The hair metal days are gone...

The 1980s hair metal period I believe to have started from 1978 and ended in 1993 is long gone....
Too bad.
It was well recorded in rock history on how Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen creatively explored beyond the blues pentatonic scale and came up with something new in 1978...something similar to Neo Classicalism that gave rise to the 1980s hair metal!

And why it ended in 1993? Thanks to Kurt Cobain and his band Nirvana, they killed hair metal. Grunge killed hair metal.

So who are the hair metallists?
Here they are...

Whitesnake


Van Halen


Def Leppard



Hanoi Rocks


Motley Crue

Can u imagine those rockers putting make up, wearing tight leather pants and strange tight costumes, putting hairsprays that have destroyed the ozone layer and most importantly, their big hair thingy!..... Those are the days....

And hair metal sounds better than alternative rock. For sure!

Go listen to hair metal!
