces and did at least a couple of Third Angel releases. Fuckin good on ya Bryce, you know your shit! Cinderella, what can I say except Keifer is the band. As stated, amazing musician and filled the genre with so many great tunes. Love his bluesy influences so much more, as well. And now it's on to the Los Angeles Guns. Dude, you are hitting all the right notes for me. Another fave of mine. Love when you wear the shirt as you may recall I mentioned. Dude, how could you not reference that Over the Edge was featured in the Keanu Reeves classic Point Blank?! One of their best along with Ballad of Jayne, IMO. Hollywood Vampires. Well placed. Ratt was great, but never was a fave of mine. Do agree Warren is one of the more underrated and more talented guitarists. And now it's the top and you did not disappoint. Appreciate you qualifying Skid Row, that was important. Dokken are deserved number ones. I could pontificate on tunes but that would be a thousand more words. Would just like to say that Donnie's solo release, Up from the Ashes...best Dokken recording of all time top to bottom. And that's saying something because their first 4 or 5 were spectacular. Honorables will follow because I am fucking tired but loved this Bryce, well done
DOKKEN, my favorite band since 1987, but STRYPER, TYKETTO, XYZ, SARAYA, TREAT and HARDLINE should be in this list, also SHY, GUARDIAN, EUROPE, and SHARK ISLAND are interesting options.
How much have you listened to Dog Eat Dog by Warrant? I just discovered it last year, and it's freaking amazing! Also, I think you're sleeping on Heartbreak Station by Cinderella. Sounds like a cross between ACDC and The Stones!
Great list. Hair metal is my classic rock and doesn't get the credit it deserves in rock and roll history. My local radio station doesn't play it enough it's always ac dc and metallica over and over. I think we're long past the stage of it not being cool to listen to hair metal. It's not 1995 anymore.
Damn, glad you remembered Vain! Too many people overlook them. Just subscribed to your channel. I've done some vinyl unboxings over on my channel you might like.
The hair band era was the greatest ever as far as I'm concerned. It was my era. Glad to see a young guy like yourself appreciating the music from the 80s. Kip Winger is a great guy. Miles Away is my favorite song by Winger. Its a ballad but I love the ballads from that era. I remember you by Skid Row is another great one
Glam metal is the best here is a pretty good list of my favorites. 1.) Firehouse 2.) Ratt 3.) Europe 4.) Dokken 5.) Skid Row 6.) Slaughter 7.) Whitecross 8.) Hold Soldier 9.) Def Leppard 10.) White Lion 11.) Bon Jovi 12.) Warrent 13.) Damn Yankess 14.) Cinderalla 15.) Kix 16.) Dio 17.) Vixen 18.) Night Ranger 19.) Danger Danger 20.) Guiffria
II grew up in the 80's and I'm good with the top of this list. I'd have Whitesnake in the top three, but maybe they don't qualify because of their age. RATT is no doubt my #1!
It’s tough when talking about some bands especially Whitesnake since they started off as a straight forward bluesy 70s hard rock band then evolved to fit in with a lot of these bands in the mid-late 80s
Hallo Bryce Yeah what a great list and Video as well ! 10. Keel 09. Rough Cutt 08. Great White 07. Kix 06. Mötley Crue 05. Cinderella 04. Ratt 03. Crazy Lixx 02. Steel Panther 01. Yeeesss Dokken ❤ Greetings from Heiko
Right top ten Motley Crue Dokken Ratt Cinderella La Guns Keel Kix White Lion Great White Honourable mentions to Tigertaiz, Warrant,Britny Fox, King kobra,Rough Cutt, Vain, Winger, And more Also Icon althought i would say they are on the líne between Glam and straight Heavy Metal.
I'm a child of the 80s so I have a soft spot for glam metal I like other types of metal and rock too My absolute favorite glam band is ratt with dokken a close second Cinderella, winger and motley crue are all awesome and rank very High in my books too
Metal-heads who claim to hate glam metal are usually hypocrites, they usually have a few glam metal bands they enjoy like Ratt, Dokken and early Crüe. A lot of these glam metal albums have a song or two that never got airplay that are either close to traditional heavy metal or straight up heavy metal.
I don't listen to much metal anymore but I HATED glam metal (especially being into hardcore punk and hip hop) but ironically now I respect those guys so much.. Lots of talent and true ROCKSTAR BIG D ENERGY lol. It's funny how these guys had more balls than most so called bands have now
I prefer to refer to them as hair metal: 1. Dokken 2. Steelheart 3. Tyketto 4. Tesla 5. Stryper 6. Great White 7. TNT 8. XYZ 9. Hardline 10. House of Lords
The way I look at it is Glam metal is a subgenre of heavy metal so all of these bands could be referred to as either or... Dokken is definitely one the heavier bands tho
I definitely leaned toward the harder side of metal when these albums were released, I was more into NWOBHM bands and the thrash bands that followed in their wake. But now that I'm a bit older and have some more mature reflection, I can definitely say that yea, those glam bands really did make a lot of soft, corny music.
If you are unfamiliar with XYZ (I'm sure you are) they are a fuckin killer glam metal/hard rock band. They also wrote some straight heavy metal tracks on their two releases in 80s and early 90s
Great list of my childhood 80's had the best music with Dokkon Cindalla Motley Crue Guns N'Roses Metallica L.A Guns My favorite brands from the 80's Guns N'Roses Metallica Motley Crue Judaa Priest Just subscribed.
L.A. Guns Hollywood Vampires album is great! RATT and L.A. Guns both have great songs in a great movie Point Break! That movie actually got me into those two bands! Nobody Rides For Free and Over The Edge are kickass songs in my opinion! Body Talk is great too featured in The Golden Child film.
Agreed with most of your picks but for me, no way I’d leave Danger Danger & Warrant off the Top 10

