- In this one, Bryan from the Hair Band Basement and I discuss 1992, the year that grunge took over... or not? We discuss the 20 greatest hair metal albums of the year, an overlooked and tragically underrated year in the history of Hair Metal. Come along for the ride!
I had to take a little break from the video as I am working on maintaining my sobriety right now. My wife passed away in 2021 and it's tough right now. These videos give me something to look forward to.
Hey, Brother, this is one of the best comments ever. Seriously. And I am praying for you and your sobriety. I've struggled with sobriety in the past, but I can't even imagine what it's like to lose your wife. Just know that I am rooting for you, and the fact that you look forward to my videos when things are difficult is about the best thing I've ever heard in regards to my channel. Take care, man.
@@HairMetalGuru419 thanks bro, I'm motivated again. I'm 42 and played in bands from middle school to my mid 20s. I lived the rock n roll life and am now paying for it. But I play guitar, bass and drums. I've got about,7 songs ready for recording as soon as I find a singer. My style is in the vain of warrant, 🐀, firehouse ext ext. My wife was a special edition English teacher and ESOL instructor before she became disabled. She suffered from dwarfism. 4 foot tall and 80 pounds but a much bigger person than most.
Wish you strength and well doing that. So sorry for your loss.
Stick with it man. Stay strong.
I had to come back and make a new comment. I remembered another one from 1992 that was largely ignored. Dee Snider formed a band called Widowmaker that put out an album called "Blood and Bullets" full of catchy, heavy melodic rock. "The Lonely Ones" is one of my favorite tracks. Band featured Al Pitrelli on guitar who has played with Megadeth and Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
No order here.
1. Roxy Blue- want some
2. Warrant- dog eat dog
3. Poorboys-Pardon me…great album
4. Trixter- Hear
5. Wildside- under the influence. Another killer album
6. Great White-psycho city. Such an underrated album
7. Bon Jovi- keep the faith
8. Lynch mob-2nd album. Self titled
9. Bad 4 good- I don’t care that album is so good.
10. Hardline- double eclipse.
Alternates
1. Slaughter-wild life
2. Soul kitchen- self titled. Check out this album
3. Heavy Bones- self titled
4. Great king rat- self titled album. Crazy name but so is killer dwarfs and they are awesome lol.
5. Killer dwarfs- method to the madness lol👍🏼
Great list, Brother, I need to revisit that Poorboys album.
@@HairMetalGuru419The poorboys and Another band called Soul kitchen both came out in 92. A litttle bit of the black crows and some damn good hooks also had their own thing going. I still listen to both albums a lot. Keep up the cool content brother✌🏼
Loved poorboys
1992 was such a great year. Dirty Rhythm's "Hard as a Rock" (one of those albums where its not clear if its 91 or 92) and Star Star's "The Love Drag Years" are some good obscure albums worth checking out. Michael Monroe even made a cameo in Star Star's "Science Fiction Boy" music video. Great choices by both of you as usual!
Shit, I LOVE Dirty Rhythm and Star Star. I should've at least had them in my honorable mentions. Hey, man, thanks a lot for supporting the channel, I really do appreciate it.
Trixter "Hear!" is one of my favotites of 1992.
Just listened to that the other day. Underrated album.
hear was an awesome record. about 6 months ago pj and steve were on the eddie trunk podcast and were part of a discussion about the end of the era. they talk pretty in-depth about the release of hear, and how it basically fell flat as mtv told them a week before the release that they would not play any videos they might release. i believe the episode was called "the wall of nirvana". totally worth checking out.
Anthony this is James you two are gold together I learn so much 1992 was a great year so many great albums one i listen to all the time is TNTs Realized Fantasies Album and the ballad LionHeart so killier
Hey, James, thanks for the kind words, Brother! Gonna check out that TNT song this weekend, man. Thanks again!
@HairMetalGuru419 this is James thank you can't wait to hear what you think of it
I remember 1992. It was a great year for Metal, Hair and otherwise. However, you could also see grunge and alternative starting to become more dominant. Great video, by the way. Keep them coming! 🤘
I have zero problem with the amount of content you uploaded.. I have zero problems with the way you come across.. you are clearly not phony .. I support you
Hey, thanks, Brother. Seriously, I appreciate your support, man.
best channel of this variety on youtube. you do you anthony. you are a great host, and your numbers will keep growing.
