Title: 80s AOR/Hair metal etc
Post by: Barrytron on August 13, 2020, 05:36:28 PM
Had a thread on MI about this in days of yore. If anyone's interested you might post any hot gems here as I'm always on the lookout for stuff from that hot cheesy era

Im on Melidian today featuring a great David Lee Roth clone

That's not the worst. I'm a sucker for the cheesy keyboards and super-reverb drums

That sounds class. Im always on the lookout for more albums like this.

Does Ratt - Invasion of Your Privacy fit into this category? One of my favourite albums in that style, and I prefer it to 'Out of The Cellar'.

Yeah love Ratt. I got up to there with them though, the 1988 album was where I got off. Lay it Down is a great riff. They had something strange about their sound I always thought.

Anyone know much about this band?

Here's a newer band keeping the hair metal alive. They are definitely big fans of WASP anyway...

Survivor's "Eye Of The Tiger" album is absolutely on the ball for AOR cheese.

Mötley Crüe - Too Fast For Love (1981)

The punky end of Glam and what a cracking debut album it was. I love Mick Mars, his guitar tone on this album is pure class.
An album I still spin regularly....

That SHY album blew me away, it's fantastic. Really surprised they didn't hit the fabled Big Time with that. The one after kinda didn't really have the songs, as much as Excess All Areas did anyway.  The singer died this year didn't he, Tony Mills?

Keep em coming anyway, love hearing the new old music

King Kobra. You know about 3 seconds into the Hunger video that it's serious business.

Haven't stopped listening to this in days. Fucking quality!

Keep em coming these are great...King Kobra vid no longer there though

This is another great album from 1989, Canadian band...really good production and mix. Has that pulsing, mechanical keyboard bass sound that was popular back then.

I've put in a different link for King Kobra.

I hadn't heard of these lads until reading about the singer dying yesterday. This is the real deal here

Really enjoying this. Looked this album up, turns out it's the English FM, not the Canadian one on this

You're right! I always thought that album was by the Canadian one. Every days a school day!

I recognise that King Kobra 'Hunger' from somewhere, the 80s Transformers movie OST? Sounds different though. Never seen the movie but I love the OST.