No Steel Panther? Dude... Great top but I like Twisted Sister, Europe, Pink Cream 69, Bon Jovi, Danger Danger, Damn Yankees, Britny Fox, Def Leppard and Van Halen of course. 🤘🏻🤠🎸

Crashdiet.that dude took it all too far in his own mind.
Enjoyed the longer video format here. Good picks and some unique choices that aren't on every other list.
Hey Bryce, I'd love to see you do a top 10 sleaze albums. Some of these bands could fall in there but some are not sleazy at all..
L.A. Guns is pure sleaze rock.
Stellar list! Love it! And super jealous that you're seeing Winger, Firehouse, and Bulletboys on Friday! Please upload clips of that show for us! And have a super fun time too! 😎🎸🎶🎤
FireHouse are amazing. If it wasn't for your channel I wouldn't have discovered them and bought the debut, which is bloody fantastic. Keep up the great work, mate!
Always love seeing your lists with the subgenres in metal. I love to see bands I might end up listening to after
Nice shirt, probably the second best album by Priest in my opinion
Steeler and Keel were great first wave glam metal bands as well.
"Heaven's edge", a glam metal band that was late to the game released a pretty sick album. Awesome guitar and vocals.
"Bad reputation" and "play dirty" are great tracks on the album.

Dude, Vain is so underrated! Without You is great, probably my favorite but I also really like Who’s Watching You and Beat The Bullet!

I consider bands like GnR, Skid Row, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat to be less glam and more "street/sleaze" than those mentioned above. In saying that Ratt, Poison, the Crue can easily be in that genre aswell.
ALL THESE BANDS THAT STOOD FOR GLAM, STREET n SLEAZE, HARD ROCK in the 80's and early 90's were just simply amazing.

Winger, I agree with, as well. Reb Beach was a monster and saw him when he joined Dokken. I believe Kip was also bassist for Alice Cooper before branching out on his own. Awesome to hear he's still putting out music and hope you have fun at the show!

Dude, how could you not reference that Over the Edge was featured in the Keanu Reeves classic Point Blank?! One of their best along with Ballad of Jayne, IMO. Hollywood Vampires. Well placed.
Ratt was great, but never was a fave of mine. Do agree Warren is one of the more underrated and more talented guitarists.
And now it's the top and you did not disappoint. Appreciate you qualifying Skid Row, that was important. Dokken are deserved number ones. I could pontificate on tunes but that would be a thousand more words. Would just like to say that Donnie's solo release, Up from the Ashes...best Dokken recording of all time top to bottom. And that's saying something because their first 4 or 5 were spectacular.