For my money, Tora Tora's Wild America was the album of the year. Love that album! Actually all 4 studio albums are stellar and the new songs and compilation they have just put out is great too
I LOVE Wild America! I only have that one and the debut... I need to check out their other stuff.
Dude thank you for mentioning Killer Dwarfs. I love that band. Dirty weapons album is my favorite album of theirs but I can still remember buying method to the madness at my local record store Camelot music
You're welcome, Brother, I love that band, and Dirty Weapons is fantastic.
Have been shouting praise for that Heavy Bones albums for as long as remember. It had far more depth than Cats and Ellis took that awesome voice of his to new places. Cheers for including it!
Hey, thanks, Brother. Yeah, the fact that Joel Ellis didn't become a phenomenon just sucks. Hey, thanks for watching, man.
Another quality vid from the Guru and Bryan. Dog eat Dog and Double Eclipse are well known to me and are ACE. Thanks to you guys i now have wildside and sleeze beeze on my playlist!! Thank you. One last thing, 1992, The Crimon Idol by WASP was released, brilliant album, great guitar and drum work, great song writing by Blackie.highly recommend a listen! Thanks for taking the time and effort in reading all comments and replying. It must be hard work, regards Tony
Keep doing what you do, man, love you. Anyway, have a blind person, I didn’t have much of a way of finding out about new hair, metal stuff at the time, so thinking for revisiting me to that area. Take care.
Another cool video🤘so much killer stuff in 92! always amused and laugh when Brian messes with u about the ballads but hey i love em too! Always great when i see Brian and Ryan on there with u...they're both awesome! Cant wait for the next episode!
My opinion is that you are doing just fine and I would like you to keep doing what you want to do
Thanks, Brother, I appreciate it man!
There’s the year. It’s insane how many incredible albums were released in 92. Supposedly hair metal was dead but that didn’t stop my wallet from getting drained by the dozens of albums I had to pick up this year. The genre was still alive and creating killer content but unless you were actively seeking it out you never would have known.
Absolutely right, Brother. So many of the best releases in hair metal went completely under the radar. Thanks for the supporting the channel, man.
Another enjoyable episode! I've further expanded my list of leads. Jeez... just when I thought I was running out of new bands I come here and pick up all your obscure stuff lolol! I've got so much to research and that's only 3 videos I've watched. My fav pick up so far is Dirty Rhythm. Totally digging that album. Oh and I saw you were stoaked to have reached someone in Hungary... I'm in Scotland so you've reached out pretty far with this shit bro!
Wow, people in Scotland are watching this shit? That blows me away, man, and thank you so much, seriously, I appreciate it.
@@HairMetalGuru419 Welcome and deserved 😎
Anthony & Bryan...Great show !! One I would mention from 92' is Bon Jovi - Keep the Faith. Not a huge fan, but gotta give credit where credit is due. Had decent sales in the U.S & good sales worldwide. I've always been on the fence about calling them "Hair Metal" because they have that pop sound to them. Regardless, worth a mention. Keep up the great work !! How about a Guru, Bryan & Ryan top 5 topic show ??
Love LSD. I saw them in Chicago before they moved to LA. 1st time live, they blew me away. I think they might have opened for Enuff Z znuff or Hurricane Alice.
Hey Anthony I have to tell you that ever since I first started watching your videos about a month ago I notice how much you are like my friend Brent a guy who lives near me in burien, Washington.
He is a total metal head. He even has long rocker hair. He has always talked to me with great fan enthusiasm about metal music from the '70s, '80s, and '90s.
So there is something about the way you talk about it with enthusiasm, your communication style and even the way you say fuc5 is the way he says it so in an exasperated way, all these things are like him.
So because of these commonalities between you guys listening to your videos always gives me great comfort and pleasure because you really remind me of him.
Nice to see the Killer Dwarfs getting some love! If you like the 1992 release you guys should try the previous one, Dirty Weapons. That album is perfect from start to finish.
Listening to it right now. Thanks for the recommendation... haha
Dirty Weapons is a great album!!
