Because it's all about the BUTTROCK!!!

Who are you favorite Hairbands??? Is it Winger, Warrant, Poison, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Stryper, Twisted Sister, Ratt, Gun's N Roses, or L.A. Guns????


I know, I know it's cheesy but hey we've all listened to it at one time or another.

Mine were
1. Motley Crue
2. Black N' Blue
3. Warrant

what yours?

FUCK YEAH, these kids these days don't know what they are missing, buttrock and power metal is where it's at.

1. GNR
2.nevermore
3.iced earth

when i was a wee lad I went with my mom to see the ultimate concert of Poison with Warrant opening for them at some arena in La Crosse, WI. So much goddamn hair at that show. amazing.

RAWKIN!!!

I have this thing for Whitesnake.

Okay so maybe its more than a little thing...

Oh boy.

Faster Pussycat
Enuff Z Nuff
TnT

*Shame*

I LOOOOOOVED Motley Crue.

Also Guns N' Roses. And Poison.

Was discussing the other night that one of my very first (if not THE first) albums was Twisted Sister's "Stay Hungry".

I never liked AC/DC (not exactly the same category as the above, admittedly) until I started going to bars a lot and hearing it every night. Now it's not a complete bar experience until I hear them.

I have this huge thing about Tesla. I love them. I read an article on Salon where they called them Buttrock. They are not Buttrock! They're probably blues-rock. Very gritty, down to earth songs about getting wasted and partying in Bakersfield. Honest, simple truck-driver type statements on life. My Radiohead Roommates always make fun of me, but a Tesla concert is a sure winner if you just want to rock your ass off. Go buy The Great Radio Controversy if you want to rock out.

And I don't think I'd lump Guns n Roses in with Buttrock. They're more like straight-up rock, maybe a little cowpunk in there from Slash and Izzy's blues licks. A truly awesome band-Appetite is the best rock album of the 80's, imo.

Back in middle school, i'd wait up til midnight, with my walkman tuned to "heavy metal from hell", on WBCN. My favorites were the disciples of AC/DC: Rhino Bucket & Dirty Looks. Also, I liked Faster Pussycat, and am looking forward to an emo-band covering "Wait", by White Lion! (has it been done, already?)

motley crue, skid row, and poison were my three favorites. skid row actually played here last month at the state fair (!!). i'm still pissed that i missed it.

i never liked winger, but have to give them credit for having the guts to release an ode to pedophilia and statutory rape.

I assume "buttrock" excludes rippers such as Slayer, Iron Maiden, etc.

so...

1. W.A.S.P.
2. LA Guns
3. Motley Crue

eat it...these bands still kick ass.

nice thread, here are my buttrockin faves:

celtic frost
stryper

1. Motley Crue
2. Venom
3. Def Leppard

1.Twisted Sister
2.Quiet Riot
3.Maiden

1-Iron Maiden

2-Bullet Boys

3-Winger

(edit=replaced stryper with winger.....couldn't live with myself if i didn't)

im sorry but maiden is not butt rock

oh man I loved them all, not sure I could pick a favorite but MOtley Crue, Poison, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Ratt and Skid Row are all up top.

When i was a bit younger I got to see Ratt, Brittney Fox and Kix together, as well as Great White, Skid Row, Kiss (in there hair metal phase), Yngwie Malmsteen, Keel.

And I've seen Ratt, Vince Niel, and Jack Blades (singer of Great White) in small clubs well past there prime

the crue will always rule!

man i remember watching warrant on the american music awards when i was like 10 or something and being way into heaven.

sweeeeeeeet chiiiiiiiild.

...fasterpussycat, bulletboys, cinderella, ... i bought a danger danger tape and sang dunkenly along to the whole thing once as a way of getting closer to a girl i liked.... i will go now, head down in shame.....
...maiden & wasp weren't "butt-rock" in my book, they liked blood & stuff a little more than hairspray, me thinks.

Danger Danger?! LOL Now THAT'S BUTTROCK!!!

Im i missing something, Are Venom,Celtic Frost, Iron Maiden or Crue even Butt rock???? No!

Crue might of turned a little Buttish after "Shout at the Devil" but they sure as hell didnt start as butt rock in my book, Maiden never was either. and Celtic frost and Venom, Come on.

This thread smells of Johnny McGovern.