How much have you listened to Dog Eat Dog by Warrant? I just discovered it last year, and it's freaking amazing! Also, I think you're sleeping on Heartbreak Station by Cinderella. Sounds like a cross between ACDC and The Stones!
Don’t know if you know them but King Kobra is probably my favorite. Super underrated and Carmine Appice jams on those records!
Great list. Hair metal is my classic rock and doesn't get the credit it deserves in rock and roll history. My local radio station doesn't play it enough it's always ac dc and metallica over and over. I think we're long past the stage of it not being cool to listen to hair metal. It's not 1995 anymore.
Crue,warrant,Cinderella, Slaughter White Lion, Dokken, Ratt only glam I like 👍
Firehouse, although late to the scene, had suck a killer debut! Also, Reach for the Sky is one of the best songs in that genre. 🤟
Damn, glad you remembered Vain! Too many people overlook them. Just subscribed to your channel.
I've done some vinyl unboxings over on my channel you might like.
The hair band era was the greatest ever as far as I'm concerned. It was my era. Glad to see a young guy like yourself appreciating the music from the 80s. Kip Winger is a great guy. Miles Away is my favorite song by Winger. Its a ballad but I love the ballads from that era. I remember you by Skid Row is another great one
Y&t, kiss, trixter, ratt, xyz, Baton Rouge, Stryper, danger danger, damn Yankees, Nelson

1. Ratt

3. Dokken

Awesome list! I personally would have put Firehouse higher on it. Another band that should have been in there is Europe! Anyways, job well done 🤘.
II grew up in the 80's and I'm good with the top of this list. I'd have Whitesnake in the top three, but maybe they don't qualify because of their age. RATT is no doubt my #1!
It’s tough when talking about some bands especially Whitesnake since they started off as a straight forward bluesy 70s hard rock band then evolved to fit in with a lot of these bands in the mid-late 80s
If you can consider them Glam Metal, I’d put W.A.S.P over all of these.
I don’t consider them glam metal but I like them better than all the bands on this list and they’re in my overall top 10 all time
WASP definitely reigns supreme over all the other bands that played the Sunset Strip.
W.A.S.P is glam metal. Just as much Motley Crue, Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister.
@Ralof Exactly, none of those bands that I mentioned are Glam. Glam never existed to be honest.
@@TemplarShad0w GLAM is slander. it literally stands for Gay LA Music