So glad I stumbled across this channel, think I said it the last video Warrant are criminally underated, Jani was so talented. Dunno if you take on board any recommendations check out an album from 92 called Gallus by a Scottish band called Gun, if you like that the follow up Swagger is a banger and the debut Taking On The World is a great album too
Hey, man, I LOVE when people send me recommendations, and this is the 2nd time someone has told me to check Gun's album "Gallus." Gonna check it out today! Hey, man, thanks a lot for supporting the channel, I really do appreciate it.
Extreme - III Sides to Every Story
For some reason that never grabbed me--I need to revisit it.
always thought that album had everything you could ask for, and on paper sounded like it would be incredible, but whenever i put on, just didn't do much for me at all.
Great video guys! Plenty of honorable mentions - I hope you look into part 2.
I think the following were good ones too:
W.A.S.P. - Crimson Idol
Lynch Mob - Lynch Mob
House of Lords - Demons Down
Just to touch a little bit on the silly immature or inappropriate lyrics at the time, some of these bands had written those songs when they were way younger and years prior to the releases. Some of them had to wait years to get signed by a record label and like you mentioned, some of them may have been rushed to get something out and they didn’t have any more material at the time. Anyway, the hair/glam metal genre is fascinating IMO. Lots of “what ifs” especially during the late 80s/early 90s transition, maybe more than any other genre.
🔥🎸🤘🏻
Hey, great point about the lyrics, absolutely. For some reason I can't get into Lynch Mob, but I love the Crimson Idol and Demons Down. Hey, man, thanks a lot for supporting the channel, I really do appreciate it.
@@HairMetalGuru419 I love Lynch Mob. Give them another shot and listen to "When Darkness Calls" off that second self-titled album if you get a chance. Beautiful song. George Lynch's haunting guitar tone combined with Robert Mason's vocals.
So glad i found this channel, it takes me back to a great time for music. Totally agree many bands put out their 2nd or 3rd albums out around this time and most were largely ignored. For me "Dog Eat Dog" put out at any other time would be regarded as Fantastic Rock record.
Another awesome video, keep it up!!!
My favorite of 1992 is Animal Bag's self titled CD. If you've never heard it, check it out! So good.
Made my honorable mentions. A great album!
Hey, thank you for the support. Seriously, I appreciate it. Never heard of Animal Bag, but I'm going to check it out this weekend!
I got one that most people wouldn't even think of. I never even heard of them until I saw them open up for Vince Neil on his solo 'Exposed' tour. They were really good live so I went out the next day and bought their CD. The band name is 'My Little Funhouse' and their CD was called "Standunder". Songs like "I Want Some of That", "Wishing Well", and "Raintown" are some of the really good tunes.
Other CDs in 92 I love include Southgang "Group Therapy" and Slaughter "The Wild Life" to name just a couple. Great channel!
Shit, I know of My Little Funhouse, but I don't remember anything by them--I need to go listen to that. Love Southgang, and I love the debut from Slaughter, I did think The Wild Life had a lot of filler. Hey, man, thanks a lot for supporting the channel, I really do appreciate it.
@@HairMetalGuru419 They have a couple of beautiful ballads on Standunder. My favorite of the 2 is just called "Anonymous" but the other one called "Raintown" is really good too. I think you would like them. The whole album is really good. Funny story: I remember reading somewhere how the band got their name. The lead singer said his girlfriend nicknamed her private area 'my little funhouse' lol.
Good to see Killer Dwarfs get some love. Underrated band. Up there with Coney Hatch from Canada too.
Only recently stumbled across these vids.. Nice one Guru 👍 Appreciating all your heartfelt love for Jani. I guess I'm a fair-weather fan according to what you said about the first two albums 😉 Nonetheless, the Song and Dance Man has remained with me 33 years, and still counting... I watched this episode about 92 especially to see whether you'd mention Wildside (even less know here in the UK) 👌
Alright, I haven't checked the channel in a few weeks. I check it out and I'm treated to 2 hour and a half videos of rock n roll.
I get a new band from you at least once a month. I agree Cats N Boots is not a great moniker.
Hey, thanks, Brother, I appreciate you always supporting the channel! Seriously.
