Best and Worst Hair Metal Bands
"It's kind of scary that you might find a certain fashion trend or musical style exciting only to wake up a few years later and wonder, "What the hell was I thinking?" We all have our skeletons and my big one is that, for most of my middle school to high school years, I was a hair metal fan. I was completely possessed by the dark forces of poodle rock. I was seduced by their rebellious f**k-all attitude and enthralled by their dedication to "partying!!" Even though my mom wouldn't let me grow my hair long or wear an earring, I felt that my soul was aligned with Nikki Sixx, C.C. Deville, Taime Downe, and Izzy Stradlin. It's kind of difficult at this point in my life to figure out what it was about certain bands that made me think they either rocked or sucked when, in retrospect, they all seemed to suck. I guess either the subtle distinctions were lost over time or I was more discriminating as a teenager." [Via pitchforkmedia]

In this article, writer Kevin Barnes takes you through his best and worst 1980's hair metal bands. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks David Coverdale (Whitesnake) and Kip Winger (Winger) were creepy. When Whitesnake was popular, David Coverdale looked like my dad with long hair. He was too old to be part of the whole heavy metal rebellion. Plus the name of his band was Whitesnake. Have you ever thought about that one?
While Coverdale was old and and creepy, he wasn't alone. His younger creepier counterpart was Kip Winger. If you think hard, you might be able to remember a few MTV videos where Kip sexually strokes his bass guitar and even licks it with his tongue. What exactly was that all about? I still think it's funny that Winger's biggest song, "Seventeen," was basically a pedophilia anthem. I hope Kip has a seventeen -year-old daughter now and the 57-year-old trucker she's dating whispers those lyrics in her ear every night.
If you've mentally blocked out the lyrics to "Seventeen," don't worry, I just Googled them for your convenience. Enjoy!
she said I'm only seventeen,but I'll show you love like you've never seen

After such a high profile career spanning over 3 decades, Hasselhoff has partaken in many a cheesy photo shoot. In Hoff's defense, most of the embarrassing photos below were taken during the 1980's or in Europe. That almost provides a loose excuse for most of these photos. But many of them are still very questionable and a few actually are quite disturbing.

to upgrade the RAM in your

your local hardware store and grab a couple putty knives.

Framing Hanley have certainly come a long way in a very short time. First formed in 2005, the band posted demos of their songs on MySpace.com. Two years later thier debut LP, The Moment, was released August 2007. Not bad for a bunch of guys barely out of high school.

Our interview with Ryan was just like his lyrics, honest and articulate. Ryan was very forthcoming and spoke openly about everything from his break with No Knife to his freaky cats.
When it comes to so-called heavy metal supergroups, a lot of them usually don’t last long. But for New Orleans’ Down – made up of Ex-Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein, and Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower – there has been something special that has kept them unified for over 15 years.

chagrin of my neighbors, is truly phenomenal.