Honourable mentions to Tigertaiz, Warrant,Britny Fox, King kobra,Rough Cutt, Vain, Winger, And more
Also Icon althought i would say they are on the líne between Glam and straight Heavy Metal.
I'm a child of the 80s so I have a soft spot for glam metal
I like other types of metal and rock too
My absolute favorite glam band is ratt with dokken a close second
Cinderella, winger and motley crue are all awesome and rank very High in my books too
The hair and makeup overshadowed the music in my opinion. Alot of Great Musicians from this Era some of the most talented I think!!🎸🎸🎸
Metal-heads who claim to hate glam metal are usually hypocrites, they usually have a few glam metal bands they enjoy like Ratt, Dokken and early Crüe.
A lot of these glam metal albums have a song or two that never got airplay that are either close to traditional heavy metal or straight up heavy metal.
You know your stuff! Great choices, I love how ratt and dokken are tops! I'm a massive glam fan! Love it, and yes you can like all the genres!
Do you live in Kentucky? You said you were seeing Winger in Ky and I live in Franklin KY just South of Bowling Green.
Georgia... I’m driving up for it
Glam was something in the seventies and the kings was Sweet
Good list but my favorite is Faster Pussycat. Thanks for video
If I were to have a big 4 it would include Dokken, Extreme, White Lion, and Scorpions (if you consider them glam)
I don't listen to much metal anymore but I HATED glam metal (especially being into hardcore punk and hip hop) but ironically now I respect those guys so much.. Lots of talent and true ROCKSTAR BIG D ENERGY lol. It's funny how these guys had more balls than most so called bands have now
Heres mine...
1. Poison
2. Ratt
3. Cinderella
4. Def Leppard
5. Motley Crue
6. Extreme
7. Bon Jovi
8. Dokken
9. Warrant
10. White Lion
George can play absolutely anything any style anytime 👍👍....awesome list
1- Crue 2- Poison 3- Dokken 4- Ratt 5- Bon Jovi 6- Def Leppard 7- LA Guns 8- JET BOY 9- Whitesnake 10-Great White
What is your opionon on def leppard after Pryomaina after drummer accident like hysteria and adrenlinlize
Do you have a battle jacket, would like to see a video of your battle jacket.
I have a lot of patches I just need to get a vest... will show if I ever get around to it 👍🏻
I prefer to refer to them as hair metal:
1. Dokken
2. Steelheart
3. Tyketto
4. Tesla
5. Stryper
6. Great White
7. TNT
8. XYZ
9. Hardline
10. House of Lords
I don't really see Dokken as a glam band they were heavier than glam or hair metal bands
The way I look at it is Glam metal is a subgenre of heavy metal so all of these bands could be referred to as either or... Dokken is definitely one the heavier bands tho
@@brycetalksmetal 👌
Def Leppard didn’t become Glam Metal till Pyromania. Their first 2 records are NWOBHM records
1. Ratt
2. Motley Crue
3. Whitesnake
4. Tesla
5. Cinderella
6. Poison
7. Slaughter
8. Stryper
9. White Lion
10. Dokken
I definitely leaned toward the harder side of metal when these albums were released, I was more into NWOBHM bands and the thrash bands that followed in their wake. But now that I'm a bit older and have some more mature reflection, I can definitely say that yea, those glam bands really did make a lot of soft, corny music.
I'd put Great White on this list over a number of them, but I agree with quite a few.
Kix and Skid Row are my favorites
Vito Bratta has my favorite tapping licks, other than Michael Romeo of course.
I grew up as an 80's teen and I think Bratta was the best tapper outside of EVH
If you are unfamiliar with XYZ (I'm sure you are) they are a fuckin killer glam metal/hard rock band. They also wrote some straight heavy metal tracks on their two releases in 80s and early 90s
My favorite is giant 🤘🏼
Aor
@@Tikitackfouls naw..its more hard rock and glam with a touch of aor

My best glam Motley Crue,best metal Megadeth best rock Van Halen w Roth
It's funny how Roth Van Halen started the whole hair metal scene but most people don't consider them hair metal
Great banda and awesome video.
D'Molls in my favorite glam metal band
Their self titled lp is killer
This was a tough selection but the number 1 is deserving.
finally Dokken gets some love
1. Skid row 2. Dokken 3. Queensrÿche but i don’t even know if you can put Queensrÿche in this category
I wasn’t considering Queensrÿche for this... they are great though
Not a Stryper fan? My list would be impossible to rank but Stryper would be #1. Guitarists Michael Sweet and Oz Fox are an awesome duo
Glad to see Dokken as your #1! 🤘🏼
They’re goated for sure 👍🏻🐐
Good to see somebody giving Sleez Beez some love. Check out "Insanity Beach". Came out right after Powertool.
L.A. Guns Hollywood Vampires album is great! RATT and L.A. Guns both have great songs in a great movie Point Break! That movie actually got me into those two bands! Nobody Rides For Free and Over The Edge are kickass songs in my opinion! Body Talk is great too featured in The Golden Child film.
Agreed with most of your picks but for me, no way I’d leave Danger Danger & Warrant off the Top 10
No Steel Panther? Dude...
Great top but I like Twisted Sister, Europe, Pink Cream 69, Bon Jovi, Danger Danger, Damn Yankees, Britny Fox, Def Leppard and Van Halen of course. 🤘🏻🤠🎸
Shotgun Messiah is my favorite.
Y&T, TNT, Dream Police are other acts people tend to forget.