@@HairMetalGuru419 I'm pissed my buddies computer won't boot so I'm over here getting it up. I'll have to finish the videos tomorrow.
I know people are split on this album, but I thought it was a masterpiece: Extreme - III Sides To Every Story
Also not really Hair Metal but:
King's X- King's X
Faith No More- Angel Dust
Iron Maiden- Fear of the Dark
Ugly Kid Joe's- America's Least Wanted is definitely one of the most underrated albums that came out that year. I figured they were going to be the next big thing until the shift happened in the industry. As for the song Busy Bee, it was played quite a bit on the local radio in the small town where I lived at the time.
1992 overall was probably the best year for rock and metal music since it was one of the only years hair metal was still big alongside the rise of alternative and grunge metal (that and Dream Theater getting noticed 😁). You are completely right that some of these hair metal bands would have continued to stay big if the record companies and media didn't drop them like a lead balloon. Unfortunately, there was also a lot rehashed garbage at that point as well; as is usually the case for any genre of music after a certain point.
angel dust was one of the finest releases of the year in 1992. shocked their fan base that only enjoyed epic. so different, and so heavy in parts that was unexpected after how hooky the first record with patton was.
that album still sounds fresh today, and was influential to a lot of bands that came out in the mid-2000's.
back in my college days (1998-2002), i was posting on the old metal edge message board, and jim martin posted something. i wound up exchanging email's with him for a good few months back then. he was farming pumpkins (true story!) and wound up being interviewed about it on the local news in california back then (which is on youtube). anyway, he was super friendly and answered all sorts of questions about the albums he was on. he also released a solo album (milk and blood) and also was really tight with the metallica guys, and other bands from the bay area. anyway, angel dust was super bad ass.
I need to revisit III Sides... I know it didn't grab me in the past, but I don't know if I gave it a real shot. Yeah, '92 was such a great year, but record companies were moving on to the next big thing and FAST. Hey, man, thanks a lot for supporting the channel, I really do appreciate it.
Never miss your channel, it keeps getting better & better. By the way, why you never mentioned a Japanese band called Loudness, they released tons of albums and i love their earlier stuff, 'Soldier of fortune' is a killer album from start to finish. Keep the good work up.
Sic Vikki- 1993 release! still 80's af tho
I just heard about that band a couple weeks ago... how the hell did I miss them? Good stuff.
1:48:30 ironic that the Black Crowes made it with a cover song (Hard to Handle) as their top single - maybe that's why Lillian Axe tried to as well with 'No Matter What' and a year later so did Mr. Big with 'Wild World'
Killer Dwarfs Method To The Madness is my favorite from 92
Fantastic album
@HairMetalGuru419 I actually have the promo cassette with the song Start At One on it before Epic took it off and replaced it with Doesn't Matter. Different track order too. Great find.
Hey Guru, you ever hear of a band that was in the same category as Stryper called Bloodgood?
Their first album was self titled and was pretty darn good. I'm gonna say it came out 1987-ish.
I have never heard of them, but thanks for the recommendation, man, I will plan on checking it out this weekend.
i got the first bloodgood album at a goodwill in 1996 for 50cents. it was pretty cheesy, but i held onto it. it was super jesus'y!
Butch Walker with Marvelous 3 had the guitarist from Saigon Kick in it.
Life Sex & Death is my 92 pick. Sure, the gimmick was goofy but the album rocked and they were great live.
Damn, I wish I had seen them live. Great album. Hey, thanks for watchin', man.
Why any shame for Night Ranger? They are a great band and I think they completely fit your area??
Saw Night Ranger for first time last fall and they are still sound amazing... they got pigeonholed by their hit Sister Christian but they're actually a lot more rocking than that.
Faster Pussycat - Whipped!
Warrant - Dog Eat Dog
Ugly Kid Joe - America's Least Wanted
Damn Yankees - Don't Tread
Skid Row - B-Side Ourselves (EP)
FireHouse - Hold Your Fire
Kiss - Revenge
Saigon Kick - The Lizard
Slik Toxik - Doin' the Nasty
Izzy Stradlin - Izzy Stradlin and The Ju Ju Hounds
Great list... most of these either made our lists or the honorable mentions... the only two that didn't were Skid Row (covers album, so I left it out) and Izzy Stradlin... I need to revisit that one.
@@HairMetalGuru419 I put skid row on my list because there cover of the Ramones Psycho Therapy just smokes and has base player Rachel Bolan on lead vocals.
@@billyaltvater2238 That's my favorite song on that album.
Izzy's record is great🙌
This is James Anthony TNTs Realized Fantasies album from 1992 is a great album with the ballad on their called Lionheart that song will pull at your heart strings I could list all of the other great albums from 1992 bur I would be on here along time to do it so but like I always say great video love your stuff keep up the great work love it
I bought Heavy Bones on cassette originally when it came out after seeing the write up in Metal Edge. “Turn It On” should have been a huge single!
Regarding Steelheart’s debut from ‘90, there was another hit single (actually it was the biggest international single off the album) “She’s Gone (Lady)” another incredible power ballad.
You're absolutely right about "She's Gone," I completely blanked it out. And I LOVE Turn It On--great song!
1992 was the beginning of the end. Don Dokken went solo, Stephen Pearcy formed Arcade and Vince Neil also was solo. Faster Pussycat summed up the time with the track Nonstop To Nowhere. The lyrics are heartbreaking. Slaughter also summed up the times with the track Times They Change. I loved 1992 I was 19.Great show guy's. Cheers from Australia
don dokken's solo record in 92 was great!
Australia is in the house! Yeah, Nonstop to Nowhere was really on to something. Hey, man, thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it.
it wasn't the end, it was just a timeout - those bands all came back and by 1999 we were partying like 1985 again and they're still touring and churning out new albums while most of the grunge bands all self destructed because their songs are so depressing
Don Dokken going solo gave us Lynch Mob
What no love for the most awesome song they did, come again. Ted does the best solo of his career imo
Shit, I LOVE that song.
Babylon AD's second album was released in 92 and that's a good one.
I do agree that 1992 was a particulary good year in glam/hard rock. I believe the best was Jerusalem Slim with Mike Monroe and Steve Stevens. "Lethal Underground" is maybe the best hard rock song of this decade. The channel is good I love it. Greetings from Hungary.
People from Hungary watch this shit? Unreal. Hey, thank you for the kind words and for supporting the channel, man, I appreciate it. Seriously. I have the Jerusalem Slim CD--I'm a major Michael Monroe fan--need to revisit, it's been a while.
Andy Warhol was right is sooooo awesome...beautiful delivery and rocking at the same time!!!
Happy Friday!!
Back atcha, Brother! Hope you dig the new one!
Heavy Bones was an awesome album!! Good call 🤟 20:37
Amen, Brother. Hey, thanks for watching, man, I appreciate it.
Hey Guru! You put Dream Theater on the list which reminded me of Winter Rose, the band James Labrie sang for back in like 89-90. An obscure Canadian gem. They were straight Hair Metal. You would love it, man. Check out the video for their song I'll Never Fall In Love Again. It's a great power ballad with a similar vibe to White Lion's Broken Heart. I'm betting it's right up your alley!
I'm gonna check that shit out right now. Thanks, Brother!
Great video boys!
Thanks, Brother! Appreciate your support, man, seriously...
@@HairMetalGuru419 yw dude
1992 was maybe my favorite year of great metal
Hey guru and brian have y'all heard of tattoo rodeo 1st cd rode hard put away wet and 2nd cd skin. Skin thats their baddest. One of the baddest blues cd . Spread eagle open to the public kicks ass but not as good as their 1st.
I love the debut by Tattoo Rodeo.
I fuckin' LOVE Tattoo Rodeo.
the 2nd album was fantastic, but came out in late 1995. loved it.
Honestly... I will never not want to listen to Here I go Again
Great White Psycho City released in September 1992 is a great album and their best album. Sadly it’s not well known.
1996 Great White Let it Rock album is good also.
“True Believer” was the first single from Poetic Justice” but the label opted not to make a video. “No Matter What” the follow up single did get a video as was mentioned. Go figure… yet another label misstep….
Exactly. I do like the song "No Matter What," but True Believer is the stand out rocker on that album.
Saints & Sinners debut and only album is incredible!!
Warrants Dog Eat Dog was best "hair metal" album of 1992. Facts.
LOVE/HATE Lets Eat.. I know it's not 1992.. but you should check it out abd and Quiet Riot guilty pleasures
Yep, I need to revisit that Love/Hate album... QR as well. Hey, I listened to that ballad... it's solid! Seriously.
Do you mean Let’s Rumble? Love/Hate went more darker on that one and tried to change with the times.
Thank you.. that is my old band 1988.. Cannon Group is my current band I really appreciate your support
No LETS EAT is one of their albums. Also do you think my ballad has a taste of white lion
@@JohnnyBlade-de7id Yeah, I can hear some White Lion in your song. Very cool.
Currently watching the video, can't find Bad4good on Spotify, I do remember Thomas Macrouglins name tho
I've listened to it on CZcams if you wanna try there.
@@HairMetalGuru419 just watched a couple of Bad4good videos, how the hell have I never heard of them
Bangalore choir 1992 is a really good one
Was THIS CLOSE to making my list. Great album.
Roxy Blue! Love em
they fought back tooth and nail' Def Leppards ardenalize (released in 1992 -out sold nirvana knocked it off the rock changes)- seems like early 1993 is when they pulled the plug out completely for anything glam metal related; makes you wonder what the hell the was drvie to do that? like the mtv directors took it personal that a hair metal start did he wife or gf and then he gets to get back at them by takingn them off the video rotation and making a cartoon where the sole goal for the first couple seaons was to make anything 80s look retarded and make fun of all the 80s glam metal bands.
Completely here you, sometimes it does seem like a big elaborate scheme. But, then again, every genre ends at some point... unfortunately.
the b-sides album retroactive from def leppard came out 1993/4 and was fantastic as well. got some good mtv exposure with 2 steps behind and miss you in a heartbeat. solid record.
Dont forget that the biggest song in 1992 was mr big to be with you
@@camilomontoya7412 either that or more than words from extreme
@@patrickreeves4650 I really liked "Retroactive"
Babylon Ad - Nothing Sacred
Bangalore Choir - On Target
Damn Yankees - Don't Tread
Electric Boys - Groovus Maximus
Extreme III Sides
Firehouse - Hold Your Fire
Saints & Sinners - S/T
Slik Toxik - Doin' The Nasty
Von Groove - s/t
WASP - Crimson Idol
The best album of 92 and all time though, is Dream Theater's Images & Words
The drummer from bad4good is the drummer of avenged sevenfold now. has been for years
Shit, I think I heard that. Thanks for the info, man.
1) jesse harte was brought in by warrant in 1993 after jani left, and was offered the gig in warrant, however harte was convinced by his management that he could get a solo deal with a decent label and make more money with his own songs. personally, i think harte in warrant would have been terrible.
2) always loved the record double eclipse from hardline. it had everything the hard rock fan would ever want. to me, it encapsulates something i call "baywatch music". you could just imagine any of those songs appearing on an episode of baywatch!
3) trixter - hear was released late 1992, and was dead on arrival...but a great album
4) widowmaker (dee snider) - blood and bullets was out in 1992, and had an amazing ballad called "calling for you". albums was okay, but that ballad was one of the best.
Shit, I think I remember hearing about Jesse Harte and Warrant being a potential match. Completely forgot about that. I just revisited "Hear," much better than I had remembered... very solid. I have that Widowmaker CD, but I need to check out that ballad. Thanks for the head's up, Brother.
@@HairMetalGuru419 the other “match” was pat briggs who would go on to front former lollapalooza band “psychotica”. he was in a glam band called r u ready, and warrant offered him the gig after doing a song with him…but he left town and never responded. odd guy…he died last year.
Marvelous 3 were bascially Southgang minus Jesse Harte. They dropped a new album last year and are doing some shows this year. Still kicking ass as they did back then. They also had another band called Floyds Funk Revival/The Floyds that did 2 albums with the bass players wife Chystyne on co vocals with Butch in beteen the two bands.
Jesse/Jimmy has tried to do Southgang 2.0 and another band, yet he has some addiction issues that fuck him up and always ruins whatever he gets going, which is a shame, he had a great voice, now he sounds like Udo.
Damn, I didn't hear that about Jesse and addiction issues. That sucks. Yep, I knew of the Floyds Funk Revival... never heard anything from them. Marv 3 is fantastic... Hey, thanks for watching.
I like the long videos
Thanks, Brother, I know a lot of people do.
Thomas McRocklin, real last name McLaughlin.... he has a CZcams channel. If you are into Steve Vai-style instrumental stuff, look him up. He is a freak of nature. Amazing guitarist and often talks about being under the wing of Steve Vai... Great stories if you want to hear what it was like during his early teen years doing all of this stuff. Yes, he was in Steve Vai's video "The Audience is Listening." Other than that, "Slow and Beautiful" is my fav ballad on that album. Way better than "Nothin' Great about a Heartache."
Haha, I guess we'll have to disagree about which ballad is better... I do really like "Slow and Beautiful," though. Gonna check out that YT page... thanks for the recommendation!
do you know of anywhere to hear the "lucy's milk" stuff they did after mcrocklin left in 1993? metal edge seemed to have a story about them every issue, then they broke up as they couldn't find a label. i have searched the internet for years, but never could find anything.
@@patrickreeves4650 Not sure anything was actually ever recorded with that band
1992 - Saigon Kick - The Lizard .
Not really hair metal apart from the ballad ' Love Is On The Way'.
Great band and very underated IMO.
Of course I worship Dream Theater's Images and Word. God tier album but definitely heavier, more serious than most of the bands you cover. But when Gary said, "We don't give an eff about rules?" You guys missed a chance to swing into Kik Tracee's No Rules.
damn yankees drummer also with accept. night ranger kicks ass too
Dean Cain from Journey.😂🤘🏼🤘🏼
Did I say Dean Cain? Shit!
@@HairMetalGuru419 after he is done making whatever next lifetime movie he does, maybe he can be in Skid Row!
Check out the band shelter dogs Danny cooksey is the singer totally different music than bad 4 good but his voice is still really great
Damn Yankees did record a third album in the late 90s but the label rejected it.
Yeah, I heard that, and the record label paid them a boat load to go away.
Dude I’m from Toronto Canada…check out Monkey Head band only on CZcams here…featuring Jason hook on guitar..they got signed in 91 by Electra produced by Beau Hill..it never got released because of 92…they were called No Love Lost back then…Grew up with Jason so I played this for years ..Jason released it Independent under Monkey Head in Japan. Please check it out this Album and band should have but of course the curse of 92 and on..Sam
Hey, Brother, Canada is in the house! Thanks for watching, man, and I will definitely go check out Monkey Head--available on CZcams?
Jason Hook also played in the Killer Dwarfs in 1994. There is a video on CZcams with him in the band.
@@brianm7185yes I filmed that at nags head east
I would have added War Babies 1992 sole album
LOVE / HATE "don't play your guitar while you're talking to me" EAST COAST GRINDHOUSE PARTY PREMIERE AT 10:00 A.M.
Look for DIRTY LOOKS..One Bad Leg 1994 on West Coast grind house party
So you don't know who Gary hoey is.. you're fired..lol
@@JohnnyBlade-de7id I worship Dirty Looks.
Massive praise for Love/Hate followed by absolutely dumping on "Rob The Cradle" for the underage overtones.
Did you forget these lyrics? "Rock Queen, thirteen, buxom blonde, bad dream. Let me touch your cookies. Let me eat your cookies, NOW!!!"
FYI: Age of Consent in Nevada is 16.
True. That’s another one with creepy lyrics. No idea why bands did this.
@@HairBandBasement The "why" is easy. That was the scene. That was the reality.
As someone who spent every weekend from 88-93 either on a SoCal beach or the Sunset Strip, the stories I could tell would make you laugh in some cases, blow your mind in others, and totally disgust you in at least a few. Those aren't just song lyrics. A lot of those, Rock Queen, Rob the Cradle and Seventeen for sure, are musical interpretations of true stories. Even for those who were just band adjacent (like me), that was how those weekends went, and I wouldn't change it even if it meant getting the ones who didn't survive back.
Yeah, those lyrics are creepy as shit. Yikes. Love that album, though.
Dream Theater I'd awesome along with Fates Warning
album covers? lets grow up guys it goes deeper than that
Could you elaborate? What do you mean by "album covers"?
@@HairMetalGuru419 just talking shit about covers you dont like it just seems pointless. but thanks for bringing to peoples attention real music that they would be clueless about otherwise.
@@joshuaricketts-zf3zh Thanks, man, I appreciate it. If you're talking about the "No Matter What," conversation, it isn't that I don't like that song, I really love it. I just wish that they had put the video money into True Believer, an original. Appreciate you watching.
i could be wrong but i think stanley was a teacher
Have u guys heard of a band BIG COCK ? =Robert mason on vocals. Check out a band from Atlanta DOUBLE DRIVE, BADASS HAND
.
I know I have at least one of the Big Cock CDs, but haven't listened to it in forever. Need to revisit.
It also has David Micheal Phillips from King Kobra. He also was one of the founding members of The Bullet Boys and if you listen to Big Cock and another band called The Tomcats you will hear who might have been a big part of that Bullet Boys first record. Actually, I believe a law suit may have even been filled
35:00 It's considered poor taste in CZcams banter podcasts to step on another man's punchline
Yeah, I got over eager to show I knew the joke. My bad!
That's right, tell that asshole to stop steppin' on my shit!
@@HairBandBasement Yeah, ya asshole! ;-)
I turn 15 in 92. That was a special year wink wink 😉 I was a slut
'92 was a special year for me as well... same reason.
Anthony can u please do a single show without talking about ballads? I hated that shit back in the 80s as much as I still hate it. Those were the songs just to keep the girls happy.
No.
Hey, I didn't mean to be a dick with my earlier response. I had just woke up. Anyway, I do LOVE Ballads, but all I try to do is point out the songs I love on an album. Rhino Bucket doesn't have any ballads, and I pump the shit out of that album. Anyway, I appreciate you watching.
@@HairMetalGuru419 lol no problems man. Back in the 80s I remember the collective rolling of the eyes and sighs from the guys when the obligatory dreary ballad got played to keep girlfriends happy. I've always preferred the bangers and went for a piss during the ballads. It's cool that you keep the music of our youth alive and maintain the opinion that grunge was a load of balls.......more power to ya
Dude, you are on the right path with content, but if you really want to grow your channel, three things: 1) Only do two posts a week 2) Try to be more "natural" and accessible (you come off a bit phony - don't "act cool," just be yourself!!), and 3) Your videos need to be shorter. This video is WAYYYYYYYYYY too long. An hour, at most, 30-40 minutes would be best. Good luck!!
I am just worried about a little bit of burnout with 3/4 videos a week - both for him and the audience. I don't think he is being unnatural though, that's just my opinion though.
I like it. The more the merrier
I completely disagree with all 3 things he said! Ur doing fine Guru...I always enjoy the videos and look forward to the next one!🤘
"Hey, man, you sound like a phony and your videos are too long... also, good luck!" David, if you know any of my friends, and by friends, I include the people I podcast with, trust me, they will tell you that this is how I act with people I like. Nothing fake about it, guaranteed. As far as the length of the videos, that I have considered, and I do plan on including more videos that are shorter in length--video reviews and things like that, but I'm also going to do shit like this. I'll end with this--thanks for watching. Really, I do appreciate it. However, if you think I'm fake and contrived, maybe my stuff is not meant for you. Take care.
@@jayjohnson9452 Much appreciated, Brother. Seriously, thank you.
If I recall correctly, Gary Hoey had 15 mins as the next Satch. Radio and MTV propped him up and he had 1 single that got mid big, right after Satriani broke out with Flying in a Blue Dream.
Yeah, shit, thanks for the info. For some reason I had thought he was in a fairly popular band in the mid-80s, but apparently not.
i remember during the summer of 1993 when hoey had "hocus pocus" out, and the video got some regular mtv play...he dd a g3 tour with vai...but he was gone pretty quick. i watched a video joel ellis from cats n boots/heavy bones did with hoey, and he talked a lot about how he and hoey didn't get along back in the day, but they do now, and that hoey does a lot of tv scores now.
